Tools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DC515K Heavy Duty 1/2 Gallon 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Wet/Dry Va

Customer Review: High Quality Hand-Held Vac
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased the DeWalt vac to replace an older Dustbuster. The power of the DeWalt is considerably better. The hose function works well and is great for corners and tight areas. Many reviews raise concern about noise. Here is a comparison measured at 36 inches:

DeWalt cordless vac 87-90 dB
Black and Decker Dustbuster 80-82 dB
Porter Cable wet/dry shop vac 87 dB
Dirt Devil 84 dB
Simplicity home floor vacuum 80 dB

Hearing damage occurs at 90dB over time. Ear muffs for hearing protections store nicely on the handle of the DeWalt and, I believe, should be used. I do not find this to be particularly inconvenient. I own other DeWalt tools and have found them to be consistently high quality. This one is no exception.

Description of DEWALT DC515K Heavy Duty 1/2 Gallon 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Wet/Dry Va

A wet/dry shop vacuum is great, but they can be unwieldy, cumbersome and hard to haul around. DEWALT's combined the cleanup power of a wet/dry with the convenience of a cordless vac and come up with this innovative machine.

It's powered by the same heavy-duty 18-volt battery that runs your drills and other cordless tools, so you know it's got oomph, but it's light and super-portable, making it easy to clean up just about anywhere you're short on space or electricity. We like the flexibility to use either the utility nozzle for floor spills and messes, but the 5-foot rubber hose comes in really handy for cabinet installers, who can set the unit on the countertop and clean out all the shavings and sawdust from new cabinets, even on the top shelves, using the hose.

It picks up extremely well on both wet and dry material, though the tank is just half a gallon and so fills up fairly fast. But to that end, the tank removes and empties so easily that it wasn't an issue for us. The filter is a breeze to rinse clean, too.

A downside? It's loud. But what shop vacuum isn't? We're pretty impressed with this little unit for its convenience and big power. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
