Dewalt DC500 Canister Wet/Dry Vacuum

i bought this vacuum as my old dustbuster passed away. I have other 18v dewalt equipment so i have the batteries already.

it is very handy to be corded/ cordless, suction is good, though better on tool storage for the nozzles would be an advantage.
I havent used it wet yet but again it makes it very versatile. it isnt heavy and is easy to clean.

the wife likes it because i now don't get her dyson mucky!

It's not exactly, what I was looking for.
For minus:
*I need 4 batteries to hoover my car. (Mayby, because of age of my battery...)
*I start to thing, the make DEWALT is going down with his products... (the quality isn't the same as it was)
for plus:
*it doesn't need any special bags,
*it takes most of dust and sand,
*is corded and cordless in the same time
*was much cheapper because od EBay (one of 2 reasons , why I bought it)

Great little vac,my mates had one for a few years still works great,very roubust for such a small unit.recomend to anyone trade or diy.

this is my third one now not because it broke down because i had the other 2 nicked i found them very handy when doing a service on fires and boilers,it has a decent suction on it even if used with a 18v battery (but not if you want to vacuum the whole house). Not realy used it as a wet vac as i have been told it wrecks the filters so cant realy comment on it, so if it's a small job you need it for its the tool for you.

I bought a Dewalt DC500 Canister Wet/Dry Vacuum because the Builder I employed recently used one whilst altering my house to fit a new kitchen. I have DIY decorated my homes for thirty plus years and the thing I hate most about these jobs is the mess made particularly when preparing an item for decorating. I have ofcourse used my domestic vacuum cleaners to hoover up however I have always dreaded the work in cleaning the Vacuum cleaner afterwards as they always clog up terribly....partularly the filters.
NOT ANYMORE.......if you own a Dewalt DC500 Canister Wet/Dry Vacuum.
I have never seen a vacuum eat up any decorating dust and fine rubble like this thing does. It never loses it's suction and is so easy to empty.
I shall also use it to clean the car and get rid of my old vacuum cleaner which I was keeping for only car and very dirty jobs ie decorating.
Buy one. You won't regret it and Happy Decorating.
