Expert opinion

When it comes to wet/dry vacuums, the DEWALT 20V MAX Vacuum is a great choice for anyone looking for power, portability and flexibility. This vacuum is designed to tackle any job, and its two gallon tank capacity allows you to quickly empty a toilet or clogged pipe with ease. With its cordless or corded operation powered by either an 18V or 20V MAX battery or an AC outlet, you can take this vacuum anywhere.

The HEPA rated wet/dry filter of this DEWALT 20V vacuum traps dust with 99.97 efficiency at 0.3 microns and is easily accessible and washable/reusable so you can keep the filter clean and your device performing well. The heavy duty, crush resistant, fully integrated 5 ft by 1 1/4 inch diameter hose provides durability, flexibility, and ease of use for any job. The on board hose, cord and accessory storage makes the vacuum easy to carry/transport so you can take it with you wherever you go.

This vacuum is perfect for someone who needs something powerful yet portable that can handle both wet and dry jobs without sacrificing performance. It has 31 CFM of suction power which is great for quickly removing debris from hard surfaces like carpets or tile floors. Plus it s lightweight at only 10.83 pounds so it s easy to maneuver around furniture and tight spaces.

The DEWALT 20V MAX Vacuum also comes with a 3 year warranty so you can purchase with confidence knowing that your investment is protected should anything happen to the device during normal use.

Overall I think this is a great product for anyone who needs a versatile vacuum that can handle both wet and dry messes without sacrificing performance or portability. Its two gallon tank capacity makes emptying toilets or clogged pipes easy while the 31 CFM of suction power ensures quick cleanups on hard surfaces like carpets or tile floors. Plus its lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver around furniture and tight spaces while the integrated hose offers additional flexibility when cleaning those hard to reach areas. For anyone looking for a powerful yet portable wet/dry vacuum, I highly recommend the DEWALT 20V MAX Vacuum!
