Community Reviews

The DeWalt StealthSonic 12 gallon wet dry vac stands out for being unusually quiet while still feeling powerful, with several comparisons to loud Ridgid and Craftsman shop vacs. The 2.5 inch hose and contractor kit add appeal, and the premium hose is described as more rubberized and less likely to kink. The main tradeoff is size, since the 12 gallon body can feel large for smaller spaces, though the quieter exhaust and lack of blower function are part of what make it so calm to use. At $75, it reads as a strong value for a shop or garage setup.

  • The premium hose may require extra attention because hose rotation can be difficult without an aftermarket swivel tip.

  • The adapter installation can be confusing because users may struggle to find where to screw it on.

  • The Costco model number difference can create uncertainty about whether the yellow hose is truly 2-1/2" diameter.

  • The cyclone filter setup can be a pain to manage, even when the vacuum itself performs well.

This is absolutely my unexpected favorite tool ever. I run a cyclone filter and it's a huge pain in the ass. But whenever I use a standard sub $400 vacuum I am reminded how awesome and decent this stealth sonic so for the price.

Heartbreaking that I missed this deal by just a single day. This is the best price by far that I have seen for the 12gallon shop vac, which has the really nice 2.5" port.

Thank you!

Those of you who got the adapter off Etsy from SuctionEqualsSafety, how in the world do you attach it and where? I can't see where to screw it on. Thank you.

The 2 and 1/2 is the adapter size I bought.

Did anyone buy a new, more flexible hose for this? If so, which one did you buy? TIA.

The hose that it comes with is not long enough and its very inflexible.

That rigid is INSANELY loud compared to this stealthsonic shop vac. If you dont care about how loud it is though, that rigid one would be a good choice.

Just got my Costco Stealthsonic. I think it's going back. Yes, it's shockingly quiet. The rest of the design is stupid. Their solution to accessory storage is a diaper bag that hangs off it. Hose storage is a worthless rubber strap. The filter is some proprietary over complicated design that already had a plastic retainer break off. I'm keeping my Vacmaster Pro Beast. It's not deafeningly loud and stores accessories and hoses attached to the body along with being more compact.

Happen to live near SF Bay Area? I'd love to buy it off you instead of you returning it, if possible Smilie

It's also really big. I'd prefer to empty the thing, I can't see why you would need something that big.
