Community Reviews
This DeWalt 8 gallon wet dry vacuum stands out for being much quieter than a typical shop vac while still handling garage and dust collection work well. The stainless steel build and metal base add appeal, and it can be a solid fit for car cleaning or a bucket and cyclone setup. The main drawbacks are the 4 HP suction, which feels light for tougher wet or dry debris, and the hose and attachments, which can be stiff, awkward, and lacking onboard tool storage. It looks best suited to lighter, quieter shop use rather than heavy construction cleanup.
Car detailers working indoors, because the quieter motor is easier to live with than a standard shop vac while still handling cleanup tasks.
Shoppers replacing a louder shop vac for general garage cleanup, because it is noticeably quieter than typical wet-dry vacs.
Garage woodworkers using a cyclone separator, because it is quiet enough for evening work and can serve as a primary dust-collection vacuum.
Users who want a compact wet-dry vac for cars and light debris, because the lower noise comes with some power tradeoff that suits lighter use.
Shoppers who rely on onboard tool storage, because this vacuum has no built-in storage and only a mesh bag.
Contractors needing maximum suction for drywall debris or heavy shop use, because the 4 HP motor underperforms compared with larger vacs.
People who need a hose and attachments that feel flexible and secure, because the hose can be stiff, the clip weak, and the crevice tool can block full suction.
Users expecting durable hose hardware, because the hose strap can break quickly and the attachment point may fail within a year.

Your other point about storage is valid (and it's frustrating owning this vac) but to say it's not significantly quieter than a regular shop vac is flat out wrong.

To be fair, I used it outdoors, immediately after using my pro-series shop-vac that's 1.5 HP larger, and I just felt that it was still quite loud. Indoors, it was absolutely much louder than background music. Unless you'e accustomed to background music blaring! I don't have a decibel meter, and I know the attachments and load change the pitch, but for me, a former car detailer who's used a lot of wet/dry vacs and extractors, it's just not quiet enough to deal with all the other frustrations. If I needed to use it indoors all the time, I would maybe deal with its other issues.
Side note, I think the hose attachment point is absolutely going to break within a year.
