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.
Common Questions (4)
Yes. It is reported to be noticeably quieter than standard shop vacs, with one comparison putting it around 65 dB versus about 80 dB for a typical unit. It can still sound loud indoors, but the lower noise level is enough for some garage and woodworking use without ear protection.
No onboard tool storage is included; the vacuum comes with a mesh bag instead. That makes the accessories harder to organize, and the extension tubes do not fit inside the unit.
It can be enough for lighter garage and dust-collection setups, but it is also described as underpowered compared with higher-HP DeWalt and Ridgid models. For heavier wet/dry cleanup or construction debris, the 4 HP rating may feel like a step down.
Yes. The hose is described as stiff, oddly sized, and prone to awkward attachment, and the crevice tool is reported to be too thick and notched so it cannot use full suction. A rotating adapter can make the hose much easier to use.

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.
