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.

PROTIP — For anyone who actually gets one of the adapters, be aware the stock cuff is reverse threaded and they also glue it a bit. After cranking on it for a bit (first the wrong way lol then the "right" way) I wound up taking a long screwdriver & slowly working it between the cuff & hose until I got it out the other side (exiting inside the cuff). Then I held both sides of the screwdriver & worked it around the cuff, i.e., parallel to the hose, like a prybar to loosen the glue.
If you don't mind losing a couple inches you can also just cut the damn hose to avoid the headache but... who can afford to lose a couple inches off their hose?? ∠( ᐛ」 ∠)_
