Cordless Vacuum for Dewalt 20V Battery, 5 in 1 Handheld Electric Vacuum Cleaner with 500W Powerful Motor, 46 CFM Portable Hand Vacuum with Filtration HEPA for Floor, Carpet, Car (Battery Not Included)

Well I must say I’m surprised by the power of this little vacuum. I suggest using a longer amp battery. The suction this has is excellent. I used the longer extension to vacuum a rug and it worked to perfection. Easy to use , clean , and has multiple attachments. I was so impressed that I am purchasing another one to leave in my car. A++++

Love this! Bought for all those small projects around the house/car. Works perfectly in the car with the different attachments. Suction is great. Easy to empty canister. Lightweight and easy to carry.

Functionally, it works. But you shouldn't buy one of these, at least not for Milwaukee batteries, as it exceeds the specs for the batteries. As soon I run it, if I then press the battery-charge-level button on the battery, it flashes. Milwaukee doesn't share the meaning of the error codes, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that it's drawing more current than the batteries are designed to handle. Vacuum cleaners are kinda famous for pulling a lot of current as they spin the motor up. Given that the batteries cost more than the unit, you'll be better off paying for one that has a proper current-limiting startup circuit. Beyond that, note that the seller claims it's "protected by a US Patent". That's true, it is. But the patent they cite is a "design patent", which just covers the look of the thing. So all that patent tells you is that nobody else is going to be able to legally sell a vacuum that looks just like this one. It doesn't tell you that the workings of it aren't infringing on somebody else's patents. If you don't mind chancing the battery light, it works pretty well for most things, but I got it specifically to help pick up some of the crumbs from the composite decking that I work on. For that, it struggles because the hose outflow is very close to the filter, so these crumbs (which are long and stringy) clog up quickly. Emptying out the bin is not really a hassle, unless you're having to do after 30 seconds of vacuuming, like I was. If it's just sawdust or something, it'll not clog up like that, so YMMV. Finally, this thing works okay on the less-expensive "Compact Power" battery line from Milwaukee (used in drills, for example), but it runs a whole lot better on the high-output batteries designed for circular saws. But given those batteries start at $150, it's not gonna get another taste of mine.

Like every other Milwaukee tool I've used, this one works very, very well. It has plenty of suction and it's easy to empty. HOWEVER, 1) make sure you have extra batteries if you have a big job, and 2) also make sure you have plenty of compressed air, either from a compressor or from cans, to clean the filter. It does a good job of catching very fine dust from sanding, but like the company's battery-powered hand-held sander, it generates AND picks up a LOT of dust and must not only be emptied frequently but the compressed air is necessary to keep the filter clean. It's has baffles and dust fills up & sticks between the baffles, requiring compressed air to thoroughly clean. Other than that, enjoy! :)

This review is for makita version vacuum. First of all let me make it clear to everyone: people think it's an original makita or dewalt vacuum. It is not. Its a very good copy of dewalt dvc501h model. Maybe it's made in the same factory because the quality is very good. Thr vacuum is made of quality material but the attachment pipes are of cheap material. You have to snug fit the pipes so they won't come apart when using the vaccum. I have used the original makita 18v , 5AH battery and it was enough to clean my whole apartment. I have no carpet, just floor. So it worked out fine for me. If you buy makita batteries from other venders then chances are, they may not be original batteries. An original makita battery 18v 5ah goes for $150 bucks in homedepot. So if you are buying a makita battery for 27 dollars, you can't expect the same performance as the original battery. Some people have complained that the vacuum shuts off after a minute or a few seconds. This is not because of vacuum. Your batteries are either too small, too old or defective. They just don't have the current to keep up with this vacuum motor. Get a good quality original battery and see the magic. Some people are saying, it didn't come with a battery or a cord. Hahaha. You have paid for just the tool. It says clearly in the description that no battery will be shipped. The vacuum is noisy but i don't care. I used it to clean my apartment floor and also my car interior. I have a shop wet/dry vacuum and so happens, the flexible pipe that came with that vacuum, fits this cordless vaccum perfectly. So i had used it to clean my car with the small brush attachment. The hose was used from my "stealth " 3 gallon, 3hp, wet/dry vacuum. Let's just say, i got lucky. I bet i will not be using my shop vac for a while. This little machine does it all very easily.

So far I couldn't be happier with this vacuum. I read comments that some vacs felt cheaply made and flimsy. This one feels like a legit Milwaukee tool and all the adapters fit just fine. I put the canister on and one of my 18v batteries and went to town. My Wife was laughing because I'm a clean freak and was enjoying my new vacuum. We have 4 dogs so hair is an every day issue and the suction on this thing is awesome! I tossed my old Shark hand vac right in the trash.

excellent rapport qualité/prix, fonctionne a merveille, très bonne puissance d'aspiration

Brilliant piece of kit. I have had mine for nearly a year and I have to order another one as my wife has taken ' ownership ' of mine. Bought to replace a Makita Stick Vacuum and it is in a completely differant league for way under half the cost. I wanted to leave it this long before I wrote a review to see haw it faired and it is as good today as the day I bought it.

Excellent product

I have had this for over a month. Although it does a good job vacuuming, the unit isn’t very sturdy. One of the tubes has cracked as the material is very thin. I repaired it using glue and a worm drive hose clip.

I already have the original DeWALT vac, just received this one and tried it to clean the living room, around 10 minutes and the 5Amp battery still has 2 blocks juice. It's exactly as the same with the original one, but this one has more accessories and comes with one extra HEPA filter. Bettery little heated up but i was not sure if this was also happening with the original vac, just noticed this since i read from other reviews. I'm totally happy with my purchase as i paid less than half the price of the Dewalt.
