- Reviewed in Canada on April 13, 2024Verified PurchaseCompact and lightweight, great when used with a hammer drill.

Reviewed in Canada on January 26, 2024Verified PurchaseExactement ce que j'avais besoin. Arriver dans le temps.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2023Verified PurchaseBetter than nothing - just. Barely any suction - good for keyboard cleaning, if that. Don't waste your money.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 13, 2024Verified PurchaseOk but not a powerful vacuum. Does that it was made for anyway
- Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2023Verified PurchaseI found it very useful for my job because my clients are concerned with their breathing health and their families as it prevented dust well
- Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2022Verified PurchaseVery small

Reviewed in Canada on August 11, 2021Verified PurchaseTout est comme mentionné et en bon état, livré rapidement
- Reviewed in Canada on September 27, 2021Verified PurchaseNeat idea from Dewalt to offer a portable battery powered dust extractor at a decent price for jobs where you cant bring your shop vac. The downside is its underpowered which limits you to drill or oscillating cutter dust. Its overwhelmed by an orbital sander for example.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great dust extractor don’t confuse it for a Shop Vac
Verified PurchaseThis has been a great purchase. I’m a small independent cabinet maker and I use this for sanding and often for stone anchors and it works perfectly. Great to bring on site in someone’s home, small and very portable for sometimes you just don’t need the festool. THIS IS NOT a SHOP VAC, it’s a dust extractor, there is a difference. I use a 6 amp hour battery on it and it lasts plenty long for what I use it for. I only wish the hose was detachable, it is fixed and so you can’t add a longer hose other then that I have zero complaints.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't buy it
Verified Purchasethe button to clean the filter did not work. every min or two you have to open and clean it. you spend almost as much time cleaning the filter as you do sanding joint compond. the portabilitie was very nice but a little under powerd. I'd like to see a 60v versoin with the filter cleaning problem resolved

5.0 out of 5 stars Works pefect with dewalt orbital sander
Verified PurchaseHad to order quick connector adapter. The adapter was too big for vac hose. So i used an old shop vac attachment cut extra part off. Fit snugg in adatoer then hose fits snug in cut peice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not AirLock compatible but otherwise performs as promised
Verified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Sound levels measured at 1m read at 79dB(A) vs 82.5 in the manual. This certainly isn't quiet but it's quieter than the tools I'm running with it so I'm wearing hearing protection anyway. Another good showing for performing better than the spec in the manual.
The hose fitting provided is a 32mm OD hose with no provision for use with the "AirLock"-style connector found on nearly all new DeWalt tools. As others have noted, despite a wide range of vacuum hose fittings available from DeWalt, none of them appear to be suitable for making this dust collector work with the majority of the DeWalt tool range. In response to this, I went and designed a 3D printed adapter for this hose to lock onto AirLock connectors which is demonstrated in the attached video. If you have a 3D printer you can download that and print yourself up a free solution that makes this collector finally suitable for use with most DeWalt tools.
