• Tank capacity refers to actual tank volume and does not reflect capacity available during operation.

• "Peak Horsepower" (PHP) is a term used in the wet/dry vacuum industry for consumer comparison purposes. It does not denote the operational horsepower of a wet/dry vacuum but rather the horsepower output of a motor, including the motor’s inertial contribution, achieved in laboratory testing. In actual use, motors do not operate at the peak horsepower shown.

• Please note: Please install the filter before turning on the machine, otherwise it may stop working suddenly during operation.

Super vacuum
5 Stars
Super vacuum
I have a large 1 in the garage that I use for wet/dry purposes. Have brought it into the house once or twice to vacuum rugs n floors because it's so powerful. Well then I thought why not purchase the smaller version for just indoors. The suction capability is better than any vacuum I've owned and being smaller it's easier and lighter to maneuver around. I have 4 dogs and the carpeting on the staircases canget linty and dirty quickly. This bad boy picks up everything in one pass.I attached a toiletry bag to hold attachments. Now I could put more accessory tools in this bag then what was provided with order. Now the attachments roll around with me for easier access. Some folks state you cant buy replacement bags, sure you can just get the DEWALT DXVA19-4101 Dust Bag, they fit the 6-10 gallon vacs.I dont use the bags I just empty the canister, when the filter gets dirty I'll just hose it or blow dry it outside.

This is a great little shop vac. I've been using this for my renovation and I love it. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver and has great suction. The only thing I wish is that the main vac head was a little larger and had either some kind of felt or soft brush on it. The suction is so strong that its hard to swipe back and forth because of the seal around the edge of the head. Other than that, I have no issues with this machine.
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024
I bought this primarily for vacuuming my car. I got tired of hauling the Dyson in and out of the house, and this model had some very good reviews. I am totally pleased with this vac. It has plenty of suction, the tools that came with the unit work well, and for a shop vac, it's not overly loud. It also comes with a three year manufacturer's warranty. It's a nice unit and I can certainly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019
Ok, so I don't usually run out and write reviews immediately after receiving a product, but I was (ironically) blown away by this vacuum.
For background, my reaction may have been enhanced by the absolute misadventure of the past month trying to get a vacuum that fit a designated area in my limited space workshop.
However, that experience also provided the contrast to highlight where this vacuum shines.
In a nutshell, I bought a vacuum on here that seemed nice, but upon arrival was too tall. Returned that one and went to a store to get one that was on sale, but they didn't have it so I ordered it online and that one never shipped. The replacement arrived and brought with it its own host of issues, so I ended up returning that as well.

DeWALT is a company I've used for many years and have known to be durable and reliable, so when I came back to find what I hoped was the final vacuum, this one was in the top running.
I got home last night and immediately assembled it, which took about 3 minutes. Use screws to attach the casters to the base and you're done. It fit perfectly in the space under my desk (had about 21.5" clearance), so it was already in my good graces.
It was late, so I thought perhaps I should wait until the next day to actually use it because shop vacs are usually pretty loud, but the dust piles from the weekend's project grew eyes and stared me down.
I had read in other reviews that this vacuum was pretty quiet, so I took the risk. I was amazed at how quiet it runs. From an ambient noise level of about 20db in my garage, this hovered (hoovered?) around 60-63db when turned on. Incredible. My wife said she couldn't hear it downstairs, and sound travels pretty well in our house.

Another big bonus was the size of the hose. After finally receiving vac #2 and trying it out, I was disappointed when it choked on sawdust if anything bigger than a dime was encountered, I.E. every 2 minutes. This pretty much made it useless for my needs.
The hose on the DeWALT is 1" 7/8" diameter and easily handled everything I put it to, including small chunks of wood.
It also quickly disconnects from the vacuum with a push tab, compared to the screw on type that the previous shop vac had, which had a habit of pinching my skin between the hose collar and vacuum lid. Another review said he felt that the hose port on the DeWALT was too thin and brittle, but so far it seems sufficient to me. It doesn't seem flimsy and I think it should hold up just fine.

A nice touch is the rubber cord keeper. So much easier than winding around the lid or what have you.
The only negatives I have about this vacuum so far are minor, but worth mentioning.

There is no on-board accessory storage. The narrow and wide head attachments come with a mesh bag for keeping, and the tube extensions are just free to roam about. I'll probably rig something up for them, but, for your awareness, there it is.
Lastly, the lid could sit slightly tighter to the base. It doesn't shift around in use, but it would just feel better if it latched down tighter. I may put some kind of gasket in there just for personal preference. Again, just worth noting.

If I had the option I might have given this vacuum a 4.5 just because of those things but I am incredibly pleased with it so far and think 5 stars better reflects my experience.
My initial impression is definite satisfaction. If anything catastrophic happens I will update my review to reflect that and just hope it's within the return window!

There is no on-board accessory storage. The narrow and wide head attachments come with a mesh bag for keeping, and the tube extensions are just free to roam about. I'll probably rig something up for them, but, for your awareness, there it is.
Lastly, the lid could sit slightly tighter to the base. It doesn't shift around in use, but it would just feel better if it latched down tighter. I may put some kind of gasket in there just for personal preference. Again, just worth noting.

If I had the option I might have given this vacuum a 4.5 just because of those things but I am incredibly pleased with it so far and think 5 stars better reflects my experience.
My initial impression is definite satisfaction. If anything catastrophic happens I will update my review to reflect that and just hope it's within the return window!

The vacuum does a great job at dry and wet pickup. It's light, maneuverable, powerful yet quiet. Can be used as a blower as well. Comes with attachments. The filter bag seemed oversized, however, and it scrunched up inside when installing. Also, the cord could be longer and a cord management loop was lacking.

I have a large 1 in the garage that I use for wet/dry purposes. Have brought it into the house once or twice to vacuum rugs n floors because it's so powerful.
Well then I thought why not purchase the smaller version for just indoors. The suction capability is better than any vacuum I've owned and being smaller it's easier and lighter to maneuver around. I have 4 dogs and the carpeting on the staircases can
get linty and dirty quickly. This bad boy picks up everything in one pass.
I attached a toiletry bag to hold attachments. Now I could put more accessory tools in this bag then what was provided with order. Now the attachments roll around with me for easier access.
Some folks state you cant buy replacement bags, sure you can just get the DEWALT DXVA19-4101 Dust Bag, they fit the 6-10 gallon vacs.
I dont use the bags I just empty the canister, when the filter gets dirty I'll just hose it or blow dry it outside.

Light, powerful and a good value. I just would have liked it to be quieter but shop vacuums tend to be noisy. The hose is a good size to pickup most construction debris.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent DeWalt wet/dry vacuum. Feels very sturdy.

My more than 20 year old Shop Vac finally was beyond repairs so I intended to get a new one but at the time I learned that the company will soon go out of business. (Later they decided to stay in business).
Anyhow, I checked out other brands of wet/dry vacuums and came across this DeWalt DXV06P 6 gallons model. Most of the reviews for this model were very positive 5 stars. The price at the time of ordering was quite attractive so I placed my order with Amazon. After much use of this DeWalt model I'm not dissapointed. It has excellent suction. fells very sturdy and is not as noisy as my old Shop Vac. Accessories are readily available. I consider this DeWalt wet/dry vacuum an excellent purchase.
