          Excellent Small Vacuum!
          While I've had a large vacuum for years, I've always hated having to drag it around for simple clean-ups. I purchased the DeWalt DCV581H to fit my need for a vacuum that is small and portable, yet will get the clean-up jobs done. I've had my unit for over a year now and use it almost daily. I love that fact that I can pop a 20-volt battery on and be able to use the unit anywhere, yet still be able to plug-in the cord when using it for longer periods where electric is readily available. I've also purchased a DeWalt multi-function connector (DWV9000) that screws onto the vacuum hose to allow direct connection to some DeWalt tools. That allows me to connect the vacuum to my saw or sander and greatly reduce the mess they would otherwise cause in sensitive areas. I definitely recommend the DCV581H Vacuum for its portability and use on smaller jobs. My only suggestion for DeWalt would be to have an accessory tool kit readily available that fits this unit and to setup the debris cannister for the ability to use disposable debris bags.

            EXCELLENT PORTABILITY AND RUNS ON EITHER ELECTRIC OR BATTERY POWER
            The reason I chose this model over the 580 model is because I like to have the option to run the vacuum off of AC power when it is available to use on my jobsites. Otherwise, a battery operated vacuum was just what I needed for convenience. This is the type of tool that once you begin using it, you find all kinds of tasks that it helps with that you didn't even think about when you went to purchase it. After having used it for numerous jobs over the past few months, I am very satisfied with it - but do not quite understand a few of the design issues. For one, the battery is installed with the 'fuel gauge' down, so you cannot read it while it is installed. The exhaust port is also on the same side of the vacuum as the suction port and since the hose is rather short - you can easily end up creating a miniature dust storm when you first turn on the vacuum and forget that it is pointing at the area you intend to clean-up. I've been using 5Ah batteries with it and I find that they last a decent amount of time before needing to be changed. The hose is large enough but the length could certainly be another foot or two longer. You can buy 3rd party hose extenders as needed, quite easily. I like that you have a brush attachment, a wide suction attachment, and the weight of the vacuum is commensurate with the 2 gallon storage size of the vacuum. So far, a great addition to my growing DeWalt tool collection.

            Powerful No, Convenient Yes!
            Let's be clear this vacuum was designed for convenience not performance. It is a small well designed vacuum that is perfect for bringing to the "one day" job site. If I have to cut a hole in the wall for a electrical box or drill a hole through a cabinet it is going to make a mess in my clients house. This vacuum is perfect for picking up after those small messes. Being that it is cordless or corded it makes it that much easier. It's compact design and well thought out ergonomics that incorporates the hose/tools are integrated into the vacuum body without protruding outwardly. It easily fits in the truck in the morning without dragging hoses or cords...and the accessories stay put unlike my shop vac. It helps me be a better carpenter for my customers. That said it is not about performance. It has about half the suction power of my standard shop vac (see photo). But if you are picking up dust or wood shavings this guy is up to the job. Quick and easy.

              I bought it for my wife as a birthday gift. That’s what she wanted and she loves it. The only thing is I’m not sure why the battery doesn’t charge when it’s plugged in not in use. Nice product.

                    The combination cordless or plug-in is great. Easy to carry and put away and clean is great. 2ah battery only lasted a few days with minor usage --- I recommend at least a 4ah battery with regular usage. Cats are afraid of it too --- a plus for me. Lol
