Questions and Answers for DEWALT 20V MAX 2 Gal. Cordless/Corded Wet/Dry Vacuum

A:  The model is probably being discontinued. I am sorry but you know just as much as I do.

A:  Contact DeWalt

A:  I don't think this is a brush-less type.

A:  No, it is not brushless. I did an online search of specs and was able to confirm this.

A:  1st possible answer: it comes with a crevice tool and a 5" wide nozzle attachment - no brush. 2nd possible answer: Dewalt makes no claim anywhere that the motor is brushless, which, I think, would be a bragging point. I sure can't tell. I have had this vac over 2 years, and love it (as a DIYer). It is handy and capable.

A:  I have not been able to find any documented evidence stating that it is brushless.

A:  No, it is a brushed moter.

A:  yes if a lot of water

A:  Yes, the filter it paper.

A:  No. The filter is wet or dry.

A:  No, according to the manual, P 7, Save These Instructions for Future Use, Intended Use...1st Note, (2nd paragraph): "The vacuum is designed to perform as a wet/dry unit with no component changes equired when changing from wet to dry, or dry to wet pick up." ...(and 3rd paragraph): "It is recommended that the tank be emptied of any dry contents prior to being used for wet pick up to facilitate tank cleaning." My extra note: and to make cleaning the washable filter easier.

A:  That's an interesting question and I don't remember reading about using it wet but I would check with the manufacturer to be safe. However as for me, I would not run my vac without a filter either wet or dry. It protects the motor and components.

A:  No. 20 volt only.

A:  Yes, it runs on either 18 or 20 v batteries.

A:  No, this runs on the 20v lithium and the flex volt 20/60.

A:  Yes, as long as it is the DCV581H. It should do the 18 and 20 volt batteries.

A:  I believe so, although I don’t think it will last long. I think the dc9099 is a nicad battery and I’ve only used Lithium ion batteries. It works great with those.

A:  Not that i know of. Maybe google it

A:  The vacumn is not designed for bag operation. There is no vac bag accessory available

A:  Probably not. I have not seen this option and it would be difficult to contrive as made.

A:  Yes you can but it will not work the same as designed. For dust and debre . For water it most likely will not work

A:  2... a crevice tool, and a 5" wide nozzle attachment. I also use a brush from a (very) old, defunct B and D, so there must be some sort of standard to the 1 1/4" nozzel OD.

A:  Yes it has one but do not buy this one. You are going to struggle with that darn hose all the time. It does not stay on its holder. It’s a good vacuum but that hose just killed it for me. I would recommend the milwakee one it is all self contained and it works just as well.

A:  Yes this does have attachments. A wide mouth plastic piece for areas like doing car seats....but there is no brush part to it. It attaces to one end of the vacumn when not in use. There is also a long slim nozzle attachment. When not in use, it stores inside the top handle. Overall great veraitile vacumn.

A:  Yes it has a crack attachment and a carpet attachment.

A:  Yes - it has a nozzle attachment and a floor attachment.

A:  I don't think it does but I'm not a hundred percent sure best thing to do is Google it

A:  No, plugging in only runs vacumn, does not charge battery.

A:  I wish, but no.

A:  No I do not believe so , you have to use the dewalt battery charger

A:  No the vacuum motor is 20v DC when you plug it in power is converted to DC volts

A:  Don’t know, I run mine on a 5 A and it lasted longer then I needed it to run.

A:  I have xrp 18v and they get weaker as 20-30minutes. Light jobs only. Corded feature is nice

A:  I don’t know if you can say it will be a certain amount of time. Frankly, I didn’t even know that Dewalt made such a small battery. The smallest I have is 2 AH. I’m sure it will work, but I can’t imagine it will last that long. I use a 5AH battery, and that lasts a long time - at least 20 minutes of almost continuous use. So, it will depend on how you will use the vacuum. I have the vacuum that can run on AC too, so if need be, I can plug it in, while the battery charges. And with the right charger, that does not take too long.

A:  Maybe 5 minutes I use 5amp and get maybe 15 to 20

A:  Not sue about the run time on a 1.3 amp battery. In my bigger tools I only use 5 or 6 amp.

A:  All sizes fit. I always keep 5 amp hour battery in mine

A:  20 volt max 5ah

A:  All the above you mentioned will work. Not sure about the larger batterys 6, 8, 9, miliamp. But my guess is that the larger ones will. Nice little vac for small jobs. Don't expect it to have the same power as a shop vac. I use it for saw dust mainly.

A:  They all work with all cordless Dewalt tools. The 5AH will last longer but is adds more weight.

A:  Any of the 20 Amp and FlexVolt batteries will work with the "Max" tools. The greater the Amp Hours (AH) the longer the run time. Maximum run time would be obtained by using the FlexVolt batteries, they are available in 6,9,and 12AH. Or, you can use the cord if an outlet or generator is available and not worry about battery run time.
