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

A:  We would have to have more info. Is the receptacle you plugged into working? Is your battery charged? Some vacs have a safety switch that shuts it off if you are sucking up water and it gets full. Some turn off if the filter gets to plugged. There are lots of "could be" problems. Has it ever worked? Is this new right out of the box? If so, I would take it back and just get a new one!

A:  Did you try both battery and cord?

A:  N/a

A:  Awesome I love this thing

A:  If you are trying to use it cordless (without plugging it in) then the battery made be low/dead. If it doesn't turn-on with the switch by battery or cord then the product is malfunctioning. You'll need to replace it. I use mine very often, both corded and cordless.

A:  There’s a narrow tip in the handle but no brush

A:  There is a crevice nozzle contained within the top handle assembly, works well, nice design.

A:  I'm pretty sure you can buy other tips separate, I love the vacuum itself except the fact that decide clip that holds the vacuum together has broken off every time I've exchanged about 5 vacuums

A:  The hose tip is 1 1/4" diameter and works with many vacuum tools. The included tools are rectangular nozzle (5"x1") and a crevice tool. The vacuum works great for small volume pickup in places like the kitchen and small messes in my shop. However, I do not think it would be adequate for using wand extensions with a full size floor tool. It does not move enough volume for that job.

A:  There is a narrow nozzle tip for crevices. This is storage mounted in and part of the carrying handle. There is also a wide attachment ( non brush) that is storage mounted on one end of the unit.

A:  I would contact Dewalt to obtain exact information concerning the motor. I use 18volt and 20 volt batteries for mine. The older 18 volt will require the adapter. I purchased mine for small shop use, but mainly to vacuum my interior. The blower part works great to dry off my Harley. I use the electrical cord to get more power when needed

A:  I think so

A:  not sure but works well on the battery i would recommend it.

A:  Yes it has no brushes

A:  I seriously doubt it. Whenever DeWalt makes anything brushless it’s plastered all around the tool. So my guess is no

A:  DCV5801H

A:  DCV5801H is the replacement filter ( for vacuum models DCV580 & DVC581H )

A:  DCV5801H

A:  The model number of the filter is DCV5801H.

A:  DCV5801H is the PN for the replacement filter per Dewalt.com

A:  DCV5801H- Home Depot may or may not have them in stock. I ordered mine thru Home Depot. They had them ready in 2 days. They clean easy using the vacuums own air.

A:  Yes. Both battery and corded

A:  A regular 110 outlet

A:  Yes, that or run off of a 20v power pack.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, runs on both household A/C or 1 rechargable battery

A:  I can’t say for sure but I personally wouldn’t. I have a few different vacuums, from the one above to large shop vacs and every time any grease accumulates inside the tubing or filter, it stops working properly and eventually stops all together. Kinda like arteries clogged with fat.

A:  No, this vacuum is not intrinsically safe.

A:  I don’t think I would. Even though the filter is washable, I’m not sure if it would hold up well. And I don’t think it can be rated for “intrinsically safe” either, at least with my limited knowledge of what that means.

A:  I wouldn't count on it sucking up oil. Good for small debris.

A:  I doubt this would work as the filter will clog very fast and you will lose your suction. I use mine for ash and have a sock over the filter and it still clogs pretty fast and that is with dry particles.

A:  For it’s size it has good power, it’s a small vacuum and has a 1” hose. Can’t really compare with a 4 gallon shop vacuum with a 2 1/2” or 3” hose.

A:  It's a light duty portable shop vac. Great for cleaning up light shop dust or cleaning HVAC and especially for vacuuming vehicle interiors. I do know with the vac plugged in it seems to have more power!

A:  Not really it's good for cleaning up sawdust small things but not near as powerful as my larger Ridgid very handy the carry around

A:  The delivery was so quick

A:  It is a tipical vac. with a lot of power. I use it to vac cat litter.

A:  A round reusable filter that comes with it. Easy to clean and reuse, should last for years.

A:  DCV5801H

A:  Not really sure just Google it

A:  I have one of these and use it primarily for dirt, sawdust etc. I don't think it was designed for liquids. Other than that it is a great vacuum.

A:  Yes it will, just make sure you remove filter and either have a fully charged battery or use the power cord to an outlet for max performance.

A:  Yes I use the vac.to remove water from toilets before changing them out.

A:  I honestly don't know. I utilize my vacuum during make readies 4 sawdust which gets wet sometimes. It's a great little vacuum when you keep the filter clean after a couple of uses which is a good practice for any wet dry vac.

A:  I don't think it will do the job. I question the idea of using any vacuum to do that job.

A:  No

A:  Unfortunately the vacuum does not charge the battery while it is plugged in

A:  No battery will not charge and personally I would not buy this vacuum. I have it and the hose is so annoying. It falls right off evertime it does not stay stationary. Vacuum works good but the problem is the hose very bad design.

A:  No. This will run on AC, but it will not charge the battery. It’s not a battery charger

A:  It will not charge while plugged in. This will take both kind of batteries The old 18 V and the new 20 V.

A:  No it will not charge while plugged in.

A:  You will need to remove the battery and connect the battery to a Dewalt charger. The vacuum is not built with a internal charger. My advise is to refer to your owners manual.

A:  No
