DEWALT Dust Extractor, Automatic Filter Cleaning, 8-Gallon (DWV010)

Satisfait

I've used this for 2-1/2 years now, and really love it. It's great for lead dust and plaster dust -- a necessity in this old house -- and when it's not doing that, it can be used as a dust extractor in the shop. Positives: Very effective self-cleaning HEPA filter, rated for lead dust extraction. The self cleaning is just great with plaster dust, I haven't had a clog yet. It's light weight and easy to carry despite its bulk. Suction isn't the highest because of the HEPA filter -- you're going to get more from a standard shop vac, but this has a different purpose, no need for a cyclonic extractor or such when you use it for dust extraction. If you just want a shop vac, get a shop vac! The automatic run feature works well. And it's much less expensive than comparable units, or at least it was when I bought it. Negatives: Don't be fooled by the bargain price, the tool set is ridiculously expensive. It's still a bargain, but less so. DeWalt sells a wide range of hose adapters, which is a plus, but doesn't make it easy to figure out which ones you need -- why can't the industry standardize this stuff? It's really noisy, with a high pitched squeal -- use ear plugs, not strictly necessary but more comfortable. Stowing the hose -- it wraps around the unit and is secured by elastic -- is a bit of a bear, and I end up taking it off and carrying it separately. The hose accessories (but not the hose and the adapter that goes on it) are friction fit and tend to fall apart while you're using them. These quibbles aside, it does exactly what it should, and for that reason and its bargain price, I'm giving it five stars. A smarter person than I will find the right kind of adapter and use conventional shop vac accessories rather than buying their overpriced wand and brush kit.

I can use my Dewalt concrete grinder/finisher with this vac indoors! the quick connect works with all my tools and the none Dewalt tools I have usually work with the adapter that comes with this vac, the shudder feature (Dewalt calls it something, cant remember) for auto cleaning the filters is great, I can use this vac for hours and not have to open it up and clean the filters.

Great for getting the really fine dust and debris. Much better than a regular shop vac.

Je l'utilise comme dépoussiéreur dans mon atelier depuis environ 6 mois et il garde sa puissance égale tout le temps contrairement à mon ancien aspirateur d'atelier. Il est très efficace. Je le trouvais un peu cher mais je n'ai finalement pas de regret, il m'en donne pour mon argent.
