I bought this vacuum in January 2020 @ Costco. I love it, but use it once in a while for wet cleanup and the screws on the inside started to rust out a couple months ago...stainless steel without stainless steel screws?
I complained to Costco about the rust, they said called DeWalt - Dewalt was willing to replace and I said no, but they had the same model constructed of plastic, which they shipped to me at no cost...but the screws still got rusty which I will eventually replace with stainless steel screws...
Outstanding review!!! As a woman hardly versed in such equipment and in desperate need of a shop vac, this review solidifies my choice of this DeWalt wet/dry vac! Thank you!
“That’s a lot of sucking!” 😂🤣 Great job and you made me laugh. I almost bought this at Costco today, but I think I’m going to splurge and upgrade to one with a poly tank and a higher powered motor. You do get what you pay for, and every single time I buy one of these in this price range it isn’t long before I regret it. Plus, it’s made in China and I try to avoid that these days.
Awesome, AWESOME review! Thanks for this. I purchased this yesterday on a whim as I just bought a house and needed one. I went in blind and was a bit concerned I was going to get a crappy vac. After watching this, I think it’s safe to say this is a very decent unit for the price. Thanks again.
Just today I was using it to empty a trough of water and the bottom was leaking from some interior rust spots. If it were you would you try to go through dewalt or back to Costco? I love the way it rolls and looks but now I have a leaking vac.
This is one excellent and very comprehensive demo/analytic video. You get a very good idea of exactly what you're buying if you watch this video first.
I purchased this exact shop from Costco about 6 months ago and was just about to unbox it. After seeing your video I know I made the right choice. Aaron, I found your unboxing review entertaining and informative. "It allows you to turn your sucker into a blower, now that in any other industry you'll need to leave a tip for." 😆Just subscribed.
Thanks for the informative video, Aaron. We appreciate your honest approach and your humor on this review! Do you have any experience with connecting this to any of your DeWalt power tools? If so, what adapters, if any did you have to use? Did you happen use the Universal Adaptor, DWV9190? Thanks again, you just gained another subscriber! Cheers
Thanks for the sub. Yes, I use it with my Delta table saw, Bosch router table and Ridgid miter saw. All coupling is done via two adapters: Powertec Dust Flex Cuff: amzn.to/30jGzII WORKSHOP Wet/Dry Vacs Wet Dry Vacuum Adapter: amzn.to/34yA0Er As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases
My ONLY complaint about this vacuum is the absurdly short power cord. Also, you should mention that your peak amperage draw is under a "no-load" condition, and probably with a brand new filter. Your measurement will change with different accessory attachments and the level of filter or bag occlusion. Sucking water out of your bucket will give a more practical measure of peak power draw. Since humans perceive sound intensity on a (approximate) logarithmic scale, I don't see the point of converting to Pascals for purposes of noise comparison. Kind of silly, I think.
Amazon list the CFM for this vac at about 86. That's a terrible number. I contacted the Dust Deputy company and asked them what CFM they recommended to use with the Dust Deputy. (BTW: They said to ignore the horse power rating as it is a meaningless figure.) The company said to use a vac with at least 150 CFM with the Dust Deputy. They suggested that the CFM number should be the number to use when comparing vacuums.
Alright dude you are a great reviewer, a profound thanks. Can you please continue to review shop vacs and also please include water lift. The bucket test is great but water lift test gives us auto detailers a better idea of what kind of suction power we're gonna get at the tip of the nozzle (like it shows us the pull if you get me) this is very important for tough jobs like pet hair, sand or extreme dirt removal. A special thanks for the HP explanation, I agree 100% this why the egg shaped ridgid vac is often reviewed as the best auto detailing vac by many because even tho is fake propaganda "5hp" only vs. The "6.5hp" (less "HP") it still provides a slightly more powerful suction, of course all these great reviews come from reviewers that test this things outta of the box which is very misleading to people that are planning to use daily on a commercial setting. Main problem with the egg shaped ridgid vac is that it is too small and as a result the filter gets clogged very fast resulting in less suction (see the dilema) oooh not to mention that if you suction water and your filter gets wet it's game over. Removing the filter or improving the filter are not viable options for auto detailers bc it takes too much time and no matter how good or organized you are it is freaking impossible to keep the filter dry/clean in this tiny shit vacs (design flaw) or (maybe they designed it on purpose so you will spend a ton of money on filter replacement). This is why I appreciate your time so much, we need a vacuum that is big enough and doesn't loose suction once you start using it for real. Like it needs to be designed for the filter to stay clean/dry for at least a day and we need freaking suction not freaking lies about HP CFM blah blah blah, like real statistics on real environment (not controlled environment fake advertising BS). Ridgid/Home Depot has cheated us out of our money with their shit filter destroying vacuums with tiny motors from home depot for way to long. WE SHALL START... THE VACUUM WARS
Great video. Just bought it for $79.99 [$99.99-$20] at Costco. Given current inflation, not too bad. I feel confident about using it after watching this. Thnx!
Good job using the dBA scale. The dBA scale is a “human hearing” weighted scale and the best for measuring perceived and dangerous sound pressure levels.
Great review! I've had several Shop-Vac models over the years and their ONLY redeeming quality is the "pump-out" feature (QPV/ QULP series) with garden hose attachment which has served me well for flooded basements and such. Are there any other shop vac brands that have this feature WITHOUT having to buy an external and powered add-on? Other than a higher drum capacity, this is the only lacking criteria I can think of for the perfect shop vac. Not sure if it's patented but with that company now defunct, would the pump-out design (or similar) be deployable to the market? Thanks again for the great review... it's a year later and I see Costco lists the same model but for $10 more. Seriously thinking about grabbing one.
Thank you for this review. My husband just purchased this for me for mother's day and I am so excited to have it. I will be purchasing the Ridgid Car Detailing Kit for certain. Keep up the great reviews.
Does anyone know of a spigot to replace the extraction cap at the bottom? I'm finding it messy and difficult to empty the unit when it's full of dirty water, the dirty water splashes out as soon as you remove the cap to empty the unit. I think a spigot would be much better but I can't find anything online like it
It's a shop vac, we expect it to be loud! Very good though. Crush resistant is WHY it is flexible. It keeps it from staying regid and creating a hole when crushed. Also I am a bIg fan of Home Depot. Have never had the majority of your problems\
I haven't always disliked Home Depot. When I lived in Phoenix they were my go-to. However, the Seattle location closest to my house is a disorganized mess staffed by dangerously misinformed mouth-breathers. I hate it.
nice machine but i sure love my big bertha Shop-Vac 16 gallons 6.0hp 60.5 L with a 24 foot hose (3 hose endto end) i love it i do use a bag and cartridge filter makes suction and air flow is nice .
Aaron: Thanks for this review. The Stanley wet/dry vac has a foam filter for wet pickup. It seems the DeWalt does not have a filter for wet pickup. Do you find the foam filter to be unnecessary?
Costco no longer seems to show this model (I asked an associate and he said they don’t believe they’ll be getting any more). They now have the DXV08SA (smaller 8 gallon variety) for $99.99 😢
In your video, you remind people to remove the filter before sucking up liquids. I have this DeWalt vacuum, and the manual says that "The cartridge filter must be positioned over the filter cage while vacuuming liquids." Page 9 of the manual. Which filter is this? The manual calls the dry vacuum filter the "Clean Connect filter". Are these two filters one and the same? Please advise? Thanks for your help.
You said remove the filter for wet use, the book says it has to to be on to suck up liquids, then dry it for at least 24hours. Makes it sound like if its not on you could damage the motor. Being paper not sure how it would stop liquid. I assume you had no issues sucking up the water with no filter?
You gave an exceptional review. I was thinking about getting this just so I can vacuum up pet hair. Because you took the review to a level of layman's terms coupled w/great examples - I'm definitely buying it now.
Had to return it back to Costco. Vacuum hose would not clip onto the shop vac. Poor design. When I returned it, Costco guy said he knew exactly what I was talking about and said it’s a known issue.
Unlock and lock filter not working; I turn to unlock position, but hard to pull out filter; finally I managed to pull out the filter but still not able to put back the knob.
Great review! Very clear and concise, I could only add that some viewers are very interested in quality “Made in America” not sure if they allow you to give those details, but it is often Very difficult to determine when searching for various products. Thank You again for an excellent thorough review! Dan Mills
was about to ask the same, it the manual it says use the Clean Connect filter for wet and dry but clean it and dry it after each use especially if you want to dry vacuum with it after. I haven't unpack it and use it yet but would be interested to know whether you tried it yourself ? thanks
just bought this unit to replace my ridgid 16 gallon, i do auto detailing and having a small vac is way more ideal i like that i can use my ridgid hoses with this new vac
Does the debris such as saw dust or fine powder like sanded joint compound get blown out? Would the bag prevent this issue and would buying a better filter also help in keeping the debris in the can/bag where it belongs.
Very nice review! I have had mine sitting in a box for almost a year. Got it going a couple week back and have been very impressed with it.Now seeing all of your review I am even more pleased waiting to get this one instead of the porter cable version.
Honestly that rating issue sounds an awful lot like the problem speakers and stereo systems have. Unless it's a very reputable brand. (And PC Power supplies).
I have a brand new standard white DeWalt filter in the box sitting right next to me and the white filter can be used wet or dry. So you do not need to remove the white filter when sucking up liquids. It is even washable. It is on the box in nice readable letters.
Looked at this today, does the blow blow out while it's sucking? Got a similar vacuum and it's so annoying that while your sucking up, the "blower" function is causing a whirlwind behind it ..
Wow, you can find associates at your local Home Depot? Amazing. I think that there's only one that works at any of the 3 stores I stop by. I could use a bull horn and not get any service. If I'm lucky to find one they have little-to-no real knowledge of the section they work in. Huck Fome Depot
Thanks for the great video. I need help though - we used it in the cafe to suck dirty mop water off the floor and didn't take the filter out. Is it ruined? Or can it be cleaned, rather than replaced? Thanks!

DeWalt does not make this Wet Vac. It's made by Alton. I hear there is no customer support or parts for this product or place to register a warranty.

This is currently on sale at Costco for $69.99 (May, 2020). Excellent deal.
Outstanding review!!! As a woman hardly versed in such equipment and in desperate need of a shop vac, this review solidifies my choice of this DeWalt wet/dry vac! Thank you!
It works great, good luck
“That’s a lot of sucking!” 😂🤣
Great job and you made me laugh. I almost bought this at Costco today, but I think I’m going to splurge and upgrade to one with a poly tank and a higher powered motor. You do get what you pay for, and every single time I buy one of these in this price range it isn’t long before I regret it. Plus, it’s made in China and I try to avoid that these days.
Lol
Awesome, AWESOME review! Thanks for this. I purchased this yesterday on a whim as I just bought a house and needed one. I went in blind and was a bit concerned I was going to get a crappy vac. After watching this, I think it’s safe to say this is a very decent unit for the price. Thanks again.
Just today I was using it to empty a trough of water and the bottom was leaking from some interior rust spots. If it were you would you try to go through dewalt or back to Costco? I love the way it rolls and looks but now I have a leaking vac.
Costco takes back anything and everything and returns full price.
This is one excellent and very comprehensive demo/analytic video. You get a very good idea of exactly what you're buying if you watch this video first.
11:22 I see what you did there. Cheeky! ;-)

ig ot this vacuum and its LOUD. significantly louder then even my dysons. have to wear ear protection
Useless for wet vacuuming just keeps cutting out
The manual says leave filter on to suck up water or it will damage motor but you state remove filter to suck up water....which one is it?
Follow Dewalt instructions when you clean your "pool".....
Take it out
OK I’m done shopping thank you think I’ll go to spark up a J
1:10 you don't gotta tell me twice! 💨🔥 Awesome review!
That detail hose kit from ridged is actually really nice. The hose is softer and doesn’t scratch up interior panels.
Yup, it’s great
Thanks for the informative video, Aaron. We appreciate your honest approach and your humor on this review! Do you have any experience with connecting this to any of your DeWalt power tools?

Get an extension cord ffs 🤦
Great vid! Nicely done. I’m left wondering why you don’t use the bag.
Just bought on sale for 60!
Same. Guess what ? It's not made by DeWalt.
Alton Industries, not DeWalt, is the manufacturer of DeWalt shop vacuums.
Uses a Milwaukee tool to mount the feet?
Shame on you lol.
Awesome video, thanks! It has a filter bag too. When do I use the filter bag ?

@@Toneehulk504 good to know. Was just checking this online at Costco.
thanks for the video
“ The few dollars that trickle in very motivating” Really? A lot of dollars are very motivating 🤣🙄
Why didn't he include the filter bag. Is it only to be used for dry vacuuming? Can it be used for wet vacuuming?

Sounds like something you'd need to fabricate. You could drill a hole in the middle of the existing cap and place a bulkhead fitting in there.
Great review ... was hoping to see the proper installation and usage of the bag - Thank you
Yes! Can the bag be used for both wet vacuuming or dry vacuuming?
1-1/4 FITS ON 1-7/8?
the ones sold in the canadian costco dont have a blower option :( i guess in canada we only suck, no blowing for us.
Costco should pay you a commission. I Just one today after watching your video.
lol, yeah, I'll probably be waiting a long time for that check.
Great review bought one today for $89.
Thank you. Especially liked the examples. Only thing I remain confused on and would like to see is when to use filter verses bag. Good job.
I guess the truth of the matter is that I've never used them myself, so I didn't think to include them.
Use the bag for dry wall dust or ashes.
That’s why I like the one from Home Depot. Metal will RUST sucks to be you . I will keep mine from HOME DEPOT .
noted
Are these still available? Seem to be sold out everywhere. Hoping to snag one before it’s to late!

I love you, immense passion
is the 10 gallon HEPA dewalt vacuum better than this?
Depends on what you're doing with it
Thanks for the review! Snagged one today for 69.99
Nice, had a buddy text me that they were on sale. Awesome price.
Bought 1 today at Costco= $80. on sale from $100.
Me too. $80, will use it tomorrow and see how it works. Ive been using a 1/4 hp craftsman, so this is hopefully a good upgrade
I have a small patio with artificial grass. It accumulates tons of needles from the trees. Would this be a ideal vacuum for my needs?
With the flooring attachment, I’d imagine it would work well
nice machine but i sure love my big bertha Shop-Vac 16 gallons 6.0hp 60.5 L with a 24 foot hose (3 hose endto end) i love it i do use a bag and cartridge filter makes suction and air flow is nice .
2022 update. The vacuum now costs $109 at Costco
2023 Nov, just picked one up at Costco for $69.98. No inflation here.
11:58 😳
Aaron: Thanks for this review. The Stanley wet/dry vac has a foam filter for wet pickup. It seems the DeWalt does not have a filter for wet pickup. Do you find the foam filter to be unnecessary?
I have used other wet dry vacs without the foam filter, if fact in some situations I think the filter may be detrimental.
Costco no longer seems to show this model (I asked an associate and he said they don’t believe they’ll be getting any more). They now have the DXV08SA (smaller 8 gallon variety) for $99.99 😢
The HD version is 10G vs 8G at Costco
Dewalt does not cover this product because they say the dxv10s(A) is not dewalt product, unlike the dxv10s, The sa is a fake.
In your video, you remind people to remove the filter before sucking up liquids. I have this DeWalt vacuum, and the manual says that "The cartridge filter must be positioned over the filter cage while vacuuming liquids." Page 9 of the manual. Which filter is this?

I was wondering this also. The manual says to use a filter for wet use.
If you're sucking up like a cup of water it's fine if you let it dry but I'd just take it out for water
You gave an exceptional review. I was thinking about getting this just so I can vacuum up pet hair. Because you took the review to a level of layman's terms coupled w/great examples - I'm definitely buying it now.
Right on. Glad it helped.
It would be an overkill, and shop vac noise level are very high compared to regular canister vacs.
Had to return it back to Costco. Vacuum hose would not clip onto the shop vac. Poor design. When I returned it, Costco guy said he knew exactly what I was talking about and said it’s a known issue.
I can't seem to find the accessories storage bag that's on your vac, where did you get it?
Was included with the vac
So whats the bag for ? You showed the bag ? But whats the use for it ? Inquiring minds would like to know ?
The one at Home Depot is a 10 gallon.
got this in 2023. the whole pouch system is gone. not just the pouch but the slot to insert said pouch is removed entirely from the clamp
Para aspirar agua con esa, unicamente tengo que quitar la bolsa de polvo y el filtro, cierto?
Unlock and lock filter not working; I turn to unlock position, but hard to pull out filter; finally I managed to pull out the filter but still not able to put back the knob.
Hi I have this vacuum and want to use it as an extractor. Anytime I use this for wet use all I need to do is remove the filter? let me know. Thanks
Where you able to use the filter bag? Great review.
I have not, saving it for when I've got a bunch of something really dusty
Great review! Very clear and concise, I could only add that some viewers are very interested in quality “Made in America” not sure if they allow you to give those details, but it is often Very difficult to determine when searching for various products. Thank You again for an excellent thorough review! Dan Mills
I need a new house vaccume, would this be more for industrial work or would this be a good choice for home use instead of a traditional home vaccume
They made it smaller. It’s now only 8-Gallon. Boooooo
I saw that. Though I was in a Canadian Costco a few months ago and they were still selling the 10G version.
Got one for $65 on a sale at Costco!
Instructions say to leave the filter on then you say to take it off for wet use. I’m confused
was about to ask the same, it the manual it says use the Clean Connect filter for wet and dry but clean it and dry it after each use especially if you want to dry vacuum with it after.
I haven't unpack it and use it yet but would be interested to know whether you tried it yourself ? thanks
I'd take it out for wet, sure you *can* use it for wet but it usually just turns into a pile of slop
Hit that jay 😂 😝🤣💨💨
just bought this unit to replace my ridgid 16 gallon, i do auto detailing and having a small vac is way more ideal i like that i can use my ridgid hoses with this new vac
It does not have a sponge filter and I have not found a way to connect anything to the outlet on the bottom so I can do continuous water vacuuming.
Does the debris such as saw dust or fine powder like sanded joint compound get blown out? Would the bag prevent this issue and would buying a better filter also help in keeping the debris in the can/bag where it belongs.
DeWalt sells hepa filters for this unit if you really want to keep the dust contained.
Very nice review! I have had mine sitting in a box for almost a year. Got it going a couple week back and have been very impressed with it.Now seeing all of your review I am even more pleased waiting to get this one instead of the porter cable version.
Didn't even show the installation for the dust bag
Honestly that rating issue sounds an awful lot like the problem speakers and stereo systems have. Unless it's a very reputable brand. (And PC Power supplies).
It looks like the DXV10SA at Costco has a 1 7/8” diameter hose while the DXVSA at HD is a 2.5” hose.
Just seen this today might get it now because of this review . Got a 1k shop card to Costco because we got solar through them so why not lol
Question. Does the filter need to be put in with the bag? Or has to be separated?
You didn’t show how to empty the vac of dust
People will find anything to nitpick
I have a brand new standard white DeWalt filter in the box sitting right next to me and the white filter can be used wet or dry. So you do not need to remove the white filter when sucking up liquids. It is even washable. It is on the box in nice readable letters.

Thanks so much for your thorough investigation and instruction. Sorry you don't have a Home Depot like St George, Utah their advice is very compent
When I lived in AZ Home Depots were fine. I think it's regional.
COSTCO is always the best price
I wish you would have gone over the paper bags this comes with. I’m using the vac with a bag and I find the suction, well….sucks!
I don't use the paper bags.
Mine died after 8 months.
Did you give it a funeral?
Costco only has the 8 gal now
Interesting. I was eyeballing the one here in Canada and it's a 10G for 119 CAD. I think I'm gonna grab it.
When would the bag be used?
Extra dusty jobs?
Are you able to turn this vacuum into an extractor?
Thanks for the great video. I need help though - we used it in the cafe to suck dirty mop water off the floor and didn't take the filter out. Is it ruined? Or can it be cleaned, rather than replaced? Thanks!
Rinse it off, let it dry and put it back in. Don't overthink it.
