![]() I like other cordless vacs better for different reasons, but having the AC cord on this vac would definitely make a difference at times. If I were equipping a work truck or van, this would be the clear frontrunner. As a combined cordless/corded vacuum, it’s extremely versatile. But, it has some great features and delivers solid performance. It’s not really the best cordless vac, nor would I describe it as the best corded vac. You’re not going to attach a 20-foot 2-1/2″ hose to a 3 gallon vac, but you *could*, which can’t be said for most cordless vacs. But, there are usually some accessories, which isn’t often true for cordless vacs. Product selection is usually very slim, meaning different filters or hose attachments can be hard to find. ![]() At the top of my mind, small wet/dry shop vacuums can be equipped with different accessories. To be fair, there are some compromises compared to having separate cordless and corded vacs. With something like this, you don’t need two separate cordless and corded vacs of similar sizes. That’s what makes this Dewalt so versatile – it’s a cordless vacuum and its own corded backup. ![]() But, there are bound to be times when you’re going to need a compact and portable corded solution. It’s also one of the rare cordless vacs that can be powered via an AC outlet if or when needed.Ī cordless vac is obviously meant to be powered by a Li-ion cordless power tool battery. The vac has a 2 gallon capacity, washable HEPA filter, and it’s overall a very nice and tidy package. I felt it had decent power, runtime, capacity, and convenience. This Dewalt 20V Max cordless wet/dry vacuum, DCV581H, received a perfect score when I reviewed it a few years ago. There are lots of reasons pros need small portable vacs. I’m sure that you’ll always have a charged battery in your truck, right? No? It seems wasteful to have to allocate the space for both a cordless vac and a corded backup. Let’s say you’re a pro, service tech, or other field professional with the need for a cordless vacuum. Okay, so this means the techs have two vacs, either one in each truck, two in one truck, or maybe more – I didn’t ask. The techs ended up walking around with a small 1.5 or 3 gallon wet/dry shop vacuum, plugging it in where they could. When it came time to clean up, they realized that the M18 battery was never charged. I don’t know what the situation was with their gear selection for that day, but I didn’t see any Milwaukee tools leave the truck. There was one problem – one of the techs like to use Dewalt cordless power tools, and the other Milwaukee. It’s a great vac, perfect for small cleanups. I didn’t see it, but they described having a Milwaukee M18 cordless vac, probably the same one I bought last year, or maybe an older version of it. Talking to the techs, I knew they’d vacuum up around the vents when they’re all done and ready to reattach all of the grills, and anywhere else where there’s ejected dust or debris.
