Review: Very well built - Really good product, does the job! Review: FINALLY HAVE THE BEST HOOVER. - Got this after several others broke, I should have just gotten this. I do work, home, campervan and car and there is never a problem, wet or dry. I suggest getting one of the kits from them for using as a normal floor hover if needed but it is so much better than the several dysons I broke. I have it over a year. ## Features - Gore HEPA wet/dry filter of DEWALT cordless vaccum traps 99.97% of dust at 0.3 microns - Dual clean-up modes of DEWALT 20V vacuum allow for debris removal with either the front utility nozzle or extendable rubber hose - 1/2 gallon tank with heavy-duty latch is easy to empty and clean - Washable filter; Tap or water rinse to clean - Heavy-duty rubber hose provides durability and flexibility.Large on/off switch that is easy to access with one hand.Runs off of 20V Max DEWALT battery packs for long run-time ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01CKIZ8BA | | Amperage | 20 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | 493,243 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 552 in Dust Collectors & Air Cleaners | | Brand | DEWALT | | Brand Name | DEWALT | | Capacity | 0.5 gallons | | Colour | Black | | Connectivity Technology | Cordless | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,498 Reviews | | Filter Type | HEPA Filter | | Filter type | HEPA Filter | | Finish Type | Matte Black and Yellow | | Form Factor | Handheld | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885911461108 | | Included Components | Battery, Charger | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Type Name | Vacuum | | Item Weight | 4.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | DEWALT | | Model Name | DCV517B | | Model Number | DCV517B | | Noise Level | 80 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 2 | | Number of Speeds | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | HEPA, Portable, Wet/Dry/Washable Filter | | Portable | Yes | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Power source | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Wet/dry cleaning | | Runtime | 40 minutes | | Special feature | HEPA , Portable, Wet/Dry/Washable Filter | | Style Name | Wet/Dry Vac Only | | Surface Recommendation | Hard Floor, Carpet | | Surface recommendation | Hard Floor, Carpet | | UPC | 885911461108 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 20 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DEWALT - **Filter type:** HEPA Filter - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Special feature:** HEPA, Portable, Wet/Dry/Washable Filter - **Surface recommendation:** Hard Floor, Carpet ## Images ![DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum, Wet/Dry, Portable, 1/2-Gallon, Tool Only (DCV517B), Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71A9XoSkGGL.jpg) ![DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum, Wet/Dry, Portable, 1/2-Gallon, Tool Only (DCV517B), Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oQWjibe5L.jpg) ![DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum, Wet/Dry, Portable, 1/2-Gallon, Tool Only (DCV517B), Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61U7ix2c5zL.jpg) ![DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum, Wet/Dry, Portable, 1/2-Gallon, Tool Only (DCV517B), Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EaObLKWEL.jpg) ![DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum, Wet/Dry, Portable, 1/2-Gallon, Tool Only (DCV517B), Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nXe9773iL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used as a wet vac?** A: Yes it can if you only have a small bit of water to get up **Q: Is this any good for picking up the fine wood ash in a fireplace ?** A: Definitely not **Q: Could this be plugged into a Dewalt Mitre saw to suck away the saw dust?** A: No **Q: Does this work as a fireplace ash vacuum** A: Definitely not. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well built *by L***M on 4 July 2025* Really good product, does the job! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY HAVE THE BEST HOOVER. *by L***Y on 21 September 2021* Got this after several others broke, I should have just gotten this.
