DXV04T Portable 4 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum

[THIS](https://amzn.to/4kcUk1V) is the one I use. It is the corded Dewalt version, Ive never had much luck with the battery powered ones.

I have the first one and it doesn’t get used much. Kind of a joke. The newer handheld one with HEPA filter actually works pretty good

I agree- this one is great. I install cabinets and use it every day. The filter does get clogged, but I clean it at the end of every day. It’s really loud though. The first one you show isn’t great, but it’s ok. It’s wet/dry so good for draining a toilet or if you have a flood.

Have the first one. It’s supposed to be a wet/dry vac. First time I used it wet to empty out the contents at the bottom of a decorative water fountain it stopped pulling in anything at all. The “float ball” gets stuck in the up position and just shuts down all suction. Even after thoroughly drying it out, cleaning everything etc it no longer will work as a vacuum at all. Wasted money.

I use the Dewalt wet/dry vac because spills happen in weird places in the van. The small version, there’s 2

Miele Guard M1 Parquet. It’s part of the family. Also a big Dewalt shop vac for any house work or construction. Also part of the family.

I have a Dyson Animal (v6 I think) that has lasted me almost 10 years, although I had to replace the battery once. I mounted the charger in a small closet where I keep my cleaning stuff and it takes up next to no space, which I appreciate and I would have loved when I had a studio apartment. Mine is cordless/bagless and I wish I could cover larger spaces before having to empty the canister…but 3 cats create a lot of tumbleweeds. I like it, but for full disclosure I turn to my DeWalt Shop Vac for larger/heavy duty vacuuming.
