Love the Vac. Really like it. Easy to empty, great suction (velosity and suction) but really loud. I bought this for small project cleanup and househould touchup.
This this great.I have a ton of DeWalt items and this litle baby comes with another charger and battery. I use it on my car, home (vents, baseboards, spills, etc), everywhere.good stuff. Plug it in and you are on your way to a clean day.last about 45 minutes without shuting it off.
batteries last long (at least compared to a Craftsman vac I had)Here's what I don't like about it:1. 4. All of my cordless tools are deWalt, so it's nice being able to share batteries.I've been using it for about 1 year.Here's what I like about it:1. why the heck they didn't include a crevice adapter is a mystery.5. easy to clean3. It's the best out there but that's only because the other ones just aren't that good. I've even tried looking for another brand, in the hopes I could use it on the DeWalt.2.
strong suction2. no crevice tool, nor is it an option. I would have given it an 90 out of 100 (A-) with a crevice tool but I'm giving it a 74 without it (C). Without the crevice tool I've been unable to clean out things like elevator tracks.3.
feet takes about 15 minutes, leaving no more dust or bird feathers or hair on the ground or in the air, and no cobwebs in the corners or crumbs under chairs either. It is *not* a large or heavy duty vac and should not be confused with such appliances, but it's by far the most powerful and capable battery-powered hand vac I've ever tried. A fully charged battery lasts 25 minutes before it even starts to slow down. And it's super not having to fight with a cord, too.Another huge plus over many other battery-powered tools is that the DC515K comes with DeWalt's wonderful smart charger, which in my view is essential for rechargeable convenience.
Speaking of which, it could actually come with its own attachments, since the standard universal slip-on ones fit fine. It could also be sold without the battery and charger for people like me that already have plenty of those from other DeWalt 18V purchases. But these DeWalt 18V tools go forever with the charger that always turns out a tip-top conditioned battery with no "memory" problems or overheat problems, and the battery's ready to go in a couple of hours.In a perfect world, the DC515K could lose the high pitched whine, could be lighter, and could come with a shoulder strap for those like me who use it with attachments. This little DC515K vac has unbelievable suction, and to me is ideal for light dust and debris cleanup from hard surfaces and very small rugs, like in the bath. Cleaning up all the visible detritus in 1200 sq. Its exhaust is totally clean, which alone makes this SO much better than raising all that dust with a broom and dust pan. Emptying the bagless debris catcher and cleaning the round filter, while easy enough, always gets a little of that fine vacuum dust on my hands, and so might be better engineered.
I love my drill, mini circular-saw, and the flashlight, too.Despite the possibility of a few minor improvements, I recommend this little dynamo most highly to those who look around their home and wish for an easy way to rapidly and neatly suck up all that dust and debris that collects on their hard surfaces.Lastly, I guess it's OK to tell you that I found it for a good bit less with free shipping by googling DC515K. I use it with either my old Dirt Devil corded hand-vac's attachments or my Hoover Wind Tunnel upright's wands and attachments to go around my hard floored living areas daily, and to dust above floors weekly. It's actually almost perfect, with the biggest exception being its high-pitched whine that is especially irritating to my ear, though it is bearable. But thanks to Amazon for being there for us and usually having the lowest price. So many other makers tell you to only leave the battery plugged in for 20 hours or some other silly thing which makes their tool impossible to manage and ruins the batteries fast for folks like me with other things to remember.
The only problem I've been having is the battery tends to pop off in the middle of vacuuming. I love my vacuum. For a handheld model, I can't believe how powerful it is. I have to use some force to put it back in so it will stay. It picks everything up.
