Pros & Cons
Pros
The self-cleaning function is a little distracting at first when it sounds like the machine is burping. The thump noise you hear is normal so don't fret. The canister bags make for quick and clean emptying.
It is extremely well made and durable. I'm not in my shop everyday so the current bag is lasting me a long time. Worth every penny.
Although it is louder than my bench sander or table saw, it has more suction than the shopvap it replaces. When you compare the price of this hepa vs other hepa vacuums with the same features this is still a great deal.
Easy to install to our mitre saw. Auto turn-on feature works well too with my miter saw, although makes the breaker trip sometimes in the garage. There is a switch to manually turn on the vacuum, but a remote or something would be nice.
Comes with a quick connect end that snaps onto the adapters or saws with a twist. The hose is very convenient. The plug in that turns it on as needed works great after some pretty heavy use with a belt sander for a few months.
Cons
Low suction power and the hose is constantly clogging. That same hose (even without the broken piece) clogs constantly! If there is still suction but reduced and you don't notice, the vacuum gets hot.
Highlights
Quality
It is extremely well made and durable.
Very happy with the suction as well as the tool plugin auto on/off feature.
My old shopvac was very messy and poor suction shortly after cleaning it each time.
Well, the vacuum and both of my dewalt saws are rated at 15 amps, which means that i constantly trip breakers when i plug the s... Read More
Price
I also recommend the accessory kit for it, expensive but very nice.
These quibbles aside, it does exactly what it should, and for that reason and its bargain price, i'm giving it five stars.
I did not purchase from amazon because i found it for $100 less from one of the big box stores.
Negatives: don't be fooled by the bargain price, the tool set is ridiculously expensive.
Competitiveness
Personally, i find that the suction is just as good, or even better, than the comparable sized shop vacs.
Suction is better than any shop-vac, rigid, or craftsman vacuum that i have ever owned.
I wish dewalt sold adapters or at least had a web page that listed which adapters from other companies would work.
And it's much less expensive than comparable units, or at least it was when i bought it.

Works well but a big problem with the adapter

The biggest problem is the adapter to connect the hose from the duct collector to the saw

I tried an adapter from amazon but it was a dud and didnt fit at all even though the dimensions advertised seemed to be compatible

I ended up just using duct tape to make the connection but it is a nuisance peeling off the tape every time i need the dust collector for another purpose
