Editorial Review:

Simply put, DeWalt's 15-gallon wet/dry vacuum is a high-performance unit. Its capacity is plenty for most tasks, and the heavy-duty rear wheels make this a solid, very mobile addition to any shop or job site. The two-stage, fan-cooled motor is designed to last. The dual-stage filter with Dacron prefilter is remarkably effective against drywall dust, capturing up to 99.8 percent. For such a large unit, we found the motor to be surprisingly quiet when in use. The top section is also easy to remove when it's time to empty the tank. The motor runs at 7.2 amps, producing airflow of 96 cfm and water lift of 85 inches. The vacuum comes with a 10-foot-long crushproof hose. --Jonathon Tudor

DeWalt Vacuum DW792: 1. Runs very quiet. My old Craftsman vacuum was very loud, even with hearing protectors on. This vacuum is no louder than the Hoover my wife uses to clean the rest of the house.

2. Motor runs a lot... more info

Not the last word in shop vacuums:

Well made and relatively quiet, this vacuum offers real advantages over your typical Sears screamer. But the volume of air (and therefore of dirt) that it sucks up, and its comparatively thinner hose, render it less effective. The tools (which must be purchased separately) are clunky and not well adapted to many kinds of cleanup. On the plus side, its well designed wheels and generous handle make it easy to move around and its exhaust is nicely distributed to avoid blowing up a dust storm behind you. The... more info

Very quiet, and it grows on you!:

I bought the DW792 in March, after I was standing by it for five minutes at a woodworking show without realizing that it was running! The vac really is very quiet, and the wheel/caster combo makes it easy to roll around (though the smaller from casters still catch on extension cords). I was a little skeptical of power at first - it just didn't seem to pull as effectively as my old Craftsman 16 gallon "screamer". I've since decided that I may have subconsciously associated the quieter motor with a lack of... more info
