Best Small Square Cube Style Wet Dry Shop Vac
Review of the Dewalt DXV04T Portable Vacuum
We were recently on the hunt for the best small, square or rectangular cube style wet / dry shop vacuum. We have had the big shop vacs that roll around on wheels. Those are great for many applications but we were looking for a shop vacuum that was smaller, more portable, and that would take less room to store. The Dewalt DXV04T checked all of those boxes for us, and more! As an added bonus, this small Dewalt vac can be easily stored on a shelf so you are not taking up valuable floor space in your garage or shop. At the time of writing this article, the vac was on sale on Amazon and, although a little pricier than some of the off brand, less powerful shop vacs, is worth every penny. CLICK HERE to see what the current price is for the DXV04T
Ok, so what makes the DeWalt cube vac the best small wet dry shop vacuum? For us it was the size vs power ratio. This shop vac has a 5 HP peak power, which is huge for this size vac! We wanted a portable vacuum for cleaning the cars, cleaning the shop / garage, vacuum up wet spills, and a vacuum for sucking out / clearing the air conditioner PVC condensation pipe. Most other vacuums of this size, which can be a little cheaper, come with much less power with many consumer complaints about being too weak to vacuum a car efficiently. The size of this square cube style Dewalt vacuum is great as it stores easily on a shelf.
Features that also attracted us to the Dewalt DXV04T included the 20′ power cord, 7′ hose, included attachments, and the fact that the vac doubles as a blower! Integrated accessory and cord storage make this vac so easy to pack up and throw up on a shelf. The NAME = DEWALT… I have always been a big fan of Dewalt tools and am consistently impressed with their quality. This vac is no exception. The DeWalt DXV04T shop vacuum definitely lives up to the name. CLICK HERE to view all of the features this wet dry vacuum offers.
