Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I want to start this review by saying I am a HUGE fan of DeWalt tools. I own many of their corded and cordless tools and have had great success with all of them, until I purchased this unit. Since I have a full line of 20V tools, this vac was a no brainer for me to purchase. The vac does work well, and is a great size for carrying around. There are 2 major issues that are making me hate it though: - The exhaust port is located on the same side where the suction hose comes out. The hose is not very long, so the natural way to use the vac has you blowing exhaust directly at your work area. The junk that you want to suck up can get blown around the room. - Because of the exhaust issue, you turn the vac around and stretch the hose around the machine. Kind of annoying but not a huge deal. UNITL.... the hose breaks. The corrugated hose came unattached from the plastic end that snaps into the body of the vacuum, due to pulling on it. Once that piece breaks, good luck getting it back in permanently. Due to these issues listed above, I would not buy this vac again, nor would I recommend it. The design is just plain stupid, and I cannot believe DeWalt let something like that go to market.
