The DXV12P is DEWALT's 12-gallon wet/dry shop vacuum built for sustained jobsite and workshop cleanup. The 5.5 peak HP motor delivers strong suction, and the 12-gallon poly tank reduces how often the drum needs emptying. Large rear wheels and a handle make the unit easy to maneuver even when full. A built-in 20-foot power cord and onboard accessory bag keep the jobsite organized. The fine-dust cartridge filter handles dry particles and wet pickup. The blower port clears loose debris quickly. Carries DEWALT's 3-year limited tool warranty.
How does the DXV12P compare to the 9-gallon DXV09P?
The DXV12P adds 3 gallons of capacity, bumps the motor to 5.5 peak HP, and comes with a longer 20-foot cord versus the DXV09P's 10-foot cord. The larger rear wheels also make it easier to tow across uneven surfaces.
Can the DXV12P pick up large debris like sawdust and wood chips?
Yes. The 12-gallon capacity handles large dry pickup tasks. The hose and attachments are sized for typical workshop debris.
Is there a quieter version of the DXV12P?
Yes. The DXV12P-QT is the STEALTHSONIC version of this vacuum, designed to operate at a maximum of 65 dB versus the standard DXV12P's 80 dB.
What is the hose diameter on the DXV12P?
The DXV12P uses a 2.5-inch diameter hose, which is wider than the 1-7/8 inch hoses on the smaller 6 and 9 gallon models, allowing faster pickup of larger debris.
Does the DXV12P work as a blower?
Yes. The DXV12P includes a blower port to reverse airflow for clearing sawdust, leaves, and light debris from work surfaces.
