Product Overview

The DEWALT 8 Gallon Wet/Dry Shop Vac (DXV08SA) delivers dependable suction power in a mid-sized, mobile form that’s perfect for cleaning up dust, debris, and spills around the garage, workshop, or jobsite. Whether you're vacuuming sawdust from a mitersaw station or clearing out water from a small leak, this vac balances capacity and maneuverability.

It features a 4.0 peak horsepower motor that provides strong performance for wet and dry applications, and the 8-gallon drum offers enough storage for medium cleanup jobs without becoming bulky. The vac includes rear wheels and swivel casters for easy movement, along with onboard storage to keep your hose and attachments organized.

This model is also designed with a built-in blower port, giving it extra utility for clearing leaves, blowing out workbenches, or pushing debris out of tight corners.

What It’s Good For

This vac is ideal for medium-sized cleanups—like garage floors, woodworking areas, or car detailing—where you need strong suction but don’t want to drag around a large tank. It's also great for contractors looking for a portable jobsite vacuum that still packs performance.

Compared to Other Models

Compared to larger 12–16 gallon vacs, the DXV08SA offers a lighter, more compact option that’s easier to store and transport. It still delivers strong suction for most non-industrial jobs and adds a blower function that many smaller models lack.
