DEWALT DXV05P-QTA Stealthsonic 5-Gallon Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum, 4 Peak HP

Cleaning up sawdust in the workshop, crumbs in a vehicle, or a small liquid spill calls for a vacuum that can handle more than one kind of mess. The DEWALT Stealthsonic DXV05P-QTA is a corded wet/dry shop vacuum with a 5-gallon capacity, a 4 Peak HP motor, and a 7-foot hose for home, garage, workshop, and jobsite cleanup.

Its stated noise level is below 65 dB, and the canister-style design has four wheels for moving it between work areas. What makes a compact shop vacuum useful across different cleanup tasks? Here, wet/dry capability and a varied accessory kit let you tackle floors, furniture, and vehicle interiors with one unit.

Pros

The 4 Peak HP motor and 85 CFM airflow are designed for picking up dry dust, debris, and liquid spills. That makes the vacuum suitable for everyday messes as well as cleanup after hands-on projects. The 5-gallon tank offers capacity for recurring jobs, while the 17-pound listed weight and wheeled base support moving it around a home or garage.

The included tools help adapt the vacuum to different spaces: use the floor brush for broader floor areas, the crevice nozzle for narrow gaps, and the utility nozzle for general cleanup. Two extension wands add reach, and the 1-7/8-inch hose connects the tools to the vacuum. A hose strap and accessory bag help keep the hose and attachments organized between jobs.

Buyer feedback often highlights the quieter operation, suction, and cleaning performance. Comments about reliability and durability are mixed, so those impressions are best treated as individual experiences rather than a guarantee. Compared with choosing a larger-capacity vacuum for stationary cleanup, this 5-gallon canister is a practical fit when you want a wheeled unit to move between a vehicle, garage, and work area.

Key takeaways

This is a corded vacuum rated at 120 volts, with one speed and one power level. Its wet/dry design covers both liquid spills and dry debris, and the listed surface recommendations include all floors, carpet, and furniture. The canister measures 18.5 inches long, 17.91 inches wide, and 26.38 inches high, giving you concrete dimensions to consider when planning storage.

The accessory kit includes six disposable filter bags, a 1-7/8-inch hose, two extension wands, a floor brush, a crevice nozzle, a utility nozzle, a Clean Connect filter, a foam filter, a tool adapter, and an accessory bag. The vacuum also has a large top handle, a water-resistant on/off switch, and lid latches designed to secure the tank lid.

Usage tips

Choose the floor brush for open floor areas and switch to the crevice or utility nozzle when cleaning tighter spaces or furniture. The extension wands can add reach for areas that are awkward to access directly. For vehicle cleanup, the hose and narrower tools can help reach seats and gaps, in a workshop, the wet/dry function accommodates both loose debris and liquid spills. Use the included filter and bag setup as appropriate for the cleanup task, and store the accessories in the accessory bag when they are not in use.
