Why We Love This Deal
DeWalt’s 20V tool line is tough and ready to get the job done. But after using the brand’s 20V jig saw and a 20V drill, there’s going to be a ton of dust around the work site. Fittingly, DeWalt also makes a HEPA-filtering 20V vacuum, and Amazon is selling it for less than $100 right now.
The DeWalt 20V Cordless Handheld Vacuum is now just $99, a 34% discount on its normal price of $149. Amazon notes that this deal is selling fast, which makes sense, since over 5,000 vacuums have been purchased in the past month.

- Power: 46 CFM
- Lighting: Bright LED light on base.

DeWalt’s 20V DCV501HB is a handheld vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter for superior dust removal. It comes with a whole host of components to fit around every bend and get into any corner of the worksite where wood and drywall dust are likely to accumulate.
Unlike ordinary vacuums, which often have LED lights on the standard brushroll head piece, the DCV501HB has lighting directly on the base above the handle. This allows for better vision with all pieces, which comes in extra handy on worksites without complete lighting.
If your worksite gets wet, you may prefer the DCV517B model instead. It trades out the HEPA filtration for a wet tank. Both run on DeWalt 20V batteries, but don’t come with them. In practice, most users of these vacuums are likely to be using 20V tools on the worksite and then, when done, switch the tool battery over to the vacuum to clean up at the end of the day.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Naturally, DeWalt enthusiasts who already have a collection of 20V batteries and tools are big fans of this vacuum, but there’s more to it than that. As one user puts it, “The suction is by far the best I’ve found among battery-powered vacuums, and even rivals that of some plug-in upright and stick vacuums.” Other reviews mention how the suction has improved significantly from older models.
Another shopper, who admitted to having four DeWalt batteries already, said that it is “a great little vacuum even if you aren’t a devoted DeWalt guy like I am.” They added that it is a “no-brainer” if you have batteries and a charger already.
The DeWalt 20V Vacuum DCV501HB is now just $99, but Amazon says the deal is selling fast, so make sure to pick up yours while you have a chance.
