The verdictOur take

The DCV517N is DeWalt's 18V XR wet & dry handheld vacuum, with a 1.9L container, 15.9 l/s of airflow and a 1m hose at 1.8kg bare. Sold body only, it suits van, car and site-hut clean-ups, picking up spills as well as dust, with a HEPA filter you clean by hand. We rate it a practical grab-and-go vacuum for XR owners; the DCV501LN stick vacuum is L class rated and lighter at 1.5kg, while the DCV584L gives a 7.5L tank and runs from the mains too.
