The verdictOur take

The DWH161N is DeWalt's 18V XR brushless universal dust extractor, a small unit with a 0.21L container, 9 l/s of airflow and 9.5 kPa of suction at 1.65kg bare. Sold body only, it starts and stops with Wireless Tool Control tools, and its 1m hose and stepped nozzle adaptor suit drilling and fixing indoors, with a washable HEPA filter that the motor back-flushes. We rate it a neat extractor for tidy second-fix work; the DCV517N handheld holds 1.9L and moves 15.9 l/s for general clean-ups, though at 76 dB(A) LpA against this unit's 66.3.
