## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a wet and dry vacuum?**
A: I would say yes and no.  Dewalt say yes.  I used it to wet vac a carpet.  What I found was that although I cleaned the filter before hand, as soon as water got in the filter it clogged it.  All the small dirt particles seemed to completely block it and no amount of cleaning would revive the filter.  Considering the filters cost about £50 or half the vacuum price, for most people I would say this is a no.  I converted my old paper/hepa filter to a foam filter and so now mine will actually do both wet and dry without eating a £50 filter each time. (Anyone that wants to do this, gorilla glue sticks foam)

**Q: The product description @ the bottom of the ad. says even works on mains supply? Where can I get one?**
A: wrong hoover another dewalt model can be mains or battery but not this one

**Q: can i buy spare filter and what type is it?**
A: Hello 
Thank you for your interest in Tools-Pro.Store .

Yes, you can buy spare filter. We do not present spare parts in amazon marketplace.

Hope to have clear your doubts.

Because of the COVID19 pandemic, we wish you and your family to keep safe ☺

**Q: Can you tell me the approximate running time with a fully charged battery please**
A: Depends which battery you pair it with. I chose the 5.0AH and it lasts ages. I can easily get ten five-minute uses before recharging. As a guideline a recharge typically coincides with having to empty the crud catcher.
