Let me start by saying this: the DEWALT DXV06G isn't just a vacuum—it's a garage game-changer. After wrestling with clunky shop vacs for years, this wall-mounted beast feels like an upgrade to first class. The 5HP motor doesn't just whisper 'strong suction'—it *proves* it by inhaling wood chips, metal shavings, and even rogue screws like they're breakfast.

The real MVP? That 20ft hose. Sure, some users (including me) initially wished for 30ft, but here's the kicker—its flexibility is UNREAL compared to rigid hoses that fight you like an angry python. Pro tip: Buy the $15 extension hose upfront if you need driveway reach. The wall mount? Genius. My garage floor hasn't been this clutter-free since... ever.

Now for the plot twist I didn't see coming—the remote control watch. Sounds gimmicky until you're elbows-deep in sawdust and realize you haven't walked back to toggle power 47 times. Game. Changer.

Two quirks though: The dust bags are pricier than avocado toast (shop third-party), and while the muffler helps, it's still loud enough to hear over power tools—just not deafening like my old metal tank vac.

Final verdict? If your garage is your kingdom, this is your throne. DeWalt nailed portability (21lbs!), storage solutions (that accessory cubby!), and raw power in one package. Just maybe don't gift it to your spouse unless you're ready for... interesting reactions.
