Does the DCV581H corded/cordless version (the DCV580 is just the cordless version) have the same issue as the older DC500 corded/cordless vac, in that when plugged in to AC it runs slower/weaker vs when ran by the DC battery? I know, it should be the opposite, kinda weird. And why does the DC500 do this or is mine defective?
How about the suction of the 2 newer models vs the DC500? Better, same?
I would guess the DCV581H does not charge batteries?
Is the DC500 discontinued?
Well, I sent Dewalt Customer Care an email & this is my response:
“The DCV518H is a new product that launched August of 2013. So far there are no issues with the power.”
