Continuous automatic filter cleaning is the big deal with DeWalt’s latest 10 gallon vacuum. Basically, every 30 seconds one of the filters (there are two) is backflushed with air. This removes dust and keeps the suction at its maximum potential. The HEPA filters are designed to be replaced every 6 months under normal use. The DWV012 also includes a tool activation setting that senses a connected tool has been turned on starts and stops the suction accordingly. DeWalt designed it to meet the EPA Lead Related Renovations, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule for HEPA vacuums when used with DWV9320 HEPA filters (included).
