    The Milwaukee 0885-20 (0885-21HD for the kit) 3 in 1 backpack vacuum is a versatile tool great for jobsite cleanup. With 55 CFM and 76" water lift, it offers great performance capabilities with a decent runtime of 25 minutes with a 9Ah battery.
    Thanks to Milwaukee for providing a review sample.

    On my vacuum cleaner if I close off the flow completely, the power use drops by half. Typically as you close down the flow the speed of the fan/motor increases signaling lower power use. right?

    • @DoresoomReviews
      @DoresoomReviews  3 года назад +4

      I think you're right. I thought about what's happening some more, and the vacuum is moving less air when flow is cut off. The motor just spins faster due to lower torque and sounds like it's working harder.

      @@DoresoomReviews I have a power meter on my home electricity and have verified this on my Sanitaire vacuum cleaner, the highest power draw is with no bag installed, no hose, no restrictions at all. Completely closing off the flow reduces the electrical load to around 2/3 full load and the motor speed surges up.

    Don’t waste your money.
    This is not a well-designed tool and it needs significant improvements before it’s worthy of the price. To be fair, I love two features about it; it’s super quiet and the mechanism for the wand was really nice. That’s where it ends.
    My first real test was to clean up the wood shop; there's a lot of saw dust in a wood shop, but that's expected. After about 20 minutes of vacuuming, with 4 inches of saw dust collected in the canister, the power dropped significantly and the motor's flow was significantly reduced. I dumped the canister, but there was still no flow. I pulled out the circular, pleated filter and it was completely jam packed with dust. In other words, this vacuum won't work for trades. It might work for light duty house cleaning, but not serious construction site work.
    Here are my gripes:
    1- The cyclonic dust separation unit is rudimentary in design and needs to be significantly reworked. On the first 20 minutes of use, saw dust was clogging half the holes in the first size exclusion cylinder and what didn't get stopped there ended up in the pleated paper filter. The pleated white filter was solidly clogged with dust. Take notes from Dyson, their filters see very little dust through really good design in being able to separate the dust from air.
    2- The 4' telescopic wand is made of steel. It’s heavy and because the unit didn’t come with a small brush (really?), you’ll want to use the bare end of the pipe which will dent trim and be prone to being dented making it unable to slide on the tip attachments. The black plastic cuffs are too big a diameter for comfortable vacuuming. Why not anodized aluminum which would be lighter and less prone to denting (swinging mass)?
    3- The body of the unit is too heavy. Who ever designed it had zero interest it making a beautiful tool and no finesse in finding an optimised design between durability, sustainability and ergonomics. They just used kilos of plastic to ensure durability meaning the device just screams "I don't give a shit about the end user."
    4- Why did it not come with a small round brush attachment? I get the battery, but attachments are key.
    I love Milwaukee tools mostly, but this tool makes me wish I had bought into the Makita family instead. I'd love my money back, this tool is a huge disappointment.

    3 things I gotta say...
    1 great review! thank you! I appreciate the camera angles and examples of yourself actually using the tool.
    2nd #milwaukee hope y'all took notes if not I did. * make it 3 inch hoses diameters, with variety of accessory nozzles *include both the 9ft and 6ft hoses in the package buyers will use both * add more suck, even if it makes it a lil bigger more suck for more hose and more accessories like the carpet bristle roller, * make it a dry /wet vac AND blower ... -_- yall need to re evaluate the advertisement team cause labeling it a "3 in 1" just makes the buyer think its also a wet vac, calling it 3 in 1 literally makes me think suction for dry/wet and a blower NOW THATS A 3 IN 1! *great potential especially if ya'll make it a wet vac at least. I know I'd buy one for interior car detailing. because lets face it if ya'lls target buyer buyers are just the tool guys working in the construction business they are gonna buy the bigger SUCKIER vacuum that does more than just hang.
    3rd My favorite thing about this vacum has to be the design and similarity to Luigis ghost vac from Nintendo's Luigi Mansion video games. I know the design team knows what I'm talking about. I am seriously thinking about buying one and customizing it for Cosplay. but at the same time if that's the main thing I'll use this specific vacuum for it makes me feel that it's just a toy/ just for looks. Hanging vacums aint new. People already know how to modify shop vacs to work while hanging. Back packs are great for mobility but at the same time shop vacs got wheels. So when you get down to it this vacum really just got looks while loosing potential for multi suction and blowing capabilities. not saying it wont sell. just saying im hoping Milwaukee wont turn into the "Apple" of the tool world and create die hard followers who spends nights in line camping out just to buy the "latest in technology" when really its not A+ worth the money. hahaha overall they either gotta redesign or lower the price. today is 3/10/21 and amazon selling it for for $271 usually at $367....if that "sale" isnt proving my point idk what will.

  • @dimik3855

      That sounds pretty awesome, but the runtime just wouldn't be there though. I have the M12 FUEL 1.6 gallon wet/dry vac, and it's great for small cleanup jobs. But it only gets about 2.5 minutes per Ah of battery. So a 6Ah will only last about 15 minutes, which would get really annoying taking it on and off to swap batteries.

      It's borderline strong enough suction for that use. But the backpack design actually makes it pretty unwieldly for getting into a car with it. The hose isn't long enough to just set it on the ground outside, and the vacuum itself is too big to fit easily into the vehicle. If you do use it for cleaning vehicles, the longer hose option that can be purchased separately is a must!

    Boy I wish this was wet/dry... my world would be complete. 😔
    Edit: there’s a lot of comments on here wishing it was wet capable. Honestly, I think it’s the whole Dyson format (design copy) thing that prevents it from being water capable. The seal for the dropout door at the bottom is probably not really water proof. So straight up sucking water might cause it to leak. Right over top the battery as well.
    I think a modded version would work. By glueing in a better gasket or o-ring where the trap door latches at the bottom could work. You’d void a warranty of course. But I might try it.

Would you recommend it als shop vac, were it mostly stands on the floor? I know its intended to be carried around, but I think it would also do a great job in my workshop :-)
    Only they should have designed the cyclonic separator better, so it would separate more dust and keep the HEPA filter cleaner. But I think if you clean it an a regular basis, it will maintain the suction of the vacuum.

      It doesn't have a blower function. The exhaust is spread out around the top of the cylinder, so there's no distinct outlet port. It works better for vacuuming that way, since there isn't a gust of air coming from the vacuum stirring up dirt.

      I've read that this thing can get a bit more than 20 minutes on High an HD9.0 battery. That's nominally a 9Ah battery, probably less under load because of heat due to battery internal resistance. Anyway, that's about 9Ah / (0.33 hrs) = 27A, and that's a high estimate. At 18V nominal, 27A * 18V = 490W. Assuming 85% AC-->DC conversion efficiency and 120V rms from the wall plug, that's 490 / 0.85 = 580W.
      The tricky bit is finding a non-battery power supply that produces 18V at nearly 30A and isn't some cheap consumer junk. Meanwell offers the HRP-600-15 which can handle up to 645W continuous and for which the voltage can be adjusted up to 18V. One of these supplies costs a mere $160 and would add 3.3lbs to the product weight. A similar 600W power supply without PFC and not currently offered in an acceptable voltage range can be had for ~$70.
      As Doresroom Tool Reviews says, the lights draw maybe 3A max from a battery which is less than half an amp from the wall. Correspondingly, they're cheap and lightweight. For a vacuum or a saw the 500W-2000W peak power draws calls for big, heavy power supplies that may add $100-$300 to the cost of the product and increase weight by 3-8lbs at a guess. Manufactured internally, Milwaukee could no doubt make a cheaper power supply, but they can't get around the weight issue to a large degree, especially if the product chassis is mostly plastic (meaning there isn't a large metal structure in place for heat distribution).
      Side note: Other companies use higher voltage packs which yields less current on the DC side, making power supplies cheaper. Metabo HPT for instance has a corded adapter for their MultiVolt line. The Dewalt 12" miter saw uses two 60Vmax FlexVolt packs in series for 120V, which has the convenient side effect of not even needing a conventional power supply to draw from wall power. It can just rectify 120V rms and get 120V DC, albeit with a lot of electrical noise.

      It depends on what specs you care about. Makita has a slightly higher air flow rate at 64 CFM vs the Milwaukee's 55 CFM. But Milwaukee absolutely destroys the Makita when it comes to suction: 75" of water lift vs the Makita 44" of water lift.

    I thought it used a cyclone for filtering. Just a regular dumb filter. What a bummer. It would have been very nice for ordinary house cleaning if it was a cyclone. Perhaps the floor accessory isn't the best but it should be no deal making an adapter to fit the one from my old vacuum.
    Have been looking a long time to find a good cordless replacement for a full size vacuum as it's quite teddious dragging cord and machine around. A backpack is nice and keeps weight off hands. Sure there's the Dyson V11 but I'm not 100% sold on that one either. Very expensive and all Dysons I've heard had a very loud high frequency sound to them. Not animal friendly...

    • @connors.1077
      @connors.1077 3 года назад

      It's not a cyclonic filter per se, but it does use a cyclone air movement to keep fine dust particles moving near the outside of the tube so that the HEPA filter doesn't clog as quickly. If you use a regular wet/dry shop vac for fine wood dust or drywall dust, all the dust plasters itself over the filter membrane immediately and the vacuum loses suction pretty fast.

    • @connors.1077
      @connors.1077 3 года назад

      From a DIY perspective it would certainly be possible with a transformer with low voltage secondary tap into a rectifier. A microcontroller looks for current flow in the AC feed to the tablesaw (assuming it's not a battery powered saw) by monitoring the voltage out of the rectified tap, and then uses a solenoid or servo to turn the vacuum on and off accordingly. Probably cost $50 to add this if you knew which parts to use.
      If it was a DC battery saw, then you'd probably want to add a hall effect current sensor inline with the DC feed from the battery, and use that as the sensor. Some sort of current-sensing loop may also work, or something that senses rotation of the blade, possibly using a beam-brake sensor to the side blade teeth. The light sensor would flicker on and off as the teeth spin past and block the light.
