Just picked one up came with a free 5.0 battery. well worth it I always buy Milwaukee when they have the free battery deals because the batteries are the most expensive part of the Milwaukee line
I just came back from the store, and wanted to know everything about it. Vacuumed my truck from winter salt & dust. Very satisfied, but wanted to know all about it, before I ruined it! Thanks 👍🏻
I’ve bought it. And big improvements over the original had the first one and I use it professionally as a plumber the part that blew me away was the fact that the sound is a huge improvement over the original
Have the older model. Use it all the time. So convienent being cordless. Definitely is loud, but dry vac's are notoriously loud. Looks like they made this model even better. Like the two levels. Once mine dies will definitely upgrade. Great review as always.
This is a great vacuum! Just got it and I love how quiet it is for the suction power it has. It's lighter than you think, the hose is really good. Very happy with this one. Had the other Milwaukee vacs and still have a Makita 18v one which is close to this one but I grab the Packout first.
Great video/ demo. Thanks for the heads up on the the helpful accessories to grab when purchasing the vac. Having the foam filter sleeve / fleece bag or fine particulates up front will likely save some headaches (and some $$$) down the road by protecting our investment and prolonging its useful life. Thanks for the thoughtful review. Liked and subscribed!
Bought one used on eBay. Had to buy the filter seperate because seller didn't include it.. Whoops. Still saved money though. Thanks for telling us about the fleece & foam filters! I'm gonna go ahead and buy those too! This vac is a huge improvement over the older one, and it's smaller & lighter than I expected, which is not a bad thing!!
Thanks for pushing me over the fence on this one!! My wife will totally thank you! One super random question but did you ever do a build video on you shop? I am also so impressed by it and was just wondering if you may have a video answering some of my own shop build questions.

I wish they had made this the full packout width to accomodate more tool storage and 80-100 cfm. If Ryobi can get that cfm with their 6 gallon i expect that much or more from the M18 platform.
Great job thanks for the review:). Snagged one of these on the weekend to review, going to compare it to my 18v Makita Vacuum. One of my favourite tools. I’m excited to test it out against the makita and see if it can hang! Early handling leads me to believe the Makita is a better build quality.
I think I’ll use the empty bottom half, to store my extra batteries. Charge em & store em! I hate looking for my batteries, when I need them, & it’s very easy to remove them when I need to vacuum. I’m liking this more & more! Saved & subscribed 👍🏻
Great review Brian you pretty much answered all of my questions! Do you have the brushed version? How does it compare? I got tired of waiting for Milwaukee to release something like this so I ordered a packout conversion kit to install on the brushed version lol made my own packout Vac!
@@WorkshopAddict Now we really need to see the suction comparison between the new and brushed gen 2 cordless vacuum. I can see the noise to be less but is it really better then the older version by a lot. Or are really just saying lower noise, packout compatible but still not a very big improvement on the suction. Can't wait to see.
I had a craftsman version of this and it lasted about a year before it took a shit was wondering if these guys were any better I’m a Lyft driver that needs to be able to clean on the fly
My m18 vac 2.0 is louder than this unit but still this beast has been able to pick up tons of concrete dust, metal shavings, wire clippings, cut/busted screws etc etc. Feels a lot stronger than the m18 vac
Have you ever tried this with a dust extractor attachment like the one they make for the Milwaukee oscillating tool? It would be sweet if this would be powerful enough to suction dry wall & grout powder from a vac as portable as this one. In fact it would be ideally perfect if it worked, I know they make fleece bags for this unit which is what you'd want with fine particulate, but the question remains...is this vacuum powerful enough to do the job? I'm going to subscribe because I've watched a ton of your videos already, and I have a feeling your going to eventually get curious enough to test it since I know you have all tools already at your disposal to test it.
I have to take both my m18 fuel vac as well as my new m12 fuel vac back for exchange there both severely damaged and cracked sucks because the boxes look in great condition and there was a item missing from both @WorkshopAddict
@@TheReal0necrown You are going to kill the filters in this quickly. Maybe wrap the filter with a T-shirt or something so you do not go through the expense of ruining them. It is also not that powerful, so remember it is a small vac, not a large wet dry vac.
Just bought one and I have a question, when I run it on high and put my hand on the hose or if it’s clogged it seems to shut off now I don’t know if the switch is the issue or it’s a safety thing Is this normal?
i’ve been thinking of getting one of these for a while . Does anyone know if there some sort of adapter to be able to use wall outlet as well as battery ? Long shot but never know
@WorkshopAddict how does this compare to the Bosch gas18v-3n vac? I have packout but not worried about that feature.. just comparing the two which would you recommend? I have both platforms, own the packout vacuum and I'm considering switching to the bosch unit.
I would like a hose attachment that would allow vacuuming the floor from a standing position. Being an older person vacuuming from a kneeling position puts a strain on my back.Any hose attachments I can buy, size
I have the Ridgid 3 gal 18 Volt model, and it has been tested to be stronger than this one. Plus, battery life is better. To top it off, it is about $50.00 cheaper.

Great video brother....here come the questions. How does it compare suction wise to the older unit....I've heard and read up to 50 percent more suction...do u think this is accurate. Does it use the same hepa filter as the older unit ? The bag to catch smaller particles , will it trap Sheetrock dust ? Are the hoses interchangeable ? Try finding a hose for the older unit.... Milwaukee doesn't even make them. Again awesome video , I've been waiting for this one.....do u know when it will be available ?
Its available now. No clue if the hoses interchange. The last Milwaukee vac was a loser and I gave it away. This is all of 50% more suction. Not sure if the filters are interchangeable. The part numbers would be easy to check. The fleece bag will help with sheetrock dust!
Did you get the 10 tool entry ticket with yours I didn't get it or the m12 and m18 booklet same thing with the m13 fuel vac I I get the 10 tool entry ticket or the booklet @WorkshopAddict
If you need to vacuum on your knees, then all the packout convenience doesn’t matter to me. I don’t own any Bosch tools but bought the 18v vacuum just for the convenience of use and specially for their hose.
@@WorkshopAddict bosch is more expensive when you factor in the batteries... Might just stick with corded wet dry vac... Too many cheap cordless ones have failed on me
Love mine, it does burn a 4.0 battery fairly quick but I always run it on 2 when it’s attached to my tools. And quick isnt like 5 mins, I just thought it would last longer when my drill can run a 1.5 all day. The hose I’m not a fan, I love the quality and length but being that you get that length by stretching it far, it has a lot of pull back when connected to say a router. I’d like a long handle for floor vac and a hose attachment
I kinda prefer my 2 gal milwaukee vac..THAT I JUST BOUGHT..... First thing that came to mind was why they didn't make the base packout compatible. Now I know why. They really should sell a packout base for the 2 gal. A little rolling cart would be nice too.
@@WorkshopAddict The 2gal is model 0880-20. I currently have it bungeed on top of my packout organizer right next to the 15" packout tote. If they sold a replacement base that was packout compatible I wouldn't need the bungee.
@@WorkshopAddict - It causes a higher vacuum around the fan making it easier for the motor to turn the fan. To see this for yourself, put a Wattmeter on a house or shop vacuum and watch what happens to the Wattage when you put your hand over the end of the hose. Also, you can hear the motor speed up when you restrict the inlet.
I wanted this vacuum till I saw how short the hose is. That's ridiculous. Why would they make such a great vacuum and put a mini hose on it with no option to extend it??
UPDATE: I was able to fix it, the switch will just pop out with a flat head and then I had to switch the two outside wires, so now 2 is high and 1 is low :)
Hi, Man when DeWalt came out with their cordless vacuum and had it's tube on the outside every milwaukee fan gave it a bad review because they like how the tube went inside the box way better. Now that milwaukee has their new vacuum and the tube it's outside, it's fine for all the milwaukee fans. Too Funny...
If the hose was on the inside you could not use this if it was stacked in the middle of a bunch of packout box's, so makes sense on this particular vac to have hose on outside.
ONe annoying thing I don't like is that they made the ammo can, cooler, vac and that light all different sizes... Who wants to carry around small shallow organizers to be spot on with the stack height...???
DeWalt really needs to update theirs. Weak power, no bag, no thanks. Meanwhile Milwaukee has updated their's twice, though at a higher cost. Hell even Ryobi has left DeWalt behind. These things are so handy.
@@WorkshopAddict You mean the Flex Volt DCV585 dust extractor? Yeah that's nice but it also costs over $400. Would like to just see an update on the DCV580.
i know this video is over a year old but seems your understanding of vacuum physics is a little bit off for the run time test there.. blocking have the inlet doesnt load it more it actually unloads it.. its moving less air like that, it moves the most air when theres no hose on it and its not blocked up at all.. thats why vacuum motors rev higher when you block the inlet they cant magically increase power to a 110v motor to get more suction its actually the motor running faster as the load was lightened on it same as if you bog down say a belt sander when you lift it up it revs higher
You're wrong, when you have the hose blocked, it causes more resistance, which causes more stress and Importantly, HEAT ON THE MOTOR. Therefore it uses more battery, due to it being less efficient
@@PeanutHeadAss youre very confident in your ignorance... maybe go research it a little more, blocking the inlet has the vacuum moving less to no air and the blades of the fan/turbine are working in more of a vacuum state with less air impeding them so its far easier for them to spin common sense would tell you when a motor bogs down its under a heavy load and when it suddenly jumps to a "redline" it lost its load
@@AndrewBrowner common sense tells you that when a motor is being bogged down, the resistance causes stress and heat. Which causes inefficiency. Which causes faster battery use
@@PeanutHeadAss test it then, run a full battery with the hose plugged solid and run another one with it wide open sucking air.. ill bet my house the open hose goes dead long before the clogged hose
This is not an honest review; it's a paid advertisement. The Rigid kicks its ass in every way. The Rigid also has a lifetime warranty. And yes, it was available when this "review/advertisement" was originally posted.
In the first 30 seconds show a real world demo, picking up sawdust, small chunks of wood, screws, drywall dust. Otherwsie, you might as well just get a good compressed air nozzle to blow the dust out of crevices in your car / job site and sweep it up at the very end. This takes too long for practical use unless you are a handyman working in someones home on a fix and need to clean up a small localized mess. Not a job site mess.
For as much as it costs, it should come with everything required for wet and fine dust IMO.
You don’t need it there options
You can customize it towards what your uses are. Not everybody uses both wet and dry.
By that logic, why doesn't is come with EVERY accessory?

@@rpsmith I get that, but we simulated what would happen with a person using the vac and we did not "cavitate" the fan.

The Dewalt FV model is nice and has bags.
@@WorkshopAddict You mean the Flex Volt DCV585 dust extractor? Yeah that's nice but it also costs over $400. Would like to just see an update on the DCV580.
I don't need bags with my go-to cordless vacs. I just clean them with my big shopvac and it's giant cheap bags.
I just bought one becuse I was tired of dragging my huge ridgid around for small stuff
Got new one for $100!
This pack out vacuum is $108 on eBay right now. CPO outlet eBay listing. 👍
never mind...got it
i know this video is over a year old but seems your understanding of vacuum physics is a little bit off for the run time test there.. blocking have the inlet doesnt load it more it actually unloads it.. its moving less air like that, it moves the most air when theres no hose on it and its not blocked up at all.. thats why vacuum motors rev higher when you block the inlet they cant magically increase power to a 110v motor to get more suction its actually the motor running faster as the load was lightened on it same as if you bog down say a belt sander when you lift it up it revs higher
You're wrong, when you have the hose blocked, it causes more resistance, which causes more stress and Importantly, HEAT ON THE MOTOR. Therefore it uses more battery, due to it being less efficient
@@PeanutHeadAss youre very confident in your ignorance... maybe go research it a little more, blocking the inlet has the vacuum moving less to no air and the blades of the fan/turbine are working in more of a vacuum state with less air impeding them so its far easier for them to spin
common sense would tell you when a motor bogs down its under a heavy load and when it suddenly jumps to a "redline" it lost its load
@@AndrewBrowner common sense tells you that when a motor is being bogged down, the resistance causes stress and heat. Which causes inefficiency. Which causes faster battery use
@@PeanutHeadAss test it then, run a full battery with the hose plugged solid and run another one with it wide open sucking air.. ill bet my house the open hose goes dead long before the clogged hose
@@AndrewBrowner 🫱🏽🫲🏻
This is not an honest review; it's a paid advertisement. The Rigid kicks its ass in every way. The Rigid also has a lifetime warranty. And yes, it was available when this "review/advertisement" was originally posted.
Decent review but I wouldn't call that vac "quiet".
In the first 30 seconds show a real world demo, picking up sawdust, small chunks of wood, screws, drywall dust. Otherwsie, you might as well just get a good compressed air nozzle to blow the dust out of crevices in your car / job site and sweep it up at the very end. This takes too long for practical use unless you are a handyman working in someones home on a fix and need to clean up a small localized mess. Not a job site mess.
Cool
