I have one for work and it’s great. Kills batteries but that’s why you have more than one. I wouldn’t mind having the newer bigger one. Also works good as a stool!
I have one of these that i keep in my RV. Works great to blow up an air mattress. Way faster than the little outlet ones, and when you're on propane, every amp counts. Does a decent job at keeping the dust off the counters as well, and it fits under the pullout bed/table thing.
Im a homegamer and I love mine. Had it for 7 years or so. Only regert was not waiting for the packout version. Its great for detailing my truck and jobs around my house I dont feel like humping a shop vac too.
Great review! I've owned that model vacuum about 3 years now and feel it does fine for what it is, however I've also noticed the hose clogs easily. I remove it from the vacuum, connect the hose to the blower end of the vac, then put the other end of the hose into the inlet of the vacuum and switch it on. That usually removes the clog and keeps the crap inside the vac.
Got o e of these for my gf years ago. I am the only guy not killed for buying the “wife” a vaccuum 🎉😂❤ used to pump the water out of her jet skis foot wells when cleaning. Car detailing, small cleanups. I was surprised at work when a company I worked with was able to “blow lines” in electrical pipe 100 plus yards through 3/4, and 1” pvc lines. Worked great 😮. Didn’t think it could do that much at that distance. Was with a non fuel one too
I use one of these frequently @ work, we have abused it like that Hoover you mentioned... hasn't failed yet and it's probably sucked up over 400 to 500 Lbs. of concrete dust. Compact, easy to clean and withstands daily industrial use. An old piece of T-shirt wrapped around the filter with a zip tie to secure it works as a great pre-filter and saves on replacements. 👍
I frigging love this guy. I found him through his shorts, never got into the rec drone game but apparently he used to be pretty involved and has some videos out there that are pretty cool. Definitely deserves more subs
The only Milwaukee non Fuel i picked up because i got it $100 cheaper than the Packout version. I actually like the fact the hose stays inside and its an even smaller form factor than the Packout.
I got the fuel packout version for ~$100 with the HD hack. It is large compared to this version. I will say I primarily use this for small wet tasks. My Dyson V11 sucks much better.
I've got the packout version of the M18 shop vac, and I use that thing on pretty much every job I do. Super handy for keeping people's houses clean as you work, and I use it as a blower to knock the sawdust off my tools at the end of the day.
Not a milwaukee fan but l have a few bits. This tool is great... very handy. Was a real hero this summer blowing up a couple of small inflatable pools.
It's already been said. I'm English and born 79.we call home vacs hoovers cos that was the biggest brand. We also had a drab green Electrolux later. 😊. Shop vacs and wet n dry vacs. Cheers funk
Only complaint’s I have about this vacuum is its hose seems to clog up very easily at the 90° bend as it enters the base. I have learned it’s better to keep lid open to help with that other problem is it’s such a pain in the but to remove hose and battery from unit I have had mine going on 4 years I guess and it’s always has worked well other than the before mentioned issues. Thanks for all the great videos.
As a British person I can say we use BOTH "vacuum cleaner" and "hoover" BUT we would still say "shop vac" for one of these. Also the history behind the name hoover comes from the American appliance manufacturer of the same name. They were one of the first companies in the word to make vacuum cleaners and because of the brand name association with the product it eventually became an alternative slang name for the product. An American equivalent example would be Q-Tips. I know the official term in the USA for the type of product is cotton swab (in the UK we say cotton bud not swab) but because Q-Tips is one of the biggest manufacturers of the product it became an alternative slang name. Here in the UK we do not have the brand Q-Tips our only major branded one is from the American company Johnson & Johnson (or Johnson's as it is also known)
@@larrytheplumber9851 Well he did say do you guys call them shop hoovers or wet/dry hoovers in the video and I answered his question. You may not care but but not everyone is like that
@@zahidshabir4038 just messing with ya mate Do u guys say soda or pop Or maybe both together soda pop 🤔 hat or cap 🤔 🤷 coat or jacket cig or fag. A glass or cup . A jug or curtain of milk . A pack or a box of cookies . A loft or a bag of bread 🍞 🤔 Dinner or supper 🍽
I've got one of these in my van fkr work, and I love it! Perfect for small cleanup jobs like you said. Even pulled all the rice out of a garbage disposal i had to work on this morning. 😂😂
I’ve had this for a few years now it’s very handy for what it is, and your rite you can’t compare it to a plug in 5 gallon. But very handy for small quick clean ups ,and the car! I would recommend trying a high output battery (I would imagine a new forge also I don’t own one yet) the h.o. Battery you can notice a improvement in performance.
I bought one a few years back at the time I thought it was just gonna be like a cool thing, but not super handy or powerful but actually, I use it from everything to vacuuming out my pellet stove to Cleaning tractor cabs lol.. I love it
If it’s anything like the packout one I’ve got on my work truck, it eats batteries. But for changing toilets, flush valves, cleaning underneath a sink, finishing a small job, and the occasional small mistake, it’s a must have on the truck.
As he said. It’s perfect for cleaning up the truck and small jobs at costumers house. I’m an electrician and i use that quite often for when I’m installing outlets fixtures whatever
I use one for work. It takes some abuse. Runs great with 8ah high output batteries which are expensive in themselves. Downsides are the short hose and possibility of the hose getting stuck if debris gets inbetween the lugs at the connection to the main unit. I modified a longer hose from a different vacuum which was very worthwhile but doesn't store in the unit the same.
I have one of these and use it much as you describe, for small cleanups in clients homes. I've found it very useful for that kind of work. The only thing I don't like is that the switch and the inlet are on opposite ends. I often wish I was able to hold the carry handle in my left hand and operate the switch with my thumb while manipulating the hose with my right. Maybe that's just me though.
I carried a 12 gal rigid for years. I finally bought one of those and it’s great. I rarely use the big one anymore. Turn all my tools got stolen so I decided to get the pack out version. Not sure if the fuel is that much better other then it works with pack outs
We do call vacuum cleaners Hoovers here in the UK,, but the reason for that is because Hoover was one of the first Vacuum cleaner manufacturers here, so it kinda stuck. Nowadays, it's not used as much.
i keep one behind the seat of my komatsu 360 excavator, if your not 5'2" and 300 pounds and actually hop out of the excavator and get your boots muddy the heater fan dries the mud on the floor and dusts out your cab. the hose will reach the foot controls from the behind the seat. perfect for excavators
2 or 3 years ago they gave me that vac and a charger for free for buying two batteries. I have treated it like a $2 "anyting you want" and it still sucks and blows well. Makes some funny sound but don't they all after a year. I hated the size of the tank so I bought a bucket and rigid vac attachments and made a pre tank 5 gal bucket capacity. Just run my bucket in line ahead of the vac with whatever hose and attachment I want. My bucket doubles as a dust collect when I through a few inches of water in the bottom before attaching to my table saw, router, etc. Tbh for a free vac I get more use out of it than other shit I've spent hundreds on
They do exactly what they’re paid to do. A roofer, developer, or construction company probably would’d have much use for em…Simply not large enough. But, for everything else they’re a necessity. I restore stone (marble, granite etc..), & just about every type of hard service flooring. Granite, ceramics, travertine tile, & wood flooring get filthy over time. Using strong PH chemicals, & a commercial orbital scrubber/polisher always cleans floors new. But, once the chemicals, & scrubber have done their jobs it’ll leave the floor smeared with water, chemicals, & mud on every inch of it. Most people spend multiple times simply mopping it up, but they’re actually smearing everything right back into their cleaned floors, This vacuum removes everything, every time, & within minutes, & no mops. Ultra efficient, ultra clean. Both Milwaukee’s are necessities, & both are incredible values priced below $200. If you already own a couple/several batteries (like most) the M18 is only $136 (really only one anyone would ever need), even the Fuel is still incredibly inexpensive at $199.00.
I have the older version of this vac. Hose storage is on the outside, handle is hinged and flips up, and can take the older NiCd 18v batteries as well as the current M18 batteries. Decent little vacuum, great for cleaning up the car. It's loud as fuck though lol
I have the Milwaukee vacuum thats a handheld shaped more like a leaf blower and its honestly one of the worst devices I have ever owned, I have tiny pet hair handheld vacs that work better. My friend has this one and it works great, wild the quality difference
An HVAC channel I watch has one of those, and while I don't know what it's like in person, on camera it seems to have the potential for permanent hearing loss - high pitched and EXTREMELY loud. Hearing protection recommended.
I’ve used mine for acid and debris, holds up well. I use a 6amp high output and it last me most of the day for quick uses. I need to quit being a bum and change the filter.
The filter clogs up much faster than the capacity gets full. I think that this little fella would be very good with a good old dust bag (instead of a filter).
I have the older equivalent DeWalt 18V shopvac, which I bought because (A) it was on clearance somewhere ($55, I think, with no batteries) and (B) I already had DeWalt 18V batteries. It's louder, I think, but eye test says it also sucks harder, if you will. I really wish it had the toolbox form factor, because it's rounded and doesn't stack with anything and doesn't store tools on-board as well. My girlfriend uses her Honda Fit like a pickup truck -- it hauls appliances, trash, bales of straw, loads of dirt and compost and mulch, anything, and in shockingly large amounts. So the DeWalt shopvac gets used as a car vac, and it does a stunningly good job. But you really want to get a "Claw" type nozzle for it -- trust me on this. Works well on upholstery, etc, wet and dry, so long as you aren't picking up big chunks of stuff. Makes the vac much more effective.
I got one from an old vacuum and my wife loves it. I was going to try to find a new one for this video but I couldn’t find anything that didn’t have a terrible rating.
I have one! 😀 It is sooo convenient... My hose broke and then i was very careful with the new one (after waiting 2 months to get it) and the accessory head detatched from the "accordion" wire 🙄 . Pos... I really dig this vac... minus the homo hose of course.
A couple of things with this product which I have used extensively. A 5Ah battery lasts 10 minutes tops. It doesnt hook up to your packout system so it falls to the ground a couple of times a day. There is no good way of keeping the hose from dangling without popping the lid and stuffing it away each time. If you have very short mobile jobs it works ok. But I would argue that a compact wall connected shop vac is way better it if you have power outlets at your disposal. Which you will need anyway at the rate this thing goes through batteries. But when you really need a cordless vacuum it's there for you. Capacity wise it works just fine for small jobs like cleanup after mounting stuff to walls. And cleaning the back of the truck every now and then.
I've had one of these for about 5 years. My only complaint is that the "Shop-Vac" brand attachments don't quite fit. The Milwaukee hose is a tad too girthy. That was a greedy thing to do so you'd have to buy their accessories which are nowhere near as extensive or ubiquitous as the Shop-Vac stuff. Otherwise, I love my vacuum!
I have this vacuum and my only complaint is that the switch is at the wrong end end. When I'm carrying it around and vacuuming, I have the hose pointed forward and the switch is at the rear. If it were at the other end, you could turn it on/off conveniently with your thumb. As it is, it's a two handed operation.
We all call them hoover's in the UK. There's a brand of vacuum cleaner called Hoover and the name just kinda stuck. It's one of those annoying things, that are called something they aren't. Like you guys and sheet rock I believe. Its drywall right?
Hoover is ACTUALLY an American company. We in the UK only use the name "Hoover" because of the brand name becoming genericised and associated with the product. It is like how Americans say Q-Tips instead of Cotton Bud/Swab. Hoover makes lots of products outside of Vacuum Cleaners too. I have a Hoover branded washing machine and the thing works wonders.
Telling the wife “ …have at it toots” just didn’t work out so well for me. So I better buy one of these cordless units asap! Thanks for the video!

New toolbox?
What do ya think of the m12 version?
I haven’t used it but I can’t imagine it’s very good at 12v
My guess would be it’s either good for a really short time or bad for a long time.
Clip it to the bottom of the milwaukee backpack and use it as a blower.
I had it and gave it away with all my ni-cads when I went Makita subcompact . Big mistake. Dual battery tool. Wet dry.
i would call it an industrial vacuum/Hoover, if its got a stronger motor and other stuff for trade folks. i live in Scotland.
Got works good for an lot of things nice to have
That vacuum really sucks.
Makita is the best Forever
Need some me for battery work acid
had this for a while .. I have ideas for mods ... mostly for the attachments or lack there of
Damn it, now I need to buy another tool, I’m a mechanic and every so often, I think to myself, I got all I need. And then this happens…
Welcome to my world 😜
We all call them hoover's in the UK. There's a brand of vacuum cleaner called Hoover and the name just kinda stuck.
It's one of those annoying things, that are called something they aren't. Like you guys and sheet rock I believe. Its drywall right?
Hoover is ACTUALLY an American company. We in the UK only use the name "Hoover" because of the brand name becoming genericised and associated with the product. It is like how Americans say Q-Tips instead of Cotton Bud/Swab. Hoover makes lots of products outside of Vacuum Cleaners too. I have a Hoover branded washing machine and the thing works wonders.

That’s cute
