Asked by Mike January 31, 2015No, I wouldn't buy it for sand in carpet.
can you vacuum up soot from a boiler ,can the filter handle it ?
Asked by Milwaukeeguy December 30, 2017i’m not sure about that, I used on broken glass and warm ashes from my grill and the filter looks ok still
do you use the vacumn with charger attached when using
Asked by sweetpea November 26, 2017No. You charge the battery and then pop the battery into the tool.
Have any improvements been made to the filter to perform better with fine drywall dust? Is a Ridg...
Asked by 50yearsinthetrades March 25, 2017Fine drywall dust is a problem for any vacuum filter. The larger the filter surface area, the longer it will take to plug it up. Plan on replacing filter often, or knock the dust out of it often. This vacuum has a small filter, so it will probably plug up quickly with drywall dust. I would suggest some type of vacuum with a bag that will contain most of the dust as a "pre-filter" to the exhaust filter. This is how most home vacuums work and it keeps the filter from clogging up so fast.
Were to get replacement filters
Asked by Jc May 23, 2018I've had my M12 compact vacuum for about a year and am still using the original filter. However, you can purchase replacement filters here: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-3-in-Replacement-Filters-2-Pack-49-90-1950/206140085
bring batterry and charger?
Asked by boinaverde18 December 24, 2016yes, sold as tool only
Can it clean drywall dust or will it shoot it back out?
Asked by Sam January 1, 2016YES
How long is the extension wand?
Asked by ATS March 24, 2017about 18 inches
Can this be used w/o the filter?
Asked by AC August 31, 2017No. Some of what you vacuum up will blow out of the side into the air you breath. Some will get stuck in the motor and blower fins. Some will end up in the canister. You'll destroy your vacuum, inhale some saw dust, and get your clothes all dusty. They should make a screen attachment so you can use it without filter. My Ryobi hand vac has one. It doesnt filter the exhaust air, but it allows me to pick up some larger stuff without having to drag out the big vac i.e. when my kid spills a bowl of popcorn on the rug.
