Used 5 times. Stopped working. Home depot wouldn’t replace. Had to send it back to Millwaukee. Waiting on them.

Stops functioning after 20 -30 uses
I’ve purchased 2 of these vacuums. First one worked a few times before it stopped turning on. I returned it and got a new unit. I use it only in the driveway to vacuum my truck after the kids ride along . It’s used once a month to vacuum my truck and after 2 yrs it has stoped working. I would understand if it was used multiple times a day for work but it’s merely for convenience. Would not recommend this specific Milwaukee tool.

Handy little sucker!!!
Easy to use for fast clean up, it really sucks! A big time saver for those little jobs, no dragging out cords and the like. This unit will meet or exceed expectations. Pic shows I did buy this unit ( fight fake reviews!)

Shoe Wobble
Just got this saw and noticed there is excess clearance between the blade depth pivot pin and the cast saw body. Even with all the tilt and depth knobs tight, the shoe moves relative to the body with a light handle force and causes the blade to not be perpendicular to the shoe, see photo of shoe clamped to bench and 3mm difference in motor height off work surface. I am going to go back to HD and see if other samples in stock do this.

I've replaced the vacuum hose three times
The vacuum hose has broken three times with very light use and after less than a year of use. Terrible quality product

Having a portable vac to do light duty clean up during a project is great and this sweeper does the job.
And I was able to adapt the Model #: 49-90-2016 bags to work with this sweeper!
Cut a piece of 1" PVC conduit, or any PVC pipe with a 1.315" OD, 2-1/4" long with a 45 deg cut on one end.
Push the straight cut end into the inlet hole. A friction fit is all that is needed, no glue.
Push the bag opening onto the PVC stub and secure the bag with an electrical zip tie.

Got this to use on jobs since it's lightweight and very portable. I like the size and weight and it's of course very easy to use. I think it was a great addition to my tools and comes in handy on jobs that require some cleanup (drywall, sawdust, etc).

This Shop Vac Sucks, because it doesn't suck!
I bought this shop vac on May 8 at Home Depot and even on its highest setting with a new filter it wouldn't suck up a small pile of dust. This is a $199 piece of junk. I would return it if I wasn't past the return date. I have such high regard for my other Milwaukee coordless tools of which I have many, so it was a surprised to find that this item simply doesn't work. Don't waste your money folks. Home Depot I would take this off your shelves or expect a lot of returns.

Too soon to tell
Tool bag zipper stuck at delivery so I can't get to the tools to inventory the tools. This does not breed confidence in the quality of the tools. I really hope destroying the bag I paid for is rewarded. Disappointing introduction to Milwaukee tools.

not much much sucktion
Im an electrician and i bought this trying to see if it would be great for sucking strings thru pvc conduit knowing that it might not work i tried it in a distance of a good 40’ and i was right this vacuum is not good for that purpose at all,other than that the vacuum is great and i love the convinience of not having to need electrical power to use this.

Great Little Vac
This Milwuakee M-18 18volt 2 gallon vacuum is a perfect little vacuum for cleaning up small jobs. I bought it for my service van to keep it clean and it does a great job at that. Power wise it isnt a 110volt shot vac bit it does pretty darn good. One thing I like is the way you can hold it in one hand while turning it on and off why using the other hand to direct the wand makimg it very easy to move around with why cleaning. One thing thats a downside is Its kinda loud but all vacuums are so i exspected that. I do want to try the Fuel version of this vacuum to see the difference but this vacuum is more then substantial. I would definatly recommend it to friends its a winner in my book

it went dead after a few months
I bought this vac because L alredy had the m18 battery sytem with varius tools, after a year or so it didnt work anymore, try to fix it but no luck, then i went back and got a second one ( I liked it) the second only lasted about two months and it went dead again so that was a waste of money, I wouldnt recomend it, They have to fix this issue and stop selling it untill they fix the issue.

Impressed
I bought one of these last week to use for quick clean-ups, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. The wife said it would be handy to vacuum the cars and I told her I didn't think it would be. Boy was I wrong. Now I won't have to drag the big shop vac and drop cord out every time. This has been handy to do the quick clean-ups of my enclosed trailer, some of those hard to get to areas in the house. I've used these on some job sites and they make things so much quicker and easier. Connecting it to tools make things so much cleaner. I like that the hose can be stored inside and out of the way. I wish that I had gotten one of these a long time ago.

So disappointed with this one
First let me say that i love and use exclusively Milwaukee M18 power tools for all my needs from carpentry to interior remodeling.
I have bought 2 of these little vacuums as the first proved so worthy. Bought both within a week of each other.
This second unit unfortunately has failed. The right hand latch broke, and did so while sitting on top of a newly installed set of cabinets where the plastic piece shot off to a spot where the piece fell down behind a cabinet never to be seen again.....unless we uninstall them.
I no longer have the box as i felt no need to keep clutter in my shop, so i probably can't exchange this now.
The latch part number is listed on Milwaukee's site, but comes up as discontinued.

Attachments do not fit
Be warned that if you attempt to use any vacuum attachments that are not provided with this vac, you will likely have problems using those attachments. Most vacuum attachments are made to work with a 1.2" diameter male hose end. The male hose end on this vacuum is 1.3". Most attachments I have do not fit securely and consequently fall off when using this vac. The included photo shows that a third party attachment does not fit well, and results in an insecure connection with a gap for air to leak out.
Milwaukee needs to redesign the hose end, to reduce the diameter, and provide current owners with a solution for the diameter that is too large.
Otherwise the vac is fine, as long as long as you don't need to use third party attachments.

Overall great saw, nitpicky issues
Overall, this is a solid saw. The 6.5" will cut largely anything you need to cut for smaller projects, and allows for a smaller, lighter form factor.
1 minor annoyance is that I found that the screw used to tighten the rip fence guide is poorly designed. While using the rip fence, I hand tightened it to a normal tightness, but when I went to loosen it to remove the fence, the plastic handle began to just spin on the screw. I ultimately needed to pull the plastic handle off, and use pliers to remove it. For a $120 saw, and Milwaukee at that, I would have expected better hardware choices that would last longer.

Really convenient!
This vacuum is really easy to use. It has plenty of attachments to choose from and the hose detaches easily if something gets stuck inside. Great suction- I use it for stairs and cleaning the entryway. No cords, but I would recommend an extra battery because you get about 10 min with a charge.
