Customer Reviews for Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless 1 Gal. Cordless 3-in-1 Backpack Vacuum with Extra HEPA Filter

This is a great little vacuum cleaner. I bought it to replace my 35 year old large capacity behemoth. A little less powerful and smaller capacity but easily portable, not tied down by a cord and enough capacity for my needs. A little lacking in the accessories. I wanted a longer hose, extension wands, a floor tool and a brush tool. Not easy to find1 1/4 accessories. I finally bought a M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Compact Vacuum Bare Tool as well. I was surprised to find It's accessories are a slightly larger diameter. By making a shim out of a soda bottle I was able to marry the two hoses together and I can now use the accessories on either tool. I'm surprised Milwaukee designed multiple vacuum tools without making the accessories fit them all.

This is a wet and dry vac that vacuums or blows when connecting the hose to their respective end of the unit. The hose, case and components are well made. The (box) shape of the unit makes it easier to load/fit in the back of your truck or car. In the picture, I've attached it to my track saw to use it as a portable dust collector, worked great for that too. For the last two years I've purchased the M18 Fuel Line from Milwaukee, love the quality and battery life you get from the brushless technology on the ones I own which are the Drill/Driver, Impact and Circular products. (2604-20, 2653-20 and 2730-20 respectively)

This is a great little vac that has all the sucking power of larger 110 volt shop vacs. I use it daily on job sites to clean up after drilling through sheetrock/ studs, ect. Works great at home to, to vacuum out the cars. A little pricy, being that it doesn't come with a battery or have a built in charger, which would be a nice touch, but overall a good product.

But wait- it is a blower too. I've put off getting one because, like every other guy in America- I have a shop vac. There are strings attached to these known as a power cord. Who wants to clean up after cleaning up? This Milwaukee you just twist the hose on and you are in business. The icing on the cake is this also can be used as a portable blower- with a good balance of pressure vs air flow. I mostly use this for clean up on client's equipment and I have been very pleased so far.

Good suction light weight battery life is good

My only complaint is that it tips over so easily because it’s top heavy. The battery and the motor are on the top like a regular shop vac, but regular shop vacs have wheels. It’s just a little frustrating pulling it around a crawl space. If they could somehow move the battery mount more towards bottom it would help. Other than that it’s a great portable option for tight spaces.

The vacuum is very compact with everything on it.

Needs an attachment to vacuum carpet. It’s a great machine.

Awesome fits the bill powerful and compact enough for all my clean up. Really like how everything fits in the top for storage.

Extremely convenient to use. Being cordless is an advantage, but the layout and design is very intuitive make it very easy to use.

Without the free battery that came with it I would not have bought it but it really is nice package. Nice seals easy to clean very light. And powerful.

Works great for keeping the storage facilitie I manage clean. Definitely more convenient than corded.

Bigger is better, it will be perfect ,If it can be attach to a power cord.

Sheena Price at the Owensboro, Ky. Home Depot went above and beyond!! So far we Love Our New Vacuum!!

So far so good. I am in the HVAC industry, I bought to vacuum out condensers, and secondary drain pans in attics it exceeded my expectations.

Very well made and powerful suction. Two thumbs up.

Milwaukee is definitely better than I expected

I didn't get my free battery been waiting for 3 weeks I'm mad at you ?
