Customer Reviews for Milwaukee M18 FUEL PACKOUT 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 2.5 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum (Vacuum-Only)

Milwaukee always has the best products. We don't have a lot of outdoor outlets, so we always have to run extension cords around the house to use electric tools. The MILWAUKEE M12 FUEL 12-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS 1.6 GAL. WET/DRY VACUUM is perfect for cleaning out the car, truck or any mess that requires a wet/dry vacuum. It has two attachments, one wide and one narrow, that fit right inside the top of the unit. The bottom, where the dry or wet stuff goes, has a good size well and a filter. The unit is a little heavy compared to my other outdoor wet/dry vacuum, but I can set it down of the floor or seat and still reach whatever I need to clean. The hose is a decent length and the suction is really good. The 12 volt battery holds a charge long enough for me to do my whole car with re-charging. The battery does not come with it.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL PACKOUT 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 2.7 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool-Only) – Milwaukee has two M18 portable shop vacuums this is the higher priced Packout model that is compatible with Milwaukee Packout storage and parts boxes. The vac is light-weight (about 15 pounds with battery) and is a nice-looking compact tool with a fold down handle for attaching Packout boxes both to the top and bottom. A compartment under the lid provides storage for the vac’s accessories and the location for the M18 battery powering the vac. Accessories include the usual, crevice tool, nozzle and power tool dust-collection adapter. (Battery is purchased separately) The vac has two speeds and is very quiet on both. The low speed is pretty low, fine for light materials, dust, etc. without sucking up everything around it. On high it’s great; picks up wood chips, small chunks of plaster, concrete chips and small gravel and other debris. I attached the vac hose to the dust collection hose of an orbital sander; with the vac on high and with its HEPA filter it did a very good job keeping up with the dust.

Very nice design and robustly built. This is a great jobsite tool where one may need to clean up messes. Everything, including the battery, is contained within the ‘box’. On the top you find a fold-out handle as well as the power switch in a recess, along with a battery charge indicator. The top of the machine is opened by releasing two latches on the front and reveals the barry holder, the vacuum tube as well as two attachments. The two attachments are a broad floor sweeper and a small crevice tool. The hose can be routed out through a hole in the side allowing the top to be closed while the machine is in use. It stretches to 5’ Large clips on either side release the bottom dirt compartment for empting. The dirt compartment is strong and has a pretty large capacity (1.6 gallons). Hanging off the bottom of the center part of the machine is a removal, washable HEPA filter. The filter bayonets into its housing make a secure fastening The vacuum will handle both wet and dry material. As with most wet/dry vacs, there is a float that will cut off power when the tank is full. The normal filter is not used when sucking up liquids. I find it light enough to hold in one hand while I use the hose in the other. Having it battery powered makes it easy to move around without a power cable damaging fragile items. It is not too noisy and it sucks things up well. The rocker power switch provides two speed modes. The battery charge indicator shows the battery charge for a few seconds after turning the unit on. The hose can be disconnected and attached to the air outlet turning the machine into a portable blower. Also included is a wall bracket that allows the whole machine to be hung on a wall. It is also possible to attach a fine dust bug (available separately item 49-90-2016) inside the dirt compartment. One can also purchase a 1-1/4" Round Brush Tool (item 49-90-2017) and a tube adaptor for connecting directly to power tools (Power tool adaptor item 49-90-2018). So it is good to see support through a range of accessories. Overall a clearly well thought out and well engineered product. Highly recommended.

STRONG SUCTION; QUIET; LONG RUN TIME; EASY to STORE and CARRY; SUPERIOR DESIGN — The Milwaukee M18 FUEL PACKOUT 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 2.5 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool-Only) makes my two current shop vacuums, one corded and one cordless, obsolete. The rectangular shape of this vacuum allows for more efficient storage vs. the typical round shop vacs. It has a wide handle for easy carrying. The attachments may be stored inside the high-quality case and the flexible hose fits securely on the outside of the case. It has a crevice tool and a very wide utility attachment for quick pickups of debris. The battery fits inside the case. The run time is dependent upon the size of the battery and whether high or low speed is used. I used mine primarily on high speed because it makes a cleanup go faster. If necessary, I can easily swap batteries. The long run time allows me to completely vacuum my car whereas my previous cordless vac battery only lasts for 7 minutes which was not sufficient. The high suction vs. my other vacs is a noticeable advantage. The 2.5 gallon tank seems to be an optimal size for most applications. The tank is easy to unlatch and empty. The vacuum may also be used as a wet vacuum or as a blower. A separate filter may be purchased for picking up fine particles. It is part of the Packout system for transporting tools easily and comes with a Packout lock. It would help if it had a long extension attachment which would allow debris on the floor to be vacuumed while standing up which would make the task go faster. It has a five-year warranty. It is made in the USA with parts from Cambodia and Viet Nam.

Over the years whenever I decided to upgrade my canister vacuums the old ones would go out to the garage to be used mostly to clean the cars. The garage vac recently stopped working and I needed to replace it. I decided that I would get a cordless one and eliminate the hassle of having cords. I chose the Milwaukee M12 Fuel 1.6 Gallon Wet/Dry vacuum. My experience with the Milwaukee brand has been a good one, I already have one of their tools that uses the M12 battery so I received the tool only option ( model 0960-20) of this vac. It comes with a crevice tool, a utility nozzle ( upholstery), a hose, filter and a wall mount all nicely stored inside the vac (see picture). It has a maximum air flow of 42 CFM, wet capacity of 1.6 gallons and dry of 1.5 gallons, it weighs 9.7 lbs (without battery) Its size is 13.7”x8.7”x11.9”. Run-time is 14 minutes on high and 26 minutes on low. Took it out to the car and it works like a champ. The low setting worked quite well cleaning the carpet and upholstery and the high setting has excellent suction. The only downside is that the hose I very short and you have pull on it quite a bit to get it longer, this may remedy itself after many uses. I would recommend this vac.

The best feature of the MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL PACKOUT 2.5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum is that it fits into the Packout stack of tools. The vacuum measures ~16 inches wide, ~13 inches tall and 10 ½ inches deep (front to back). It looks like a large lunch box. But inside is a great storage compartment for a crevice tool, a utility nozzle, hose adaptor and battery compartment. A vacuum hose, approximately 3 ft. long is wrapped around and stored nicely in the side of the vacuum. This vacuum is designed so when you show up at the job you have everything you need to vacuum up any debris, and since it powered with a battery you don’t even need to plug it in. On the bottom half of the unit are 2 large latches this allows access to the filter and the debris collection box. The filter is easily removed when rotated counterclockwise. The filter should be removed if vacuuming up water. The filter fits over the float valve cage which protects the vacuum fan/motor. There is a bracket on the end of the dirt compartment which guides the inlet nozzle and helps with orientation and reassembly of the bottom half of the vacuum to the top half. The vacuum hose can be relocated to the exhaust side of the vacuum to make it a blower hose. The on/off switch is located left side of the vacuum and has 2 speeds, high and low. This vacuum is great little unit. The only thing that needs work is the hose adapter provided as an accessory. It is so slick and poorly tapered it won’t stay inserted in any hose, hose extension nozzle or tool I have. I think duct tape is the only thing that will make the hose adapter work. This a very minor issue. Overall, I would give the MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL PACKOUT 2.5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum 5 stars. It vacuums up small debris and is very portable and has everything you need for a small clean up job.

I received my Milwaukee fuel 12-volt vacuum today; I used an XC4.0 battery to try this vacuum out. Milwaukee claims this 12-volt vacuum is more powerful than the competitor's 20-volt portable vacuum. I have the competitor's 20-volt model, and after trying out this Milwaukee 12-volt vacuum, they are correct; this Milwaukee is more powerful than my other brand 20-volt model. Here are some of the features I like about this Milwaukee vacuum. It comes with an easy twist on-off washable HEPA filter, or it can be tapped against a garbage can to clean. The vacuum is quieter than my other brand vacuum. It can be used as a blower by removing the hose from the vacuum and placing it in the blower port. The vacuum has an auto shut off feature when using to pick up liquids, and you do not need to remove the filter (it is a wet/dry filter) The vacuum has a two-speed on-off switch, which is sealed with a rubber boot. My first test for this Milwaukee 12 -volt vacuum was to vacuum my car's dark-colored interior after bringing my dog back from the dog park. It worked great, lots of power, and it was fast. Then I used it to pick up hundreds of pine needles from my artificial Christmas tree (which sheds more than a real one). It worked better than I had expected. Overall, this Milwaukee 12-volt portable vacuum has strong suction, is easy to maintain, lightweight and powerful and has a large capacity for a compact vacuum.

I really like this vacuum. I also have the 0880-20 so i am also able to you all a comparison opinion. This new version is well made and the features stand out as Milwaukee quality. The high/low speed feature is nice and will be useful for areas that you don't want to be a nuisance. The hose tip interchange with adapter is a nice feature that i missed on my 0880 version. The packout features really are what gives this vac the edge, but if you are not a packout user, I would honestly recommend the 0880-20 for normal cleanup needs. The power/suction of this and the previous version is not that much different. They both have plenty of oomph, with this new version having a bit more suction............I don't know what they are comparing to in regards to the 60% more suction claim. I'd say it's more like 10% over the older version. But, the fact that this one is brushless means it'll last forever and not become louder as time goes due to a brushed motor wearing out. The only niggle i have with this one is that the 2 attachments fit in the upper compartment, but the hose tip does not when using an 8.0 battery, so plan on finding a place to keep it where you won't lose it.

When I look at this vacuum I compare it to the slightly smaller Milwaukee Vacuum I already had (the 2 gal one). The first thing I see is this one costs twice what I paid for the 2 gallon one. But while it is bigger I can’t see much of a difference in weight. I can’t really feel the difference. So what you get for the additional money is more capacity, the utility of working with the rest of the packout stuff including the cart if you have that. But the most striking thing that I noticed after firing this one up is how much quieter it is than the other one. The difference really is striking and you notice it immediately. This one is far quieter. I love my 2 gallon one. I have had it about 2 years and I still consider it by far the best portable vacuum I have every had. And I have never had one ounce of regret about buying it. But if I had to listen to it a lot regularly I would consider this alone perhaps to be worth the price difference because the 2 gal is a lot louder. So you do get more for that higher price. And if you need the added volume it may be the one for you. If you are just doing small jobs and don’t need the extra volume (0.5 gal more) and don’t mind the noise the smaller one is hard to beat when choosing between this one and that one as far as value. So each has its place. I’m glad to have both and I will use both. One nice thing if you have both is it looks like it uses the same filter as the 2 gallon one so you don’t have to buy different filters to keep a spare on hand. I also like that the hose wraps around the outside where it is available quickly without opening up unlike the smaller one. One thing I wish is that the top had a place for a couple of the attachments so you could stash them there and grab them without opening it up. This one also has 2 speeds where the other has only one speed. So that is another delta between the two. I can’t see being disappointed with either one of them.

I’ve had the m18 version of this and let had several other portable vacs in the past and this little m12 vac is killer. Everything about it is nice, super compact. Has as much power as the m18 version and lasts just as long. Plus batteries cost less so why wouldn’t this make sense. Although they did tack on an additional 30 bucks compared to the 18v version probably for that reason alone haha, abut it does look even nicer than the m18. The m12 vac works great. Super nice to carry while cleaning up. It’s a perfect size, perfect weight, looks awesome.

Great quality product, well made and very compact. I really hoped for even more suction power. It's great that all the accessories are stored on the vacuum so convenient. Also, great not to have an electric cord to deal with while working. I do wish a brush attachment was included. We have used it around the house, boat, and its great to use in the car. It is so durable that I see it lasting for many years to come.

I’m proud to own and review the new M18 Fuel Packout small shop vac everyone has been waiting for! I have the 2 Gal. Brushed vacuum. As compared with the similar brushed model, the Fuel Packout is twice as quiet as the brushed and also seems to have twice the suction power, the new Fuel vacuum uses the exact same filter cartridge as the older brushed vacuum, so a new filter replacement should be waiting at your local H.D. Or Ace. This vacuum feels even lighter and less bulky than the Brushed vac. Even with a 12.0 battery installed. Very easy and convenient to pick up and carry around to clean different area messes. The top carry handle does fold down to stow on either side! With a 12.0 you get a TON of run time, and with 2 power levels to choose from! Perfect and seamless transition between power levels while it’s already running thanks to the redlink intelligence on the tool. This vac works awesome for cleaning out the cabs of many different vehicles and equipment, sucks up chunks of dirt, loose change, pea stones, and 3/8 threaded nuts in the blink of an eye!! This vacuum has so much potential and flexibility it will help with whatever types of area mess you may encounter On or off the job site! works just as amazingly around the house, in the basement or garage and to clean up messes in various hobby workshops too! I wholeheartedly recommend this product if you are in the market for a portable cordless shop vac. I would like to see Milwaukee come up with a longer hose for this vacuum like they did with the 9 foot extension hose for the backpack vacuum.

The Milwaukee wet/dry vacuum solves a lot of issues we have all had with the typical electric powered vac. First of all, the Milwaukee is compact, it can be used while attached to the "Packout" modular system. The hose stretchers/expands out about four (4) feet but, retracts, then can be stored onboard. On the hose, you can remove the ends to attach the "power tool" adapter. Note: Rotate the fitting "clockwise" to remove. The accessories store on board, no more throwing them in the reservoir. I like that you can pick it up from the sides or flip up the handle to move around. I am currently using a 6mAH battery, but you can use any M18 batt. It can be used as a blower, and it even has a 2-speed motor. If you notice pic. four (4), this is where you attach the fleece dust bag for "fine" dust pick up, purchased separately. On page five (5) of the manual, they recommend using a foam filter for wet pick up, for this kind of money you would think they would throw one in. So far, I have used it to vac. out the windowsills and misc. spots. As far as noise low speed is tolerable, high speed, while quieter than my electric, still gets annoying quickly. From what I read into the literature an 8mAH battery seems to be the recommended size for at least 30 minutes of run time. Depending on how you use this, and what batteries, if any, you have on hand, you will have to determine battery size for run time expected. For wet pick up, I am thinking the 12mAH would be best, power and run time. This is one top of the line wet/dry vacuums.

The Milwaukee Brand, M18 FUEL PACKOUT 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 2.5 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool-Only), has outstanding suction and air flow in a portable battery-operated vacuum. The vacuum incorporates a two-speed motor, the lower speed is more useful for collecting lighter debris leaving heavier ones behind. Using my digital manometer, the vacuum measured an amazing 43-inches water column. The air flow is such that it gobbles up anything nearby, including nuts, bolts, washers, and screws. The sound volume and tone of the vacuum is low and reasonable, listed at only 87 dB, yet sounds quieter. A Milwaukee extra capacity 5 amp-hour battery will power the vacuum as well as a more powerful battery with no loss in power, only providing somewhat reduced operating time over higher capacity batteries. Don’t be fooled by the short appearance of the expandable vacuum hose, it will stretch out to a full 8-feet in length and retract to its compact length for storage. The hose can be connected to the exhaust port to operate as a blower, while air flow from the nozzle is strong at 50CFM, it loses force quickly away from the nozzle. There is one improvement I think Milwaukee could make to improve the performance of the vacuum hose. While cleaning up my workbench and workshop floor, the hose plugged up twice with wood chips and metal shavings at a restriction in the vacuum hose locking coupler (see photo). In addition to being a good portable lunch box size vacuum all alone, it features Packout system compatibility locking into Packout boxes and allowing Packout components to be attached to the lid. Despite the hose plugging twice, I did not feel the overall good performance of this vacuum justified less than a 5 of 5 rating.

Like all other Milwaukee tools, a tool you can trust. I have used the Milwaukee M-18 tool platform for over a decade now, and have never been let down, neither by the tool or the battery. Especially the batteries, which have far outlasted other cordless tools I have used in the past 20 years. This is an excellent vacuum with the power and tools to do anything, whether inside the house, in the garage, or using in the driveway to clean out my truck. It was made to be moved around, with the excellent, rugged handle on top that can be ‘parked’ on either side of the box. The hose stores easily around the perimeter of the vacuum and it contains three tools just inside the upper portion, where your battery goes. They include a wide, flat head, a crevice tool, and the best part? It includes a connector that will fit a lot of common tools, such as sander, etc., while you work. NOTE: When removing the stock tip to replace with the accessory tip - it unscrews clockwise, NOT counterclockwise. All tools store easily and can’t get lost while moving it from one job to the next. It also includes a heavy duty paper element that should serve well. And since the tool is wet/dry, it can be used for emergency spills or overruns, inside or out. And the best part? The on/off switch has a High and Low position, to conserve power when you can. Yippee! For small jobs I even grab this vacuum instead of the upright house vacuum for small jobs. A good, fair price for a great tool!

This is a new design from Milwaukee. There are at least three other 18V Wet/Dry vac models. This is 2.7 Gal or 2.5 in the other manual, and has onboard tool storage and a tucked in 6-foot retracting coiled hose. There is a carry handle that tucks away and the vacuum is part of the PACKOUT system. Definitely quieter than expected and better suction and air blowing than expected. The hose is easy to move from blow to suck and has very good suction. There are 2 speeds and the low is battery conservation mode but the high is excellent. I ran it 20 minutes on high and had power left with a 5.0 HO battery. Claims to lift a head of water 47”. Also, the 50 CFM suction is able to connect to the blower exhaust. The suction is 60% better and less than 90db on high power. About 30 minutes run on high and 50 minutes run on low with an 8.0 HO Battery. Comes with an adapter to fit other dusty tools and other attachments. High - Off or Low on the power switch. It’s great for small one-man operations that you clean as you go. Big areas need more resources and a longer hose. This is an excellent tool for most jobs that only need 1-2 gallons of pick up. Easy filter change and disposable bags are optioned. They recommend a filter bag to extend the life of the filter and catch more debris. An excellent add to a pack out kit.

This M18 FUEL PACKOUT 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 2.7 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum is proving to be quite helpful around the house and shop. It comes with Crevice Tool, Floor/Bench Tool, Nozzle, and Power Tool Adapter. The tools and included hose all store nicely out of the way. It also includes a HEPA Filter. The filter is very easy to remove for cleaning/replacement or for wet vacuuming. With 2 speeds, it has sufficient suction for most jobs, and can be used as a blower. At only 87db, it’s much quieter than my other shop vac. It uses Milwaukee’s FUEL brushless motor technology which runs cooler, and longer per charge, than brush type motors. At only about 12-1/2 lbs. it will be handy to use for quick cleanup of the bench and surrounding area. And, it will be much easier than the 16 Gal. vac. for this aging guy to carry up and down the ladder for cleaning the swamp cooler on the roof. It will be great for quick cleanup of small messes from fix-it jobs in the house. I’ll likely get the Fleece Dust Bags to use with fine dust like the sander produces, or even sheetrock dust. As a DIY Homeowner, I won’t be using the PACKOUT feature, but is great for users like my contractor sons. Since this is a (Tool Only) item from the SEEDS program, I also received a XC 5.0A Battery and Charger to use for testing. The battery charged up fairly quickly and at 5.0A, it should easily get most jobs done. I have grown very fond of my Milwaukee cordless tools and this is going to be no exception.

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.

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.

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.

The vacuum is extremely convenient to utilize on the job site because it is battery powered. It has awesome strength and gets the job done and it's extremely easy to clean.

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.

I do a lot of work in residential and businesses. Was tired of dragging an extension cord around. With a 5.0 battery you can not beat the suction power on this vacuum.

The Milwaukee 18 volt Cordless 2 Gallon Wet / Dry Vacuum is the perfect on the go vacuum. It generates plenty of suction and has been able to stand up to any mess I have thrown at it. It is nice and compact and it has on-board storage for the utility nozzle as well as the crevice tool and hose that can extend to approximately six fee. The vacuum comes equipped with a HEPA filter and can run for approximately 30 minutes on a 9.0Ah 18 volt battery. The vacuum can accommodate any size 18 volt battery from the 1.5Ah to the 12.0Ah batteries. Keep in mind that based on the size battery you use will affect run time. The tool box design makes it super easy to pick up and carry just about anywhere, whether that be around the house for those small everyday messes, cleaning your car, around the job site or anywhere else you can imagine. The size and shape allows for easy storage, whether it be in the trunk of your car or in your workshop. Would highly recommend this vacuum. It truly is the perfect size / weight combining maneuverability, power, and convenience all into one.

As a facility manager for a 77,000 sq ft Church, we acquired one Milwaukee ($248) as a test to compare against a ProTeam GoFree Flex Pro Battery Powered Backpack ($1488). The only complaints I have received after 46 days of use (one 12.0 battery per shift) is: -- The carpet head does not like to roll freely over the commercial close knit style carpet. I speculate it is due to the rubber catch blade on the bottom of the head that is causing the hangup. (Suggestion, perhaps a braided Aramid fiber, close weave, with a nylon core for rigidity would act as an appropriate air dam/catch and be resistant enough for commercial use? If you chose this design idea, please reach out to compensate the Church) My staff reports the working solution to be an extreme angle of attack, basically, extend tube all the way out and vacuum as far ahead of you as you can reach, this takes the downward force off the back of the head allowing it to spread more evenly on its 4 small wheels. -- Suction becomes noticeably diminished when the internal particle vortex screen becomes plugged with dust bunnies or, as shown by pictures, cellulose insulation. Fortunately, the design of the unit is easy enough to clear out the blockage, you'll just get a little messy doing so. You'll know when the unit is plugged up when the pitch of the exhaust changes to a higher tone. My staff agrees that the 12.0 battery pack is perfect to handle one shift on the high setting- they all are amazed at how quiet the unit is, as am I, the ease in which to dump its contents and the fit and finish of the components. Overall, we are very pleased with this unit. I would recommend this for use on hard dry surfaces, close office style knit carpet, and use for spot cleaning. I plan to purchase 2 more for use in our facility.

Is vacuum is great for hard floor cleaning, But not great for big debris. Anything bigger than a drywall screw. I find myself clean the filter more often than empty. The dust canister. Have not had this for very long and I run it on the big batteries. I wish there was a way I Could return the item As I have not had it any more than 2 months.

Handy Vacuum, just keep filter and hose clean and it has a lot of suction. Works great as a wet vac too, just remember to take off filter first.

This vacuum is awesome. Very quiet and very powerful. A must have.

The back pack vacuum is a good solution for the home owner to keep the garage or shop clean. For the contractor that has to keep the site clean. And the detailer that is working on a car a portable way to clean and keep it moving.
