Milwaukee 18V 7.5L Wet/Dry Vacuum Skin M18WDV-0

The Milwaukee Cordless Vacuum is a lot more different than usual shop vacuums that I have used in the past. The Milwaukee can be taken off the wheels , but the wheel base bakes it easy to roll the vacuum around. The wheels also can be locked if you don't wont it to move. The hose is heavy duty and is long to reach longer areas. It comes with two accessories to vacuum in tight places. It is easy to open the lid and empty the contents of the holed area.

Cool Product

Its very easy to use and not loud at all. Works great battery lasts about half hour or more, easy to charge. I fish and walk the beaches so Im always dragging sand in my truck. Its nice and easy to just go in the back and clean up. Only negative thing is the hose can get clogged very easy. Doesnt happen in the hose but the small opening into the bottom(access)

Loud, but enough suction to be useful for small stuff.

I bought this product lightly used. My first thought when turning it on was that it's loud. Then again, most shop vacs are. It definitely produces enough suction to be useful, especially with the regular nozzle and the detail tool. The 1 1/4" hose really isn't that big, so I've had a few problems with wood scraps getting stuck in the ridges of the hose. Compared to a 5+ gallon shop vac, it can't handle much fine dust before clogging the filter. The filter can be banged out like any other, but it's something to keep in mind. Milwaukee's backpack vac or maybe one of the compact models with pre-separation would be a better choice for that task. As another reviewer mentioned, having the switch on the same side as the hose outlet would make it easier to toggle the power, ... MoreI bought this product lightly used.

Milwaukee M18 Cordless Vac

Love this vac! Has good power and suction. It's tough, and can be used as a bench. I power it with 4 or 5ah batteries as it will suck the juice. Like the tool storage and cleanable filter. Its not a quiet vac but how many are?! Left mine in the bed of my truck while I washed it, oops. It got a little wet but didn't phase it a bit. The only thing that would be nice is the ability to plug it in at times, like the Dewalt, but I like the features of this one better. The portability and quality of this tool puts a smile on my face, Would buy it again!

Milwaukee vac

Great product of course from Milwaukee. Compact and easy to use. My only complaint would be, it eats batteries, and will buy a larger battery. But performance is right up there with any corded vac. If you ate after a quality cordless vac, this is the one.

Nicely engineered

Nice design, convenient and great for working inside. Wet and dry, easy to empty and doubles as a blower. Great being able to easily tuck away the hose and accessories and nice big conveniently located switch that's accessible with the lid open or closed. Only wish it had a longer hose and accessory extension pieces to more easily vac a floor.

One of the best tools I own

I own about 20 battery operated tools, most of them in the 18v and 12v Milwaukee series. I have been using this vacuum for about five years now. It is powerful, versatile and I have used the crap out of the first one. I bought this new one as a back up. I have used it as Wet vac when fixing sprinklers, sucking up mud and water with gusto. A quick thorough cleaning and she is good to go. The only challenge is using the old style Li batteries from aftermarket providers. Those super light batteries are better performers than the OEM, but because of their light weight they do not always remain seated in the battery slot and it can lose power, a quick giggle and I am back in business. I added some thick tape ramps to better secure on my old one. I have yet to find ... MoreI own about 20 battery operated tools, most of them in the 18v and 12v Milwaukee series.

Portable and powerful wet & dry vacuum

I have house plans which seem to drop their large leaves. A smaller convenience vacuums dont have a large storage compartment. They work fine for dust and small items that you want to clean up. Plant leaves are much larger and you need a vacuum that has more storage capacity for bulky he leaves. This Milwaukee battery product is perfect. The vacuum is portable so I dont have to unplug the cord like on many other shop vacs, as I walk from room to room vacuuming up plant leaves. It also has the capacity and design to vacuum up water or other spilled liquids. I highly recommend this product and especially if youre already using the Milwaukee tool systems that have interchangeable high-quality batteries. If you dont already use the Milwaukee tool system youll also have ... MoreI have house plans which seem to drop their large leaves.

Vacuum

The vacuum is just perfect performs great ,i threw my old hand held away. I recommend this to everyone it will make vacuuming the house,car ,motorhome really easy.

Wife was skeptical when pkg arrived in mail , but now is a Milwaukee convert

This has been one of the absolute best purchases I have ever made. My wife uses it as much as I do & she was admittedly skeptical when the box arrived in the mail. It is heavier (than a handvac), but it has better suction, has bigger capacity to hold dirt/debris, and is lighter than our dyson cinetic big ball vacuum. My wife loves that it is cordless & I love that it uses the same batteries that I already had for my Milwaukee drill & Milwaukee string trimmer/blower combo. My wife. kids, & I now use this as our go to vac for cleaning out the cars, & for cleaning around the house (one person runs the big vac on the floors & other person uses this for everywhere else).
