Cordless Vacuum for Makita 18V Battery, 5 in 1 Handheld Electric Vacuum Cleaner with 500W Powerful Motor, 46 CFM Portable Hand Vacuum with Filtration HEPA for Floor, Carpet, Car (Battery Not Included)

Like every other Milwaukee tool I've used, this one works very, very well. It has plenty of suction and it's easy to empty. HOWEVER, 1) make sure you have extra batteries if you have a big job, and 2) also make sure you have plenty of compressed air, either from a compressor or from cans, to clean the filter. It does a good job of catching very fine dust from sanding, but like the company's battery-powered hand-held sander, it generates AND picks up a LOT of dust and must not only be emptied frequently but the compressed air is necessary to keep the filter clean. It's has baffles and dust fills up & sticks between the baffles, requiring compressed air to thoroughly clean. Other than that, enjoy! :)

This has great suction. Light weight to use. I can easily get under my sectional couch which had been an issue with any other portable sweeper. Good quality without the high sticker price. Just turn it on and go! The cordless feature makes it easy to use anywhere from house to car to camper. Plan on buying a 2nd to keep in the camper. Only thing we don't like is it uses up batter power pretty quickly so not ideal for household use but great for car, boat, and camper.

Functionally, it works. But you shouldn't buy one of these, at least not for Milwaukee batteries, as it exceeds the specs for the batteries. As soon I run it, if I then press the battery-charge-level button on the battery, it flashes. Milwaukee doesn't share the meaning of the error codes, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that it's drawing more current than the batteries are designed to handle. Vacuum cleaners are kinda famous for pulling a lot of current as they spin the motor up. Given that the batteries cost more than the unit, you'll be better off paying for one that has a proper current-limiting startup circuit. Beyond that, note that the seller claims it's "protected by a US Patent". That's true, it is. But the patent they cite is a "design patent", which just covers the look of the thing. So all that patent tells you is that nobody else is going to be able to legally sell a vacuum that looks just like this one. It doesn't tell you that the workings of it aren't infringing on somebody else's patents. If you don't mind chancing the battery light, it works pretty well for most things, but I got it specifically to help pick up some of the crumbs from the composite decking that I work on. For that, it struggles because the hose outflow is very close to the filter, so these crumbs (which are long and stringy) clog up quickly. Emptying out the bin is not really a hassle, unless you're having to do after 30 seconds of vacuuming, like I was. If it's just sawdust or something, it'll not clog up like that, so YMMV. Finally, this thing works okay on the less-expensive "Compact Power" battery line from Milwaukee (used in drills, for example), but it runs a whole lot better on the high-output batteries designed for circular saws. But given those batteries start at $150, it's not gonna get another taste of mine.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cordless vacuum! This vacuum is powerful and easy to use. The suction is strong for its size, and the different attachments make it perfect for cleaning floors, carpets, and even the car. The battery lasts well, and the HEPA filter works great. Lightweight and convenient — definitely worth it!

Took forever to get here but works well. Using genuine Milwaukee M18 battery and have not had a problem with these. Wands don't have an interlocking mechanism but pressure fit. Works OK. Waste basket hard to re-install until you get the knack of how to do it. Cleans very well, comes with a spare filter. One reviewer reported that his batteries were ruined by this but I haven't had a problem. Battery does not clip in tightly so you must be careful. Those that complained that a battery and charger were not included did not read the posting. They also make a model for DeWalt batteries. Have only recharged my battery once and seemed to run pretty good for fairly long time getting down to 2 lights from 4. Has very good suction and is loud. Chinese production, will see how long it lasts. Not sure how this works on all of the counterfeit M18 batteries. Not as fancy as a full time heavy duty but good for fast cleanups.

Powerful and Reliable — A Must-Have Cordless Vacuum! This cordless vacuum exceeded my expectations! The suction power is easily a 5/5 — it handles everything I throw at it. From sawdust in the workshop to pet hair in the car and general messes around the house, this vacuum just works. It’s surprisingly powerful for its size and super versatile. Yes, it's a bit loud, but honestly, that's a small tradeoff for the performance it delivers. The design is solid, and it feels like it was built to last. Proud to have this in my gear — highly recommended!

The vacuum quality is great Great vacuuming power Picks up nicely

This vacuum is very powerful and there is no problem with the suction and it works very well. However, after you use your Milwaukee batteries with it, the batteries will no longer fit well in your Milwaukee product. The pins were misaligned on my batteries after using them on this. Now when I try to use them the fit on my drill is so loose that my drill will start and stop. I had to buy new batteries for my drill. In addition, the batteries are drained very fast on this product, if you get 5 minutes of run time you're doing good. If they supply a high capacity battery with it they will have a great product.

Brilliant piece of kit. I have had mine for nearly a year and I have to order another one as my wife has taken ' ownership ' of mine. Bought to replace a Makita Stick Vacuum and it is in a completely differant league for way under half the cost. I wanted to leave it this long before I wrote a review to see haw it faired and it is as good today as the day I bought it.

Muy complicado quitar el filtro. Necesitas jna bateria de las grandotas para aspirar mas de una habitación. La de 1.5 solo es para 7 minutos

I have had this for over a month. Although it does a good job vacuuming, the unit isn’t very sturdy. One of the tubes has cracked as the material is very thin. I repaired it using glue and a worm drive hose clip.

I already have the original DeWALT vac, just received this one and tried it to clean the living room, around 10 minutes and the 5Amp battery still has 2 blocks juice. It's exactly as the same with the original one, but this one has more accessories and comes with one extra HEPA filter. Bettery little heated up but i was not sure if this was also happening with the original vac, just noticed this since i read from other reviews. I'm totally happy with my purchase as i paid less than half the price of the Dewalt.

Only just received this product but impress to date, it is louder than expected but that is to be expected as it sucks really well. As per other reviews I would highly recommend buying filter covers to protect dust and large items getting stuck in the filter as it does take time to get these clean again. Or buy spare filters so it can be swapped over and the wet one can be left to dry.
