I just received the M18 2880-20 Vacuum yesterday and wanted to report my first thoughts about it. I installed the M18 XC battery and started to vacuum out my truck and with the supplied crevice tool, the vacuum worked great, plenty of suction, cleaned all the tight spots and cornor areas. I then switched to the supplied wide nozzle and tried to vacuum the carpet- NO GO. With the wide nozzle there was not enough suction to clean the truck carpet of the short grass, dried mud, sand etc. The wide nozzle might work for dirt, sawdust, or shavings on a work bench but it ain't got the suck for using it on carpet. The XC Battery lasted 11 minutes, then I installed it with a 5.0 Battery which lasted about 17 minutes to finish the job. This little vacuum will be great for the smaller jobs, but it isn't for cleaning the whole shop. But being able to carry it right to the spot that needs to be cleaned up without dragging an extension cord around will be great. The one thing I dislike about the 0880-20 is the short (around 6 feet) Vacuum hose. While cleaning the truck interior, trying to reach the center of the cab with vacuum on the ground it was a stretch and got a little tiring attemempting to hold the hose stretched out to finish the job. I will be looking around to find another hose about 9-10 feet long to use with this vacuum. Overall I like the 0880-20, I would like to see a little more power, but what it has works good. On a scale of 1-10 I would give the 0880-20 a 8.5 rating
