comp56 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 First thoughts..... nice and light compact for a quick test 20.34 minutes straight up run time with a fully charged m18 5.0 battery Powerful for about 19 minutes after that it lost about 50% power but still ran. Picked it up on sale for $99 I know in the USA that is regular price but here it is $169 reg...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glassey Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Yeah it's not a bad vac by any means. I do wish the run time was longer. Seams like 20 minutes is the time I ran it on a 3.0, a 4.0 and a 5.0. All were about the same run time. Maybe the new 9.0 will get you 30 minutes lol. But I tell you for that quick little 2-3 minutes clean up job, it's great. Thanks Comp for posting.

Mondo1310 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've thinking about getting one of these for cleaning car with. 19min is more than enough run time for that. Nice pick up comp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk No, the fan isn't really a battery adapter, just a wall wart with the typical circular plug a house phone would have. This vacuum is definitely great for cleaning vehicles out, but it is also the loudest vacuum I've ever used lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Julian Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've been wanting to get one of these, but I hesitate buying anything before any potential product announcements. If there's nothing new, then I'll pick one up. I do some irrigation work and the vac will be handy for sucking water out of the hole I dig to repair pvc lines in place of my hand pump.

sparky603 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Have had one for a couple of years now, no complaints - though, would love to see an update to it come out of the symposium. I've never needed more than one charged 4.0 to clean up after myself on the job with it, and it's dang handy to have for sucking a pull string through a conduit without needing 120v available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khariV Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Both of the Milwaukee vacuums are super loud. I actually went with the Ryobi 18v hand vac with the cool charge-o-matic wall mount for small cleanups because it's so much quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
