Love all of your reviews man, keep up the good work!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching and for the comments.

[@StevenNovak]

This is perfect for service in the field. Buying one now-Locksmith

[@melvinmccoy9830]

Good video and review.

[@theperfectpaintertoolreview]

Some advice everyone, remove the particle separator or it will get clogged pretty often and annoy u. U will not lose suction. It doesn't have the most suction to begin with, but it's a very versatile vacuum.

[@jess19741975]

thank you for the advice made such a difference

[@DaveChurchill]

Which part is the particle separator?

[@inlinesix1187]

@@DaveChurchilldid you ever find a answer to this? If so what is it?

[@DaveChurchill]

@@inlinesix1187 Nope. I've played around with it a bit and never really figured it out. In the end it was too heavy for general home use so it's relegated to the garage now where the filter doesn't matter

[@inlinesix1187]

@@DaveChurchill ok thanks for letting me know

[@stevetekrv5791]

Great review man! This vacuum is going to be perfect for my RV and my truck. And it's hella cheaper than a Dyson! (and most other cordless vacs that are semi-decent). :-)

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Right on! Just FYI, it is a bit bulkier and heavier than a Dyson, but I get what you're saying. The battery will definitely last longer than the Dyson. Thanks for watching.

[@pham7878]

Great video!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thank you very much.

[@austinriley2433]

I want it to use on carpet jobs. The narrow crow stapler is my favorite tool

[@ramenbear]

A great way to introduce the wife to the Milwaukee tool family.

sexist alert 🚨

[@question_it_701]

Other than it ONLY works on hardwood and flat hotel carpet. And it doesn't turn well. Doesn't work for "household" carpet. Worst M18 I've owned.

[@joebrown9621]

For the price it's great very competitive to a Dyson vacuum if use in a semi commercial setting say vacuuming stairwells are haul ways in a small condo or apartment complex with the M18 battery line there's options

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That's a great point. Thanks for watching.

[@geraldmorain3166]

Put a handle on top with attachment points for shoulder strap needs longer flex hose and extention tube to vacuum out upper cabinets

[@donnysanner342]

Great review brother , I've been on the fence with this vacuum however after watching your video I think I'll give it a shot...... after all....clean up is part of the job too !!! Do you know if this motor takes advantage of the high output batteries , perhaps giving it some more power. Here's a little tip that I thought everyone knew about but apparently that's not the case. On my vacs , Any attachments that touch the ground I glue very strong magnets that come close to touching the floor...about the same height as the attachment.....that's helps a lot when small pieces of metal that are too heavy to be picked up by the vacuum...and where it really help is with small clipping of corner bead that love to get stuck in the hose. Take it or leave it.....it works for me. Sorry for the long winded post. P.S. Don't skimp out on the magnets....buy good strong ones and you won't regret it.

[@jimmysanders505]

that's a good tip, thanks

[@kylemchugh276]

Is the plastic deberé separator supposed to spin . My vacuum keeps having the red light go on and I’m just sucking up dust

[@kevin072991]

Idk if you’ve tested the Craftsman but if you have. How do they compare? I bought the craftsman for my gf and she loves it but would love one for my garage and it being Milwaukee makes me want to buy it 😅

[@walkersonneville5036]

My wife will love this vac❤️

[@billybrownstar]

It will not work in most "home" environments. It ONLY works on concrete, wood, flat commercial/hotel carpet. It does not work on a "normal" household carpet. It sucks down, and the light turns red and won't move.

[@walkersonneville5036]

I bought this vacuum, I am very sad that I bought it. The only consolation I have is that it came with a 5 amp battery for $179. This thing is no good for shop or home. The hepa filter clogs up in seconds with sawdust. If you take the filter out and just use the sponge filter it blows dust everywhere. Forget about drywall dust. This thing's a waste of space. It's too big and bulky for my wife to use. And the attachments are harder than crap to undo and reattach. This is the only thing from Milwaukee that I would give 1 out of 10 stars.

[@michaelperson3897]

Comes with 5ah battery now for 199. I'm buying it

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That's a great deal. We love this thing. It's very handy. Thanks for watching.

[@littlet23]

I agree. It will barely pick up drywall dust. Actually it doesn’t without getting clogged after a few passes. I love Milwaukee but I swear this is the worst tool I’ve ever bought. I spend more time trying to get it unclogged than anything

[@danlux4954]

Compared to the other vacuums they make is it a good deal?

[@geraldmorain3166]

A couple of eye screws handle screwed into a piece of wood alien taped to top needs longer or two flex hoses

[@niceguy1183]

A vacuum review without using it on carpet? I have short carpet in my shop office that I would use it for.

[@JackTheTool]

I know these are mainly aimed at industrial use ect, but would these run well in the home ?

[@justingolden]

i bought one for around the house after losing the charger for my last vacuum. it's great for pet hair. although it does clog on my husky's hair it is very easy and quick to clean it out and keep going. if you already have milwaukee tools i'd recommend it .

[@techseth]

Dyson: we are king Milwaukee: hold my creativity as I beat you with the advantage of a third of a price and interchangeable batteries.

[@Monsieur405]

This is what I'm wondering. Is the Dyson really worth the extra cash if I'm already on the Milwaukee battery line.

[@JDMCARSCIVIC]

Dyson is trash never will have one again

[@donalexey]

This is just pain to use. It does not have enough room in the container for a bigger dust, it does not have a hepa filter big enough for smaller dust (like cement dust). It is 4 pieces to clean. It will require cleaning every 2-3 minutes of jobsite work. The opening for the canister is at the bottom! So if you put it on something you could probably get it open. Hose is small and cheap. Why do you need 2 similar floor attachments? And all those flows for 200 bare tool?!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Sounds like it's a bad fit for you. Thanks for watching.

[@jimwall7537]

This thing is horrible…for a shop you need a shopvac.

[@NiqqaJim]

It’s not designed to get a ton fine dust up. That’s what a shop vac is for which you clearly stated. Not sure why you even commented

[@TaintedMojo]

I love my Milwaukee tools but I’d have to skip this $200 oversized Dustbuster. Maybe if they sold it for 50 dollars.....

[@Shoptoolreviews]

It's quite a bit better than that, but we understand what you're saying. If you don't have a real need for it, then it's a pretty hefty price. Thanks for watching.

[@TheCamaro5]

It’s a cordless vacume that can be used as a shop vac or for you living room or a job site. It’s Camparable to a fusion but used Milwaukee batteries which are the best on the market. This will replace my house vac my shop vac and my truck vac. Well worth the price.

[@Zozo806]

@@TheCamaro5 best batterys on the market? You know that Milwaukee, Ryobi, Ridget and Bosch use the same battery tech just with different names? So why Milwaukee is the best, because you like it the most?

@@Shoptoolreviews why do you apologize or make excuses for every negative comment? Its pretty obvious your doing a commercial for Milwaukee. This is a typical bias review aimed at selling vacuums. If you weren't biased you would not feel a need to defend the product. That's why it's hard to find a real unbiased review for anything anymore. Everyone on KZbin is shilling for a buck. It looks like a lot of plastic junk parts.
