COOL DOWN! Milwaukee M18 18" Brushless Hybrid Fan [0821-20]

[@weldonpinder7295]

If it was a charger it would've put the icing on the cake

[@TheKurtTribute]

That icing however would be an additional $150

[@rustysyrus4931]

Would be worth it for me also!

[@steffendetrick]

@@TheKurtTribute Milwaukee could’ve made it a standard charger and sold it at the same price and still had plenty of room for profit.

[@shanew7361]

Adding a mister function would be the icing.

[@TheKurtTribute]

@@steffendetrick I’m not saying they couldn’t, simply that they won’t do it.

[@PaulStregevsky]

I use an M18 battery with a Ryobi adapter to power a similar Ryobi 18V fan. The Ryobi is decent but it uses a brushed motor. You can now buy similar-size battery fans from Ryobi 40V, Ego 56V, and, Ridgid 18V. They're all quite heavy--more transportable than portable.

[@2down4up]

My new Ryobi 40v 20” air cannon fan may well be the best Ryobi tool, perhaps the best cordless tool in terms of quality of life improvements, I’ve ever bought bar none!!! However she is a little big and surprisingly thirsty for watts even on low. So when I’m in smaller spaces and need more runtime but still want a bunch of air moving, I’d love an 18” fan. I have both Ridgid and Milwaukee batteries as well as Ryobi 18v batteries. I’ve got pretty much the entire TTI lineup available at homeless despot. Between the Ridgid 18” and the Milwaukee 18”, which would you pick if you could pick just one? You’re the only channel I’m aware of that has reviewed both. I’m assuming none of the Ryobi 18” really compare. Let me know if I’m wrong.

[@JohnOBryan]

The fact that Milwaukee refuses to allow battery charging on products which also support an electrical connection is just ridiculous.

[@madangel2002]

They do on certain products, some of thier radios charge the battery but with how many barriers this fan will go through you’re better off buying a rapid charger

[@angrycheetos2112]

It's ridiculous people who cat afford complain about a product outside their zone😂 Price gos up quite a bit to add that feature also.

[@aaleexsaalaazaar]

Need to see a comparison against the new ryobi 40v! I have both m18 and ryobi 40v, went with the new ryobi cause of the specs wondering if i made the right choice lol

[@robertkolb228]

I would love a comparison with the ego 56 misting fan. I have Milwaukee and ego products including the ego fan, and the fan is so much better than I could have imagined. I thought about also buying the Milwaukee 18 inch fan but I’m hesitant because the advertised performance isn’t as good as the ego fan. The Milwaukee cost basically the same as the ego and the only feature I see is that it’s a hybrid powered fan.

[@justinfargas2367]

Sad no battery charging, maybe another model will include it one day. Nice bit of kit.

[@Killamain51]

How does this compare to an eco + 18" Misting? I'm trying to decide to stick with milwaukee or invest into the eco for that one tool. Utah summer getting warm

[@steffendetrick]

Is it too much to ask for Milwaukee to start having on board power gauges on some of these tools. Specially on something like this if I’m working, I would be able to look over and see 2-3 bars displayed on the tool or whatever the case may be. I don’t like to run my batteries till they’re completely depleted and it’s not something I always think about but if they had onboard battery gauge, that’s something you would notice. I run into that problem with their dual battery wet dry vac.

[@slinkytrips]

This is where bluetooth would actually be useful, have it give an estimation of runtime on your phone or even set a limit so when it reaches that amount it notifies you to get ready to change the battery.

[@wyo_garage20]

Hmm interesting. Never have thought about that, the mower does have a large gauge while you run it. But yeah, would be nice with this, or my radio, things like that. Something to see across the room. Bluetooth would work but that assumes you have your phone on you all day, which most do but it’s a requirement where a large gauge wouldn’t be

[@djdan1]

What do you like better, this one or an Ego fan? I DO wish you could plug ego fan to an extension cord. But still love it.

[@samochoa6733]

The milwaukee. Having the option to plug it in is essential.

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

The Ego is a monster, I love mine, for what it is. I also have the smaller Ryobi hybrid misting fan, whisper, it’s ok, and also the small DeWalt.

[@prouddaddyofdos]

There is a difference between battery & AC power!!!

[@bythepiece]

Nowadays people, and a lot of ladies, are thinking of prepping if the power grid goes down. and we might want to know when the battery life expires, is it rechargeable? We could need it for a long time, or should we buy extra batteries?

[@mangosmakemesmilee5164]

Pretty suprised that the ridgid one is more powerful. Rated for 4k cfm on high.

[@justinvanburen8259]

Another great video thank you

[@intox69]

Bigger tools and stuff like this should always come with the ability to use an extension cord IMO...

[@dylanroberts2277]

So if i heard you correctly this has less fan speed than the m12.

[@jacobvachon2716]

Do you know how airflow works? Or just miles per hour?

[@benbohannon]

If you spit into the fan, it acquires a misting capability.

[@pl5624]

Should do a blowing comparison with the regular m18 fan.

[@Greasemonkey1701]

Blowing comparison 😂that might be X rated

[@pl5624]

@@Greasemonkey1701 that'd get that one demonitized quick..

[@ryobiguydiy]

Ryobi be like. “You’re late to the TTI party”.🤣 It’s a shame that for $250.00 it only has a one year warranty.

[@wyo_garage20]

But it also won’t die in a year.

[@ryobiguydiy]

@@wyo_garage20 Good one lol. I’ve had mine for 3 years for my garage gym and I’ve had zero issues.

[@wyo_garage20]

@@ryobiguydiy That’s fine. I only meant the warranty is kinda, meh. All my Milwaukee stuff is well past their warranty period and never failed. I would suspect this is no different. Wasn’t inferring that something else would fail in a year

[@ryobiguydiy]

@@wyo_garage20 Yeah kinda disappointing. Milwaukee makes great tools with pretty damn good warranties. So to have a one year warranty makes me question it.

[@almaburns6562]

​​@@ryobiguydiy Which Ryobi fan do you have and what amp batteries do you use with it?

[@freshkryp69]

The home depot link doesnt work... Not for $200, $125 is more like it..

[@2down4up]

Works for me but I agree that $250 is too much. As you stated $200 is too much. If Milwaukee isn’t careful they’re gonna fall into the same trap I feel Makita did.

[@weldonpinder7295]

I've read on the reviews on homedepot that the runtime on this fan sucks. A 12ah will only last like 3 hours. I've read a few reviews saying that

[@almaburns6562]

I've read a number of reviews that say the 12-amp battery was defective and totally stopped working not long after they purchased it. Others reported that each time the battery is charged it has less and less power. The problems with this battery is what keeps me from buying this fan.

[@weldonpinder7295]

@almaburns6562 so far I have no complaints I use mine everyday to work sometimes with the battery and its working fine

[@almaburns6562]

@@weldonpinder7295 How long have you had it and what amp battery are you using?

[@almaburns6562]

@@weldonpinder7295 Are you saying you use the 12-amp battery with other tools (not the fan?) and have had no problems? How long have you had the 12-amp battery, is it months or as long as a year? I am specifically seeking reviews on the 12-amp battery. The fan sounds like a good product but the 12-amp batrery has definitely had reported performance issues.

[@weldonpinder7295]

@almaburns6562 no issues here. I mainly use it for my fan because it's a big battery. I only need like a 6ah for everything else. Idk why everyone has had such trouble. Maybe they bought a batch of 12ah lemons

[@angelogoreham4155]

Let’s put a balloon on that and see what it throws out for CFMS. My old school HVACR guys know what I’m talking about.

[@meat6tick24]

To bad it doesn’t charge battery while plugged in

[@lifegoeson05]

They are behind the times. No one wants a fan that doesn’t offer misting.

[@shanew7361]

I agree, and no charging,, this is way overpriced.

[@Granamire]

The Ridgid one is a lot better!

That plug should be facing straight out not up. Kind of inconvenient

Very Stupid that the fan does not charge the battery when plugged into shore power! So dumb, could have been so useful

[@christopherwilliams5808]

What a joke. I just bought an industrial fan at Home Depot. 24 inch drum fan for $150. And it moves more air than this on low.

[@wyo_garage20]

Yeah you are

[@shanew7361]

No mistimg or charger features, garbage.

[@buddylove2943]

Ridgid fan is better

[@dylanroberts2277]

Why you say that. Just curious bc it's a lot of money and I have 2 12.0 batteries already. But if it's not a great product Im not trying to buy it. I have the DeWalt 20v and loved it but I just bought the m12 bc it was smaller more convenient and so far it's the best bc how long the battery lasts and the amount of air. The DeWalt was a little stronger/cooler but the batteries drain way to fast.
