I use this vacuum everyday at work. Honestly, I expected more because all my other Milwaukee tools are excellent. I clean the common areas in Apt. Complexs and some office buildings. I would like to see another hose protector/pivot at the top where your hose come out mine tore where it bends at the top after less than 1 month. Ive also worn the wheels on bottom down already. And lastly, it needs some sort of rubber bumper on bottom so when you sat it down it doesnt sound so loud like its going to crack. Otherwise it works decent for a battery powered vacuum but needs the m12 battery when i use it.

Was the best backpack vac out there

Quietest vacuum I’ve ever heard. It feels like it has almost no power to it but when the attachments are on and your testing it out it never fails to suck up everything minus the very sides of the front of the wide attachment. While cleaning up with it I found that I sucked up an overly large piece of debris that had clogged up the long metal pipe attachment and still vacuumed up stuff for a while before realizing it was jammed. Somehow despite being jammed with a wood block and completely jammed with saw dust it had no loss of suction to the very end. I actually had to dig out the block everything was packed in so tight. The straps are very comfortable and when they’re all snapped in properly you don’t feel much to any weight displacement of weight pulling your body over. 10/10 would buy again.

Was so excited when I finally got mine. Ran straight to the car and vacuumed up the winter stuff. But when I wanted to use it to get some cobwebs down in my garage I realized there is no soft brush attachment or anything like it so I wouldn’t leave marks. Overall I’m happy

It is quiet and has good suction. It’s also durable. My first day using it, it fell from about 10 feet with no damage.

This vacuum works great. I have been looking to buy a backpack vacuum for a while now, when I saw that Milwaukee had a cordless one I had to have it. I have used it on several of projects and it has performed great. With a 12.0 battery I can vacuum all the ceiling debris that I create while working without having to change out batteries.

A must to have in the ultimate mens tool inventory. I’ve worked several different projects so far. Works good and looks great.

I wanted portability and I got it. Can vacuum little pockets on the roof of my house. Also vaccum roof of shed, without long extension chords. It is impressively powerful for battery power. I think corded is still more powerful, but this is substantial and enough to get the job done. No bag, so you don’t want to vacuum ashes from fireplace – that would clog up the filters. It can vacuum debri from front porch, there’s no cost to empty the canister repeatedly. Well, except you have to take the “backpack” off before you empty. It is big and clunky. If you had a second person to empty the canister, you could leave the backpack on. That would be more efficient…

Awesome tool… I do recommend getting the biggest battery for it..
Maryjane Effertz (verified owner) –
The main design flaw with this vacuum is the filter is flat instead of cylindrical, this means there is less surface area to catch the dirt/debris and it gets clogged easier. It should be a traditional cylindrical design, but that would require a complete redesign of the backpack vacuum.

Great vacuum with two speeds, lots of suck power..
Cayla Donnelly (verified owner) –
I like the backpack setup.Very easy to get around obstacles. Has fantastic pulling power with both nozzles, yes it can suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch.Two slight downers, it’s a high draw motor. You will want the 12amphr battery! Pricey! But l plan on getting the hedge trimmer also.

The bad: price is a bit high, it doesnt work well on carpet, and its a bit heavy. The good: very powerful for a battery vac, runs quiet, it works great on non carpet applications, the extendable wand is great, great for doing stairs, run time with the 9A battery is not bad 15-20 mins. Well built product, you can tell by the feel of the materials. Best part is that i no longer have to bend down or get on my knees to clean the jobsite at the end of the day.

Sucking power is pretty good but could be stronger. I still like the tool and easy of use.

Hose is right-sided when wearing, great suction. Great for chasing flies around. Filter stays pretty clean, but having a disposable inner bag option, for nasty work, would have been nice. Will still need a vac with a bag option, for when you don’t want dust in your filter and lungs… runs quieter than most plug-in vacs. Ideal for ghost busting in the attic… looks the part.

I really like the suction power. I rarely have to turn it on high speed.

This vacuum has the best suction of any cordless vacuum I’ve ever owned. Way better than Ridgid or Ryobi. It goes through a battery in about 20-30 minutes so I would recommend a 5ah battery minimum. Also the Hepa filter gets filled up with sawdust within a few hours so be sure to clean it regularly to prevent suction drop.
