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.

As a facility manager for a 77,000 sq ft Church, we acquired one Milwaukee ($248) as a test to compare against a ProTeam GoFree Flex Pro Battery Powered Backpack ($1488). The only complaints I have received after 46 days of use (one 12.0 battery per shift) is:– The carpet head does not like to roll freely over the commercial close knit style carpet. I speculate it is due to the rubber catch blade on the bottom of the head that is causing the hangup. (Suggestion, perhaps a braided Aramid fiber, close weave, with a nylon core for rigidity would act as an appropriate air dam/catch and be resistant enough for commercial use? If you chose this design idea, please reach out to compensate the Church) My staff reports the working solution to be an extreme angle of attack, basically, extend tube all the way out and vacuum as far ahead of you as you can reach, this takes the downward force off the back of the head allowing it to spread more evenly on its 4 small wheels.– Suction becomes noticeably diminished when the internal particle vortex screen becomes plugged with dust bunnies or, as shown by pictures, cellulose insulation. Fortunately, the design of the unit is easy enough to clear out the blockage, you’ll just get a little messy doing so. You’ll know when the unit is plugged up when the pitch of the exhaust changes to a higher tone. My staff agrees that the 12.0 battery pack is perfect to handle one shift on the high setting- they all are amazed at how quiet the unit is, as am I, the ease in which to dump its contents and the fit and finish of the components.Overall, we are very pleased with this unit. I would recommend this for use on hard dry surfaces, close office style knit carpet, and use for spot cleaning. I plan to purchase 2 more for use in our facility.

This is an amazing vac. Great suction, easy to empty and clean out, and super quiet. I’ve used it for a week and have found no design flaws yet.

Aside from making us looking like ghostbusters, this backvac is great, awesome suction, well balanced, and it uses our batteries. good buy

Need to have an additional battery if going to be using this for any significant amount of time. Also, must have some type of adaptor on the end in order to have good suction. However, is convenient and easy to use.

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

Vacuum has good suction. Lightweight. Easy to use.

If not the ultimate portable vacuum this machine comes close. I’ve used it inside and outside and it picks up all the dust and litter I’d expect it to. Much more portable that a standard shop vac. Using it with a M18 12.0mah HO battery. Runs at high power at least 30 min.

It’s everything I expected so far. Another great product from Milwaukee.

The Vacume is nice and convienent to use. It is much quieter than or other vacuum. I am disappointed that the hoses do not fit on the other Milwaukee tools we have.We have the 12” battery miter saw and the sander. The hose will fit on neither one. Why would Milwaukee add a tool in the M 18 Fuel line that is not compatable with there own tools in the same line? Dosn’t make sence!
Dee Romaguera (verified owner) –
Very convenient vacuum. Uses a lot of battery energy though so it’s best to have a backup battery or two fully charged as a ready replacement at the jobsite. Wish it had more accessories and was wet/dry. Other than that, it’s really a great vacuum.
Antwan Hammes (verified owner) –
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.

Awesome tool… I do recommend getting the biggest battery for it..
Gretchen Botsford (verified owner) –
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.

Great vacuum. It sucks.Recommend having two batteries charged, it doesn’t take long to go through one.
