This cordless wet/dry vac earns high marks for strong suction and quiet, grab-and-go convenience on small jobs, all while sharing batteries with other Milwaukee tools. The trade-off is its 2-gallon capacity, which means frequent stops to empty and a real need for high-amp batteries if you plan to run it for more than a few minutes at a time.
Loved by buyers
- •It runs on the M18 batteries you probably already own if you have other Milwaukee tools.
- •Fleece bags and Packout integration make emptying and storing the vac genuinely hassle-free.
- •Two power modes let you balance between strong suction on high and longer runtime on low, and low is plenty for most daily messes.
Buyer concerns
- •Without being snapped into a Packout stack, it sits tippy on flat surfaces or in a moving vehicle.
- •The battery drains faster than expected on high mode; having a large-capacity battery is almost a necessity.
- •A 2-gallon bin fills up quickly during bigger cleanups, so it works best as a secondary vac for small jobs.
