This Milwaukee M18 Hand Vacuum will run for 25-minutes on a M18 5.0 Ah battery and 43 minutes with the 9.0 Ah battery. While not an amazing amount of runtime, its a lot better than some of the cordless vacuums I’ve used and tested in the past.

I have the old m18 tool box style shop vac and I like it a lot better than hauling out my rigid full size shop vac but I would much rather use this "1 handed vac" that is the key advantage here. I have done a lot of jobs in and out of 5, 6 or even 7 peoples apartments in one day and the biggest waste of time was cleaning up afterwards. Had a crappy corded shop vac. Was a pain to get in a the tight areas had to plug it in and lug it all around with my tools and material and it required 2 hands to use. The vac part was always getting stuck on carpet or behind objects. I just wanted to use one hand to move objects around as I was vacuuming with the other hand. Also cleaning the filter was a pain in the ass in old vac as well. I use the m18 cordless vac to blow the fliter clean outside and then get back in and finish up ASAP! I could have done at least 1 more job a day with this new m18 1 handed vac. Or do the same # at a more relaxed pace not busting my ass trying to get all these units done
Love the vacuum but having problems finding a replacement filter. Any leads out there?
I bought this because my Dyson for my house didn't last long enough. And let me tell you, other than carpets, I'll pick up this vac over my dyson at any minute.
It's a great vacuum. If your cleaning something for more that 25 minutes than you using the wrong tool for the clean up.
Do the accessories, including the wands, store on board?
I love my dewalt 20v vac. Don't know what I did without it. My big vacuums only don't even come with me on a daily basis.
How well does it work with a oneida dust deputy
The older M18 vac is same CFM and also does wet pickup. Its bigger, but I guess that could be good or bad. Same price, too.
