Milwaukee M12 Vacuum

roejiley · Jan 7, 2015

Half hour of run-time on a 4.0 battery. Definitely cheaper than I thought it was going to be. It's only available for pre-order but they'll be available on the 9th. Has a hepa filter, too, not one of those junky foam ones.

That's a better run time than the 18v and it's only 60% the watt-hours.

Which means it's either really efficient, or really weak.

The extension looks kinda short too...

I like it. I got my wife one of these, she loves it. It's great for quick cleanups between housekeeper days.

I'd be interested if it actually works ok.

I got the M18 vacuum with my Fuels. I like the look of that one though. May get one, i have a 12 volt drill for cabinets and the 12 volt multi tool. I like the look of it with that extension.

Any links? I've only seen product announcements thusfar and no full reviews.

Thanks.

The dyson I got for my wife has 22.2 volts and I think that would be the lowest power I would want, let alone 12v. I wonder how many air watts it has which is how dyson rates the suction on thier vacs. A dyson cordless has 100 air watts.

Calidecks · Jan 12, 2015

I would be much more interested if it were 18v. However, just because it's only 59.00 is worth trying even if I ended up tossing it. Hell I paid 500 bucks for my wife's Dyson.

I can see how a small vac like that would come in very handy. I've got a smaller 5gallon vac, but even that is a pain to drag out for cleaning up a bit of drywall dust installing a towel bar.

Found this from Coptool, a little more info than the other sites:

http://www.coptool.com/milwaukee-m12-cordless-jobsite-vacuum-0850-20/

The Milwaukee M12 cordless vacuum 0850-20 is not a wet/dry vac like the Milwaukee M18 cordless vacuum 0880-20 ($99) and there are no HEPA filter options for this compact vac. Makita is their largest competitor for a cordless vacuum powered by a tool battery and who they’ve set their sights on in the category. Milwaukee is claiming the suction power of their M12 vac is 70% stronger than the 12V Makita LC01Z vac and even slightly more powerful than the 18V Makita XLC02ZW vacuum. To be fair however Makita has now gone even more advanced with their new 18V cyclonic vac DCL500Z ($315) which based on price alone is a completely different animal.

I'll give it a go. I have a dozen or so M12 batteries kicking around, think I'll pickup two, one for the truck and one for around my own house.

I did some research and found it must places for 59 bucks. Wow that's a low price!

im curious about the actual suction power of it as well, im running the m12 platform and need a compact vaccuum for light duty cleanups in finished projects instead of lugging around the big shop vac which the wheels can damage finished floors

I have the Makita 18V version and it's a great tool to have around. Actually Makita has had this out since the 90's in the different battery types. I think I've had mine for at least 2 years. They are great tools for quick clean up. I'm not sure how they are getting 30min out of a 12v but you don't need a ton of time for quick stuff.
