Call me old fashioned but if it were dual powered meaning using battery's and the potential to plug it in to the wall via extension cord too I'd buy it in a heartbeat
I almost got this one but opted for the 6gal 1 battery vac and i use the 12.0 with it and gets a solid 30-35mins of run time with it. And i have 4 of the 12.0s when needed
Aside from capacity, what’s fundamentally the difference between the 6 gallons versus 9 gallon? The 6 gallon takes one battery. I’m assuming you’re not sacrificing any power. Thoughts?
@@IBoughtItMyselfEssentially he would use it to clean cloth seats or carpets in car he would add chemicals to scrub the cloth then use this vacuum to “extract” the water/chemicals off the seats
Could you compare it with the new m18 packout vac or with a ridgid 120v vac. I have both of those and would be nice to know if it’s ok to ditch the corded vacs. Thank you for putting this out though
I have the 6 gallon single battery version and I’m still pretty impressed. I runs great on the XC 6.0 HO battery and I got a full 15 minutes on max power mode. It’s definitely worth getting the HD 12.0 HO battery for the single battery version.
They are expensive but they do seem better significantly than the other cordless shop vacs. I have thought about buying the vac alone and not the kit and just running it off existing batteries.
Good review! I had preordered this since I placed a premium on a cordless vac. Very happy with it. Would be even happier with a Packout feature on top. Missed opportunity. The various attachments have been on sale at HD, and I like them.
Other than ultimate convenience it's hard to justify over a corded unit. I do alot of electrical service calls so I keep a corded floor vacuum, a corded shop vacuum, and a packout m18 cordless vacuum for small messes. The other day I had to take a panel cover off to install a temporary cord end to get 120v power just to clean up a big mess with my shop vac so I can understand the convenience but still it's a hard sell. Even if I went cordless I would still have to find a place to charge the batteries on the jobsite and not leave them behind. And most of the time the places you want to use a shop vac have power available somewhere. I feel like the m18 power station would be the better bang for your buck if you need power anywhere and everywhere considering it can power pretty much any power tool
Great video!! Since I’m not a part of the pack out eco-system, I’m glad the vac didn’t have that added cost for that compatibility. Performance is impressive with two 8AH batteries, and being cordless creates a real winner. Highly recommend.
I sent my M12 Fuel ratchet in for warranty because the plunger shaft for the trigger switch was broken. You can clearly see on the broken pieces that there's an air pocket that created a weak point in the shaft. The tool worked if the broken piece of the trigger switch was held in place under the paddle with a rubber band. Warranty was denied with no explanation as to why, which is fine if that's how they do business. The issue that I'm having is, my tool was shipped back to me entirely disassembled in a clear plastic bag with a hole approximately the size of 3 fingers punched in it. The fingered bag was inside of a box that was stapled shut with approximately a 3/8" gap across the bottom. Now I'm missing several small fastners as well as the broken piece of the switch, which was required to use the tool. I sent them a functional tool and now it can't be used whatsoever. The way my tool was returned to me was sloppy and lazy. A $180 tool is going in the trash on my dime because they couldn't use a piece of tape.
If they come out (and I hope they do) with a pack out compatible, dust extractor "head" with a tool auto start feature then I would definitely buy one. I would even pay $800-900 for a kit, until then I'll continue abusing and not worrying about damaging my $120 Ridgid
@@bread-gz3rl but they could do it on the corded option. They could also do a Bluetooth option or have them link through the one key app on the battery units. The technology is out there to make it happen and keep it at or under $1000
What is heigh on the unit with and without the castor base? I want to know if i can remove the base and fit the vacuum in the bed of my truck with a tonneau cover. Always appreciate the videos, keep up the good work!
Why couldnt the drain be the lowest point and there be a slight angle in the bottom that leans toward the drain. They could just have feet on the 4 corners that hold it up like an 8th of an inch and those feet mount to the cart. Then just make sure the footprint is the same for all the bins and the cart and the drain could actually be into the black cart frame
They only make one dual battery power head correct? So can a person buy this vacuum and buy the 2.5” hose separately and it will work with this power head? Or does the 12 gallon have a different power head that uses the 2.5” hose?
I believe they are the same power head, so this should take the larger hose. What throws me is that the clip on the side of my powerhead would not accept a 2.5 inch hose, so it has me wondering. When you look it up, you can get a powered for any vac size, but they say nothing about hose diameter.
@@WorkshopAddict I found something somewhere saying a 0920-20 accepts 1 7/8” hose and 0939-20 is the 2.5”. As you say identical power. I think all they did is make it so you can plug a 2.5” hose into the power head on the 9 gallon unit so you are forced to buy the 12 gallon unit to get the 2.5” hose.
@@WorkshopAddict Thanks, it would be appreciated. I’m sure many others would be in the same boat as me and don’t need more batteries or the 12 gallon and would love to save the money and buy the 9 gallon tool only and put a 2.5” hose on it.
From my research, not experience (yet), it will fit. You can look at this page and see that the connection to the vac tapers down. So per my measurments, you will be able to get that 2.5" diamerter into the 9 gallon power head as the 1-7/8" hose tapers down to the hose. www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/49-90-2006#sp-specs

Hi workshop! Would you ever consider reviewing diamondback and/or atlas tool belts, vests, pouches, etc?

You should do a video on the corded power head.

An autostart cordless vac that can run a tool over 2A ain't gonna happen for under 3000$

Got this and a 2nd gen mid torque for 299$ today. Smoking deal if you already have batteries.
Should check out the 5 gallon craftsman v20 shop vac at lowes ! It’s on sale for 70 $ tool only rn

With the base you need 23-1/2" and without about 19". You can see more in my stories on youtube.
You are the man thank you 🫡
Wonder how it compares to the new 40v Makita. Although the Makita is more similar to the Metabo HPT and would be a better comparison.

Right off the batt, some side ledges to hold that hose would have been great.
Bosch offer a vacuum compatible with their l-boxx system on top, but is corded and costs more...
Hey guys does anyone know how these stack up compared to xgt vacs?
The dual battery is better than the xgt vac as long as you use larger batteries.
Super shame the bucket isn't Packout and the rolling cart isn't just the dolley they already have.
I agree overpriced junk.
Hey man why don’t you do ridgid reviews any more ?
When they started to make many of the Ridgid tools Ryobi models also, it seemed pointless.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 at the pricing. Especially the kit
There a lot Milwaukee telling use when they made this unit
I’m not putting down Milwaukee I use there tools daily
1 it would of been pack out but as u can see price is high so would of brough cost two high to add pack out compatible so they had came up with quick goodie bag for
Think would added extra value
2 starting at $299 bare tool not aimed at hobbies t this is contractor pricing
And Milwaukee got so many tools they can offered to go out of box with pricing
3 made usa lol
This tool is all plastic very easy to have a American worker get there feet wet and get a easy assemble prouduct out the door and show high quality results
So next time u see made usa in Milwaukee
Ow my shop vac held up ya il go for it
4 can we use normal shop hoses or they special lol sounds like easy way for Milwaukee charge $100 for 20 ft hose lol
5 are there bags for this thing $600-$700 I think should take bagges
6 And wheels are nice but any commercial shop vac in this price gonna have wheels
For this price it shoul hover over objects lol 😂
$700? We'll stick with a cord for the shop vacs.
Amen
Buy your batteries from offer up or Craigslist.
If you don't start pointing at the camera again, Im unsubscribing!!! 😂😂😂
