The Milwaukee makes up for the poorly designed floor tool with its ability to inhale waterlogged sawdust. We took the 9 cups of sawdust previously used in the dry work assessment and poured 6 cups of water into it to create a lumpy mix. The vac ripped through this challenging material in just over half a minute. Not too bad, considering that other models took three times as long. One of the benefits of the vacuum tube running directly into the canister where other models have an elbow. Internal accessory and hose storage allows all attachments to be carried with the tool avoiding loss of equipment. Integrated accessory storage on the motor head, allows for easy access to the crevice tool and utility nozzle The internally stored hose and attachments are easily accessed. The hose has an above-average extension range — from 24 to 90 ½ inches — with a self-retracting, spring-like structure. At 10 lbs 2 oz, the M18 is well above average for the class though it is average in the noise department. Additionally, the unit comes standard with a HEPA filter can be cleaned out but not wet washed. Should You Buy the Milwaukee M18 0880-20?
