This is a really nice vacuum with pretty much all the accessories you will need. Run time is very good. At low speed I got 29 minutes of operation, and at the high speed I got 18 minutes, using a 5 amp hour battery. The powered head unit is nice, but it doesn’t roll across carpeting very easily until you lower the head of the vacuum down to an angle that is uncomfortable to use. The floor tool has rollers on it that makes it really easy to use, and will likely save scratching on the floor. The tool holder is kind of a joke, this should really come with a bag to hold all the pieces. The vacuum is really well built and emptying the bin could not be easier. I really like the double filters. Disassembly of the vac is easy, making it simple to clean.

This is another well built vacuum from Milwaukee. I have the more compact Milwaukee vacuums as well so I knew how well they work. So my expectations from this one were high as well. I love that they include the two kinds of heads – one with a roller and one without. And swapping it out is a snap – literally. The roller is good when you are on something like tile and want to knock the things that stick to it lose while cleaning up. Then the one without is just the thing for cleaning up on wood and getting up all those shavings. I personally like to use the tool with the attachment holder detached. But if you prefer to keep it on it is as easy as snapping it on and once on it holds securely without sliding around and is just as easily removed. The design of that setup was well thought out. Here’s hoping Milwaukee keeps the design team they have because those folks know that they are doing and have a real eye for details. The filter is easy to pop out and clean and the bin is easily dumped. I’ve put this through some pretty good paces and have yet to drain a 9.0 battery. I have had the same experience with all the Milwaukee vacuums. They get the most of a battery. This set comes with a good little assortment of attachments. This tool is at home vacuuming in the house, on the concrete floor of my building or on bare wood during construction. And the suction on this thing is great.
