Milwaukee 0780-20 28 Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum,

First, it should be obvious that this is a bare tool. The batteries/charger cost more than the unit. Therefore, it is good if you have other V28 tools.

Next, somewhere someone commented that this is as powerful as a corded vac. It is not. A normal shop vac is around 1000W to 1500W, and it is unrealistic to expect this little portable guy with a 1-1/4" hose to have the same power. It just isn't as powerful.

But, it has a very usable power for my intended purpose, which is to say, it has enough power to clean up a small "mess" without having to lug out a real vac. I find I'm also using it for a surprising amount of small around the house/in the car cleaning/dusting since it is so conveniently portable. The cordless portability is the reason to buy.

A major compromise between power and battery life is that the battery (a big V28 mind you) only lasts maybe 5 minutes. This is enough for a small project clean-up, but don't expect it to clean up your shop. On the plus side, it uses 1-1/4" accessories which concentrate the available suction well and which are also the standard size for home vacuum cleaners. This item does not come with a dust brush attachment which I considered a necessity, but luckily I just bought one for a regular home vac.

The hose is VERY flexible which is nice. It accordians down to a small U-shaped unit which fits into a holder on the side when not in use. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic since this was one of my questions when purchasing it. It is fairly easy to carry in one hand and vacuum with the other.

I cannot quite give it 5 stars because I think it is still a bit overpriced, and some parts like the hinges, etc., seem a bit on the cheap side and clunky to use. I cannot comment on long-term durability yet. Hope this review helps you.

I was excited to make this purchase and am glad I did. This is so handy and I find myself reaching for it all the time because it is so quick. One of the best things I found out about this unit, is that you can put the hose into two ports, one for suction and another for blowing. I use the blowing feature for cleaning out computers and filters. Works great. Absolutely love it.

This quality, powerful, suitcase-style vacuum was designed with the craftsman and home workshop in mind. If you already have the V28 batteries for other Milwaukee tools, you will find a use for this vacuum. It costs less than one V28 battery. Many work shops have several stations and dragging a hefty shop vac around on rollers through a maze becomes a real pain. It is also great for the commercial handyman who travels to people's homes to do odd jobs and is neat enough in appearance to please the lady who wants the shelves in her bedroom swapped with the shelves in her closet and a new do-dad added on to where the old do-hickey used to be hanging. For electricians and plumbers who sometimes work without power, this makes clean-up by either blowing or vacuuming a breeze. The self-contained, box shape with carrying handle makes transportation simple. Granted, if I didn't already have several V28 batteries, this tool would not have been an option. However, a man can not have too many tools.

Best yet cordless vac, tops all the DeWalt 18 volt I own. Sucks like a corded unit. I would buy it again.

Nothing compares to this vacuum. Anyone complaining about battery life or saying your better off with a regular plug in vacuum is an idiot. It's great for small jobs but I get by with just using it instead of a huge corded vacuum on any job site. I find I use it more than a standard large vacuum because it is so portable. I've also used it to drain supply lines so they can be soldered for plumbing repairs (a real time saver). It's also great for hard to reach areas where a cord is just not in the cards. It's compact size makes it practical to carry in the truck daily which nay,ales your work better. If your on the fence hope off and get this vacuum!
