It is much more comfortable and lasts much longer than 4. There are no batteries in this vehicle. I couldn't believe how long it had gone without being recharged. I was afraid it was going to run out. Despite the fact that I only went to one bar, I was still up past 4 a.m. I recharged it before it ran out, so I have no idea how much time it took. This is the first time I've ever done something like this with a group of four. There is no battery in this device. I would strongly suggest it.
Yes, it certainly will! This is the method I employ. On it, it also runs for a long time!
If you can devise a way to connect the hose to the toy, yes.
Selected User Reviews For Milwaukee 0880-20 18-Volt Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum, Red
For my workshop, I recently purchased a small battery-powered handheld vacuum.
This just came in. It worked after I put a battery from my drill in it. It worked after I swapped out a lower capacity battery from another drill. Before removing the batteries from the drill, I must have pulled the trigger. The vacuum will not turn on if the battery is left unplugged for more than a few minutes. No batteries are required. I tried it again and again with different batteries, but it didn't work. Then I discovered that if I put the battery in another tool, start it for a few seconds, then put the battery back in the vacuum, it works fine as long as it isn't turned off for more than a few minutes. I tried it with ten-year-old batteries, five-year-old batteries, and brand-new Milwaukee 5 batteries, and the behavior was consistent. This week, I purchased a set of 0 Ah batteries. So, in order for the vacuum to work, I need to bring a drill with me to "activate" the batteries first; if it worked properly, I would give it 5 stars.
I bought this vacuum expecting it to be a duplicate with the same serial number? (0880- 20), but it turned out to be a different model or generation, so this review is probably for the older one or a spin-off of the 0880- I thought it was the milwaukee one, so I bought some bags for it, but this one didn't have that option. However, I am giving it a two-star rating for one reason; otherwise, it would have received a three-star rating.

Maybe I got a lemon, but I read on the internet that this model is pretty bad and either barely hits or misses completely.
There are some things that could be improved. All of my shop tools have been replaced by battery-powered alternatives - The same battery system is used by all of the tools. Milwaukee was chosen over the competition because its battery system appeared to be more advanced. br>br>While the vacuum works fine, the Milwaukee compact vacuum that came with a combo set I purchased is more convenient. When I was draining my hot tub, I used the shop vac to remove the 5 or so gallons of water, and it worked perfectly. Definitely preferable to a pump. However, there are a few things that could be better. br>br> First, this small shop vac requires a longer hose; I have yet to locate one, but will purchase one once I do. The hose's length is simply insufficient. Second, the vacuum should include adaptors to convert the small hose to a standard vacuum hose size. To fit the Milwaukee pack-in vacuum, the vacuum must have mounting hardware on the bottom. out of the system To move my Milwaukee tools around, I put them in Packout boxes, but the vacuum was not made to work with that system.
Love it! This vacuum has been in my possession since September 2015, and I am writing this review in February 2018. The original filter is still what I'm using. The base, however, could be a little wider. Not that it's bad as it is, but it would be better if it had a larger base. When I'm in a tight space, such as an attic, I'll pull on the hose and the vacuum will roll on its side; wet/dry vacuums can't do this because the float ball will cut off the impeller's intake. I've also stepped on this tiny fellow a few times. I don't like standing on it because I'm 240 pounds and the lid flexes a little, and the narrow base makes me feel shaky. It's good and sturdy there, so I sit there without hesitation. Because of the way the hose is stored, it is subjected to a great deal of stress in the end, and it eventually splits after two years. I simply cut the hose and reattached the hard plastic hose end to the new hose end. br>br>I strongly suggest this vacuum.
