And for those diehards here who still still insist that there is something immoral or dishonest about hacking to purchase just the vacuum for $110, ask yourselves why Home Depot chose to set up a needlessly complex arrangement for buying this item. The vacuum costs $199, but comes with a "free" gift: a battery that is suddenly worth $88.38 if you return it.
If Home Depot didn't want you return the battery they would simply bundle the vacuum and the battery for $199, and would require you to return both items if you want a refund.
I know nothing about accounting, but I wonder if some purchases are set up like this because it is financially advantageous in the bookkeeping for Home Depot and/or Milwaukee. That's just a wild guess, but there is no obvious reason for them to do it.

The important thing to note about this vacuum is you have understand its limitations/use case. Good for drywall dust, sawdust and small stuff basically normal job site stuff and if you're already in the packout system, anything major, this vacuum ain't it. I wouldn't compare it to a full blown plug-in shop vac. Some people will disagree on that last one, but as a pro detailer who uses a full blown $10,000 dedicated vac system that will suck your arm off this just doesn't do as well haha so the placebo effect is real for me.
But hey, HD has a return policy for a reason. Don't like it- return it. Simple as that.

You can check the price for that battery at a bunch of authorized sellers here: https://www.milwaukeeto
FWIW I doubt if you could buy that battery for much less than $88.38 from any authorized Milwaukee distributor. In fact if you see that battery on sale for significantly less be very wary.
And here's one on Amazon with free shipping and free return: https://www.amazon.com/DEWDYS-Mil...=hi&sr=1-1
There are a bunch of videos on Youtube with the pros and cons of using battery adapters. It might be worth looking at one or two of those before ordering.
