With regular batteries including the HO this is a very weak vacuum. When I used the my Forge 8.0 and 12.0 batteries it is decent. There is a noticeable difference in how well it works between the 12.0 and 8.0 batteries. The packout version is supposed to be better with all batteries.

Ive got this one, had it since first came out.
Works decent with big battery. It will zap that little battery it comes with in a couple minutes run time and power will be down. Dont think for a minute it will replace a traditional shop vac. Good for spot cleaning only. Awkward in use, hose is very short. Tips over easy. Hose will clot easily at the tank connector. Hose has failed twice with occasional use. Milwaukee warrantied both times. Id spend the little extra money and get newer version or one that is corded/cordless from another mfg and buy milwaukee battery adapters if allready invested in that ecosystem.

I use this vacuum with a 5.0. I'm not sure what version but it's great. The bigger the battery the better the performance and the 2.0 would not cross my mind to use other then in drills and lights. I recommend this tool for holding oil in a crank case to cleaning up.

The lowest ah I'd go with this is the 5.0ah. Surprised they packed this with a 2.0ah. You'll probably get less than 15m of run time.

I would recommend a shop vac, I have it and use it with a 5.0 xc battery and its weak at best

The link isn't working correctly for some reason. Search Milwaukee Packout Vacuum and the first result will be the one you can hack. I selected two different stores and went and got the vacuum and then immediately cancelled the battery at the other store.

I bought the Packout version, Home Depot SKU 1005505611, for $199 with a 5.0 Ah battery. I returned the battery for a net cost of $107.60.

Love the vacuum! It's a little bigger and heavier than I'd like, but it's definitely powerful enough and the battery lasts a good while. Compared to any other battery powered/portable vac I've used, like Dyson, this thing's a beast and sucks up everything in its path.

The only complaint is that the vac doesn't include any bags. You don't have to use a bag, but if you don't, the inside of the vac will get disgusting very fast… at least, my shop vacs sure have! So a set of 3 bags adds another $20. And for cleaning cars, one bag will probably last forever. Otherwise, it's pretty though and durable for a vacuum cleaner and I'm very happy with it.

Its not meant to replace a shopvac. Its meant for stuff like small spot cleanup. I have the M12 version of this, which i have to imagine is even weaker than this, and it was fantastic when i repainted for prep and cleanup. Didn't need to have another cord in the room and a big clunk shopvac dragging around with me. Could have it right next to me on the stairs, etc. Not to mention significantly quieter than my shop vac.
Also if you reverse it to a blower, it has just enough oomph that i can use it to blow off the patio stuff. I doubt that will hold true through the fall, but for most of the year it can get the job done for a quick cleanup.

That's what i said.. With all the hoopla over cordless tools, a lot of people buy these expecting more of them than they are capable of. I use mine for fiberglass dust and drill shavings clean up when rigging boats. Thats all its good for.Ive got the big basturd tub vac for anything else. The newer ones and the dual power are capable of more negative pressure and work better. That is what this is all about, getting the best purchase for the money. Just offering insight as somone who uses this almost daily.
