Community Reviews

This M18 2 gallon cordless wet dry vacuum is praised as a strong, handy shop vac and the hack price makes it especially attractive. It works well with larger 8Ah and 12Ah Forge batteries, and the included vacuum gets called an awesome everyday tool. The main tradeoff is battery hunger, since smaller packs can feel weak and runtime drops fast. The attachments are also an odd size, so it is a solid pick if you already have the right batteries.

Common Questions (5)

Yes. The unwanted half of the hack deal can be returned to Home Depot, and the usual question is simply why you are returning it. Saying you do not need it has been enough, and the return is typically processed without issue.

Yes, if the hack works it is a great deal for a vacuum that is described as awesome and used regularly. The main caveat is that the deal depends on the Home Depot hack working, which can be YMMV.
blautens shortcats F3lix3
Yes. It can eat batteries quickly, and performance is noticeably better with larger packs like 8Ah and 12Ah Forge batteries. A 6Ah High Output battery can still feel weak, so battery choice matters for runtime and suction.

The Milwaukee wet vac is described as great, while the DeWalt wet vac is described as pretty bad. That makes the Milwaukee a better pick if you are choosing between the two platforms, especially if you already want an M18 tool.

It can happen. One reported outcome after several Milwaukee tool hacks was a Home Depot account ban and loss of receipts, so repeated hack purchases may carry account risk.

If the hack works, it's a great deal. I've done these hacks a few times at Home Depot as a number of you have. Sometimes ymmv, but it typically works. it's an awesome vac.

Just want to add my experience with Home Depot hacks. I have done many of them and ALL of them have worked. I typically have both items delivered and then return the item I don't want as opposed to the not picking up the item I don't want.

It is a great vac. I have it as well. The switch died on my first one and depot swapped it. It eats batteries quick, though.

I am in the DeWalt battery family. But from my understanding the DeWalt wet vac is pretty bad and the Milwaukee great. I plan on getting the Milwaukee to DeWalt converter which I read works as long as you use smaller DeWalt batteries (no room otherwise). However having Milwaukee battery may not be bad idea

Is this a good deal if the battery is kept too. Or is the combo at better prices at other times?

--Nevermind, I realized this isn't even the good packout version

Yeah, I've never had a problem returning 1/2 of the "hack" deal to HD. I was questioned once why I was returning some batteries and I told them I didn't need them. I got the impression they were just checking to make sure they weren't defective.

Yep, same here. When I return the unwanted item to Home Depot they pretty much always ask why I'm returning and I pretty much always say I don't need it. It's never an issue. I think they just need a reason to input into their system.

Can confirm the same. They're using "AI" to ban accounts that have taken advantage of hd, according to discussions on Reddit.

I created a new account, different email address, I was able to place one order, after that, that account got banned. (Same street address?)

Now I shop at lowes, Menards, ace. I won't even do walk ins b&m purchases at he since they've banned me.

I assumed they will return the money for the battery if I don't pick it up but how long does that take ?
