Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this through Amazon a year ago.Prior to this, I have owned several Shop Vac brand vacuums, the last being their stainless steel version that I paid about $200 for.It did the job but after a few years, the wheels broke and I wasn't able to find replacements.I struggled along since the vacuum did work.It was noisy to boot.I have always regretted "cheaping out" on tools, and when I buy a quality tool, after the initial pain of higher cost, I never regret owning one.There is something about them; they have a certain feel in your hands, their performance is exceptional, they last and are a joy to use. My first router was a Sears $49 special.The machining was crude, no joy there.When that one died, I bought a Porter Cable 690 router which I still have and use.It is one of those tools that is a pleasure to own and use, but I degress.
If you have read this far, this Milwaukee Vacuum is such a quality tool.The price is indeed painful.The total cost currently is $702 but this doesn't include the wet/dry cleaning kit( Milwaukee part number 49-90-1670 ) which includes the hose and attachments.If I had any beef it is that every vacuum needs a hose and attachments, so why aren't they included?I suspect it is because of the price. Amazon carries the combo deal of vacuum and wet/dry attachments for a total of $914 as of this writing.
After having this vacuum for a year, it has done a fabulous job.The tools, although pricy, are beautifully made. The floor vacuum attachment is very heavy and looks to be made of cast aluminum.The hose is excellent quality as well.It is heavy duty, unlike the hose that came with my Shop Vac which collapsed readily.The vacuum itself is very stable, has separate filtration unit to change to when doing wet work, and is beautifully made.I am not an electrical engineer, but this unit, I believe, has an induction style of motor instead of the typical, cheap universal motor found on most vacuums.Induction = quiet, durable.Universal motors are loud and have a relatively short motor life. All in all, this is a great unit, still made in the U.S. and will be something one of your relatives will inherit. My only concern is that Milwaukee has been taken over by a Taiwanese corporation and the decline in tool quality is already apparent.Their power hand tools are not what they were and are now imported.As a disclaimer, I don't work for Milwaukee, but just love this vacuum.Buy one before the new owners "cheap it out" and you won't ever regret it.To save yourself some money, when you go to Amazon checkout, get the super saver shipping ( the free shipping ).Yes, it will take a few more days for it to arrive, but you will save yourself about $50 in shipping charges.
