SURPRISE DROP! New Milwaukee M18 Brushless Handheld Vacuum (Review & Deal)

Just when I thought Milwaukee was done for the year, they came out of nowhere on December 1st with a brand-new tool release. Today, we are looking at the all-new Milwaukee M18 Brushless Handheld Vacuum. I love tools like this for jobsite cleanup, fine dust pickup, and honestly, just cleaning up around the house (especially when the kids make a mess). I’ve dug through the specs, the features, and found a preorder deal that drops the price below MSRP. Let’s get into it. First Look: The M18 Brushless Handheld Vac Milwaukee continues to drive innovation on the jobsite, and this new vacuum is designed to deliver high sustained airflow for quick cleaning tasks. Unlike some DIY options, this is professional grade, featuring a HEPA filter to handle fine particulates like drywall dust. [INSERT IMAGE OF VACUUM SIDE PROFILE HERE] One of the biggest issues with older handheld vacs (looking at you, Ryobi and Makita) was that the filters often clogged quickly or the triggers failed. Milwaukee seems to have addressed this. The filter sits at the back of the unit rather than right in the middle of the dust collector, which should keep it running cleaner for longer and make it much easier to empty. Key Specs & Performance Here is what we are looking at in terms of power: Airflow: 40 CFM. Suction: 63 inches of water lift. Capacity: 0.2 Gallon. Runtime: Over 20 minutes on a 5.0Ah battery. Warranty: 5-Year Warranty (which is awesome to see on a vacuum).
What’s In The Box? I am actually really impressed with the kit. Usually, you have to buy accessories separately, but Milwaukee is including a solid lineup here: The M18 Brushless Handheld Vacuum One HEPA Filter Floor Sweep Tool Crevice Tool Two Extension Wands 4-Foot Flexible Hose
The inclusion of the extension wands and floor tool means you can use this as a stick vac for hard surfaces, not just a handheld unit. Plus, it features an LED Light Ring on the front, which is a "real nice like" touch for seeing dust in dark corners or electrical panels. The Deal: How to Save Money The MSRP on this unit is $179, which isn't bad considering the accessories and the 5-year warranty. However, I found a preorder deal over at Acme Tools. Since they just launched their Cyber Monday sale, you can use the code CYBER 2025 at checkout. MSRP: $179 With Code: ~$164 (and free shipping). [INSERT IMAGE OF ACME TOOLS CART/PRICE HERE] Acme is usually one of the fastest retailers to get these new tools in stock, so if you want to be the first to get it, this is the way to go. Final Thoughts I am genuinely excited about this one. It looks like it solves the clogging issues of previous generations, and the fact that it works with standard M18 accessories (and even that M12 powered brush attachment I love) makes it a versatile addition to the kit. What do you think? Is $179 (or $164 with the deal) a fair price for a brushless Milwaukee vac? Let me know in the comments below! Click Here to Preorder at Acme Tools
