I have the newer Milwaukee wet dry vacuum I love it I got it on sale for $150 with a charger and a 5aH battery it’s not as powerful as a regular corded vac but it’s so convenient if you need to clean something no looking for outlets and no plugs

I just bought the 36v Makita and it’s a beast

I would be happy with either. If you drive Uber/Lyft you could do some lunch break cleanup .

It's a Milwaukee🌼 what more do you need to know! Great vacuum! Definitely need a good battery, charge lasts just long enough for me to vacuum my truck. Much easier than dragging a big shop vac and cords around!

can you use non Makita hoses on it? I want to know if I could hook up my 15 foot Rigid hose, it's a bigger diameter hose but I could get a 1 1/4 to 1" adapter. I'm just not sure if it would work. From the video it looks like it could be a problem hooking up a non Makita hose.

I'm still waiting for Milwaukee to make this in a brushless FUEL version. They went brushless with their backpack version over a year ago. If they didn't require a 4 year degree I'd be applying in their product innovation and development department. That would be my dream job.

That mikwaukee vacuum filter can get wet btw. It's a rinsable filter The new one has a better cover for the switch like a rubber boot on it to water proof it. And doesn't accepted the nicad on the new one and the hose is kept on the inside. I'm not sure if the new one is slightly quieter

due to the brushless motor in the makita, you get more power yet the water lift is not as good, i suspect the reason is the safety feature in the brushless computer, when youve got water in it , the machine thinks its clogged and lowers the power a little, thats why only 27 inches of water lift as opposed to 37 with the milwaukee. however the makita has 57 cfm vs only 45 cfm for milwaukee. for dry objects the makita smokes it, if you are emptying toilet bowls, they are almost even

How do you know when that thing is full, when collecting saw dust? Makita

Hard to find 6amp batteries? Where are you looking the grocery isle? I still don’t understand the massive desire for bigger batteries? So much extra weight and size. There is a reason makita and festool stick with the same size.

Lov my Milwaukee vac for 89 can’t beat it

I emailed Milwaukee about the 12 ah battery in my vacuum. They said there wasn’t an upgrade. I have cut the little nubs on the nicad side and the 12 will fit. But the lid won’t close.

the deference might be due to size of crevice tool opening. Makita looks to be a lot smaller

Great review tool boss

Yea Milwaukee needs to up their game on the vac department

I am returning my Millwaukie. Buying Makita. Did you see the leaking??? It’s worse when dirt and dust leaks back out

Another great review, thanks 👍

I’m impressed with my Milwaukee just picked it up thought it wasn’t useful but I use it daily I’m in Milwaukee and Makita platform and always gravitate towards Milwaukee due to battery sizes and options

Go with the Makita

Do you know what is the largest Ah Battery that will fit inside of the milwalkee vac compartment?

Hey Milwaukee! Send this guy a new vacuum!

Does the makitas filter need removed before vacuuming water? Mine didn’t have much suction today at all. Maybe due to a wet filter?

Makita quieter, and brushless!!! Milwaukee eats 5ah batteries for lunch, while Makita actually utilizes a 5ah

Thank you for the Video 👍

Thanks Boss!

Nice job Boss

Thank you so honest

LOL..Damn, both vacs running together sound like a Concorde taxiing out on the tarmac at JFK. I imagine the new Milwaukee will outperform both of these models. Milwaukee is high on performance, but will eat those batteries.

good idea

Still rather have the makita

How do you charge the makita

Akita sounds a little quieter.

how about hilti ??

Since you kept asking "Alright?" during the video, I just wanted to let you know -- yes, it's alright.

The makita's nozzle's opening was a lot smaller. Definitely would have smoked the Milwaukee

the milwaukee nozzle is larger

👍👍

Are you serious ...I hope your not bashing Makita battery platform because this vac ran for 60 minutes on a 5 ah 18 volt battery and the Milwaukee has to have a 9ah battery for a 29 minute runtime lol ..side note bigger the Milwaukee batter the heavier

Макита best

I have that Makita... It's almost a toy. Useful in a very limited sense.

$89 dollars where ?

no matter what these both are better than dewalt model. man that sucked. in a bad way

easily one of the most dragged out and unprofessional reviews I have seen. Repetitious beyond my patience. And if one wanted to compare the noise difference that would be impossible.
