Wear, Hang, or Carry the new Milwaukee® M18 FUEL™ Backpack Vacuum Anywhere!

Milwaukee Tool brings unmatched performance, portability and versatility to the jobsite clean-up category with the introduction of the new M18 FUEL™ Backpack Vacuum.

The vacuum boasts a POWERSTATE Brushless Motor and cyclonic design to deliver powerful suction while remaining up to 3X quieter than traditional jobsite vacuums. A removeable harness, integrated hook, and handle allow users to wear, hang and carry the vacuum anywhere…

 “During our jobsite research, we found that users are still relying on bulky, cumbersome and corded vacuums to complete almost

every clean-up task, regardless of the environment. In many situations, they are limited by the cord and sheer size of the vacuums, highlighting the need for a vacuum that has the versatility to go anywhere on the jobsite to clean up a wide range of materials quickly and efficiently,” said Richard Powell, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “It is from this research that the M18 FUEL Backpack Vacuum was born. This new solution combines our advanced cordless technology with an adaptable design, providing users with a vacuum that can tackle a wide array of clean-up tasks.”

The vacuum’s POWERSTATE brushless motor and cyclonic construction deliver powerful air performance at 1557 l/min, 3.8 l of capacity and 189 mbar to clean up drywall dust, concrete dust, wood/metal shavings and other common jobsite debris quicker and more efficiently.

Whether doing spot, area, or final cleanups, the vacuum can go anywhere on any jobsite.  At only 76 dBA, the vacuum is up to 3X quieter than a traditional jobsite vacuum, allowing for comfortable operation, even in occupied spaces. A quick-release removable harness, integrated canister hook and handle allow users to wear, hang and carry the product for ultimate cleaning versatility. For added convenience, the debris bin can be emptied in seconds, at the touch of button, reducing downtime and allowing users to get back to the tasks at hand.

Powered by an M18 REDLITHIUM-ION 9.0 Ah battery pack, the vacuum has a run time of up to 25 minutes on High mode, and more than 40 minutes on Low. It hangs easily with an extendable hook on lifts and scaffolding for common tasks like overhead concrete drilling.

Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The M18 FUEL Backpack Vacuum is compatible with the entire M18 line, now offering more than 135 power tool products.

* M18 FUEL is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations - the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM-ION Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS Intelligence Hardware and Software - that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
