MILWAUKEE® M18 FUEL™ Backpack Vacuum

MILWAUKEE® introduces the new M18 FUEL™* 3.8 litre L Class Backpack Vacuum which brings outstanding performance, durability, and versatility to job site clean-up.

Continuing to push the boundaries of cordless job site clean-up, MILWAUKEE® introduces the next generation of the M18 FUEL™ Backpack Vacuum. Designed for general contractors, carpenters, facility maintenance and repair technicians, this solution delivers significant improvements in performance, durability, and user comfort.

The M18 FUEL^™ Backpack Vacuum delivers the highest sustained suction in its class and features the longest filter life for consistent, reliable performance. It also provides over 40 minutes of continuous run time using a M18^™ FORGE^™ 12.0 Ah battery, ensuring extended cleaning without interruption. Purpose-built for the demands of the modern job site, this backpack vacuum provides ultimate versatility and maximum comfort, setting a new benchmark for professional clean-up tools.

The Backpack Vacuum provides professionals with efficient cleaning and reduced downtime. The integrated cyclone separator extends filter life by up to 3.5x by preventing debris from clogging the filter, minimising the need for frequent filter cleanings. The highly efficient HEPA H13 filter collects up to 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns. This solution maintains peak air performance for longer periods of time, providing more consistent cleaning power throughout the job. As a result of the POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, the air delivery rate is 1,983 l/min and a 137 mbar of suction for more effective clean-up that ensures faster, more efficient debris removal without compromising run time.

Comfort, power, and versatility in one Backpack Vacuum.

This vacuum is equipped with REDLINK PLUS^™Intelligence and when paired with an M18^™ FORGE^™ 12.0 Ah Battery, delivers over 40 minutes of continuous cleaning, covering more than 125 m²in max run time mode. This extended run time allows professionals to complete most clean-up tasks on a single charge, maximising job site productivity.

The vacuum was designed with user demanded features including an accessible tethered remote for easy on/off control and mode selection. A removable harness transforms the vacuum into a canister style vacuum, with an integrated hanging hook for ladders and scaffolding.

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 fully compatible with the entire M18^™ line, now offering more than 315 solutions.
