Cordless Vacs for Auto Detailing | Auto Fanatic 

Had never even looked at these! Thx for demos!

Thanks for the review. Using it for prepurchase research.

Very comprehensive review! Thank you.

Nicely done!!

Yep the Milwaukee shop vac is an older outdated model. Milwaukee also now makes a backpack model that is also free standing or hang-able that is quiet (76db) has almost twice the suction (76 inch's of water) and is in general a beast. That said for car detailing use you would still probably want a longer hose to allow easy access to the various areas while allowing you to keep the vacuum outside the car.

Man great job on this Video!!

Tbh i was looking at getting the Milwaukee wet/dry vacuum for easier upkeep on keeping my daily clean but I’m glad I watched ur video first I’ll get the other one

Thanks man very informative definitely getting the small portable milwaukee

Great description and review!

Thanks buddy,I'll get the small Milwaukee.

Just bought my milwaukee portable compact vacuum. I love it. I didnt even see this video before purchasing it.

I have both the Milwaukee hand vac that you reviewed here, and the new Fuel Packout vacuum from Milwaukee. I can add the hose from the hand vac as an extension for the big one, and can stretch out to 14 feet with still plenty of suction. Plus, it clips right into the Packout mounting plate in my truck. The hand vac is also the perfect backup now

Amazing device🌼 better built than any plug-in hand vac, and so much more convenient without the cord. The standard 1.25" vac nozzles and extensions fit fine. Great for auto interior, for spiders and webs. The batteries stay charged for months.

thanks for sharing this video. Seeing you use that portable vacuum made me reconsider. Very useful info!

Great video!

Great vid!! Thanks

Missed the opportunity to throw in the Ridgid 3gallon and the bosch 2.6 gallon, arguably the 2 best cordless shop vacs on the market today.

Love it!

Excellent product!

Great review AF. Have been looking for awhile now and this just helped make my decision. Although just might by the makita as well for more of the home projects. By the way any closer on the CF Guilia flaps. Thx James.

Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking about an easier way to vacuum instead of dragging out my extension cords and all that.

Video content is spot on!!!

Thanks for making this video. I have been going back and forth on possibly getting the Milwaukee toolbox looking model and due to this video I will probably go with the other one.

Thanks for the video. It would be easier if you keep the Milwaukee vac in the trunk instead of carrying in your hand and for larger area you could use the broad suction attachment.

Thanks for the video. Looks like I'm going to go for the Milwaukee compact one 👍

Great video, glad I watched before I bought the Milwaukee wet/dry vac.

I have the small Milwaukee. I use it to suck up fruit flies in the kitchen. Works around my muscle car pretty good too.

I have a Dewalt version and it’s a bit like the Milwaukee toolbox shaped model in you video. It is cordless as well as corded, which was something I liked. I bought a few different attachments from Shop Vac to work with my unit, which made mine much more productive.

Thanks alot

I was gladto see milwaukees compares thanks.

I moved from Milwaukee to Makita and this vacuum is a beast. I definitely will buy this.

Got the Milwaukee. Works great for vehicles. Handier and faster than my old corded shop vac. Their blower also works well for drying.

I really like the Milwaukee wet/dry vacuum. I bought it specifically for vacuuming out my cars, but I can easily use it to clean up around my house too. I disagree with your comment that it is heavy and cumbersome, though. It would be heavier and more cumbersome than a hand vac, but compared to a shop vac it’s extremely light and portable. I set my vacuum on the seat and clean the floor and visa versa, you don’t have to hold it the entire time you vacuum. That’s exactly how I envisioned using it, so no negative marks there IMO. Makita is not an option based on price alone, and between the two Milwaukees the wet/dry vac wins.

You should have thrown the small makita vac into the test/kept stuff even...

You need to buy the WeatherTech cargo mats for those cars. Then easier to vacuum with the M18 unit!

I have that m18 2 gallon and the ryobi 3 gallon and the ryobi is alot smaller and easier to handle and about the same suction I don't even use the m18 for my cars anymore just in the shop

Can you do a video testing makita’s new compact shop vac model number XCV11Z it’s 150 ish. Also you then can put it against the other battery operated shop vac’s from this video.

well done.

Where can I get those filters for the hand vacuum ?

Makita for me

With the bigger Milwaukee you did the area of the car that most vacuums can’t vacuum. Do it on a floor at and it would be fine!

I was looking for a cordless vac that I could use to clean my vehicle.Being on the Milwaukee battery platform,I was trying to choose which of there vac systems would be best suited to my needs.Thanks

What about the Milwaukee 3 in 1 vac?

Great video, sir! Very informative and well thought out testing! I just picked up the Milwaukee handheld! Exactly why I bought it was to clean my car! The handheld Milwaukee combined with an M18 HD output battery is unmatched! Milwaukee for the win! Cheers!

You could have set the Milwaukee wet/dry vac in the trunk and moved it around as you were cleaning out the trunk.

Perfect timing Mr. Auto Fanatic! I was looking for a vac and what ever you used to clean the door jams in your previous video and just ahead of Amazon Prime Day. Now I will finish watching the video!

Hey bro when you were using the boxed milwaukee wet/dry vaccum in your trunk, why don't you put the vaccum on the trunk while you use it?

I recently purchased the smaller M18 dry vac mainly for use in my car. I can’t fault this vac, it’s cleaning ability and ease of use is outstanding 👍

get a longer hose for that milwaukee

Rigid cordless vaccums are more powerful than the Milwaukee and with a bigger battery it crazy.. louder but it works but nice video 🤠

If the toolbox Milwaukee doesn't have *enough* power with a longer hose, then it's a fail. If it does, then it would be my first choice.

What's the best and cheapest cordless I can get for car. As a guy is on a budget

Would you use the milwaukee m18 wet/dry vac for wet carpet extraction? I just bought my m18 it should be here next week. Hopefully it could do a carpet extraction.

The trunk carpet is very different than the interior carpet to clean trunk being way harder looks like you didn’t want the Milwaukee to perform well

Would u recommend the Milwaukee box wet dry vac for extract water from car seats?

Tbh I love the m18 hand held bc it’s way way lighter

Makita has a smaller single battery 18v vacuum. It’s a little smaller than the Milwaukee toolbox one. It has a blower port too and is only around $160. Also for any mobile detailer who’s not invested in certain battery yet. Makita just released their 18v selectable between random orbital & forced rotation polisher. And it’s is absolutely killer. It’s by no means cheap, but it’s like a flex 3401 and a DA in one unit.

Has anyone compared milwaukee vs dyson? The dyson price for handheld cordless is so much more so i would expect it to better but I haven't seen anyone compare them.

I think that Milwaukee vacuum you have is an older model

You forgot one! Dyson V6 Trigger Handheld Vacuum Car + Boat

Why not using makita on the boot ? Different mess at front seat than back boot.

Looking back again at this, are you still satisfied with your choice? Looking at this for mobile detailing and Rigid offers something too now.

What do you think of the m12 wet/dry vacuum?

My fathers birthday is coming up. What are some good car detailing items to look at? He has the essentials but looking to upgrade some things or maybe looking to add some.

I was interested in the 3rd pick but I’m not paying $300 lol I refuse

That Milwaukee box vac is a old model

How is the suction on the 100% Winner?

9:27 why not put the vacuum in the trunk and use it that way? So you don’t have to hold it

You should update with the Milwaukee backpack vac

13:02 that's what she said

How long do the batteries last for both Milwaukee vacuums?

Couldn't you just put the Milwaukee one in the trunk, do one side at a time? 🤷🏾‍♂️ It's still an inconvenient option overall I can see that.

What is the hp on them

The milwaukee is just a pale copy of what Hilti make. Would love to hear what you would say about the hilti, but yea not everyone have batteries or machines.

Backpack milwaukee vacuum is better than any of these models

To expensive to me

Ridgid 18v destroys these

Hey what the hell you never gave the price!

Winners avail at home depot for $99

How come you dont show ypur face?

Nope if you do more then one car or have really dirty cars not worth it .

As of right now all the cordless ive tried are entirely too weak and useless

First world problems lol

you vacuum like you have ADHD. slow down and let the vacuum do it's job. a common complaint, it seems, with the smaller milwaukee, is the trigger starts to fail. not sure what it is, but my dyson does the same thing.

This review was weak.

You didn't give the price of the winner. Sorry dude but I have unsubscribe.
