As a contractor with 15 years experience this is exactly what I needed. I already have a Milwaukee M18 volt system so choosing this vacuum was pretty easy. The vacuum is amazing! It is easy to use, small and portable, and has all the necessary accessories. A common problem I've had when working in other people's homes is making a mess and not having a vacuum handy. If I had a vacuum, it was one of those big wholesale vacuums. Large, store-bought vacuums are scary in an expensive home with expensive floors and finishes. With a small Milwaukee vacuum, I can get into any client's home without scratching the floor or knocking things over. It is also significantly quieter than a large vacuum cleaner. This is perfect for small drywall jobs, custom woodwork, and any job that causes a bit of chaos. If you have any of the above problems, get this vacuum cleaner. As a side note, the vacuum works pretty well on standard M18 batteries, but it works great on larger M18 batteries.
