Milwaukee M18 FUEL 9 Gallon Dual Battery Dust Extractor w/ PACKOUT Compatibility and VACLINK Kit 0888-22HD
Milwaukee isn’t new to vacuums and have several cordless wet/dry models however no large cordless dust extractors (only rotary hammer piggyback dust extractors). That all changes with their latest vac, which is a 9 gallon dust extractor. Like most dust extractors, they excel at dust management with not only dual on board HEPA rated filters, but with the ability to alternately clean the filters – automatically! The dual HEPA filter delivers OSHA Table 1 compliance.
Many cordless vacs also skimp out on suction performance and even the stronger cordless models are behind the suction power you’d expect from a corded vac. Not here as this bad boy offers an impressive and strong 125 CFM’s of suction on battery power. This is thanks to this unit using dual Milwaukee M18 batteries – essentially making it a 36 volt power tool. And if for whatever reason 125 CFM isn’t strong enough for you – plug it in for 175 CFM! Yes this offers cordless and corded options – 2 in 1.
This dust extractor is an excellent addition to not only general contractors but also mechanical, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and remodeling pros. Not only for better dust management and user safety, but also OSHA compliance. This bad boy is also equipped with a low flow alarm to alert users when airflow drops below optimal performance.
Features Continued:
Though this dust extractor isn’t touted as a wet/dry vacuum, it also has the ability to do wet cleanup and has water sensors to detect when the tank is full and stop suction.
Of course you get all day suction when plugged into AC power, when used with a pair of Forge HD12.0 batteries, you can expect up to 41 minutes of runtime and up to 78 minutes on Max Run-Time mode.
This dust extractor is equipped with VACLINK – Milwaukee’s proprietary wireless communication protocol that works with other power tools equipped with VACLINK. When paired with a VACLINK equipped tool, this dust extractor will turn on automatically when the tool is powered, just as it was back in the day when you’d plug in your tool to the vac, except wirelessly.
And also as shown in the image above, this dust extractor has a VACLINK wireless dust control remote. This lets you operate the vac wirelessly when working with tools that don’t have VACLINK.
The included hose is a premium 36mm x 10’ anti-static hose and also includes power tool and table saw adapters so you’re ready to go out of the box in most cases.
The features don’t end there as this dust extractor also has Milwaukee PACKOUT accessory compatibility so your PACKOUT gear can be stacked and locked on top of the vac for even more convenience. And with the inclusion of ONE-KEY functionality, users can effortlessly track and manage their tool using the ONE-KEY app.
This dust extractor will launch in June 2025 for $1399 as a kit and $799 as a baretool.
