US Made Performance and Build Quality
By Quality Obsessive
I was looking to avoid poor quality, chinese made junk from the home improvement stores to replace my old reliable Sears wet/dry vac, when its plastic on/off switch snapped off. I wanted something better rather than worse than the old Craftsman, so researched that various contractor grade options, many of which were prohibitively expensive industrial models, including most of the Milwaukees. I love my other US made Milwaukee tools and was relieved to find out this vac (as of my 06/08 purchase) was not one of the products moved to overseas manufacture as has occurred with some Milwaukee tools. Comparing specs for wet/dry vacs is tricky as even the relevant sealed-suction-inches-in-water specs vary in suspect ways. The power of this 8936 model proved to be outstanding and beyond what the bare numbers might suggest, and the motor sounds superior to those on the home improvement store brands (and the old Craftsman) in the same way that a professional power drill/motor sounds so much better than a cheap one. The vac served perfectly in heavy duty use during a kitchen remodel and partial garage remodel. The accessories are expensive, but even the plastic ones are sturdy, and an old-stock metal floor hose set I found is so well designed that I use it for the tile and hardwood floors in the house since the Milwaukee works so much better for this task than even the high-end Dyson vacuum we have in the house. The three position switch turned out to be a huge bonus when I used the on-demand function and slipped the hose directly onto two power sanders and a table saw. I have used the machine regularly for 18 mos without any performance problems and it has met or exceeded very high expectations even though it is a modest machine in Milwaukee's line. Anyone willing to pay what it takes to avoid low quality (and often dangerous), Made in China tools, will be proud and relieved to buy this tool.

great vacuum!!!!
By A Customer
Having had this vacuum for almost a year now I have no regrets. It has been through a lot in a short amount of time and has just kept going. My only problem is one of the wheels broke off but it was my mistake.

I bought this vacuum after researching other brands and I'm glad I decided on the Milwaukee. I've owned several ShopVac's and they lost suction after a short time and I constantly had to clean the filters (I bought three to save myself trips outside to clean them). I also needed a tank that wasn't too big and clumsy to empty and Ialso like that I can use a bag instead of the filter. We're renovating an old farmhouse and the dust and dirt are horrendous... this vacuum takes care of all of it.The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it only comes with a cheap hose, no tools. I bought the tool kit, which is very sturdy and the hose is very flexible, but it's also expensive. The hose that came with the vacuum broke after a short time of use.
