Is this ok to buy?
I would like a small vac to clean my workbenches and kids crumbs. The other option is the pull out the shop vac or central vac
Since we keep a m12 flashlight it is easily swapped to do clean ups

It's pretty poor. I would not recommend. I really think Milwaukee screwed up, I don't understand why it can't be somewhat better. I'm a diehard Milwaukee fan but I call out the fails.

I have one and use it inside the house for the dog hair and kids messes and honk it works fine for that with a hard floor surface. It doesn't work well with carpet though.

I own two of them and love them. Wife uses one for dog hair removal on the couch and I use one for a quick clean up on work benches. The battery lasts about 20 minutes. They seem to be well built and have the 5 year warranty. They are designed for exactly what you want.

I was gonna say this too. We use ours to **** dog hair off tile, but that's about its limit. Anything carpet or fabric, it's not much good.

I use mine for to clean up a few misc. wood shavings after cleaning my guinea pig's cage and for other small, light duty tasks. It works perfectly for that. I equate it to a Shark vacuum or something along those lines. The fact that it uses the M12 batteries which I have lots of means I can just grab another battery instead of waiting for it to charge.

I wouldn't buy one unless you already have M12 tools. There are better options out there once you factor in the cost of a battery and charger.
