Any chance you could do a quick video on describing each component to make this exact setup? Adding the parts used on the description page would be greatly appreciated as well. Thx!
Really love the hack and want to do this myself. I’m curious if you have detail shots (close ups) of the USB adapter mounting, the dyson wand to Milwaukee hose connection lock, and the details of wiring?
Please do a detailed vid on how you attached the additional power source. You get the sub though for cheerio on couch hatred, jazz vid outro, and very mindful hack. Much appreciated
True story. I bought a new Dyson cordless vac “animal” model… purchased new I had alway been happy with it, recently I was working in a “rich neighborhood” in a back ally trash bin I found a similar but seemingly older model Dyson cordless vac. Didn’t think it would work but after simply clearing a single Lego it was good to go… I was further surprised to find that the build quality and MATERIALS were MUCH nicer on the OLDER model.
I've done the exact same thing with my set up. I have nothing but Milwaukee power tools with dozens of 12ah, 9ah, 6ah etc batteries to choose from. I hate the weak battery & small capacity of the Dyson's but love the attachments. This is what I used to make my work. Very simple to connect to the two prongs using snap plug connectors in the correct size. I used blue which fit tightly over the prongs & gave me the female end to connect my male prong connectors from the battery to. bought a cheap cigarette lighter coil cord from amazon $12, kit of snap connectors $9 & a Milwaukee power source with fuse & on off switch so I don't have to unplug every time. These are the links for whom ever is interested. The battery connects straight to the two prong attachments & doesn't need to be stepped up or down. Truly is a beast of a vacuum now regardless of weight. Just don't be a sissy & you'll be fine!

Wow, thank you for the wonderful idea! My V8 absolute is getting old and the battery doesn't last long. I was looking for a solution other than spending $800 on the new Dyson, because I want a vacuum with interchangeable batteries. Pretty sure I can figure out the wiring on the Dyson to Milwaukee conversion. You sir are undoubtedly a genius. :)
Can you please please please make a video that shows how you connected the battery wires to the vacuum handle. I bought a Milwaukee vacuum after watching this video but now am considering returning since I don’t want to buy a wand and head from eBay (non returnable) without knowing how to connect the two
haha, your 4 years ahead of me. I was latterly just thinking, I should make a backpack version of my dyson... well done! curious if you made any updates on this.
After cleaning a lot of dust and dog hairs, I've converted to bagged system. There are pros and cons to both, but I think the Bagged system is better in the long run even if it cost a bit more.
How did you manage the wiring from the dyson hose to the second battery. Did you solder it to a cable? Don’t really get it but want to copy your genius work :)
I've been looking to ask Milwaukee to add a motorized floor brush as I was frustrated with all the silly clunky stick vacuums on the market putting heavy load on the hands and just totally not practical at all to get meaningful runtime wo breaking your hand. Backpack/shoulder carrying vacuums are really the ways to go in using cordless vacuums with sufficient runtimes. This kid got a simple hack that works well with the backpack Milwaukee on the hardwood flooring. Nice - Thumbs Up! :-) It was exactly the same concept I was looking for but apparently manufacturers aren't smart thinking enough yet to figure out this obvious solution yet. BTW, can closeup pics be posted for the battery connection and the electrical hookup on the Dyson wand?
Nice project, I noticed immediately the two products would make one super product lol! Did you try wrapping the helical power cable around the vacuum hose? It should still stretch fine but probably look cleaner and be less prone to getting snagged.
Omg 😳 That’s amazing. I love it. I was researching for hours how to plug a Dyson mini turbine (the small one for upholstery/ car fabric cleaning) on to a plug in the wall vac. This is for a dedicated car cleaning machine (semi commercial atm). Now I know 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️ I haven’t checked the voltage that comes out of that attachment wiring yet so I’ll do that now to make sure it’s no higher than 18v. The dysons are around 20v by memory. If there is a large voltage difference, how to I lower it?
I think I would do something like that if it was something work that was not crap. Because I soldered the barrel connectors to the wand It's not necessarily something I'm proud of doing. I tried to get someone to 3d model it and print an adapter for wiring, but they wanted close to $2k. So I didn't go for that. In short it's just barrel connectors connecting M18 power to the wand. Maybe over the next few days If I can find time I'll try to make up a video on something along the lines, but right now been cleaning up after hurricane zeta.
It’s Data from the Goonies. That’s what I thought when you put the belt on. Is the dyson motor straight dc-? Not pwm or brushless? Never mind I looked at my dyson heads.
It actually does pretty good with that until the filter clogs up. I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy drywall clean up because as soon as the filter clogs up the suction drops quickly. If you’re doing anything with drywall dust, I would highly recommend some type of dust extraction system with a bag. For sawdust, it actually works great as long as we’re not talking about dust from MDF.
Milwaukee can produce a similar accessory using auxiliary power like this video that way a motorized floor brush can work with all M12/M18 vacuums Milwaukee doesn't need to redo all its vacuums.
Hay where did you get the power adaptor, flex wire, and most important the plug/adapter that would fit into the Dyson wand? Or are you just using generic plug and splicing power to the Dyson wand? Thanks
I feel like Dysons charge a premium price almost up there with Sebo and Miele, but give you the quality of a Shark vacuum... Also Sharks are overpriced too, but not quite like Dysons
I used the M18 power source for milwaukee batteries. It has a barrel output for heated jacket use that outputs 12v. I rewired mine to output 18v. amzn.to/2TP8Inl Same thing with dewalt and makita power source adapters. Well the Makita power source does not have a barrel adapter. I wired a pigtail barrel connector to it for power. I had a couple of these left over from a previous project, which came in handy. amzn.to/2XHEsMt
Milwaukee vacuums prettyy much basic in filtration, clogs easily. If one needs similar to this, canister separate from brush/head, check out the Black and Dexker or Shark
Still doing great. wish the handle connection was better. also wish i knew someone that can do build with injection molding a part or two. as for cleaning. it speeds up cleaning with the backpack instead of a stick vac.
You can use proteam paper filters, using it between the cone and the base of the original filter, it remains like a membrane, it filters more and gives more minutes per load.
Cheaper and better if you just get a different back pack vacuum Milwaukee didn’t get it good enough It’s super heavy it clogs right away within minutes with any fine dust it just makes it useless
lmao 🤣 actually pro team makes the best commercial back pack battery backpack the only problem they cost about $1500 again reason why knowing comes even close to the suction power dyson is good for homes lol not for commercial but pro team yeah it has a little more suction but this is the thing is how much more is it more for the 1500 to 1800 price tag and not to mention its 8 months out i am a commercial cleaner i need it now so i am this milwaukee has enough suction the makita was no good
I use that milwaukee and with some improvements I can ensure that it works just like a proteam. i use my milwaukee with proteam paper filters and i made the container suction holes bigger and lastly i changed the vacuum tube for an aluminum proteam
This is awesome that somebody actually made this. I was thinking of doing this myself. I can’t believe it’s already been done.
Any chance you could do a quick video on describing each component to make this exact setup?
Adding the parts used on the description page would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thx!
😂😂😂.. bro you fixed a problem that two humongous companies can't.
Can you send a link on how to quick connect the wiring for the dyson extension / roller? Great idea and video

You should design and manufacture M18 powered carpet and floor heads for the Milwaukee vacuums - I think you would be able to sell a lot of them.
You have them.

Yeah. Good stuff!
Just leaving this here to make my own one. Could you maybe make a tutorial how to exactly do it in a video format? :)
I just put a m18 conversion kit in my Dyson vacuum, I think I’ll keep it that way, great video though !
Wow, thank you for the wonderful idea! My V8 absolute is getting old and the battery doesn't last long. I was looking for a solution other than spending $800 on the new Dyson, because I want a vacuum with interchangeable batteries.
Pretty sure I can figure out the wiring on the Dyson to Milwaukee conversion. You sir are undoubtedly a genius. :)
Lots of knockoff V8 dyson batts on amazon for $20. Remove 3 screws, velcro strap, hot swap the batts.
They are also 4-5Ah insead of stock 2.8Ah.

Thanks! Great video! Do you have the build instructions for the power source for all the attachments?
I've been trying to find a manufacturer to build or 3d print a connector the hose, but they fell through. will have to start the search again
It would be nice if it’s still used the trigger system that the Dyson has to turn the vacuum on and off
yeah that would be good
Help can you post detailed info on how to connect the cord to the dyson power wand. And were to get the cord.
I think I would do something like that if it was something work that was not crap. Because I soldered the barrel connectors to the wand It's not necessarily something I'm proud of doing.

@@4thewinak why do you need to change out the wires to make it 18v instead of 12v? Also how did you connect to the Dyson (the 2 pins).
This is awesome.
YO BUD MAKE A MORE DETAIL VIDEO ON CONNECTING IT TO THE POWER BRUSH IF YOU CAN
i was originally trying to source someone to make the 3D prints... but those guys fell through.. so on the look out again...
Is there anyway to tap into the main battery compartment? Great idea but we could make it more seamless!
He did mentoon that, but also mentioned how he rather not modify the Milwaukee Vacuum for warranty reasons.
It’s Data from the Goonies. That’s what I thought when you put the belt on. Is the dyson motor straight dc-? Not pwm or brushless? Never mind I looked at my dyson heads.
Pretty sweet brother!
Have you seen the new fuel compact vacuum with power head?
How does it do picking up drywall dust or saw dust?
Thank you.
It actually does pretty good with that until the filter clogs up. I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy drywall clean up because as soon as the filter clogs up the suction drops quickly. If you’re doing anything with drywall dust, I would highly recommend some type of dust extraction system with a bag. For sawdust, it actually works great as long as we’re not talking about dust from MDF.
The Milwaukee is a 18v with a 12.0 amp hr battery. Would love to see a dyson vs the new compact vacume.
Great job!!
Love it!!!
You're a genius. lol
I was always hoping Milwaukee would make a power head for the back pack vac
me too
@@4thewinak I think they ma need to create a gen 2 with a power head setup.
Milwaukee can produce a similar accessory using auxiliary power like this video that way a motorized floor brush can work with all M12/M18 vacuums Milwaukee doesn't need to redo all its vacuums.
10 sec in. Already love the video.
Genius
Hay where did you get the power adaptor, flex wire, and most important the plug/adapter that would fit into the Dyson wand? Or are you just using generic plug and splicing power to the Dyson wand? Thanks
Just a generic plug adapter soldered on to the dyson leads.
Fantastic!!!
You should work for Milwaukee!
Its the shark ionflex 2x duoclean for me. Only because I'm not a ghost buster....lol
OK ........
I feel like Dysons charge a premium price almost up there with Sebo and Miele, but give you the quality of a Shark vacuum... Also Sharks are overpriced too, but not quite like Dysons
how did you get the wire attached to the top usb battery adaptor, mine only has 2 usb
I used the M18 power source for milwaukee batteries. It has a barrel output for heated jacket use that outputs 12v. I rewired mine to output 18v. amzn.to/2TP8Inl

How is this setup doing for you after a year?
Still doing great. wish the handle connection was better. also wish i knew someone that can do build with injection molding a part or two.
as for cleaning. it speeds up cleaning with the backpack instead of a stick vac.
Can you buy the dyson part individually without buy a whole dyson vacuum?
Yes you can. I'd recommend Ebay. Just buy the power head for either the V7 or V8. They are basically the same head.
😄如果有搭配字幕,會更好👍
So smart haha
Bruh! Yes!
DUDE YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY ASK MILWAUKEE FOR A JOB IN THERE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OR YOU MAYBE WE WILL SEE YOU ON SHARK TANK ONE DAY , LOL
the filter for this vacuum clogs quickly and is expensive
You can use proteam paper filters, using it between the cone and the base of the original filter, it remains like a membrane, it filters more and gives more minutes per load.
Cheaper and better if you just get a different back pack vacuum Milwaukee didn’t get it good enough
It’s super heavy it clogs right away within minutes with any fine dust it just makes it useless
agreed
lol pretty cool except the fact that that Frankenstein vacuum probably cost over 1000 dollars to make. which is insane
Nope more like $400.
$300 for M18 vac., $100 for the vac head/wand, ebay. Everybody already has M18 batts/charrgers.
Add 250 or more for that 12ah m18 battery.
Its all together about $1000 dollars actually. Im making one now😎
