m28 vacuum question

I seen a good price in craigslist for this vacuum and my question is will it take m18 batteries?

The model number is 0780-20 and it’s a 28v. The seller listed as taking m18 batteries but can’t find any info on it

Sorry Javier the 0780-20 won’t work with the M18 batteries. The 0880-20 works with Milwaukee older 18v packs though.

Here is where I found the information.

That stinks, I hate it when people don’t know what their talking about when listing items for sale.

Here’s the ad, would’ve been awesome if it did only $50

I wonder what shape it was in. I hate when people use stock photos on Craigslist.

I spotted the same CL add last night, even sent the guy an email…

I have the 0880 18V model and it’s a handy little bastard. I do wish they had a cord for backup though.

 yeah everyone’s got a cell camera and it’s easy to upload. I believe the guy about it being hardly used and probably in great shape but most likely all dirty and dusty. I don’t get why people post pics of their dirty gear to sell. It’s only hurting their sale. When i post stuff I’ll clean it good and even use furniture polish. It brings up the appearance and value

I want one but for the retail price I’ll wait for the corded version, but for $50 it’s hard to pass up, well that is if it took m18 batteries.

Hey conductor, what size batteries do you use on the vacuum and what’s your runtime?

I use the 3.0ah packs that came with my kit (3 years old). Runtime is 10 minutes or so of continuous runtime.
