M18 compact collection with a separate dry-to-wet filter changeover.

Exact identity

0880-20 with 58-14-0074d3 M18 manual; older combined-model guidance is not assumed.

Power arrangement

M18 battery operation; no mains operating lead.

Nominal tank

2 gallons, 45 CFM and 32 inH2O are separate published specifications.

Collection configuration

49-90-1900 for dry pickup; remove dry filter for wet pickup and retain float cage.

Important distinction

49-90-2016 fleece bag is not listed for 0880-20; a shared filter does not prove bag compatibility.

A source check date records this research pass. It does not confirm that a manual is the newest possible revision, a tool is still in production, or a particular unit matches these documents.

Keep the limits in view.

  • Documentation-based guidance; no hands-on performance or reliability claim.
  • Match the actual nameplate, manual revision and approved accessories before use.
  • No general authorization for hazardous dust, combustible material, sewage or flood cleanup.

Read the instructions for the tool and any applicable battery or charger together. Routine owner care stays outside the housing; internal service belongs with the manufacturer or an authorized service provider.

Guides for this model

Explore controls, comparisons and documentation for this exact model.

  • Wash and dry the right filter

    Compare the DEWALT compact wet/dry filter and Milwaukee 49-90-1900 dry-filter instructions without importing brush, turning or drying rules between them.

  • Blowing instead of pickup

    Distinguish a hose connected to the blower port from weak suction, tank cutoff or a blockage on the selected DEWALT and Milwaukee compact vacuums.

  • 0880-20 filter changeover

    Separate the 0880-20 dry filter, optional wet foam and float cage before turning a small cordless cleanup into a water-pickup job.

  • 0880-20 vs 0970-20

    Choose between two US M18 wet/dry vacuums using documented collection-system differences rather than treating a shared battery and filter as identical capability.

  • Three filter and bag numbers

    Build a small compatibility card for 0880-20 and 0970-20, separating the dry filter, wet foam and fleece bag instead of buying by appearance.
