I'm trying to decide between getting the M18 Packout vacuum or just sticking with the regular non-Packout model. The non-Packout version is priced at $65, which is pretty tempting. What do you all think? Is the extra cost for the Packout worth it?

I've had the Packout vacuum, and I've got to say, it's better for suction, runtime, and noise level when compared to the non-Packout. If you're after an upgrade, I would definitely recommend it!
From what I've seen, both vacuums perform quite similarly, but the Packout model is noticeably quieter. It also has some perks like better access to the hose and the ability to use bags. Ultimately, it depends on whether those features matter enough to you to justify the extra cost.
I own the original non-Packout model, and while it's still running strong after a few years, I do think the Packout is worth considering for its brushless motor, reduced noise, and exterior hose storage. Just makes things more convenient, you know?
Yeah, and the handle setup on the Packout makes it easier to transport without mess.

Totally agree! If you're working in noise-sensitive areas, the Packout might be the way to go.
