The M18™ Brushless Refrigerant Recovery Machine delivers instant power and no hassle, giving HVAC technicians complete cordless convenience on the job. By removing the need to search for outlets or manage extension cords, this solution streamlines service calls and maximizes productivity. Kitted with Milwaukee’s M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ HD12.0 battery pack, the recovery machine transfers up to 10 pounds of refrigerant with optimized speed and runtime. Designed for modern refrigerants, the Recovery Machine is A2L compatible, reinforcing Milwaukee’s commitment to providing dedicated HVAC solutions that tackle core challenges without compromise.

Pairing this new Recovery Machine with the existing M18 FUEL™ 5 CFM Vacuum Pump delivers the industry’s first fully cordless service calls, unlocking unmatched productivity for HVAC technicians. Eliminating the need to search for outlets, ask customers for access to power, or drag extension cords onto a roof; this combination saves time and reduces jobsite frustrations. Both solutions are A2L compatible to meet the new refrigerant standards, giving technicians confidence while working with modern refrigerants.

This solution is equipped with a daylight-readable LCD screen for visibility in any environment, allowing technicians to easily assess system levels. Helping protect equipment and ensure efficient operation, adjustable low-pressure shut-off and high-pressure shut-off points provide precise control during recovery. A balanced carrying handle enables single-handed transport, making it easy to move the machine between service locations. These thoughtful design elements combine to deliver a solution that prioritizes convenience, safety, and efficiency for HVAC professionals.

Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day's work on one battery system. The M18™ Brushless Refrigerant Recovery Machine is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 300 solutions.
