Makita XLC02ZB 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Vacuum, Tool Only

Work well for most thing

A number of years ago I was looking for a hand vac. I read lots of reviews and this one had so much praise, but what impressed me was the positive reviews from men on ease of use because of the extension and the strong suction. One man said he even made it longer for him with pvc pipe. I bought one and it is one of the best investments I have ever made. Since then I have bought five more. Two of those were bought for our oldest son, one for a baby gift and then another one when they bought a two story house ( one for each level). I gave another son one when he and his wife moved. I have three. Two of those are at our primary home and the other at a second home. This vacuum is wonderful! I just got my third one and it came with a wall hanger. None of my others had this. I have looked for the holder as a separate purchase but no success. I hope Makita offers this soon.

Great product, and price, would definitely recommend

What’s not to like. No cord, easy to use, easy to store, and it works great!

Im a single guy living in an apartment, and my entire downstairs is laminate, with a carpeted upstairs. This is perfect for me, especially since the laminate in the kitchen shows every little crumb I drop. This is handy to grab, sweep and go. Its not the most powerful vacuum, but as long as you arent trying to sweep up a garage or alot of pet hair, it is powerful enough to pick up dust, dirt, crumbs and other little things. Also, be sure to keep the filter clean and dump out the mess regularly, to help maintain the motor.

With three hairy, constantly shedding dogs in our 6,000 sq ft house, this makes capturing those inevitable dust bunnies an easy task. Add to that the light weight, good power, and standard Makita batteries (which we have plenty of) this not only saves time but our backs as well as we can just walk around and make quick work of our daily cleaning task.

I trust Makita product. It is very reliable and durable. Quality of this product also meets Makita quality standard, I believe. However, what I dont like is how we damp the collected dust. The dust sticks to filter inside and I need to use my hand to remove them. My hands get dirty, eventually. It could have been a much better product if we have hands-free damping mechanism.

Bought this for quick pick-ups in the laundry room where the cats litter box is kept. So good, I use it for quick pick-ups around the whole house. I use Milwaukee batteries and bought an 18 volt Milwaukee to Makita battery adapter on Amazon for $12. Works great!

I’ve been using this for about a month. Most of my use is for quick pickups of sand, spot cleaning, or cat litter. In Florida we have a lot of sandy soil. I have 4 dogs, and 4 cats with fur. The other pets don’t have fur, or hair. I DO NOT have carpet!!! This vacuum is used on my tile and laminate wood flooring. If you use this on carpet your experience may be different. I wasn’t expecting much since I had paid $80.00 for a different highly rated cordless vacuum, on Amazon. (Sowtech was horrible, it didn’t pick up much at all.) This Makita cordless vacuum works pretty good. I like that it’s easy to clean, and wash the filters. I’ve bought a better battery, replacement filters, and pre-filters. Later on I wanted to make sure I’d still be able to use the vacuum, so I made sure to purchase anything I would need replace. I do agree the on button should have some sort of lock for the bigger messes, but it isn’t that much of an inconvenience to hold the button. The charger is nice, and plays a tune when you have seated the battery properly, and plays again when the battery is fully charged. The battery does NOT last long. In my opinion, I think the battery it comes with, could last longer. I’ve only had it a month, and I have not had any problems with breakage.

This little vacuum works great! Used on job sites to clean up small debris and keep customers home looking nice. Worth my money.
