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

LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I use it all the time. Works wonderfully.

I vacuum tile floors daily and love the versatility and power

This works well, but yep observations; 1) strange to keep the trigger pulled while vacuuming. 2) the top part is oddly heavy because of the battery. Took a little to get used to it and now it’s all good.

No es tan bueno como esperaba

I ordered it for my hubbys shop but, instead I use it in our RV. It works great for small spaces

I own 3, one in the garage, one in the house and one in my suv. As someone who owned a dyson handheld and other cheaper models over the years, lack of suction and just really poor battery time (5-8min) made them go in the garbage quickly. This baby I have had for 3+ years and man they still go strong, I have tons of makita batteries so if it dies I pop in another. Easily has 30min run time on high. Buy the cyclone attachment if your using it in the house as it works well. We have a robot vac in the house and use this for spot cleaning and the stairs. In the garage it’s excellent and great for keeping the car clean.

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 love tools powered by rechargeable batteries and have loved my grass trimmer, blower and power drill. So when I saw this vacuum cleaner and decent reviews AND reasonable price, I went for it and now I have two!! My home has never been so clean. If you have time to do the whole house, you can, but often, just a couple of rooms is all you have time for. It makes vacuuming quick, easy and so convenient. Its plenty powerful and the reach of the nozzle is fantastic. Easy to get under beds and sofas and tight corners. Cleaning the filter is a cinch. I bought a larger battery just as a back up but I have never really lost the charge. This is so great that I thought my daughter might find it useful for her suite at college. Shes never been a neatnik but its so light, convenient and quick and easy that she and one of her roommates sent me a cute picture of them with the vacuum cleaner. Too bad she wont let me post it!! 10/29/18 - a bit disappointed with the cracking of the blue/neck part which connects the rod. The very few poor reviews seem to experience the same problem. Some recommend a hose clamp and report great success. What style and size etc.? I tried duct tape and it works ok but the nozzle gets lose. It should be stronger with perhaps a latch to secure it while it has the hose/rod attachment. I am probably too aggressive with it and I am certainly vacuuming more than I ever did. It is still a GREAT little vacuum. It just needs to physically last for longer than a few months. But the design and the power and the convenience so far cant be beat. The physical body needs to stand up to the rest of it.

This isnt going to compete against a well-made, large vacuum, but for small clean-ups, its marvelous. The filter is easy to clean, and even when the dirt reservoir fills up, it still retains its effectiveness.

You would think “shop” vacuum with it being Makita, but this is better than the last 2 “home” vacuums we’ve had. Great suction, battery lasts longer than listed (30min listed, I get 45min to an hour with 3.0 battery. Convenient holster for hanging.
