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

I needed a small vacuum for quick jobs around the house - but dont have any room to keep it on a charging dock. This is a great solution. I have been using the vacuum in hand held mode for over a month now, and have not had to re-charge the battery yet. This fits my needs perfectly. I will add that if you need something for a more deep clean, this may not be as good since it only had 3 attachments. I also dont think this would work on carpet or fabrics.

OMG I used this vacuum for the first time at my boyfriends house and when I got home I am mediately ordered one for myself. It is the best vacuum I had ever owned and I have owned Dyson and Bissels, but this one is the best. It gets into my corners without me having to bend over it has different attachments as well. So glad I found the Makita cordless vac.

Dang, I really got the impression that Makita didnt really make this thing. Ive got a ton of cordless products (mostly the 18v stuff) and a bunch of corded stuff from Makita. Why? Cause they work great! and I have never been able to break a Makita product (some of this stuff is going on 20 years old and its been used everyday in brutal work environments!). Ordinarily Makita products really impress and totally exceed expectations --this thing, on the other hand, is just a glorified dust buster IMHO. I expect to pay a higher price for Makita cause it lasts forever and performs flawlessly --Im kinda pissed I paid more for this thing though... YMMV UPDATE: OK, I might have been wrong about this thing but you need the Cyclonic Vacuum Attachment to make it work decent --for me anyway. The attachment will hold much more crud than the base unit and make it much more practical (the stock volume is ridiculously small). Second, its so portable and light that I find Im using it all the time for stairs and any little mess that comes along. In sum, Ive upped this from 2 to 4 stars for ease of use, battery life (just the 3Ah type), and decent volume with the attachment. Still cant give it 5 stars cause its still a little light on sucking power and I really think Makita should either re-design it to hold more volume or include the Cyclonic Attachment with the unit.

This light vacuum is the greatest. Ive only had to charge it once in 2 months. Its super easy to use. No cords. Just gram, use, putaway. I LOVE this and recommend it highly.

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.

What do I like about this... Everything! It is light weight, easy to use, attachments easy to swap out. Battery and charger expertly made. Charger has a fan to keep it cool while fast charging. Light indicates good condition, beeps when done, also indicates if battery has issues. I used this as soon as it charged. (20 min) Picked up more than my regular vacuum designed for pet hair. It took about 5 minutes to fast clean my no pile wall to wall carpet. A 20 x 14 foot room. Glitter, circle dots, hair, grass, and dirt. I wasnt expecting 5 minutes to fill the tank! The floor didnt look dirty except a little light glitter form a dress and a couple of hole punches that missed the trashcan. I should have opened it over a trash can. My mistake underestimating what it accomplished for test run. Of course it cleaned up my mistake quick. Then I re-dumped and disaster avoided. I have always loved Makita tools but didnt think I would be the proud owner of 0ne. I have ordered the leaf blower and a tool collection of drills. If they work half as well I will be a customer for life. Seller got it to me a day ahead of schedule.

Really convenient not to have to deal with a cord and hose to pick up hair, dust and light debris. Suction is adequate but does not compete with my shop vac. Easy to empty and store on included bracket.

Works great

I only use this as a hand held dustbuster only. Suction is good, lightweight, charge lasts a long time. Only downside for me is that you must hold the button to keep it running. I would prefer the ability to click it on and off without having my thumb constantly holding it in the ON position. At first I didnt think such a simple thing would matter to me, but after time and depending on the job, I find it annoying that it just doesnt stay on until I click it off.

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