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

I love this vacuum. I have a golden retriever and they shed constantly. Iuse mine daily. This vacuum sucks up all the hair with a quick once over. And its not too heavy and easy to empty out.

We got one after seeing our neighbors and were so pleased with it that we bought another one so that we can have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Its great for pulling out to do a quick clean up but is durable enough for doing regular cleaning. Works well on hardwood and tile floors and picks up on carpets as well. Its lightweight making it possible for anyone to use it and its size doesnt take up a lot of space to store. The filter is easy to clean so maintenance is simple. Overall highly recommended!

I use it in my studio for quick clean-ups around various in-progress projects. Its great to have in between bigger cleaning projects requiring more powerful vacuum. I like having it for its convenience. I wish to attachment size was more universal, to use other vacuum brushes I have laying around, but oh well.

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.

Ive had this product for almost four years. Still works as good as the first day. Its great for dog hair on hard floors, and small cleanups. The battery which is basically a power tool battery still holds a charge as well as it did when it was new. A little unpleasant to clean out the filter, but as long as you clean it after each use, it wont build up much of an odor the way a vacuum cleaner bag will or some of the other hand held units that capture animal hair.

Ive used cordless vacuums before in the past but gave up on them as they were only as good as the lifetime of the battery. This sucker has a removeable battery with its own separate charger!

My husband recently expressed a wish for a small vacuum, not for major jobs but for the periodic pick up jobs that we all have from time to time - orzo spilled across the kitchen floor, for example. He was particularly impressed that this vac was made by Makita, a favorite line of tools in his construction business. We ordered this in mid-July, received it on Aug 1, and it slipped out of the return window at the end of August. Now, on September 13, he has used it enough that it needed to be emptied. Emptying this little vac created such a mess on the floor that he had to vacuum it up with a larger vacuum. He finds the process of emptying this little vac so unpleasant that he wants, badly, to return it. He is one of those folks we all know who can figure anything out, but this process is simply too difficult. I would volunteer to empty it for him when he vacuums, but he reminds me that he is vacuuming to protect my asthma and allergies, which would be triggered by vacuuming, let alone a dusty emptying routine. We have spent thousands with Amazon over the years, and nearly never return anything, but the difficulty of emptying this vacuum warrants an attempt. Alas, we will now have to throw ourselves on the mercy of Makita.

The entrance to our house was constantly dirty. Thanks to the Makita 18V cordless vacuum, our entrance is now clean. Kept in the coat closet, its always ready to go and right there. No cords, just grab it, pull the trigger, and a couple swipes later...clean floors. This vacuum is a game changer. LOVE IT! The availability of replacement filters is also why I bought this.

Having cats and working construction leads to a lot of messes. I was always finding little patches of hair in my home and piles of dirt in my car. It was always a hassle to have to haul out the old corded vacuum or go to the car wash just to handle a little mess. This little guy can take care of all my little messes with ease and does it with convenience. I tried to go the cheap route and was let down. This is worth every penny. Good suction, great battery life, sleek design, useful included attachments.

I have one and have given 3 as gifts. Everybody loves them. Lots of power and handy to use.
