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

This little vac sucks, in just the ways I want it to and better than I hoped would be the case. The best thing about it is is portability, for which I bought it in the first place. After reading some reviews I was worried about its sucking power (as I recall, CFM not even listed on the product page) and considered buying the backpack version with two 5 amp batteries to replace that, but read about even that lacking sufficient sucking power, and even corded ones not pleasing customers in terms of ability to suck, so I finally went back to the original reason I bought this, which was portability and simply hoped the suction would be sufficient. Well it is, and I cant stop myself from turning to find where the cord might be as its hard to get used to being this liberated from electrical cords. In terms of how long it lasted, I first tried it on a partial charge (I first got the 5 amp battery for the Makita blower) and it lasted 15-20 minutes so I thought this full charge trial would tire after 30 minutes but not so! Im not sure how long it lasted, probably 30-40 minutes, but I got through my whole one story house about 3-4 times before I finally gave up on trying to empty the battery completely (assuming its better to charge a completely empty battery than a partially charged one) and simply quit from fatigue and lack of need to spiff up the house any more, and set the battery to charging again, hoping it was low enough not to harm the battery by charging it only partially discharged. So I am most definitely satisfied. Although I have 3-4 corded, high suction vacuums, one of them a powerful Sears canister type, this is going to be my vacuum of choice due to the convenience factor of carrying it around without having to constantly steer and reposition the cord. In my opinion this mini-vac is well designed to go with the 5 amp battery I possessed before buying it.

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 hated using my big corded vacuum. I hated trying to shove the vacuum head into places where it didnt want to go. I hated the onboard tools that fell overboard and were a pain to use. I especially hated repositioning the plug and trying not to run over the cord. I also hated my corded hand vac that screamed so loudly it made my ears ring. So when I bought a Makita drill I ordered this little cordless vacuum (tool only) to go with it. Its great! The suction is enough. Its easy to swap out the slot tool, but seldom necessary as the slim vacuum head fits into small spaces and picks up right to the front edge. Its handy for awkward places like the basement stairs. Its about as quiet as an efficient vacuum can be. A 5-minute daily cleanup and dust dump is all I need now and my 3.0Ah battery seems to last forever. I should add that I do not have carpet. This vacuum works very well on bare wood, concrete, and low-pile rugs, but I would guess that if you have deep-pile carpet you might not be quite so happy with 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.

I bought this for my daughter as a gift because I love this product and have two of these myself. I use them when I clean houses as well as in my own home. Great for collecting dust, fuzz, hair, and small particulate matter, and fog R getting in corners. I bought an extra battery. Nothing wrong with the battery it comes with. The battery with the purchase is good for about 15 minutes. I like the option of having one charge while I work. Not a complaint because having a vacuum that you can use for corners and as described and not having to be connected to a cord is wonderful. I keep my batteries fully charged. Great product. I also picked this one online because it has all the parts and didn’t require buying it piecemeal.

I can not say enough about this broom /vacume. It has changed my life . Its slightly and small.ot fits anywhere. The auction is unbelievable. Its got super suction . I bring it up and down stairs with ease . The white tile bathroom has never looked better . I can grab it for any little crumb in the kitchen, my kitchen floor had never looked better. I really am so happy I bought this . It works on all types of floors. The dog rips apart her toys and it even picks up all the dog toy fluff . The hairs on the bathroom floor are no match for my Makita.. It is must have

Thought we could buy a hand held rechargeable in the $35 range, and you can. Talked to a couple of friends who shared stories of battery failures, broken components that are not available for replacement on the budget models. THIS VACUUM IS AWESOME! As I already own many 18v LI battery Makita tools and batteries, it was the logical choice. Most of our floors are hardwood and this vacuum does an outstanding job cleaning up after our three Westhighland White terriers and a ginger cat. Very light and maneuverable, will access many places our ac powered vac wont go. Wont replace our ac vac for our deep pile carpeted areas where a beater bar is a must.

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.

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.

A great little utility vacuum for home, car, office, etc. It tackles the dirt of two teens, two toddlers, a cat, and two busy parents. It charges quick, and is quick to deploy thanks to its mount. The wide angle head is large enough to make this vacuum usable for large carpets, the narrow head gets into tight spots well, and the scrub brush head will pry up stubborn dust. I also like that you can take out the neck tubing to use it (with or without attachments) for small/tight areas. I even use it to suck up fruit flies before releasing them outside. We were struggling to find a vacuum that we liked, and I decided to purchase the Makita because it looked very functional. It ended up being our favorite vacuum cleaner yet, and helps us keep our kitchen and living room clean. It also makes short work of vacuuming a car. The battery charges in 20 minutes, and lasts a good amount of time between charges. We havent noticed issues with cracking, and were pretty rough on things. You do have to clean it from time to time.
