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

Same cracks as everyone else. Design flaw. Uneven force will be applied to this spot when connecting and using daily. The crack WILL happen eventually to each and every unit; whether it will break catastrophically will vary. I did the same thing as AJ, one of the reviewers here by cutting off the bottom of a 30mm A-10 Warthog shot glass and used the tube as reinforcement. I had 6 of those shot glasses lying around so his idea made wonders. What I did extra was adding JB Weld to both surfaces (scuff the plastic and metal before applying the glue). I hammered the tube down gently. Once its settled, this spot becomes much stronger and doesnt look ugly. This repair should be done early on instead of waiting till the cracks develop further. BTW, the new version of this vacuum now uses clip in style instead of friction - which I believe to be no good because the weak spot remains weak while you no longer have the option to mend it by adding a straight tube. The picture shows that I cut the tube longer to the edge of spout. Picture uploading function is not available now. Still dont know why there is no uploading pic button anymore...

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.

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

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

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.

If you are looking for a cordless vacuum that actually picks things up and the battery doesnt die after 10 minutes, this is for you! I stumbled upon this when I was looking for a cordless stick vacuum. There are a few other popular brands that come up in searches, but this is advertised as a work shop vac and it was the find of the year! Makita is a very well made brand, and the same goes for this product. We have a 2,800 square foot home with mostly tile or wood floors. The floors are dark, and we have a white dog, so you can imagine my annoyance with white dog hair on dark wood floors. Ive been using this for over a month and it works great. Sucks up hair, cereal, leaves and junk brought in from the outside. You can use it with the floor attachment, remove that for corners, or you can remove the long stick arm and use it for a handheld on the stairs (which I do all the time). There is a separate carpet attachment available for order, which I ordered, to use on my carpeted stairs, and I like that attachment as well. I use it 2-3 times per day to touch up my floors, and the charge lasts most of the week! Would highly recommend this cordless vac!

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.

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.

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.
