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

Awesome for any flooring clean up, corners, under, behind, easy for pets, kids, etc!

Very light. Battery lasts forever. Great for floors and stairs. Not good enough for carpet though. Sadly, it’s just not strong enough for carpet. Otherwise, I love this thing. No cord, no hassle, zips through kitchen and bathroom in seconds. Picks up hair like crazy, no tangled rotary thing so hair cyclones right in. Great little tool.

Very light and powerful East to use

I have had this vacuum for 1 1/2 years and it is the same as the day I bought it. The quality is amazing especially since I seem to drop it often. The sucking power is much better then other vacuums and often vacuum my whole house(Pergo flooring) because of the convenience of the vacuum. I need to use the vacuum often because I have a bird that litters the floor with seeds often. It even vacuums up larger pieces easily. I have 4 family members that love the vacuum and ended up buying one also even though the price of the vacuum is expensive (in my opinion). But all that have bought it agrees the cost is worth it. I can not say enough good things about this vacuum. Once you have the battery and charger it is a lot cheaper for just vacuum replacement. But I have not had to buy a new one yet. You will need to buy the vacuum filters, but I often just tap the dust out of the filter instead of replacing it.

Works as intended very light.

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.

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

I found this a good tool for areas that require cleaning between your usual routine with a more powerful vacuum. Like at entrance areas, around kitchen table and counters. Computer stations, etc. Great on staircases. Look at this tool as being designed for convenience. It will not replace a full size canister or upright vacuum. The filter will require cleaning every time you use it. I use a small brush to brush off the filter and the inside of the filter canister housing the filter. The filter bag can be placed over 3 or 4 fingers and clapped in your hands to shake out fine dust. It can also be hand washed and left to dry before reinstalling. I think the reason for some bad reviews are: Not cleaning the filter when dirty. Not reassembling the unit correctly after cleaning. Attempting to do jobs meant for a full size vacuum. This may be one of the lightest duty vacuums on the market. And one of the most convenient. Either use it as such, or dont buy this unit. The reason I bought two of them is I already have Makita power tools with batteries and charger. The batteries are shared among all my tools. I would probably not have made these vacuum purchases if I had to buy batteries for each vacuum. I think the price of this unit is at the reasonable limit before batteries are added to the price. If you need to buy batteries and charger just for this unit alone, I would look elsewhere. The one and 2 star reviews didnt read the user manual.

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.

Great product, and price, would definitely recommend
