Makita - 18V LXT® Lithium-ion Compact Cordless Vacuum, Tool Only (XLC02ZB)

I tried the "New LXT" next to the XGT before buying. The XGT has a considerably less annoying sound profile... this is way more significant than it sounds, especially for wife/gf approval factor The LXT is kinda whiny and annoying sounding. According to your numbers, the XGT has 17% higher suction and 20% higher airflow. In practice I did find this extra power significant. u/trickster2, you say Dyson is better but I dont agree. (I DO have a Dyson v11), the power head fell apart after a year and if you are using it on high the battery lasts a pitiful \~6-8min then takes forever to charge. (and the battery & motor are unreliable POS, requried several replacements) With the Makita you can cycle batteries and clean continuously. In practice I have several batteries but only need to cycle 2 for vacuum use.

18v makita handheld works great on dog hair and spilled food

Makita 18v vacuum... They've got a few but there car cleaning one is good.

Cordless stick vacuums are all more or less disposable, even the expensive ones. The designs are updated frequently and are not made to be repaired, even if you’re able to find parts. I have a Makita cordless which should last a while for quick jobs, but it’s not very powerful. My home vacuum is a 15 year old Miele Swing H1 stick vacuum. It’s corded, but light and powerful, and the bags make everything so much cleaner and more convenient. Personally, I find the cord less annoying than charging. My parents’ heavily used Sebo Airbelt D1 canister vacuum is around 20 years old. Both work perfectly. If I were in the market for a new vacuum, I would buy a Sebo as they are super durable, easily repaired, and very well designed. If I were on a budget, I’d purchase a used Miele. If you want something older, vintage Electrolux vacuums are great once the inevitable deferred maintenance is taken care of. We have a canister vacuum from the seventies at one house and an upright from the nineties at another, both of which are going strong, and both of which have bags and many spare parts readily available.

I have the XLC02 with the cyclone attachment. It works well for what it is. We use it around doors and for quick pickups in the kitchen, mud off of shoes etc. 15-20 minutes of battery life continuous on a 5ah battery. What it is not is a replacement for a full vacuum with powered beater bar. At our lake house I got a Tineco A10. It works very well and I use it on carpets. I have no complaints. It is more of a vacuum replacement for home than a Makita stick.

works so good my wife stole it from me i got the 18v came in the makita tool bundle. used it for my truck for awhile then my wife seen and had the long tube she took it and use it for the house. it has better power than most vacuum i have a ton of 18 v battery that i don’t use. i transfer over the 40v and i think the 40 v vac has more power in my opinion but she swears by the 18v

I loved the 18v one that we use at home enough that I bought one for my jobsite. They aren't full fledged vacuum cleaners. They're a really excellent version of a dust buster that work remarkably well, for their size. That's all.

Nee, een koordloze stofzuiger moet je eigenlijk zien als een kruimeldief en niet als een volwaardige stofzuiger. Als kruimeldief bevalt mij deze van [Makita ](https://www.toolmax.nl/makita-dcl180zb-accu-stofzuiger-p-12852.html?utm_source=adhouse7&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=%5B20181-104204%5D%5B8e541870-693c-413c-97ac-6f3d51235c6c%5D) mij zeer goed. maar is alleen betaalbaar als je al makita accu's hebt

We have the small vacume on lxt with stick snd it great for small jobs. And we have the big robot one (fairly cheap a while ago) and it is great but fir full price a expensive one. It will upgrade soon to the workshop. But for normale vacuming better get a corded dyson. expensive but easy to repair and great value.

I have the makita cordless vacuum. It’s great, cheap and really light (also comes in pink btw). Purchased in The Netherlands
