Makita - CL002G

I have the cl282, cl285 and a cl002. I use them mostly for vacuuming up hair and other visable particles from non-carpeted floors. Sometimes I use them on sawdust with the external cyclone attachment. These vacs serve me well in those applications. The 40v is the best but if you’re on 18v then the 285 is noticeably stronger and has better sound quality than the 282.

We have 4 of the Makita XGT 40v vacs. Get that. choose between the (CL001, CL002, CL003, CL004) You want the XGT 40v here. The LXT 18v vacs are not as good

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.

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

The only vac imo that is a good battery main replacement are the xgt 40v. There i have a twin 18v which is main or battery and it's amazing on mains and pretty good on battery. I have had a few of the stick vacs and they are 'ok' for a quick run round but you would still want a 'proper' vac as well

I just got the XGT from Japan so I can get the cyclone. I like it so far and it does a good job. (I do have hardwood floors no carpet)

I use their stick Vacuum, I don't have carpet so it does work great for us. We empty it pretty much each time we do the whole house, but it's also not an assel to grab it for small mess.

I got a simple Makita stick vacuum because of this, it uses makita batteries

The makita stick vac is for hard floors only just FYI it's pretty gutless tbh I still use it on my hard floors though

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

For corded, I have an Irish Ohyama model of some variety I bought 9 years ago that still does the job just fine when needed (though we mostly use a Makita cordless these days since it's more convenient).

Tatsächlich hier als Hauptgerät ein kabelgebundener Sauger (Hundehaare) und für fix was weg machen ein einfacher Makita Akku Sauger weil wir als Hausbesitzer mit Garten jede Menge Akkus haben dank diverser Geräte. Ist aber auch wirklich nur für mal ebenen fix geeignet.
