That is a lot of performance and convenience for less than a hundred bucks.įollow the Buy Now link below to purchase the Makita compact vacuum from Acme.ĭan is the ultimate believer in “if you want something done right, you do it yourself.” He is currently working as a General Contractor building a series of custom farmhouses. However, if you already own Makita LXT batteries and chargers, the bare tool option is an outstanding value! Our friends at Acme Tool are currently offering the bare tool option for $89.00. The kit currently retails online for around $129.00, which is a good value in my opinion. The Makita 18V LXT vacuum is available as a bare tool or as a kit with a single 2.0 Ah battery. The Makita vacuum also includes an 8″ wide floor nozzle and a plastic holder to mount the Makita vacuum to the wall. If you don’t have compressed air, no worries- shaking it off will be just fine. Occasionally, I like to blow the filters off with the air gun to give them a deep clean. When I am in a rush I just tap them against the garbage can to clean them off. Once the debris has been dumped, you can shake the cloth filters to clean them off. In addition, If you want to reinstate the power loss you should clean your filter, which will allow the vacuum to breathe properly. If you have power loss or decreased suction it is possibly due to a clogged filter.

The Bagless 2-Stage cloth filtration system allows the vacuum to be cleaned easily. With a simple twist of the nozzle, the Makita vacuum will come right apart allowing you to dump any debris. Easy Cleanoutĭebris disposal is quick and very easy. I typically leave this nozzle on and I love that it can get to the hard-to-reach places. After using the tool we quickly recognized that with the included 6” crevice nozzle suction power was increased. The Makita vacuum is a great tool to clean the house. You can add the 6” nozzle, or you can add the long extension and use the vacuum standing up Handheld Convenience You can use the tool as pictured which is very compact. The ability to remove or add the vacuum extension tube is a nice option. The LXT vacuum measures out at a compact 18 – 3/4″ long. Above all, the Makita 18V XLC02ZB had no problem sucking up the metal shavings. Next, I took it to the garage where I had some fresh metal shavings laying on the ground from drilling an automotive axle tube. I wasn’t confident that the little vacuum had the power to suck up heavy dirt, but the Makita cordless vacuum had no problem cleaning up this mess. Evidently, this was the perfect time for me to test out the Makita 18V cordless vacuum! The chunks of mud were dry but fairly thick.

The Makita 18V cordless vacuum is a wonderful addition to any tool collection.
