The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Vacuum (XLC01ZB, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) is a compact and powerful solution for fast and efficient cleaning. It has a powerful motor that generates 35 CFM of suction power and 16" of water lift. At 19” in length this compact vacuum with floor nozzle extension can be used on floors and carpets, or without the nozzle extension as a “hand-vac”. For added convenience, it accepts disposable paper or cloth dust bags. When using an 18V LXT® 5.0Ah battery (sold separately), users will get up to 60 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. It is compatible with Makita 18V LXT® and 18V LXT® Compact Lithium-Ion batteries. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
