For those thinking about Makita stick vacs in 2023, it looks like the 18v/LXT line is going to be mostly catching up soon. For example DCL284 seems to have 18kPa max sealed suction. Almost as good as the 40V’s 21kPa. Handy for those of us not yet invested in XGT!
Made me think the trouble with Dyson battery will be the charging of it. Just watched video on RUclips of someone replacing dyson battery with Milwaukee battery and seemed really simple. Maybe you could try makita battery on dyson and have best of both worlds.
Me to. I'd be Makita's cyclone style ordinary shape and size vacuum cleaner that can run on two 40V batteries. An ordinary sized vacuum cleaner is quieter and woks better. I need to change the plungs three time to vacuum the house, so I'm planning to buy something form Makita 40V. Just because I will need batteries for tools anyways.
For most traditional cordless tools, even 10.8/12V is good by now. The plunge saw and 15cm holesaw capable drill, being the only "real" tools I crave in 40V. Not so garden tools, vacs, tire inflators and fridges. And no doubt a faster coffee maker, in not to long.... So, in 2021: 12V for "pro" stuff, 40V for homeowner stuff......
Yeah their vacuums are what will probably get me into any Makita platform at all... But the updated eighteen volt versions for example DCL284ZWX1 are very nearly as powerful on paper as the forty so there is the eighteen volt option... Which is nice
You found the best clip of Rob 😂 The real question about the 4 modes.... who ever says "gee I'd like to spend more time cleaning today" and sets it on low?
The new brushless 18v has 18 hectopascle of suction, nearly on the 40v level. I have one as well as the old brushed 4 hectopascle unit and the brushless 18v is on a different level
I am disappointed, with my 18V Stick Vac's lack of suction. The cyclone is a nice addition, and keeps the filter cleaner. That said, the 18V is handy - for small cleanups.
I've got 2 of the 18v ones, use them all the time, just keeps the job site tidy, they are not as good a proper vac, but the convenience means they are more useful. Can't deny the 40v socks, but I'm on the 18v platform. I may have to look at the brushless version though.
I'm planning to buy this one to vacuum the house. It's decent prices and I plan to buy into 40V anyways. The "cyclone" container is awesome. Less strain on the filter. Easier to clean quickly. Good job Makita.
I love the little cyclone on my 18V brushed one. I do not have to clean the filter as much when using the cyclone. The other plus is how it makes the dog hair into like a cone, looks funny. Honestly this might make me go 40V even though I have many 18V tools and batteries. The variable suction would be good for when I go over a rug so it won't suck the rug in or get stuck and drag it around.
Makita is really making it hard to believe they will continue to improve/develop the 18v range of tools, When clearly the 40v range is just easier to get performance out of.
You don't need 36 volts in a TON of applications as far as power tools. Also, of course, they will do a lot of development in the 40Vmax tools, as they have a TON OF TOOLs they need to catch up with the other line with
Can you please do a comparison with the new xgt vacuum sick and the model below with the 40v xgt MAKITA. Have a happy new year and all the best in 2023
ah so also thanks for featuring the dyson. however yours there is the bigger one. not really such a good comparison. for something else more similar we have here the 'v6 animal'. which is more appropriate size of device. however the battery on it is pretty small, and perhaps even smaller than the very smallest xgt battery. also if you were to pay as much money as that for a dyson v6... since they are more expensive well maybe theres also other kinds of larger shop vac options to choose from on 18v battery platforms. from others, like millsquakie m18 fuel etc. which can also do wet / water. and seem to work pretty well. you know those little square box module things for jobsite cleanup. of course that then isn't going to be a hand held / household style. different form factor. so then going back to that the dyson v6 would be more similar to check the performance against
Wow, that 40v is just amazing. I wonder what line up Makita is dropping next like router, chainsaw, 18g brad, lawnmower, backpack vac ext. It's a petty 40v batteries are not backward compatible. Thanks Makita Master. 🙏🏾🖖🏾😆🤙🏾🐢💚:s
Suction strength test: have an empty jug suspended by the vacuums with the trigger zip tied on. Add water to the jugs until the vacuums can no longer hold the weight.
Love my 18V brushless one for all the quick jobs I can’t be bothered for to bring out the corded vac. By the way: if you have a d-cell maglite wall mount lying around: they fit quite nicely around the nozzle of the main body of these Makita stick vacs. Mount the clamp on some kind of spacer to put it at the right distance off the wall to compensate for whatever size battery you use on it and it holds the vac nicely. Thanks for all the reviews, keep it up! Can’t wait for Makita to expand the 40V / 80V OPE line.
Thanks for the review, great stuff. I however would like to ask, what is the problem with Makita 6AH 18V batteries. You mentioned, that you can only use 50% of the battery capacity and they will not work in tools, when below 2 bars, basically behaving the same as 3AH batteries.
On some tools, (single handed chainsaw, rebar cutter, most 18vx2 tools and more) they cut out and stop being able to power the tools when they are only half depleted.
I was just looking at theses vacs. Looks way better than 18V. I was wondering way New Zealand gets new makita tools way before Australia does. Even Orange battery chain saws. !!!! I’m waiting waiting for the 36 volt telescopic Chain saw looks a beast. Away you all ways do cool vids And lots of battery vids I was very surprised in the battery temps when you tested them.
Really wish they would make a proper stick vacuum with a motor head. The market is full of overpriced crap. Makita could make a superior product for less than 1/2 the cost of a dyson.
I don’t like the membrane button. It is something that breaks very easily with usage. Makita makes a lot of switches, I don’t like that they cutted cost in that way.
As Rudy said, work your tools until they brake down. Buy 40V for new tools. That's wise in terms of money. Unless you really struggle with space - like remote work when you carry all of the tools in tbe van or something along these lines.
Another thing : in Japan, the difference in price is around 10% btwn 18V and 40V. That is for the higher end, made in Japan models. So I assume the rest of the world will be similarly priced in tbe future.
If someone can comment , which of the 40v sticks in the USA (there are 3 models) is best I will greatly appreciated it. GLC01Z - hepa filter no cyclone standard 42 cfm and 84" lift. GLC02Z - no hepa no cyclone. GLC03Z - hepa and cyclone, but lower 35 cfm and 80" lift. Usually the higher number (03 in this case) is the better model, but both the CFM and Static Water Lift are lower, not sure this is due to the cyclone or just less powerful. Thanks in advance.
Got the 18v DCL282. Comes with reusable cloth bag. Got cyclone as well. Piece of piss to empty, very convenient for around the house and vacuum when needed. Good for hardwood floors, carpet it's alright, but wouldn't expect it to do a house or get animal hair out. Maybe if there was a different head designed for carpets. Also a hose would be good for cleaning the car, cam buy separately I guess but will probably use some old hose and strap it on when needed. Worth it 100% for the convenience.
What i´ve found is that the cyclone tends to clog when faced with larger debris. My 18V stick vac is a bit too weak for that thing. However, paired with the festool CTL vac, its not bad.
The thing i hate about dyson is the unrelenting fear that it won't work when i go to use it. Excellent suction, unforgivable reliability. Will my $800 vacuum work tomorrow? Who knows? 🎲 🤷♂️
@@smellyfragrance7119 Hi, it doesn’t have a hepa filter and clogged up after sucking the dust out of 1 hole after drilling a 6mm hole in a wall. I used it maybe 4 times and the engine has already some dust in it. It sucks fairly good when clean but the suction declines after maybe 5 minutes of cleaning. Also the compartiment is so very tiny. So I bought the normal front nose and a hepa filter to hopefully end up with a cl001 ish vacuum.
That low power squeal is abominable! Otherwise the 40v is magic. PS: I imagined Horse the cat crashing through the window and mauling the 40 when the whine started. Sorry. ❤️ from Aus
Что интересно, когда смотрю с русскими субтитрами: когда работает LXT пылесос пишет [аплодисменты] 👏, а когда XGT - [музыка] 🎶. Это что-то должно значить ☝️, ИИ не ошибается 😆
Save yourself the headaches and get yourself a Milwaukee compact vac. More power, more capacity, more attachments, powered head, piece of cake to empty without spilling everything, filters are much easier to clean and change
Because it is a small, hand held device that suppose to take up very little space. The offer bigger vacuums for bigger jobs. A bigger vacuum would not fit into a bag. This one will, with a drill and some other tools. I see them everywhere in Japan in the offices, gyms, public transport etc. Companies buy them because of small size and decent battery life.
Cyclone has a different purpose than "making the tank bigger", it separates all "large particles" into the cyclone and leaves the filter in the main unit to only deal with fine particles. This makes the filter last longer and require less cleaning.

Damn it, I just bought a 281.
three years ago my wife borrowed my 18v vac...... now i got it back because she has now borrowed my 40v vac ( happy wife happy life ) she LOVES IT !

Got the xgt vacuum today. It is indeed quiet, light and awesome!
I love my 18v vacuum, cyclone saves constant filter bag cleaning fine dust...wow 40v max...game changer...maybe my first 40v
I use my LXT one all the time with the cyclone. I wish they would just build a vac with the cyclone built in.
Me to.

Same for me :)

The additional great thing about the cyclone is it makes the tool longer for taller people. Less bending over. 👍👍
The extra suction from the 40v is impressive. I’m praying for a 40v equivalent of the DVC750LZ.
Planning on buying one to use mainly to clean up all the wood chips around my drum set from the drum sticks, I already have two xgt tools so why not.
Wow. Glad I found this video before I bought the 18V. Thanks guys!
I'm planning to buy this one to vacuum the house.
It's decent prices and I plan to buy into 40V anyways.
The "cyclone" container is awesome. Less strain on the filter. Easier to clean quickly. Good job Makita.
Did you get it? What do you like/dislike about it?
Give us a feedback! Are you still happy with it?
cool man... hope they also do 40v xgt lawn mower too. instead of the existing 36v one. that would be nice
Thank you for the very informative video, please keep up the good work for Makita, you're really keeping the community alive!
Glad to see you get the recognition you deserve mate! I've been a follower for a while and your content has always been top!

Okay but when will we get a Makita robot vacuum review! 😫 Lol😂
Only channel that can get me to watch vacuum reviews at 5 AM. Hello from California!
The robot vac is rather expensive... but maybe I will do a 40v one...
Sux that the 40V does not have a trigger, would be so much easier to use and may negate the need for the mode switch?
The old kiwi suck up the box off the garage floor test, in socks and jandles bro👍Another great review
An oldie but a goodie.
Would be good to compare between lg cord zero, Dyson and Samsung
Hopefully they will release a 40v dust extractor next, to go with my 40v mitre saw
It's on the way...
For some reason I didn't think the cyclone fitted the XGT .. awesome. I can see a few of these around the property!
I love the little cyclone on my 18V brushed one. I do not have to clean the filter as much when using the cyclone. The other plus is how it makes the dog hair into like a cone, looks funny.

They’ve just released 80v max batteries too
No. 80v Max is 2x 40v
2 questions :
-Real world runtime?
-Is the led light always on when using, is it switchable?
With Milwaukee’s new M12 power head on it, maybe it could be the best of both worlds.
Is the XGT head wider than the LXT?
if come with dyson like vacuum head will be great
Thanks for the review! I bought one and it’s great with the cyclone.
i have the 18V DCL281, might upgrade to this one, just need a kit..Awesome video @Tools&Stuff
You have a special socks for flip-flops or just regular?
Where the 40v multitool and jigsaw. Need to replace my 18v ones and don’t want to get another 18v if the 40v coming soon.

Glad you think so!
Suction strength test: have an empty jug suspended by the vacuums with the trigger zip tied on. Add water to the jugs until the vacuums can no longer hold the weight.
Is cyclone better than regular vacuum? What are the differences? Which one is more powerful?

Are there any for sale yet in new zealand?
Only rotary ha.mers and demo hammers I think.
Really wish they would make a proper stick vacuum with a motor head. The market is full of overpriced crap. Makita could make a superior product for less than 1/2 the cost of a dyson.
"bugger all suction" Gotta love the kiwi isms
Any idea if Makita is soon releasing a Hybrid 40V vacuum? I like the possibility of having both 230V as batteries.
I think they will.
Would not consider without a powerhead, makes a huge difference. This vacuum seems a little backwards, they could do better.
considering how many of their xgt tools have aws I'm surprised they didn't make a xgt aws vac first.
They did. Just different model. This is hand held vacuum cleaner. Different usage.
