Thanks for the review. I ordered one from Amazon and it's coming in today.
You'll like it. I find I'm using it more and more as I get into the habit of grabbing it for jobs.
Nice review. Thank you from the UK
its a hepa filter It means "High-efficiency particulate air" Its really good look it up
cool review...I wish Festool would make something like this.....
Thanks for the review. It was very helpful watching it try to pick up different stuff. I guess I am off to order one!
Thanks for the feedback! I use it all the time now that I have it.
How long will it run for?
Whats the run time like?
Use that detail nozzle with the blower it's not cheating for that.
After few months, IS it a good deal ?🇫🇷
Thanks Man!
To be fair if I tip a bucket of bolts, screws or nails upside down my first thought is never “ I’ll get the vac for that”.
That’s a great vacuum, nice review!
Can you get a foam cover for the hepa filter so it doesn't need to be cleaned so often? I have it and its pretty good but not too good for plaster dust, I see other vacs have a foam ring around the hepa filter thanks
I haven't seen one listed for it but maybe a generic one could be made to work.
Nice review and i bought one...only thing ( high pitch sound) i find it very annoying 👍
I modified mine to accept 1.5 gal shop vac disposable bags, never need to clean the filter and bags are cheap.
How did you do that? I'd like to do the same for gas fireplace service
@@sasquatch5712 hi there, I used parts from a small shop(where bag connects) vac and trimmed them to contour the makita inlet. I epoxied the pieces on once I had them fit. It’s held for over a year and about 6 bags so far..
@@ryane6719 wicked, thanks for the reply 👍
Hi would the nozzle fit a makita cordless rip saw as it looks a bit large thanks
Plenty of adaptors up or down that you can buy.
Im looking on-line, but can't find the Model DVC750L anywhere, there is a model XCV11Z that looks identical, wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference?
Fred, looks like it’s the same machine, just with a different product code (Makita often uses different product codes for the same tools marketed in different countries).
wow useful tips ~~awesome and nice~~
Do I keep the hepa filter on for wet pick ups? Or should I i use the foam filter or sock pre filter? I’m really confused
They have an optional part for wet use
nice video man, Im looking at picking one of these up
How did it go? Did you buy one??
@@mazklassa9338 yeah mate i did, use it every job. I reckon im going to get one of those new makita fridges
@@mrdodge4529 I was gonna say "cool" until I realised the irony of that lol
Can this work with a Makita ls1219 miter saw??
I’ll add this question to my upcoming long-term review video. Thanks for the suggestion.
Lot of people use this vacuum cleaner to attach it to a machine for dus collection, only Makita says it's not meant for that, could have warranty issues?
Perhaps. I think it’s more of an issue to do with the vacuum not having Makita’s AWS connection ability or any other type of remote on/off switching. Also it doesn’t have pulse filter cleaning which is quite useful for fine stuff like concrete dust.
could you let me know how you got on with this, im looking for a vac that i can just have on my shoulder when im sanding or cutting and have it on the machine. but also for clean up, does it still do a good job?
The vac is good still. For the price it’s really well built. Also, I’d maybe look at one of Makita’s backpack vacs if you are going to be carrying it often.
Is the filter washable/reusable?
Yes it is washable and it cleans easier than any other vac filter I've had. Not sure what it's made of but it works better than I would have thought just by looking at it.
How about fine dust or sand? Does it work? How about if i attach it with the makita sander? Thanks
It works great for sand and really fine sawdust. I can hook it up to one of my palm sanders and see how it works in the next day or two if you want.
@@AWoodworkersLife yes that would be great. I use makita sander mostly to sand the wood and small work of drywall finish sanding. There is non video about that stuff how it vacuum. Does the filter get messy? Thanks
@@nerminb7774 Yea it does need cleaning quite often. Ive just ordered a prefilter bag and foam damper to minimise that. I also swap between 2 filters to save on downtime. Great little vacuum! I use it everyday.
kizz jd Thanks for weighing in!
Wrong, the star means that it has battery protection.
Can you attach a bag to it?
Great question. I don’t think there is a bag being made for it at this time.
Thanks for this review. I wanted to wish for one for my birthday. Now I just wanna go get it right away haha. Could you try using it for cleaning the car? I like to keep the company car nice and neat. And don’t have time for that when I’m at work, and I live on third floor in an apartment building, so connecting a vacuum is not an option.
Tried it on the car. Sorry but a bit short on time at the moment so no video. It worked excellent on everything but the dog hairs that were actually stuck in the fabric. Got the Dyson with the power brush for that and even it struggled. 90lb dog is like a hair tornado during shedding season.
@@AWoodworkersLife Thanks a bunch. I actually ended up picking it up. And tried it on my own car. Works like a charm, and I don't have to struggle with pet hairs. And it super nimble for vaccuuming up inside a kitchen cupboard, when you have to make holes for plumbing and such. For sure one of my No. 1 Makita products.
is it long enough to be able to do the long term review yet?
Thanks Nigel for the suggestion. I’ll put together a follow up video next week.
👍🏻👍🏻
Need help finding wand attachment for easier floor cleanup
It’ll fit any of the standard smaller diameter 1-7/8”shop vacuum wands and hoses. I’m using a rigid one.
@@AWoodworkersLife Thank you. With that fitment, I suppose the Makita hose nozzle would be the male end with the Rigid wand serving as female? Have you been able to find any adapters to fit the hose nozzle to Makita's own 1 3/8" (ID) dust ports which are found on a lot of their saws? Makita tech support said they have no adapters which would enable this specific vacuum as a dust collector...which is odd because it's advertised as a dust collector.
Nom Solo that is correct, the makita hose is the male end of the fitment and the wand is the female. I’m not sure about the adapters though, however I have a whole bunch of different adapters that I use on things like a Festool track saw and a Makita sliding compound mitre saw. I will make a note to cover the adapters in next weeks followup video of the Makita vac.
@@AWoodworkersLife Thanks, I'm interested in seeing that. Sadly, I opted to return this vac after getting confirmation from Makita's own tech support that this 18V model was not designed to be used for dust collection, but it's just hard to believe this went through product development without that in mind. If you cover saw adapters, I'm interested specifically in the 36V line: 10" sliding compound 36V LXT X2, and the 7 1/4" circ saws that are also 36V LXT X2. Those both come with their own dust port and both have an ID of approximately 1 3/8" ID, though the circ saw's ID seemed to be about 1mm smaller than the miter saw's ID. And of course in both cases I was unable to reach fitment with the 18V LXT vacuum.
so would u recommend after 7 months
I've just got one.. Not very strong suction. If it went for half the time but was stronger, would have been a winner
I think it's amazing. It won't replace a corded vac (for example, you can't use a grinder and expect this to capture all the dust) but it works great for cabinet installation and cleaning stairs. I do remodeling, and after the drywall is sanded, my corded vac goes off the job and this little makita handles the rest no problem. It's one of my favorite tools, and i have a lot
Kevin, well said. I've also found it works particularly well with tools that have good dust capture, like a lot of the Festool stuff.
@@tomc5560 Agreed. They should have another level of suction, and should have a least considered an X2 version to really let it rip. I am sure they could have accomplished it
Star allows you to use all batteries. Tools without stars only allow older 3amph batts. With 2 min mod to the tool you can use all batteries. Stupid and I would love to know why Makita did that because after mod all batts work fine
I believe the problem lies in the newer second generation of LXT tools being able to draw higher currents than what the first generation LXT batteries were designed to provide.
Puppers!
THERE'S MAKITA.....THEN THERE'S EVERYTHING ELSE. COMING FROM SOMEONE WHOSE TOOLS WERE ALL RED. NOW SLOWLY BECOMING ALL TEAL/BLUE.
SEYMOUR SCAGNETTI still waiting for makita to make a cordless die grinder like Milwaukee has
@@markman63 SOMETIMES THE TOOL WE WANT IS ACTUALLY MADE, BUT NOT AVAILABLE IN OUR REGION. IT SEEMS WHEN A NEW TOOL IS RELEASED, AUSTRALIA, THE U.K. OR ASIA SEES IT FIRST. GO TO MAKITA'S MAIN SITE AND SELECT A DIFFERENT REGION OTHER THAN NORTH AMERICA AND SEARCH FOR THE DIE GRINDER. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE 40 VOLT XGT TOOLS.
Excellent point. I've noticed that with Festool too. Things like their portable edge bander were out in other countries for years before the North American market received them.
@@markman63 Google Makita Cordless Die Grinder. It exists and you can get it at a number of places in N America
Wish makita make something like the Milwaukee AirSnake .:: man, that thing looks amazing
It's "in my book". Not "books".
Perhaps in your book. I have many.
