Customer Reviews for Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Compact Brushless Cordless Vacuum Kit, 2.0 Ah

First of all, I love makita and have the whole LXT collection. I was really looking forward to the vacuum to keep in my truck mainly but it shows it with a 2ah battery, I used a 3 and not much suction. Don’t have a 5 battery yet but I’m hoping to get it soon and it will make a different. Not sure why the other reviews are about the blower🤔. This review is for the makita 18v LXT LITHIUM-ION VACUUM tool only. Gotta say I’m a bit disappointed😔

This is a small scale cordless blower for light-duty applications. I was interested in this product because having something which is very portable has advantages outdoors as well as select indoor applications. This has a powerful blower, and it works great for easily and conveniently blowing out leaves and detritus from the garage without the annoyance of a cord. I have tried this for the patio, using it to blow leaves and light snow, and also indoors in utility areas which are not easily accessible by a utility vac ,such as blowing away cobwebs in a crawl space or lint buildup behind the dryer. Outside, for larger areas, its use is somewhat limited by its small size, short nozzle, and also its 25 minute battery life (intermittent use - only 12 minutes continuous use). It has three speeds, but I only found the highest speed useful. Its battery is interchangeable with the rest of the Makita 18-volt line of tools, which is great if you already have some of the other items in this line.

This Makita, battery powered, blower moves a maximum of 113 CFM of air at a maximum of 219 MPH at the highest speed setting making it handy for workshop cleanups, all without the hassle of dragging an extension cord around. When fully assembled, the tool is roughly 20 inches long and weighs less than 5-pounds. A three position, speed-adjusting dial determines the maximum overall speed; squeezing Switch Trigger increases/decreases the blowers speed within that previously selected speed setting. The tapered rubber nozzle can also be attached to the suction side of the blower to allow it to be used a light duty vacuum; the optional dust bag is recommended when used in this manner. Additionally, an optional flexible hose set and/or garden nozzle is available to extend its usefulness.

This handy little 21-inch-overall blower is one of the best gadgets that Makita makes. It has come in handy to blow away the mess on our deck left by the squirrels eating the bird feeder sunflower seeds. The other great use has been to blow off leaves off our family cemetery markers and headstones. It seems to run for at least 15 minutes at full speed. By putting the nozzle on the side air intake it becomes a vacuum cleaner. I am not sure I would use it as that, but it is a suggested use.

If I had to describe this MAKITA 18-VOLT LXT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER in three words, I would say "small but mighty." I got this for quick clean-ups on my job sites and love that it's a Makita brand item (quality) and it's small enough to throw on the shelf in my trailer, ready to grab in a second. Don't let the size fool you (only 20-3/8" long and 4.1 lbs) because it has a 3-speed motor and a maximum air velocity of 219 MPH.

Fall and the leaf blowing season may have come and gone but winter and the snow is here and upon us. I had an idea that a smaller cordless blower might be very handy for some snow blowing and I was right. This blower works exceptionally well and has very good wind velocity and really makes light short work of powdery snow. It not quite as effective on wet snow but can get the job done but obviously takes longer to do the job. With snow nearly every day lately it has already gotten quite a workout. We even carry it in our car when we go out shopping. I have always enjoyed very good luck with all Mikita products and this little blower did not disappoint and is another winner. The only thing that I can criticize is that I wish I had batteries that went longer on a charge but carrying several does get the job done. Highly recommend.

One of the best 18 volt batteries on the market for one of the best 18-volt sub compact drills on the market ,hands down !

It is a excellent choice—light weight and easy to use

I love it! Easy to assemble and power flow is strong.

We really like it. It's light and easy to use.

Nice lighter and less bulky battery for my Makita drills are a game changer!

Lot less power than I expected

The original battery works great in multiple tools. A good addition to my summer tool kit.

The battery pack is small and lightweight and makes the drill easier to work

Powerful, light. Great product

This was an online order to be picked up at my local Home Depot. It was ready when I arrived and an associate helped me with it since it was my 1st time with this type of transaction. The entire experience was excellent!!

Great product, use at home and RVing

The machine is light and powerful.

The model I received DOES NOT have a fuel indicator on it. It works fine but because I needed a new a battery ASAP I kept it.
