MakitaDCL180Z 18V li-Ion Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Body Only by Makita

I love it for quick clean ups and spot cleaning. This works great on hardwood or flat surfaces. It works ok on my low pile rugs. Does not work very well on deep pile or heavy plush carpet. This just vacuums, no agitation to lift stuck or rug debris. Small and light enough for quick car vacuuming too! I see no difference between the makita blue vs the white one other than the price. Its not a show piece, so save $40.00 and blue it is! I do wish it came with a brush attachment. Overall, very convenient and works well on flat surfaces.

今まで使っていたマキタ掃除機の買い替えです。これまでは白かったので汚れが目立ちましたがこちらは海外向けでマキタブルーなので汚れが気にならず良い感じです。ただ国内仕様で標準のストラップとLEDライトが装備されていません。国内向けにもこの色を発売して欲しいです。商品はマキタ純正品なのでまったく問題ありません。なぜか本体の注意書きシールが日本語でした。2018年春に国内向けにもマキタブルーが追加されましたね！国内仕様はやはり最初からストラップとLEDライトが装備されています。残念･･･こちらも国内仕様と同じく海外向けにもストラップは無改造で付けれますがLEDライトは部品取寄せと穴あけなどもしくは国内仕様ボディーを御取寄せなどかなり改造しなければ無理でした･･･今の海外向けはスケルトンブルー/ブラックが追加されたようですね。これも国内向けに発売されるかなぁ･･･

緑色のマキタカラーの本体が珍しくて購入しました。　ゴミ捨てが楽になるアタッチメントをつけて使ってます。　ちょっとした掃除が、さっと出来て購入して良かったです。

I am sure all of you know by know that if you do not already own an 18 volt Makita battery and charger, before you buy this vacuum, you are going to buy the most expensive portable vacuum in the world. And the suction is as low as any cheep vacuum on the market. The benefit of this vacuum is that it can be used daily in the house, to pick up light crumbs, and when it's time to clean out the car, just pull it apart and start cleaning. Don't expect it to get the heavy mud. I found a way to work around this "battery-charger" problem. Amazon has the Makita cordless drill (including one battery and charger) on sell at a price cheeper then the battery and charger by itself. So, I ordered the screw gun at it's discounted price and then ordered this vacuum. Comparing prices, I actually got a free screw-gun and a free battery, compared to the cost of ordering a charger and battery separately. This is a very handy vacuum for a quick clean-up, my wife loves it.

Have had this for about 6 months now and it's typical excellent Makita quality. It does not see much use in the shop but spends most of it's time in other parts of the house sucking up bugs, dust, cat hair and other "dust-buster" duties. Works great in the car/truck too. Obviously not a replacement for a plug-in vacuum but it certainly has the most suction of any cordless vac I have owned. The reusable filter is a piece of cake to clean, it comes (falls) off a little too easily when the dust canister is removed but really a non-issue after the first time it happens and you figure this out.
