The Makita 18V X2 LXT Lithium - Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 1.6 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Vacuum (XCV17Z) is a super - handy cleaning solution. It gets rid of the hassle of extension cords that regular corded backpack vacuums have. This vacuum is a top pick for cleaning crews and construction sites when used as part of a dust extraction setup. Powered by two 18V Lithium - Ion batteries (sold separately), it delivers 36V power while staying within the 18V LXT battery platform. The efficient BL Brushless Motor generates strong suction of 78 CFM and 44” of static water lift, making clean - ups fast and dust extraction better. You don't have to worry about a cord getting in your way. Weighing just 15 lbs (with an empty dust bag and two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, batteries sold separately), it has padded shoulder straps and a waist belt with multiple adjustments for a really comfortable fit. It's cordless and compact, and the push - button power selection controller attaches to the waist belt for easy operation. The HEPA filter and filter bag together capture large, small, and micro dust particles. The half - gallon dust collection container can be easily removed for dust disposal. With two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, you can get up to 140 minutes of continuous operation on low setting and 40 minutes on high setting. It's part of Makita's 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system with 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries charge fast, so they spend more time working. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls communicate between the tool and battery in real - time to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can also use Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol. Included in the package are a main HEPA filter, a crevice nozzle, a sleeve, an 11' universal floor nozzle, an aluminum telescoping extension wand, a curved pipe handle with lock, 10 filter bags, and a harness.
