Makita VC008GZ01 40V MAX XGT Brushless Cordless 2L Backpack Vacuum – Tool Only

Makita’s VC008GZ01 is a 40Vmax XGT cordless backpack vacuum built for mobile dust collection in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, and jobsite cleanup. A high-efficiency brushless motor produces up to 84.8 CFM and 72.3″ of water lift, giving strong pickup on hard floors and low-pile carpet. The two-stage HEPA filtration system captures 99.97% of particulates 0.3 microns and larger, and a built-in filter cleaning mechanism helps maintain suction by shedding dust from the filter media. Four selectable suction modes let users match power and sound to the task—from quick touch-ups to deeper cleaning—while the low 72 dB(A) operating level supports daytime use in occupied spaces. The compact canister carries comfortably thanks to padded shoulder straps, a waist belt, and a balanced harness design. With a BL4050F 5.0Ah battery (sold separately), runtime ranges up to 110 minutes in Mode 1, so teams can cover large areas without cords, outlets, or generators. Durable hose and aluminum telescoping wand components withstand daily field use, and the controller’s LED light adds visibility in low-light areas.
