Makita VC011GZ 40Vmax XGT Brushless Cordless 6L Backpack Vacuum – Tool Only

Built for mobile cleaning in facilities, schools, healthcare, retail, and jobsites, the Makita VC011GZ pairs a high-efficiency brushless motor with 40Vmax XGT power for long, cordless routes. It delivers up to 85 CFM and 80.4″ of water lift for reliable pickup on hard floors and low-pile carpet. A HEPA system captures 99.97% of 0.3-micron particulates to support indoor air quality, and the spring-loaded rocker inside the dust bag helps knock debris from the filter to reduce clogging. Operators can choose from four suction modes to balance noise, runtime, and pickup strength. With two 5.0Ah XGT batteries used in sequence (sold separately), runtime reaches up to 260 minutes on Mode 1—ideal for large buildings with limited outlets. A 6 L bag capacity limits changeouts, while padded shoulder straps and a waist belt distribute weight for comfort over long shifts. The controller includes an LED job light for corners and low-light areas, and the pack runs at a quiet 70 dB(A) for daytime cleaning in occupied spaces.
