- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- Many listings are bare tool only, so check the box contents. If you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and a charger, the bare-tool version is the one to get.
- Can it handle carpets?
- It is best on hard floors and light debris. On carpet it picks up surface dust but lacks the suction and brush power of a dedicated upright or a premium cordless stick.
- How long does it run on one charge?
- Runtime depends on the battery. A compact 18V pack gives a short burst of cleaning; a larger pack runs longer but adds weight.
- Is it good for stairs and cars?
- Yes. It converts to a handheld, which makes stairs, car seats and shelves easier than a full stick vacuum.
- Does it use the same batteries as Makita drills?
- Yes, it runs on Makita 18V LXT batteries, so packs from your drills, saws and other tools fit.
- How does it compare with a dedicated stick vacuum?
- It wins on battery sharing and price of entry if you own Makita tools. Dedicated sticks from brands like Dyson or Shark generally offer stronger suction and better filtration.
