Cordless vacuum cleaner 18 V LXT BLDC canister DCL284FZ

Mobile Cleaning Power in the 18 V LXT System

This device is a compact cordless vacuum cleaner that eliminates the need to search for power outlets or untangle cables. Thanks to the brushless motor (BLDC) and the 18 V LXT power system, this model delivers performance comparable to corded devices while maintaining full mobility. It is a "body" solution – supplied without battery and charger – making it an ideal complement for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who already own a Makita tool fleet. The device weighs only 0.9 kg (body only), and with the battery, it does not exceed 1.6 kg, allowing comfortable cleaning even in hard-to-reach areas without straining the wrist.

Performance Tailored to the Task

A key design feature is the ability to precisely control suction power using a 4-speed touch switch. Users do not have to choose between maximum power and runtime – they can adjust parameters to the specific type of dirt:

• Speed 1 and 2: Designed for gentle dust removal from furniture or carpets, ensuring long runtime (up to 38 minutes on low speed with the BL1830B battery).
• Speed 3 and 4: Dedicated to tougher dirt, offering maximum suction power of 125 W and vacuum pressure of 18 kPa (180 mbar).

This flexibility makes the device suitable for both everyday household use and workshop applications, such as cleaning wood shavings or sanding dust. Maximum airflow of 1.2 m³/min ensures effective collection of solid particles. The filtration system, based on a fabric filter and a pre-filter, effectively traps dust, protecting the motor from overheating. The spacious dust container with a capacity of 730 ml allows collection of larger amounts of debris before emptying is required, and its bagless design facilitates quick cleaning after work is completed.

Ergonomics and Complete Accessory Kit

The device is designed for quick and intuitive assembly and disassembly of components. The body features a special locking latch to prevent accidental extension of the tube during operation, enhancing user safety. The ergonomic handle, covered with soft material, ensures a secure grip even during prolonged use. The noise level generated by the BLDC motor is relatively low – approximately 65 dB(A) – allowing operation even in the evening hours without disturbing household quiet.

The kit includes all necessary elements for immediate start of work:

• Floor nozzle for cleaning large surfaces.
• Narrow nozzle (crevice tool) ideal for furniture edges and hard-to-reach corners.
• Telescopic tube extending the working range.
• Nozzle holder facilitating attachment of working tips.
• Main filter and pre-filter.

The device also features a built-in battery protection circuit that protects cells from overload, over-discharge, and overheating, thereby extending the lifespan of the entire power system. With dimensions of 503 x 113 x 153 mm, the vacuum cleaner occupies minimal space during storage and easily fits in a car trunk or on a workshop shelf. This is a practical tool for anyone who values time and independence from power cords – whether cleaning wood shavings after woodworking in the garage or crumbs after a meal in the car – this model offers the right power and ease of use in one compact device.
