The verdictOur take

The VC001GL is Makita's 40V XGT brushless L class wet & dry vacuum, with 53.3 l/s of airflow, 23 kPa of suction, an 8L container and 6L of liquid capacity at 7.7kg bare. L class covers general and wood dust; a 1.7m antistatic 32mm hose and a cloth filter you shake clean by hand suit cordless clean-up, and it is sold body only. We rate it a strong compact option; the VC003GL is the 15L version with 12L of liquid, and the VC002GL extractor is Makita AWS ready via a WUT01 unit, with a 3.5m hose.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It runs on one battery or two, so each row shows one, then two. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
