The verdictOur take

The VC009G is Makita's 40V XGT brushless backpack dust extractor, with a 2L container, 31.7 l/s of airflow and 18 kPa of suction at 3.4kg bare. Sold body only, it is ready for Makita AWS wireless start and has 3 modes with memory, a 1.5m hose with tool cuffs and a HEPA filter, suiting short drilling and fixing jobs on steps or scaffold where a light pack matters. We rate it a compact wearable extractor for XGT users; the VC012G takes a 6L bag and moves 35 l/s, at 5.7kg bare.
