The verdictOur take

The VC011G is Makita's 40V XGT brushless backpack vacuum, with 40 l/s of airflow, 20 kPa of suction, 195W of suction power and a 6L container at 5.7kg bare. Automatic filter cleaning, a HEPA filter, four modes with memory, an LED and a 1m antistatic 32mm hose suit long clean-ups through offices, stairs and fit-outs; it is sold body only. We rate it a strong backpack for XGT users; the VC012G extractor is Makita AWS ready via a wireless unit and has a 1.5m hose, and the LXT DVC660 has the same 6L container at 11 kPa.

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.
