Sooo very helpful!!

To be able to do a quick vacuum with terrific suction and without having to mess with cords and a heavy machine, is incredible REFRESHING! Especially when you have 3 small children who keep you on the run with CRUMBS and tracking stuff in from outside!!! Some people have complained about the switch you have to keep your finger on to keep it on, I find it convenient. It's where my finger would be anyhow and it's a very light push to keep it going. It allows me to turn it on and off very quickly. When I come to something I do not want vacuumed, I can skip over it more easily. The battery charges very fast and it runs for a good 15 to 20 minutes. This is great when compared to my old one that took hours to charge and never seems to be ready when Iwas ready nor did it have the suction that this one has. I gave up on that vacuum and just went to a broom. The day this vacuum came, I had just finished sweeping. I decided to run it over the floors anyhow and it was kinda sad that there was a lot of dirt when I emptied it. It's a bit expensive, but you do get what you pay for...most of the time...

Serious limitation - no continuous recharge

I just received this vacuum and was disappointed to find that there is no way to charge it continuously.

To use this vacuum for more than ten minutes, you must run it until it is out of juice ("up to 10 minutes of continuous use"), remove the battery from the vacuum, place the battery in its charger, wait 15 minutes for the battery to fully charge, remove the battery from the charger, insert the battery back into the vacuum, and continue vacuuming.

I much prefer wall mounted vacuums that charge continuously - just grab and go. Not only does the Makita vacuum not charge continuously, but it doesn't even come with a wall mount.

If you use a hand vac infrequently as I do, you may find that the vacuum's battery is no longer charged once you pick up the vacuum to use it. If you use a hand vac lots, you may find that this product's limitation of 10 minutes of continuous use and a 15 minute recharge is far too limiting.

I expected much more from such a pricey vacuum.

Great Product

I bought this one because sometimes I just need a really quick vacuum in small areas. I have an Dyson vacuum but its electric cord wrapped around the hose makes it time consuming to use.
My wife is really happy with the vacuum because she can use it in the kitchen every time needed. One early morning, I heard the vacuum was running. Turned out, it's my 5-year daughter cleaning up her room. I strongly recommend this product.
The filter inside could get dirty but I use a Dyson to clean the filter and put it back in.

Vac

A little pricey but excellent performer, external battery is long lasting and powerful, great feature to be able to easily replace the battery if needed.
