The Makita 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Vacuum Kit, model XLC02R1W, is a compact and powerful cordless vacuum with strong suction for fast and efficient cleaning. At only 18-3/4″ in length this compact vacuum can be used as a “hand-van”, or with the floor nozzle extension for floors, carpets and hard-to-reach spaces.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
