The Makita 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 1.6 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Vacuum Kit (XCV17PG) is a powerful and portable clean-up solution that eliminates extension cords that trail corded backpack vacuums. The XCV17PG is ideal for cleaning crews, as well as for construction applications when used as part of a dust extraction system. The XCV17PG is powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance but without leaving the 18V LXT battery platform. The efficient BL Brushless Motor generates 78 CFM of suction and 44 in. of static water lift for fast clean-ups and improved dust extraction, with no cord to pull along or get in the way. The XCV17PG weighs 15 lbs. (with empty dust bag and two 18V 5.0Ah batteries) and has padded shoulder straps and waist belt with multiple adjustments for a comfortable fit. Cordless and compact, the push button power selection controller attaches to the waist belt of the harness for convenient operation. The efficient HEPA filter combined with the filter bag captures large, small and micro dust particulates and the half-gallon dust collection container is easily removed for dust disposal. When using two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, users will get up to 139-minutes of continuous operation on low setting and 40-minutes on the high setting. It's part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.
