Makita (UK) Ltd.

Makita will be showcasing its range of cordless cleaning solutions at the Manchester Cleaning Show. Its expert team will be on hand on stand F5 to demonstrate how its range of battery powered products provide a genuine cordless alternative for commercial carpet and hard-floor vacuuming.

A key highlight on the stand is the VC008GZ02 40V(Max) XGT Brushless Backpack Vacuum Cleaner. This compact, ergonomic and lightweight product (only 3.4kg without batteries) has a built-in HEPA Filter that is used to capture very fine particles effectively. It delivers a suction power of up to 195W when used on the highest setting, and a run time of up to 110 minutes on the lowest setting when using 5.0Ah batteries. The large 1.5 litre dust bag / 2.0 litre filter bag capacity further allows longer operation without the need to stop and empty the bag.

The machine features a telescopic pipe with a locking mechanism for a secure connection to the flexible pipe section, as well as a T-nozzle with a hard flooring and carpet mode selector. The VC008G also has a mechanism to prevent the dust bag compartment closing when the bag is not installed correctly.

Thanks to the design of the machine, this vacuum cleaner produces consistently low noise levels (sound pressure of 72 dB(A)), to minimise disturbance when working in populated
