MAKITA ANNOUNCES 18V LXT CORDLESS 2 GALLON HEPA FILTER PORTABLE WET/DRY DUST EXTRACTOR/VACUUM

The 18V LXT® Brushless 2 Gallon HEPA Filter Portable Wet/Dry Dust Extractor/Vacuum Kit (XCV11T) delivers up to 57 CFM, 27" water lift of suction, and 60 minutes of continuous run-time.

January 22, 2019, La Mirada, CA – Makita^® U.S.A., Inc., the innovation leader in cordless power tools, introduces a powerful and portable solution in dust management applications, the 18V LXT^® Brushless 2 Gallon HEPA Filter Portable Wet/Dry Dust Extractor/Vacuum Kit (XCV11T). The XCV11 is not only a vacuum, but quickly converts into a blower for increased versatility. The following four features set the XCV11 apart:

• POWER - A powerful BL^™ Brushless motor that delivers up to 57 CFM and 27” water lift of suction with just one 5.0Ah battery.
• RUN TIME PERFORMANCE - Users get up to 60 minutes of continuous run-time. The two speed push button power selection suits a variety of applications.
• EFFICIENCY / DUST MANAGEMENT- The dust extractor/vacuum captures 99.97% of particulates .3 microns and larger with the efficient HEPA filter. The XCV11 has a two-stage HEPA filtration System. A Pre-Filter Set consists of a damper and pre-filter that captures larger dust particulates and extends the life of the main HEPA filter. The main HEPA filter is designed to capture the remaining micro-particles. The filter cleaning mechanism meets OSHA Respirable Crystalline Silica Rule 1926.1153. The damper contracts during suction and rapidly expands and shakes debris from pre-filter when the vacuum is turned off. For more information, visit www.makitatools.com/dust-management  
• PORTABILITY – The compact and cordless design with a shoulder strap allows easy transport of the vacuum throughout the space for efficient use. A top handle stores out of the way and provides increased comfort during transport.

The XCV11 is part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. The 18V LXT batteries used in the XCV11 are the same 18V batteries that operate a Makita drill, impact driver, and over 200 other Makita cordless tools. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Users will experience new levels of convenience, efficiency, and productivity with Makita’s 18V LXT system.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita 18V LXT tools feature Star Protection Computer Controls™.
