You would think that, given the cost and the fact that the batteries/charger cost AS MUCH as the vacuum - you'd be getting some commercial level quality.
This is NOT the case. Anything over the dust-bunny level isn't going to get picked up by this. Save your $$ and just get a Black and Decker. Or 4 for that matter.

I'm sorry, but I am disappointed with my purchase. I love the concept of a cordless vacuum with the extention, but even the 9.6v is too weak. It's not effective for much more than dust balls. Any debris with any weight to it will fall right back out when you turn it off. Definitely room for improvement.

I got this as a promo for buying a few "bazillion" dollars worth of Makita tools. The wife thinks is a poor excuse for a gift, ouch! The kids think its fun to play with. I use it as my emergency extra 9.6 battery stash. Somebody told me it was a vacuum, call it a toy and give it to the kids. You'll get more for your money if you do that, then trying to vacuum with it.

I love this for our floor. This vacuum works great for me to pick up all the stuff from the floor before I mop or just every few days for maintenance work. It's light-weight and easy to use. The only time I have to bend down is to get under the couch. I would NOT recommend this on carpet, but it's great on tiles and wood floor which is what we have. I've been able to avoid lots of major mopping before company arrives by just using this vacuum.

This sweeper is near perfect, and I've tried them all.
Will do 1,000 sq ft plus on the lower powered, cheaper, stick battery. we bought the battery for 33.00 at home depot, since we already had a pod style charger.
Be aware you need to buy a stick battery and will need the correct charger to go with it, to run this vac!
I love the extended pole on the END of the vac. I can now clean in areas that no other cordless sweeper could reach before.
The wide handle is a little fatiguing on my small hand, but I'll get accustomed to it.
Won't do carpets, but on the plus side, there is no brush roll to get tangled with hair.
This vac is great for a house that is mostly hard floors with kids that drop crumbs and track in leaves. gets up dust and hair as well.

Carefully note that this item is shipped WITHOUT BATTERY! If you have other 9.6V Makita tools this might be OK, but I don't, and I didn't read the description carefully before ordering.

So now it's time to evaluate the additional cost of a battery and charger AND THEN determine whether the performance is worth the (total) price.

G-Day Mate The Makita cordless cleaner is a very good cleaner, but in the review the cost of the battery and charger is not included. Some info about the charger would be good. I live in Australia, so what sort of price would I pay landed here.? I would like to send one to my mother-in- law, who has a bad back. Cleaning up with this unit is much better on my back so I'll know she will love it. God Bless Makita Cordless.

PS I have the 7.2V not the 9.6V

Thanks Mate.
