Makita’s VC010G upright vacuum cleaner is the latest cleaning product to be added to the company’s battery powered XGT portfolio.
This high-powered, high-suction, highly manoeuvrable vacuum is an ideal solution for aiding professionals with more efficient and smoother cleaning, via features such as a redesigned suction port.
Makita’s new powerful VC010G upright vacuum has three settings, with a suction power of 110W on its highest mode, 50W on normal and 25W on quiet mode, with runtimes on each of 25, 50 and 100 minutes. It has a max sealed suction power of 15 kPa, providing consistent performance throughout use. It also has a max air flow of 1.8 m³/min and a high dust pick-up rate. The redesigned suction port has an increased cleaning width of 381mm for better overall coverage. The vacuum also includes a HEPA filter for catching fine particles.
The VC010G also includes a five-stage brushroll height adjustment for a variety of cleaning applications, and the brushes on each side of the cleaner head have been designed to easily remove the dust accumulated along and close to walls, without the user having to change the direction of the appliance. For additional manoeuvrability, the main body of the vacuum is able to tilt up to 90 degrees, allowing professionals to more easily reach tight places, such as under furniture.
The wide bumper which covers the front of the head gives both the vacuum and furniture increased protection from damage whilst cleaning, and the vacuum will give alerts when the filter is clogged, the battery is close to overheating, or when there is a rotational brushroll error.
The VC010G allows for toolless brushroll replacement, for quick and easy maintenance, and there is space for convenient storage of the nozzle, brush and pipe on the machine itself.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, said: “Using XGT batteries, this new model is an evolution of our popular DVC560 LXT upright vacuum. This new machine fits beautifully into our wider range of cordless cleaning products, and matches them in being powerful, flexible and an ideal cleaning solution for professionals.”
