Same summary

The Makita DVC261ZX15 is a cordless backpack vacuum cleaner that makes the most sense for users who value mobility and fast cordless work when cleaning a workshop, garage or car. The backpack style allows for freedom of movement, and with two connections for 18 V batteries, it is suitable for use in medium-sized spaces where changing or sharing batteries is not a problem. For those who want longer continuous work or do not already have compatible Makita batteries, the fact that batteries and charger are not included may be a limitation. The model is particularly interesting where practicality and flexibility are more important than maximum suction power or an extremely large dust container capacity.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Does the vacuum cleaner work without the included batteries?

No, it requires two 18 V Makita batteries to operate, which are not included with this model, so they must be purchased separately or used from other Makita tools.

What is the main advantage of a backpack vacuum cleaner compared to classic models?

The backpack design allows for easy movement around the room and puts less strain on your hands, so it is suitable if you spend a lot of time in a larger workshop or move around frequently when cleaning.

Is this model suitable for vacuuming wet particles or liquids?

The model is primarily designed for dry vacuuming of dust and smaller particles. For vacuuming liquids, check for possible accessories or choose a model that unanimously supports wet use.

How long can I breastfeed on one charge?

The operating time depends on the capacity of the batteries used and the working method, but with two fully charged 18 V batteries you can expect enough power for most common workshop tasks.
