I see the problem of this vacuum cleaner only in the horse price tag for the battery, it is very convenient to use, after that I don’t want to get the corded vacuum cleaner. Its pros: A lot of different nonsense has already been written, I will list the facts: 1. Suction power, for example, without any problems, I removed the bones from the dates scattered around the kitchen. A shaggy carpet will certainly not vacuum, but it is not for that either. 2. Lightweight, battery powered, no nasty wiring that needs to be switched all the time. 3. The cost without the battery was ridiculous, before the jump of the buck. Got cons: Batteries for Makita now cost just space, I had one from Makit's trimmer, so I didn't have to buy it.
