MAKITA ANNOUNCES NEW LXT UPRIGHT VACUUM

The commercial-use upright vacuum allows user to clean more without a cord.

November 17, 2020, La Mirada, CA – Makita USA, Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools and accessories, is excited to introduce the 18V X2 (36V) LXT^® Brushless 1.3 Gallon HEPA Filter 12” Upright Dry Vacuum (XCV19). Designed for the hotel and hospitality industry, this vacuum offers freedom from the cord for maximum productivity.

This is Makita’s first cordless upright vacuum and it carries the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval Certification for high performance in commercial cleaning applications.

“The upright vacuum is the most popular model used in the commercial market today,” asserts Jenny Feng, Product Manager, Vacuums and Dust Extractors. “We are pleased to have the CRI seal, which means users can count on consistent performance from our new cordless upright vacuum.”

The powerful Makita-built brushless motor generates 67 CFM of suction power and 48” of water lift. The upright vacuum has a cleaning path of 12” for optimal efficiency and four height adjustment levels adjust to differing floor types. It can vacuum hardwood, tile, and carpet floors. The vacuum can flatten into a horizontal position to easily clean under furniture.

The vacuum cleaner has 3 speed options (high/medium/low) to match the speed to the application. Using two 18V LXT 6.0Ah batteries, the vacuum gets 60 minutes of continuous run time on the medium setting and 30 minutes on the high setting.

Oftentimes noise level is important in the hotel/hospitality environment. The XCV19 has noise level of 57dB(A) on low setting and 67dB(A) on high. This allows for less disturbance to guests when staff is cleaning.

The efficient two-stage HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particulates .3 microns and larger. The dust bag is easy to replace and seals in the debris.

18V LXT^® System

The LXT System takes you from power tools to vacuums to get the job done. With over 275 cordless products, the LXT System is the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita^® 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

“This vacuum is just one product in our wide range cordless vacuum products,” states Feng. “We can demonstrate the benefit of cordless cleaning with other products like backpack, compact, canister and robotic vacuums, which can be used in lobbies, restaurants, elevators, staircases, meeting rooms, entry ways and so on.”

Star Protection Computer Controls

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
