Keeping it clean: Makita expands XGT with new cordless extractor

Makita has introduced a new 40VMax XGT cordless vacuum and dust extractor, designed to deliver high performance with on-site portability. The VC013G is a compact L-Class unit suitable for both dust extraction and general cleaning tasks.

Offering a maximum sealed suction of 15kPa and airflow of up to 2.0m³/min, the VC013G provides a notable increase in power over previous 18V models, without added bulk. Despite its output, noise levels are kept to a maximum of 75dB, aided by refined motor housing design. A pre-filter and HEPA filter ensure effective dust capture and improved air quality.

Designed for low-hazard dust applications, such as softwood and plasterboard, the unit also features Makita’s AWS (Auto-Start Wireless System), enabling automatic operation when paired with compatible tools via Bluetooth.

A brushless motor improves efficiency and runtime, delivering between 22 and 120 minutes from a 5.0Ah battery, with compatibility for higher-capacity 8.0Ah batteries. Adjustable suction, wet cleaning capability and a blower function add further versatility.

Compact and easy to transport, the VC013G includes a carry handle, shoulder strap and optional casters for increased mobility.
