Makita 40V Max Brushless Wet/Dry Vacuum VC003GL

Makita 40V Max Brushless Wet/Dry Vacuum (VC003GL Range)

The Makita 40V Max Brushless Wet/Dry Vacuum (VC003GL) delivers the ultimate in cordless extraction power, engineered to provide performance equivalent to traditional 240V AC vacuums. Driven by Makita's advanced 40V Max XGT platform and a highly efficient Brushless motor, this vacuum generates a massive 265W of suction power, a max sealed suction of 23kPa, and a max air volume of 2.8m³/min (46L/s). Whether you need to extract fine dry dust or tackle large liquid spills, the VC003GL powers through the toughest applications with a generous 15L dry and 12L wet capacity.

Designed for professional trades and commercial cleaning, this vacuum focuses heavily on operator convenience and durability. It features a superior airflow design that ensures low noise operation (70dB), making it less disruptive on the job site. The variable suction control dial allows you to easily adjust the performance to match your specific task, helping to optimize battery runtime—achieving up to 28 minutes of continuous use on the maximum setting, or an incredible 220 minutes on the lowest setting when using two BL4050F batteries. The durable plastic container is built to absorb impacts without denting like metal, and a protective rubber bumper safeguards furniture and walls as you move the unit around.

Ideal For:

• Commercial Cleaners & Facility Management: The cordless operation, low noise design, and large 15L capacity make it ideal for offices, schools, and hospitals.
• Construction & Trades: Delivers massive 23kPa suction equivalent to corded machines to extract heavy job site debris without the trip hazard of power cables.
• Workshop Maintenance: Easily handles both dry wood shavings and wet liquid spills, making it a highly versatile tool for any garage or workshop.
