Product Information

Full details

The Makita VS001GZ Cordless Vacuum Sweeper is designed for professionals and homeowners needing efficient debris clearing for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its primary benefit is high cleaning performance across various surfaces and debris types, powered by 40Vmax XGT battery technology. A key consideration is that batteries and chargers are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase if you don't already own compatible Makita XGT power sources. Key features include dual electric rotary brushes, adjustable suction, a dust collection system, and a foldable design for portability and storage.

How wide is the cleaning path?

Does it come with batteries and a charger?

No, the Makita VS001GZ is sold without batteries and a charger. These must be purchased separately.

How is the sweeper stored?

The sweeper features a foldable handle, allowing it to be collapsed into a more compact size for easier storage and transport. It is also compatible with Makpac cases.

Can the side brush be turned off?

Yes, the side brush, along with the suction fan, can be turned off to suit different cleaning needs and surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Sweeper not turning on

Ensure the 40Vmax XGT battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the battery connection and try a different battery if available.

Reduced suction power

Check and clean the dust bag and filter. Ensure no blockages are present in the intake path or brushes. Verify the correct speed setting is selected.

Debris not being swept effectively

Adjust the side brush height if applicable. Ensure the rotary brushes are clean and free of tangled debris. Increase the electric speed setting if necessary.

Side brush not rotating

Verify the side brush is enabled in the settings. Inspect the side brush for obstructions or damage. Ensure the unit is powered on.

Unit stops unexpectedly

This could be due to an overloaded motor or battery protection. Allow the unit to cool down and check for blockages. Ensure the battery is not depleted.
