Great suction but the rest of the design is really poor

I've had this extraction unit now for 6 months so I think I am in a position to give a useful review on it after many projects. The short version is no, I would not recommend this. Its poorly designed and at the same time, expensive. The good points - The suction is powerful - The dual filter system is great, it never clogs up - You get a floor vacuum set unlike other brands - You get two hoses for different uses Now the bad points - The three wheel design makes it unstable and want to topple over if the ground is less than perfectly smooth - There is no storage for all the attachments, the hoses, the cord, etc. This is ridiculous for a machine at this price ... I would expect this kind of annoyance with a Henry. - The storage there is, doesn't work well, and the manual is just plain incorrect. - You don't get adapters needed for Makita tools - and now I have more little plastic bits to put nowhere - The metal pipes for the floor vac don't stay together and just fall apart during use - The alarm is infuriating... it goes off when I am vacuuming the floor and it doesn't matter what speed to set the suction to, it goes off. There is no way to disable it when you don't need it. - The rubber blanking cap will for sure break after I've put it in and out a few more times - Its heavy - The hose / cable clips are poorly designed an annoying. - The bags are hard to dismount without getting dust everywhere - Festool system is much better - The cable and hoses are shorter than the competition (see Festool again) - The 28mm hose has a tendency to fall off as its just screwed into the hose... again, a really cheap design. See the rotating cuff on the end of a Festool hose.

Merchant Response
Dear Rad, many thanks for taking the time to review the Makita Corded Dust Extractor - this will be very useful for anyone considering buying a vacuum cleaner. As this product comes with a 1-year guarantee you should be able to return the product to Makita for a refund or perhaps a replacement (a better model!). No doubt they would also be grateful for some feedback on the design / features of this dust extractor so they can make some improvements in the future. Kind regards, Travis Perkins Team
