Shop Makita DCL281FZB Vacuum Cleaner. Review: Excellent, with caveats - I've been living with this a few years now, and use it every day, on wood floors. It's excellent for removing most (dry, small) stuff from the floor. However, it's important to keep the cleaner in good condition for it to be useful, it's easy to kill its performance. Here's what I do, and it works well. 1. Only use it with the optional cyclonic attachment, and empty this very frequently. If you're watching and marvelling at the stuff rotating in the container, you're reducing the suction: you're losing energy in the airflow that could be used in lifting detritus, to move the stuff in the container around. 2. I use this with a 3Ah battery, and no less than two bars charged. This keeps the motor turning at top speed for better suction. 3. Buy a spare cloth filter. Fine dust which escapes the cyclone chokes the filter quickly and reduces suction. 4. When suction drops, stop hoovering to avoid choking the pipes. I have a spare clean filter and battery. Every time I swap the battery (about 50% discharged), I change the filter, check the pipes, and empty the cyclone container. If I don't do this, the hoover gets choked, the suction decreases, it heats choked more, and it just gets worse. It's excellent for day to day use - hair, rice crispies, coffee, crumbs etc. on a hardwood floor, if maintained as above. Absolutely hopeless on a deep pile tufted rug. I break out the monster corded Shark for that. I probably use it about ten times as often as the Shark. It's not designed to replace that, but as a 'little and often' vacuum, which it excels at. Plenty hard-wearing, and standing up well over a few years. Don't buy if you're trying to clean a building site, or expect it to replace a big corded hoover. Do buy if you want to clean up quickly after children and pets, and like the Makita advantage (quality tools, and at least as important, high quality and readily available batteries). Be realistic: it's running from an 18V battery and is not designed to be hoovering up plaster dust. At least, not for very long. Review: Surprisingly good suction - I'm surprised how good suction it has. Most of the time I don't have to use the highest power mode. I've got two 5Ah batteries but I'm able to vacuum all house on one battery. Obviously I use cyclone attachment so the filter doesn't get clogged for significantly longer time. The time the dust gets to the filter is when I lift the vacuum up side down to suck some spider webs, or when I vacuum my car without cyclone. The only problem is that I sometimes need some flexibility and I would need elastic pipe. ## Features - Brushless motor for more endurance, longer life and more compact design - Makita DCL281FZB cordless vacuum cleaner 18 V in black (without battery) - DCL281FZB - Makita ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Y5RPYST | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,047,942 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 1,084 in Stick Vacuums & Electric Brooms | | Brand Name | Makita | | Capacity | 0.75 litres | | Colour | Black | | Connectivity Technology | WLAN | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Touchpad Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (332) | | Filter Type | Cartridge | | Finish Type | glossy or matte | | Form Factor | Handheld | | Hose Length | 1.5 Metres | | Included Components | 1 x Makita DCL281FZB, 1 x Nozzle, 1 x Sash nozzle, 1 x Straight pipe | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 101.6L x 11.3W x 15.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Vacuum Cleaner | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty with a further 2 years when registered within 30 days of purchase. | | Maximum Suction | 632.88 Millimetres | | Model Name | DCL281FZB | | Model Number | DCL281FZB | | Motor Horsepower | 0.08046132 horsepower | | Noise Level | 78 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 3 | | Number of Speeds | 3 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Bagless | | Portable | Yes | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | quick cleanups of upholstered furniture and small messes around the house | | Runtime | 50 minutes | | Style Name | Single | | Surface Recommendation | Upholstery | | UPC | 088381893138 088381882323 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 18 Volts | | Wattage | 60 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Makita - **Filter type:** Cartridge - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Special feature:** Bagless - **Surface recommendation:** Upholstery ## Images ![Makita DCL281FZB Vacuum Cleaner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41cU2EIjb5L.jpg) ![Makita DCL281FZB Vacuum Cleaner - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41wDiYQ5z5L.jpg) ![Makita DCL281FZB Vacuum Cleaner - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41n7QOk4nDL.jpg) ![Makita DCL281FZB Vacuum Cleaner - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513qy6lJcQL.jpg) ![Makita DCL281FZB Vacuum Cleaner - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/416qEf4MFXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many batteries does it need** A: I use 1 x 5ah battery that gives more than adequate long domestic use. If you have anything less than 4ah you would need X2. I blow out the nylon filter regularly on an air line to maintain 100% pick up efficiency. I have not tried washing it which would probably do the same **Q: does the vacuum come with a carpet nozzle as per the picture?** A: Hi hello Good evening, in response to your question re the Makita DCL 281FZB Vacuum Cleaner ? Yes I can confirm that I am delighted with machine and it comes with a carpet head, extension tube and a fine end attachment that is all neatly packaged within a cardboard box with instructions. Good value for money. Take care, stay safe best wishes Tom **Q: Can this unit be used with a hose attachment attached to a circular saw or sander? Is it practical to do so for small amounts of cutting or sanding?** A: If you can adapt a hose from your workshop tool to fit over the 30 mm o/d pipe at the vac cleaner, you would have about 15min continious runing time and approx 1/2 pint dust volume **Q: Is this much of an upgrade from the makita dcl180 version? thank you.** A: Upgrade? Yes! But still falls short of what you would expect for the cost v performance. I purchased this for my Motorhome but has now been replaced by the household handheld Dyson. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, with caveats *by H***? on 26 December 2024* I've been living with this a few years now, and use it every day, on wood floors.

I love the ecosystem, and I have numerous tools with them 🧰. In all honesty - slight underwelmed (pros ☑️ And cons ✖️ Below) Pros: ☑️ Actually more compact than expected ☑️ Build quality seems open “ Makita“ Standard and very high, especially like the quality of the rubber on the handle grip. ☑️ Was really worried that the extension would cause me to Crouch. It doesn’t, it’s the perfect height! ☑️ When empty, suction power is significant. ☑️ When using on full power, I always got a decent 25 minutes of use on a five amp 18 V Makita battery, if not more. ☑️ Looks great! Cons ✖️Three words, loss of suction. This is by far the biggest letdown of this hoover, when hoovering dust or smaller particles dates around the linen filter and clog it. ✖️ The result of the above, cuts the suction in half mean you have to empty and dust off the filter really currently. ✖️ It’s messing to clear, and will typically require you to wash the linen filter after every use. ✖️ On some carpets when you pull the vacuum back, the front of the float or lift up pulling the suction away from the floor. This could’ve been solved with better quality wheels on the front. ✖️ The dust flap, is terrible. So this stops the hoovered debris going back down the vacuum shaft, however what happens is small particles collect at the base of the chamber set in some cases hindering or keeping the flat open so debris falls back down. 🔚 so in summary, If you are using this for workshop only use, then I suspect it would do fine. However whilst I was using it for both workshop and general housecleaning, the latter the Makita fails to measure up. The thing I’m most surprised here is Makita miss designing the filter mechanism, which is causing the loss of suction. I have a really old hoover brand handhold from five years ago, that has a cone shape filter with thicker material and this doesn’t lose suction even when the entire thing is full! If I could give this a 3.75, I would. However it’s not a 4 star product. Makita - try harder across your range please. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita DCL281FZB Vacuum Cleaner - Makita Fine Filter 443060-3 (Pack of 5) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/204116605-makita-dcl281fzb-vacuum-cleaner](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/204116605-makita-dcl281fzb-vacuum-cleaner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
