Judging from the advertising, the Xtract Vac is meant to be used with many of Makita's concrete tools; as such, it needs to be able to work well in extreme conditions. Sure enough, the vac easily handled concrete, drywall mix, sawdust, and other debris during my tests. I periodically checked the filters during testing and was pleased to find that the self-cleaning action-which kicks on every 15 to 20 seconds-does a great job of keeping the filters clear and the suction high. The front wheels are prone to snags, but this vac is light and easy to lift when necessary. It's also stable, despite its relatively tall, narrow shape.
