Key Features
Strong Suction, Compact SizeThe Makita GLC01M1 compact stick vacuum delivers up to 42 CFM and 84 inches of static water lift, so it has the pull you need for fast cleanup without dragging around a full-size vacuum. 4-Speed ControlFour power settings let you manage suction and run time based on the mess in front of you, which is a lot more useful on service work than one full-blast mode. HEPA FiltrationThe two-stage HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particulates down to 0.3 microns, making this stick vacuum a better fit for indoor cleanup where dust control actually matters.
Overview
The Makita GLC01M1 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 4-Speed HEPA Filter Compact Stick Vacuum Kit is a cordless stick vacuum built for fast cleanup on jobsites, in service vans, and around finished spaces. This is a compact stick vacuum designed for quick debris pickup and dust-conscious cleanup. Model Number: GLC01M1. If you want something lighter and quicker than hauling out a full-size vacuum for every small mess, this is the kind of tool that earns its spot fast.
What makes this vacuum useful is the balance between size and actual working performance. Makita rates it at up to 42 CFM with 84 inches of static water lift, which means it is not just for crumbs and finish dust. It has enough suction for routine floor cleanup and spot pickup in commercial or residential spaces. The 4-speed push-button control is a big deal here because you can back the power down for lighter cleanup and stretch run time, or turn it up when you need stronger pull.
Run time is another reason this kit makes sense for service work and punch-list cleanup. With the included 40V max XGT 4.0Ah battery, Makita states up to 128 minutes of run time. That gives you a lot more flexibility than a compact vacuum that dies after a few rooms. If you are moving between units, cleaning after installs, or keeping a truck stocked for quick touch-up work, long run time matters more than fancy extras.
The filtration setup is built for cleaner indoor use. The two-stage HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particulates at 0.3 microns and larger, and the vacuum uses a bagless canister with cloth filtration for easier debris disposal. That means less downtime dealing with replacement bags and less mess when emptying it out. For remodelers, finish carpenters, facility maintenance crews, and anyone working in occupied spaces, that filtration setup is one of the main reasons to choose this model over a basic utility vacuum.
Makita also got the day-to-day details right. The vacuum has a quiet operating sound level of 65 dB(A) on high and 54 dB(A) on low, which helps when you are working in homes, offices, or anywhere noise gets noticed fast. There is also an LED light to help you see what you are picking up in low-light corners, under cabinets, or around mechanical equipment. The compact body, ergonomic handle, and rubberized soft grip all point to the same goal: make it easy to grab, use, and put away without turning cleanup into its own project.
Because this is part of the Makita 40V max XGT platform, it fits into a battery system made for higher-demand cordless tools. Makita also calls out the digital communication between the tool and battery for overload, over-discharge, and overheating protection. If you are already on XGT, this kit drops right into the system. If you are building out an XGT setup and want a cleanup tool that matches the platform, this is a practical add rather than a novelty.
Who should buy it? This compact vacuum is a smart pick for contractors, service techs, maintenance crews, remodelers, and serious DIY users who need quick cleanup without cords. It makes the most sense for people who value portability, HEPA-level filtration, and battery-platform convenience over the larger capacity of a full-size shop vacuum. For small to medium cleanup tasks, the Makita GLC01M1 is built to save time, keep dust under control, and stay out of your way.
