Makita Robotic Vacuum - DRC200Z - Commercial BotVac - 4+ years of daily use - How has it held up?

Several of you guys had asked about the 36v DRC200Z Makita vacuum you see in the background of some of my videos, so I figured I'd turn it into a long term review as well since there isn't a whole lot out there for this. It is intended for commercial/shop use, NOT your home.

It is good for bigger homes with large free space without carpet, i am a builder so i already had a pile of batteries. My entire house is tile so it works great !

Hi Scott, cool review ! Would you use it for a CrossFit gym with rubber floor and lot of magnesie dust?

[@tier1detailing]

Cool review Scott! Would you still buy this today? Seems like one of the advantages it has over residential models is the dust bin size. Now that there's residential models that self empty for under $1k, would you still go the makita route?

[@ScottHD]

Even with the price increase, I definitely would. It's more than paid for itself over the years. For sure a "buy once cry once" type of product but it has room for improvement

The vacuum cleaner is suitable for a restaurant. does he go under the tables?

Great video, but I’m a mobile guy. With that said, can I reach out to you through a different source to ask you a couple of questions? I understand that your years of knowledge can’t be free, so I’m willing to pry for an half hour of your time on the phone or email. Thank you.

Send me an email and we can get things rolling. On vacation this week with the family but I have email access nearby.

Unless they make it smart to go and charge by itself, it's a no for me.

[@kitsurubami]

why the hell wouldn't you just buy one for household use and use that in your shop? they cost like 1/8 the price!

A home one will not pick up nails and big things.

[@kitsurubami]

@@nostalgiainfinityoh I see. Thank you!

Doesn’t even move efficiently Why is is SOOO expensive! Especially the new one! And no battery. Our house has the same kind of dirt as the garage / shop. So why is this so much more superior than a home based Robo vac???
