The verdictOur take

The CL121D is Makita's 12V CXT handheld vacuum, a compact body with a 1m hose, 21.7 l/s of airflow, 4.6 kPa of suction and a 0.5L dust bag, at 1.5kg bare. The hose and three speeds make it handy for corners, vehicle footwells and around the bench, and it is sold body only. We rate it a useful small clean-up machine for CXT owners; the 18V DCL184 is the LXT version with 5.4 kPa and 38W of suction power, and the DVC350 moves up to a 3L container.
