The verdictOur take

The DCL180 is Makita's 18V LXT stick vacuum, a brushed machine with 23.3 l/s of airflow, 4.2 kPa of suction and a 0.65L container at 0.9kg bare. It is a plain stick with a filter and prefilter, sold body only, for LXT owners who want a light clean-up tool for vans, cabs and site huts. We rate it a sensible entry stick; the DCL181F adds two speeds and an LED at 0.8kg, while the brushless DCL284F has 18 kPa of suction.
