The verdictOur take

The DCL284F is Makita's 18V LXT brushless stick vacuum, with 20 l/s of airflow, 18 kPa of suction, 125W of suction power and a 0.73L container at 1kg bare. It has four speeds and an LED, runs at 65 dB(A) LpA against 72.2 dB(A) LpA on the brushed DCL181F, and is sold body only. We rate it a strong all-round LXT stick; the DCL286F adds an integrated cyclone unit, and XGT owners get 21 kPa from the CL001G.
