The verdictOur take

The DVC151L is Makita's L class vacuum that runs on mains or two 18V LXT packs; this 240V version gives 60 l/s of airflow, 24 kPa of suction and a 15L container at 8.9kg. L class covers general and wood dust, and it comes with a 2.5m antistatic 38mm hose, a HEPA filter you shake clean by hand and a 5m cable; it is sold body only. We rate it a flexible clean-up vacuum for workshops and domestic jobs; the 110V DVC151L for sites has a 3.5m 28mm hose, and the corded VC2000L adds wet pick-up with a 16L container.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
