The verdictOur take

The M18 BLCV2 is Milwaukee's 18V brushless L class compact vacuum, with 18.9 l/s of airflow, 16.2 kPa of suction and a 0.75L container at 1.7kg bare, sold body only. It suits quick dry clean-ups in vans and cars, with a 1.8m hose, a cyclone separator, an LED light and an L class rated filter. We rate it a strong handheld for M18 owners; the M12 HV is the stick option on M12 packs with 15.6 l/s, and the M18 FBPV2 backpack holds 3.8L but is louder at 74 dB(A) LpA against 70 dB(A).
