The verdictOur take

The M18 FBPV2 is Milwaukee's 18V FUEL L class backpack vacuum, with 33 l/s of airflow, 13.7 kPa of suction and a 3.8L container at 8.7kg bare, sold body only. Worn on the back, it suits stairwells, fit-outs and multi-room clean-ups where dragging a tank around is awkward, with a 48mm hose, a DEK26 adaptor and a HEPA H13 filter; it is for dry pick-up only. We rate it a smart choice for mobile clean-up; the M18 FVC23L takes 23L for bigger volumes, while the M18 BLCV2 is a 1.7kg handheld for quick jobs.
