Alternative to deadlifts

I've been heavy lifting for a few months while eating a deficit. I use my own dumbells and don't have a barbell. I do compound lifts mostly, but have not been doing deadlifts. Is it ok to do deadlifts with dumbells, or is there an alternative lift I can do with dumbells that offer similar deadlift benefits? I feel I am missing out a great lift at the moment.
Thanks
Thanks

I believe that you can do Romanian deadlifts with dumbbells. Just look up one of the instructional videos online to learn the proper form.0
