  • Skeptical at first, but now a believer
10-27-2012: Uploaded YouTube video: [...] I was a bit skeptical at first to order a blower online, primarily that if I didn't like it I would have to ship it back. This as opposed to buying at local store such as Lowes, Home Depot, or Sears where I purchased my old one. Let me say that right out of the box I was pleasantly surprised at how light weight this blower was. Compared to my Sears Craftsman, this one is really light. I read the instructions and after reading the reviews on this website, I proceeded to fill the oil and gas tank. Some reviewers had mentioned that filling the oil tank to the 2.7 oz was a bit difficult. I found otherwise. I had a small 3.04 oz oil container that I had purchased oil for my 4-cycle weed trimmer. I simply filled that to just below the shoulder, then very slowly poured the oil in. I saw immediately why some reviewers stated the oil would overfill and run out. Air bubbles get caught up in the small oil tank, so you have to allow gravity to feed those bubbles up and out the filler neck. Yes, it took several minutes to fill the oil to 2.7 ozs, but I did not spill a drop. As for the gas, what a pleasure not to have to mix oil. I would always: "Is it 40:1 or 50:1". Now, just fuel. And I did use premium fuel, as I don't like the small engines running of 15% Ethanol. After attaching the tubes, which were a bit tight to get slotted onto each other, I was ready. Following the manual to the letter, the Makita started on the very first pull. Actually, the manual states to pull lightly until you get resistance, then release and then pull the cord firmly. Well, my Makita 4-cycle started on the first pull. I was pleasantly surprised. And how quiet. After waiting a minute for it to warm up I reeved it up to full throttle. Again, so quiet. Now came the big test. I had always heard, and believed, that the higher the MPH blowing, the better. Now I am a firm believer that it is the volume of air pushed, not the velocity. This Makita was very effective in moving leaves and then blowing out my garage and my driveway. The leaves had accumalated for several weeks as I pondered which new blower to purchase. So I had quite a bit on the yard. No problem. And as for the noise, I don't think my neighbor could have heard the little 4-cycle engine running. So quiet. After a few minutes of use, I began to wonder why they had not built in another handle to allow two hands. Finally, by accident, I found that the second hand hold in on the bottom of the fuel tank. Yep. On the bottom of the tank are grooves for the fingers and hand to hold. Let me say that there is a vacuum kit available for the blower. But you have to get it from Makita online by calling them. I called and they were very familar with the vacuum kit. Cost is $92.70 plus $6.95 shipping. I have not ordered that as yet, as I really ordered this as a blower, and not to mention that with my Sears that died, I never onced used the vacuum. So I probably won't order. Hope this review helps someone decide if they want this one or not. Another footnote: I ordered the BXH2500A, which is California rated. According to Makita, the only difference is in the gas tank. Added October 27, 2012. I have posted a video on YouTube showing me blowing leaves with this blower. Here is the link. [...] . As stated in my original review, this little light weight blower will really move a lot of leaves. ... show more

  • Makita 4-Stroke Lawn and Leaf Blower
I am a gear-head and I typically keep my little two-stroke engine-powered lawn equipment running for 5-10 years. It is not uncommon for me to adjust needle-valves, clean carburetors, or replace broken fuel lines. It seems like years that I have been wanting to try a portable lawn tool with a four-stroke engine. So when my big box hardware store 8-year-old, $89 Homelite 'yard broom' two-stroke leaf blower's fuel line broke off in the gas tank, I gave myself permission to find and buy a 'quality' replacement. I feel I can justify spending more on a quality product since I keep these things for so long and I more than save the money over paying a lawn service. The cost of this Makita is more than double my predecessor Homelite. I've owned the Makita for less than 3 months so I can't comment on it's long-term reliability or service needs. It definately appears to be of higher quality construction than the Homelite in terms of thickness and ruggedness of the plastic housing and blower tube. I followed the instructions for the crankcase oil filling and fueling before startup and was amazed that the Makita started on the first pull. Literally. I started it several times to see if it was a fluke and it has always started on the first pull. The Homelite always required a minimum of three pulls. The Makita engine was tuned well right of the box, but I did experiment with the idle speed. I found that it would idle smoothly and quietly at what sounds like less than half of the factory setting. The Makita 4-stroke is significantly more quiet at idle than the 2-stroke Homelite. However at full power, I can't say one seems more quiet than the other. The two-stroke had a high-pitched whirr that blended with the sound of the blower whereas the four-stroke engine sound is definately separate from the sound of wind rushing... but they are both loud when working hard. The convenience of not having to mix oil and gas as with a two-stroke is not a big help to me yet because I still need to fuel my string trimmer, edger, and hedge trimmer. Reduced emissions/ not intentionally burning oil is a plus with the four-stroke and maybe I'll get to migrate to four-stroke when those other lawn tools die. I think there are some areas where emission requirements preclude use of two-stroke lawn tools, but not in my situation. What is hard to cost-justify is the Makita's lawn and leaf blowing abilities. I can't tell that it is superior to the Homelite in this, it's whole purpose for existance; and it is certainly not twice as capable even though it is twice the price. In my experience with dirt-bikes and lawn-mowers, two-stroke engines are more 'finicky' and are less likely to keep running smoothly without some kind of attention than are four-stroke engines. It could be possible that the Makita's four-stroke will better-serve someone who doesn't do their own engine adjustments or maintenance than a two-stroke tool like my Homelite. I was pleasantly surprised to see 'Made in USA' on the label and, upon researching it, apparently Makita does a lot of U.S. manufacturing which I consider a mark in the Makita's favor. Overall I am very pleased with the Makita. I enjoy using it, admire it's build quality and ease of starting, and it's smooth, quiet idle. I'm glad I treated myself to a quality tool with cleaner emissions that's made in U.S.A. I expect that it will prove to be quality and serviceable in the long term, but I really can't say it does a superior job at blowing leaves and lawn clippings over my $89 Homelite if that is your primary critera. Update: July 2022 - wow it's been 10 years, and I'm happy to report that the Made in USA Makita still starts on the first pull. Other than oil changes, my only maintenance has been to replace the gasoline primer squeeze bulb at about year 9... two screws, low cost, easy access. Very pleased with this product. ... show more
