  • Works Great! Def. Worth it.
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries Style: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
Previously I had a commercial backpack blower by this company which worked fine but I finally got tired of lifting the heavy gas powered unit. This is my first battery powered yard device and I’m very pleased with the output, duration and ease of use. Why did I choose Makita? Because these are from Japan and this company is known to be top quality for battery powered tools. When you buy battery powered units, you ARE buying into an ecosystem because batteries are proprietary - so choose well. Note: I tried a generic cheap brand from my local big box store but didn’t like the cheap plastic housing on their unit. I also didn’t like their stiff trigger mechanism - read below and you will see why having a sensitive power trigger is a must have. I also didn’t want to get locked into a mediocre quality for batter power tools. Read more below. You can see my rock terraced yard; I live in the bottom of a canyon with lots of oak trees - LEAVES galore!! Long story short, this unit is easy to grab and blow so now it’s fun to keep the yard looking nice. Battery stuff - I like that it has a button you can push to check stored battery level. True -> I had to learn how to manage these new rechargeable batteries - (1) must have both batteries inserted to operate (2) must remove batteries when not in use, otherwise they will slowly drain just by being in full contact (3) similarly must always remove batteries once fully charged and set aside (off blower) until ready to actually blow leaves (4) ideally you use most all of the battery power before recharging - yes this means sometimes you finish with only using 1/2 to 2/3rds power and won’t have enough juice to do everything the next time - just plan ahead and do a small segment next time, recharge and then finish later. Note: I am considering buying another pair of batteries. Weight - It is a little heavy on my forearm but then I just switch hands or use my other hand to help hold it. I did buy their strap and it is still too short to fit well enough to support the unit and get the end of the blower close enough to the ground. Note: their store sells an extension part that supposedly fits on the end of the blower pipe - it does not fit because the end of the blower pipe you get is circular and smooth. The accessory extension piece has a mounded twist on it. It’s just a **replacement** part for the pipe you get in the boxed unit - not a part designed to extend the standard unit you are buying. Trigger - is fantastically sensitive - really nice when you need to control getting leaves into a pile right where you want them. I use this soft power getting around rocks and tight spaces where I don’t want to blast leaves back onto clean areas. Big plus to have nice responsive power control. Sound - is relatively quiet. With my commercial backpack unit I had to wear over-ear muffs. No need for any ear protection with this unit. My neighbor’s door is only 15 feet from the side of my house and they cannot hear me blowing even at full blast. A real plus because they are having a baby soon. Storage - is very nice because it takes up a very small footprint when stood in end leaning against something. Definite plus because I can keep it in the laundry room. I kept my old Makita backpack unit chained up outside with a nylon cover over it (no garage or shed) and the rats got to it, liking to chew the plastic on it - ugghh. Hope you found my review helpful - cheers! ... show more

  • Plenty of power and light weight
Size: Blower Only Style: Blower Only
I recently discarded an old corded blower that I hadn't used in about 30 years. After recently installing over 11,000 square feet of pavers on our property, my needs changed dramatically. The Makita unit exceeded my expectations. First, no more cord or gas engine to deal with. Thankfully, it used the same 18v batteries that my other Makita tools use - I have many. But, most impressive is the power for such a small unit. I rarely use the blower on its highest setting; it just isn't necessary. On the medium setting (3) it can move just about anything. Add the concentrator nozzle and this thing is a beast. It is efficient enough that i have yet to require more than one set of fully charged batteries to clean up the entire property. I couldn't be happier. ... show more

  • LOVE THIS MAKITA 36V blower
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries Style: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
VERY SATISFIED. Let's set the table. For really heavy leaf blowing I have the Red Max 8500 back pack blower, their almost top of the line in terms of power. Yes this is not as powerful and is not meant to do the 1,500 lbs of leaves and acorns I do each fall on my 16,000 sq ft. BUT it's plenty powerful for all kinds of blowing around the yard, driveway, pool area , all of which are not small. If you have maple leaves it could probably do 4,000 sq ft. AND on one charge using Makita 5amp hr batteries. It's also fantastic for blowing our garage, cars, etc. If you want REAL power - buy the Red Max - I have both, and for all the non full yard jobs, this is so much easier and lighter. When I let my wife try it, I was Amazed - she does not blow leaves, yet when I suggested she give it a little try, she actually went out and did the whole driveway which is bigger than most driveways!!. I DO SUGGEST THAT YOU BUY A STRAP FOR IT, I BOUGHT THIS ONE Universal Shoulder Strap for Leaf Blower & String Trimmer, Compatible with EGO Power+ /for LEAPUL/for DEWALT/for MZK/for Greenworks/for EWORK/for LAZYBOI and More Leaf Blower Cordless (1, Balck) ... show more
