With zero emissions & lower noise, The 18V x2 (36V) cordless blower is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. It's powered by two 18V LXT batteries (sold separately) for maximum power & run time, but without leaving the 18V battery platform. With the efficient Makita BL Brushless motor, the blower delivers longer run time, increased power & speed, & longer tool life. Makita efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use forup to 50% longer run timeper battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power & speed when needed. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL Brushless motor runs cooler & more efficiently for longer life. When powered by two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, The efficient brushless motor deliversup to 28 Min of run-time on dial setting 3 on a single charge.

  • Very powerful
Style: Tool Only
I have the small single battery Makita, which is good for it's light weight, but it's not too powerful. I used to have a Stihl gas blower, died, but powerful. We have a Toro you plug in, pretty powerful. This one blows them all away, pun not intended. This blower will move piles of leaves, blow twigs and leaves off the roof 15' away, clear gutters with industrial strength, glow sand and gravel like it's paper, and even blow smaller rocks that are in you way. It really is the most powerful blower I've ever used. It's somewhat heavy, so I end up changind hands fairly often, but it's not an issue for me. A smaller person or possibly a woman with smaller hands might not find it as well fitted, but to be this powerful, it is what it is. For me, it's a true game changer of a blower. It's adjustable. I usually use it on 3 or 4 (of 6). When I really need to move something, of if there are piles of wet leaves or something, or gutters, then I use 5 or 6. On 3, battery lasts a long time, almost same on 4. On 6, not so much. I don't time it, but I can ususally finish even a larger job on 3. On 6, I'm sure to have a second set of batteries charged. But, small price to pay for the power of this blower. I've had it for about 3 months, and use it daily (weekly now that it's winter). ... show more

  • LOVE IT!!
Style: Tool Only
What can i say besides this is everything i hoped it would be. Quiet, POWERFUL, and it really is a replacement for gas models. I just received this today but my family was over and everyone was just amazed with this unit. Speed one is ultra-quiet and very effective at moving things on hard surfaces. The volume of air it moves just pushes debris around like its nothing. I guess i didn't realize or read up, but i though that this unit did not have a variable speed trigger; however, it DOES have a variable speed trigger. While this may not be an important feature for you, it is nice to use "just a little" power in certain areas. Speed 6 really has some power. The kind that will hurt your wrist over time. It's probably too powerful to use on a regular basis and it eats through batteries quick. I think i got 15 minutes on my 4.0hr batteries. That should not be a negative though. Seriously, the amount of power that it puts out for 15 minutes is nothing short of amazing for a battery powered unit. I will be using it on 4-5 speed mostly. Speed 6 does move leaves very well. Even wet leaves. It will also pick up and move soil so be careful. This think rocks. Just buy it. ... show more

  • Love this thing! So convenient and easy to use
Style: Tool Only
This thing is great. I wish I just bit the bullet and got this thing earlier. I got a shopvac (Ridgid brand but you know what I mean) and it had a detachable top part that could be used as a blower. I figured I could use it as an electric leaf blower and a shopvac....which I never did + the shopvac is always in the basement = not convenient to use as a blower. Then I got the Toro leaf vac/blower to vacuum up leaves and figured that'd be easier to use as a blower + a vac. It works but it's a pain to get out the 100ft 12awg extension cord every time I want to just do a quick cleanup w/the blower function. Finally got the Makita blower (I already had Makita 18v tools + batteries) but still got two of the 5Ah batteries since this thing drains them quickly. I only had the older 3Ah batteries and wanted to get more runtime. It works great, is well balanced w/the batteries on it, and the tube on the front can be shortened or extended depending on how you connect it (pretty genius setup really). I didn't get a gas blower b/c I didn't want one more small engine to take care of + get the mixed fuel, etc. This Makita one has all the advantages of the gas and the electric, only slight downside is battery life. The battery life has been fine for all the jobs I've had/quick cleanups. I gave it 4 stars for battery life since it definitely drains them quickly, but this isn't really a downside. Give me all the power you can and I'll manage the battery run-time. Also it has an adjustable power-level dial which helps battery life if you don't need full blast. The trigger is not speed sensitive (just on/off) but b/c its battery powered, you can easily pulse the trigger on/off to attenuate the power as well. ***EDIT*** The trigger is speed sensitive, so that combined with the adjustable power-level dial makes it very easy to modulate airflow It is so quick and convenient to use that I find myself using it almost daily to clear grass clippings, clear the back deck real quick, etc. I also use it when I'm doing projects, clear sawdust out of the garage or off the miter saw, circular saw, etc. If you have a huge yard or want all-day runtime, get the gas powered Stihl backpack blower - this isn't designed to compete with that use-case. If you want to keep your deck, garage, patio/patio furniture, front walk clean, this is the ticket. It is so easy + convenient to use that you'll find yourself using it lots! ... show more

  • Powerful, Premium Blower
Style: Tool Only
I have a lot of hours on this blower now, so I can give a detailed review of it. The Good: It has a lot of power, enough even to move wet leaves. The blower nozzle is detachable, which I thought would be a useless feature, but it means the blower can be stored and transported more easily. The long nozzle is very easy to take on and off, and attaches securely to the blower when you want it. It is much quieter than a gas blower in operation, and the balance is good so you don't find yourself getting tired from running it all day. Build quality is typical for a Makita tool - it is solid, well-made and likely to last many years even if used hard. The bad: It doesn't run a terribly long time on a single set of batteries, on high. There is a knob to turn down the power and that will make the batteries last a bit longer, but I find I just run it flat out most of the time because you are moving more leaves more quickly on high. The run time isn't atrociously short given the power of the thing, but you will still be wishing you didn't need fresh batteries quite so quickly. If you are thinking about buying a blower this large and expensive it is likely because you have a fair bit to do. A relatively short run time + big job = this thing can eat through a whole rack of your expensive Makita 18v batteries and so you better have a bunch of them on hand. I'd say that you need a minimum of four, 5 amp hour batteries if you expect to do any reasonable amount of work with this thing. Personally, I can easily go through six 5 amp hour batteries with this thing fast enough that the standard, two bay Makita quick charger can't keep up. In other words, the first set of dead batteries generally isn't quite fully recharged before I've burned through another two sets of 5ah batteries. If you are already fairly deep into the Makita system and have a bunch of high amp hour 18v Makita batteries already, then this is probably a sensible purchase if you need a high-end blower. On the other hand, if this is going to be your first Makita tool, think very carefully about how long you need it to run and how many batteries you are going to have to buy on top of the tool. This is the only Makita tool I own where owning a total of 6 5ah batteries and one two-bay quick charger that I can use on-site isn't quite enough to get me through a full day's worth of work. ... show more

  • Powerful, Efficient, and Perfect for Makita Users
Style: Tool Only
The Makita XBU02Z is an impressive cordless blower that delivers strong, consistent pressure thanks to its efficient brushless motor. It easily clears leaves, grass clippings, and debris without the noise or hassle of a gas-powered model. I love that it’s part of the Makita LXT system, so I can use the same batteries I already have for my other tools. The build quality feels solid and comfortable to use for extended periods. Overall, it’s a powerful and reliable addition to any Makita toolkit! ... show more

  • Plenty of power and light weight
Style: Tool 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

  • Powerful
Style: Tool Only
Great power. I am very impressed with the power of this blower. It is more powerful than the corded one my father-in-law has. I can blow wet leaves with it and anything else a blower should. cons. I got two 5AH batteries for it when I got it and they don't last long enough. I have range anxiety. I should have got the 6AH batteries. I run the thing at full blast most of the time and I'm always worried that it will die right before I get done with the job. Also the blower is so powerful that it pushes back on my hand and becomes fatiguing after awhile. I use the strap that came with my Makita weed eater to help but it's not enough. I try and brace it with my hip sometimes but since it's a straight through design I can get my shirt sucked into the back of it. I wish it had an attachment that let you brace it against your hip. I also don't like the placement of the battery level gage. pros. Powerful. Lightweight (even with 5AH batteries). Not very loud, much quieter than my father-in-laws corded blower or a gas blower. No gas or smells to deal with. I would buy it again but would get the bigger batteries. ... show more

  • Yeah, it’s a little heavy, with batteries, 9.2 pounds. This thing is a strong blower
Style: Tool Only
If you purchase this blower, make sure you get the 6.0 Ah Makita, Ginuwine batteries I know the batteries are a little expensive. But when it comes to lithium ion batteries, Makita has done a lot of research to get the most charge out of there batteries that you can get so don’t waste your money on aftermarket batteries you will be disappointed I ran this blower for roughly about 10 - 15 minutes minutes straight . I went back and pulled the batteries out thinking maybe I’ll put them on the charger and I did but they but they still showed they had a full charge. The one thing I loved about this blower is the adjustable thumb wheel 1-6 blower speed, & push button lock on either side whether you’re left-handed or right handed & with adjustable nozzle. That being said. This thing is pretty sweet. ... show more
