Description

With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Blower (XBU03Z) is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. It’s powered by one 18V LXT battery (sold separately), the same battery that powers the full range of solutions in the expanding LXT system. This blower features a compact and ergonomic design, weighing in at only 6. 5 lbs. and measuring 32-1/2” long. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life, and delivers speeds up to 116 MPH air velocity and a full 459 CFM. Makita’s efficient BL Brushless Motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. A cruise control lever provides management of power and run time. The XBU03Z features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool, and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection- equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

    • Great quality and blowing capacity!
Makita makes a quality product. I purchased this as my current blower was electric and required an extension cord to work. My driveway is 300’ and that’s a lot of extension cord!! The Makita blower takes care of clearing my driveway of leaves and debris with a powerful blowing capacity. I did buy 2 rechargeable batteries, and I’m glad I did as it takes both to clear the whole driveway. They are fast charge so are ready in 30 mins to be used on the next clearing job. It is also light enough that my wife can comfortably use it for extended periods. ... show more

    • Surprisingly light and powerful
Very happy purchase. Paid for itself with the first usage (didn't have to hire the cleanup crew). Made clearing leaves from all the delicate plants very easy, and probably much safer than trying to rake it all out (much less damaging if you keep the airflow at the base). I started using it after some rain, and I'm really impressed that it handles wet leaves just fine (I was worried about a lack of power). A new-ish 6 amp battery doesn't last very long, maybe 10 minutes or so, so it really helps to have extras. The product photos show it with an extra nozzle, and it's not very obvious unless you do your research that the Z indicates it doesn't have a nozzle, so I'm disappointed to not have that - it would have helped with some finer work around plants. Nevertheless, I love the locking trigger, simple design, and light weight. So happy to not have to deal with a gas engine. ... show more

    • Works very well for home owner use
Received earlier this week (Oct. 2025). It took two. minutes to assemble. Works perfectly with my Makita 18v batteries. I went with Makita for all of my cordless tools... drills, impact, sander, saws-all, saw, limb trimmer, chainsaw, string trimmer, etc. I haven't got everything, but getting close. The blower itself is light and easy to use. Works well for what I need, which is lawn and leaf maintenance on my 3/4 acre homesite. Please with the purchase. ... show more

    • This tool really blows! LOL
Outstanding. Great power, lightweight to use, long battery life. Different speeds to lightly dust off your work bench or create your own hurricane to clear debris from your driveway, yard, roof, patio, car, etc.

    • Great tool for smaller projects
Works well for smaller-area cleanup (blowing leaves out of garage, cleaning fertilizer granules from driveway, smaller tasks like blowing leaves away from fence and clearing cuttings from walkways.). Is more powerful than expected, however only gives ~20 mins of operation (at full power) per charge. I still have a gas blower which I use for larger projects that will take longer. Weight and size is convenient for working in tighter/smaller areas where a backpack blower would be unwieldy. One con: air intake on back of unit will suck in your clothing, blocking the intake and impeding output. This is easy enough to avoid once you are aware of it, but would be nice if the intake were located elsewhere. Overall very happy with the product and versatility. ... show more

    • Good power. Good run time. Time to ditch your gas blower.
I bought this to replace a larger, heavier, more powerful gas blower and am glad I did. The hassle of adding gas, the pull cord, the weight, winterizing, etc. is just not worth the effort for most typical home owners. Electric and cordless is the way to go. Although it is not as powerful as my gas model, I find it more than capable of blowing leaves, dirt, and assorted debris in my large yard. The battery lasts about 10-15 minutes, but that’s probably longer than you think, because unlike a gas blower, that’s actual use time. Unlike a gas blower, if I’m walking (say from my yard to my front) it is not running till you press the trigger. So for typical use, I may spend 20+ minutes, even though the actual battery run time is 1/2 that. Yes, if you have a large wooded property, and it’s time for bagging all your leaves in the fall, you’re going to need a second battery, but if you get the fast charger and decent sized batteries (3.0 or greater), you should be fine. I have a number of batteries from various Makita products, but have never needed to run the blower so long that I had to swap out for a second battery. As to weight, although it’s lighter than my gas unit, my wife finds it heavy, and I too find the need to switch hands periodically due to the weight. I would recommend the extension tube that adds length, brings the end closer to the ground and fans out at the bottom. Just be aware that with the extension, you may find the unit becomes awkward (too long and too low to the ground) if you are less than about 5’6” height. ... show more
