The 18-Volt X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36-Volt) Cordless Blower (XBU01PT) is powered by two 18-Volt LXT batteries, so users get 36-Volt power and run time for corded and gas-powered demands, without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform. Model XBU01PT is a kit and includes two fast-charging 18-Volt LXT 5.0Ah batteries and an 18-Volt Dual Port Charger that will charge two batteries simultaneously for increased productivity and less downtime. 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 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. The XBU01PT has a variable 2-speed motor (0-10,000, 0-17,000 RPM) for optimum speed control and a maximum air velocity of 208 MPH with up to 30 minutes of continuous run time on a single charge. Added benefits include lower noise at only 86 dB(A) and zero emissions, making it ideal for applications in residential areas. The XBU01PT requires none of the maintenance associated with comparable gas-powered blowers: simply insert two charged 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries and the tool is ready for work.

It’s great
Gina McClure (verified owner) –
Very pleased. Has plenty of power for me. Battery life is good so far. I don’t have a lot of area but the leases are fixin to fall so we really see how it preforms.
Hayley Walker (verified owner) –
Was not as powerful as I thought it would be. Gets the job done.. eventually. Battery life is not great. I can just get the driveway done and the batteries die.. not enough juice for the front or back porch after. But the product does in fact work. Just not like I hoped
Meredith Nicolas (verified owner) –
I like the size and weight of this unit. Also like that it has two speeds. As I expected, it’s a little less powerful than hoped. After about 12 to 14 minutes of continuous use it starts ramping down output.It’s great for small jobs and love that it’s “cord free”.
Garth Zieme (verified owner) –
Powerful and quiet blower. Batteries last about 30 minutes, which is just enough time for me. I keep the batteries always charged and ready for the next use.
Cesar Quigley (verified owner) –
Great blower for smaller projects. I use this to blow out my gutters and have had no problem doing so. I would recommend the blower.
Erika Gutmann (verified owner) –
Very easy to assemble, bought it my wife and she loves it!
Margret Kulas (verified owner) –
Perfect for a home owner. Its very powerful. Once I put the nossle on, I couldn’t take it off. ohh well.

This is a light weight blower with strong power velocity. Know that when purchased without the batteries or charger there will be an additional cost of approximately $250.00 to activate and keep the blower charged and working. This additional expense is associated for two batteries and a charging unit.The blower works as described and is easy to use.
Elda Bradtke (verified owner) –
I bought this blower for my wife because she loved using my other smaller Makita blower. It’s powerful, convenient, and long lasting. I also spray painted it metallic purple because she didn’t want a light blue, orange, yellow, or red blower. Lol. It’s the little things sometimes.

The blower itself seems good I am tired of Home Depot sending me open box/used items as new and charging me full price. This is the second item in the last 3 months. The first was a pressure washer that had been used and now this.
Foster Hahn (verified owner) –
Battery lasts a really long time! Easy for my small hands to take the batteries on and off. Lightweight.
Jessyca Hirthe (verified owner) –
This leaf blower works as advertised, but I don’t think that it is more powerful than my corded blower. Also, having to use 2 batteries makes it much heavier. Glad that it comes with a shoulder strap; this helps to alleviate the weight.
Norma Block (verified owner) –
I like the air velocity, but I don’t like the high or low only option. I like the variable speed trigger on all the other units.
Tyreek Bernier (verified owner) –
Powerful, light weight blower. No need for fuel or a pull cord.
Jamaal Gutmann (verified owner) –
Portability makes it easy to pick up anytime and clean up. We tend to clean a lot more often since we don’t need the electric cords!
Andreanne Gottlieb (verified owner) –
I have several 18 volt Makita tools and had much higher expectations for this blower, unfortunately I’m not at all satisfied with run time or power output so I will just use it on light jobs. I had to get a jet corded blower for the serious stuff in the yard and go back to dragging a cord around.
Ellsworth Veum (verified owner) –
Blower appears to be well built and is easy to use. I like the quick charge, two speed feature and light weight. We have only used once, but expect it to be another quality tool from Makita.
Mavis Thompson (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a couple of different battery-powered blowers, but this one takes the cake. It has a good combination of air speed and volume. The only battery-powered blower I’ve tried that can actually move wet leaves. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it, you get what you pay for here.
Florine Gulgowski (verified owner) –
The blower is light easy to use, the only thing it is designed for certain applications. You have smooth surfaces and not too big area lightweight contaminants it will do perfect job. I’m using it to swipe my 53′ dry van box and it works great, I’m not sure if it will do a back yard though. Good rig for proper application.
