Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE that includes the 18-Volt X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36-Volt) Brushless Blower. With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18-Volt X2 (36-Volt) Cordless Blower is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. Its powered by (2) 18-Volt LXT batteries for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the 18-Volt battery platform. With the efficient Makita BL brushless motor, the blower delivers longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. 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. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. When powered by two 18-Volt 5.0Ah batteries, the efficient brushless motor delivers up to 28-minutes of run-time on dial setting 3 on a single charge. The XBU02PT 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.

Love this little blower. Bought after I got tired of fixing and old two cycle blower. Plenty of power and came with a total of four batteries and a double bank charger. I only need two on a single charge for my front and back yards.

Awesome blower, not much of a commitment compared to strapping on the gas blow, just for a quick tidy up. I like using it inside the house for toy clean up.

Blower works Great ! Great value with the 4 5.0 Ah Batteries . It’s a little heavy with the 2 batteries , but that was to be expected . I am very happy with my purchase .

Just what he wanted. Loads of power.

Works great! The speed control dial allows you to ‘dial down’ blower speed for much finer control of the air output. It also conserves battery life when you don’t need full power. The unit is a little pricey, but actually a great value/saves money when you figure in the extra 2 batteries it comes with…and if you already have a Makita 18v tool, those batteries will work with it as well. I have a bigger than average driveway and sidewalk, and get 2 usages out of 1 set of batteries before I have to swap them out.

Excellent tool and a very good price

Very lightweight and ease of use is outstanding. Just charge batteries and off you go. Nice that they included a second set to have when needed for those long sessions around the property. While using 2 u charge the other 2 and repeat. Very strong around the perimeter of the home and driveway and areas where grass doesn’t grow. Have to be sure that one doesn’t blow mulch out of ur beds lol. Highly recommended.

My blowing needs are rather modest so this has plenty of runtime for me. It is fairly heavy with 2 batteries and all so I recommend the optional strap, and the discharge tube plastic seems thin and flimsy to me.

This thing is awesome! Lightweight and powerful. Loved the fact that it came with dual charger and 4 batteries. Its life changing!!!

Work great – the adjustable power dial is so much better than trying to throttle power with trigger. The only complaint is that I think I received a previously open box without being told that is what I would be getting. The extra batteries came in a ziplok bag. The unit itself was not wrapped in plastic. And the product registration and warranty card were missing inside. Make sure you check this when you get yours.

Mikita has always been a favorite brand of my dads. This does not disappoint and the extra batteries help to keep going. Its very strong and has 6 settings.

This is working great I have a lot of leaves and have been very helped by this tool. Thankful for the four batteries but I will say on the highest rating you will be waiting on battery still but it’s not a bad forced break either. If you’re not mechanical or you just don’t wanna deal with gas this is the one to get!
