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 two 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.

Got this to replace old corded blower. Does the same work in half the time and weighs so much less. Not sure about large application use but imagine it would hold up. I also got to reach more areas with less hassle due to the battery vs corded. Finished blowing out my back yard within 10 minutes when it usually took 30

I liked it a lot because it has a lot of strength and it doesn’t make much noise I don’t have to be smelling that smell of smoke

Works great with very strong wind , even better than my gas models. Only draw back is on full power it lasts about 18-20 minutes but with 2 sets of batteries is able to complete most tasks as the stronger blower also makes the task go faster

Best thing to happen to me since I had my kids! We use this daily in our yard which has a ton of trees. It is very powerful and I can blow my entire yard with one charge. I love that I have the back up batteries and charger so that I can work uninterrupted. My mom (who is 80) also has this and says it a little bit heavy for her, but I don’t have a problem with the weight. I highly recommend this blower.

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.

This Makita 18-volt LXT system and blower have exceeded all my expectations. I was so impressed by the quality and performance of everything that I have started purchasing additional Makita 18v LXT tools to replace (very) old plug in items. I’m also glad Home Depot sells this line. Now if my spouse doesn’t read this review I’ll be in good shape to replace everything by next summer. JPS, Lincoln, CA.
