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. Model XBU02PT1 is a kit and includes the Blower, 4 fast-charging 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0 Ah batteries and an efficient 18-Volt Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. 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 5.0 Ah batteries, the efficient brushless motor delivers up to 28-minutes of run-time on dial setting #3 on a single charge.

Why they give two extra batteries free because the blower only last about 5 minutes. This is very sad! If I knew this I would of never purchased this blower.

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.

I was very excited to get this but the power isn’t great and I had to use two sets of batteries to blow leaves for 30 minutes. If you need a battery operated blower for a patio…great, otherwise look elsewhere.

Excellent tool, rakes are prehistoric now.

Excellent blower, plenty of speed to move leaves from fence line. I recommend the 4 batteries, so you always have 2 charged and ready to go. Quick charge also.

Great product. Powerful, lightweight. Only issue I have is length of battery power. If you need to use at full power, batteries (with a back up fully charged ready to go ) only lasts about a half hour. Other than that it’s a pretty awesome product.

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!

This is an awesome tool!I’m using this everyday when I work & at home. Makes thing easier.
Al Powlowski (verified owner) –
When batteries weigh half as much and last twice as long per charge, I’ll give 6 stars.
Kattie Schoen (verified owner) –
Light weight and more than sufficient capability for any type and condition of your Fall . Battery duration and recharging speeds is very good too.

Bought for my auto repair shop, perfect for blowing out bays, parking lot, and drying off wet cars on rainy days. Impressive for an electric blower.

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 .

This hurricane does exactly what I need it too! Highly recommended to others. Thanks Makita and Home Depot.

Great product! Very powerful and nice having the extra batteries
Damion Auer (verified owner) –
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.

Our son-in-law was thrilled with it!! He can’t wait to use it!!
Julianne Klocko (verified owner) –
This thing is awesome! Lightweight and powerful. Loved the fact that it came with dual charger and 4 batteries. Its life changing!!!

Magic in a box. This blower is a vast upgrade to a gas powered one. Strong, lightweight, awesome
Berniece Bergstrom (verified owner) –
Plenty of power and operating time. Batteries recharge fast. The weight is well balanced. The power dial and trigger pull sensitivity allows for great control. It’s a very well designed tool. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Battery powered tools have come so far. Having a background in commercial landscape maintenance, I never thought I’d say this but it’s nice having this kind of power without having to store gas or even pull a string. This tool is VERY NICE
