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.

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.

I have used it and couldn’t be happier. You get the tool, battery charger, and 4 (four) 5.0 lithium-ion batteries for $329. If you find a better deal, please let me know.

Only used it one time. On low setting it blow leaves out of bark planters and not the bark.On high setting its so powerful it will blow 1.5″ river rock out of planters. More power than my Stihl BG55 that died!!

The blower is nice. But the cheaper model packs just as much power and it only needs one battery for the same amount of blow time.

Great for cleaning off a combine.

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.

Excellent tool and a very good price

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.
Beth Witting (verified owner) –
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.
Jasmin Miller (verified owner) –
Excellent product! It is important to have 4 batteries though as a battery change is necessary to do an average yard. I am very happy with this purchase.
Coty Rohan (verified owner) –
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

This Makita leaf blower is a beast. It has a number wheel from 1 to 6, I use it set at 2-3 most of the time which is more than adequate and saves battery time. If you are considering a leaf blower you will not be disappointed. No gas, oil, or mechanical adjustment. I think anyone will be pleased with this blower.

Have owned several blowers gas Electric, this blower outperforms everything I’ve owned in the past. Also if you have any other Makita products such as drill saws batteries are interchangeable
