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.

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.
Alexane Reichel (verified owner) –
When batteries weigh half as much and last twice as long per charge, I’ll give 6 stars.

This is a very good and powerful blower. If yo use it while on highest setting, it will last about 20 minutes. It will do a good job even on lower setting as well and the batteries will last a little longer. I use it and recommend it.

This blower was just what I needed to clear my yard of leaves. I think it paid for itself this season. It cleared wet leaves without trouble. I am very happy with the blowers performance.

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 .

Good concentrated air flow in addition to the blower!

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.

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.

Excellent tool, rakes are prehistoric now.
Tyreek Huels (verified owner) –
The best part was the batteries are interchangeable with my Drills very smooth easy to operate and it’s fairly light in weight.

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.
