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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

As advertised. Waiting to see if the 5.0 hour batteries perform the same as all my others.

Our son-in-law was thrilled with it!! He can’t wait to use it!!

This rivals the new Echo mixed gas blower I’ve been using, but so much quieter. With a couple of charges batteries I’m able to clean my whole 1/4 acre property. It exceeded my expectations s in every way, great purchase.

The blower works great

Love this, should have purchased this long ago. Very strong blowing. Like the adjustable feature of how strongly it blows. Quick recharging is nice. Put a homemade strap on it.
Jared Towne (verified owner) –
They got it here quick
Roberta Spencer (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.

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.
Jo Bogisich (verified owner) –
Works well but not quite as powerful as the gas powered blowers like Echo and Stihl. But much more convenient and less hassle. I actually bought two because of the deal Makita had on four 5.0 Ah batteries and a charger.

Good battery time. Well balance.
