This blower is great! It work way better than I thought it would.

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

Light weight and more than sufficient capability for any type and condition of your Fall . Battery duration and recharging speeds is very good too.

Nice

Plenty of power and long lasting battery life..little expensive, but we’ll worth it.

Works very well and it is very powerful. It is really convenient because it’s instant on with no cranking, gas, and smoke. It does go through batteries quickly so you will need to buy the larger batteries.

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

Whoa this thing blows. Probably the most powerful blower ever. It is also way quieter than any blower around. And whoa does it eat batteries. This blower on 6 (I have no idea why they used 6 as fastest, come on Makita, this thing deserves an 11) will blow stones around – pretty darn big ones. Leaves are child’s play. Wet compacted leaves, still super easy. The balance in great in hand. It isn’t too heavy. Noise level is fantastic. Probably still a good idea to wear ear protection.The one downside to this puppy – battery eating. I have three sets of two batteries. It is possible to use the blower continuously with two double chargers working. If you only have two sets or a single set, you’ll have to find something else to do while the batteries charge. I’m guessing this gets about 20-30 minutes of blow time. A lot of jobs can be blown in that time. But if you have a really big job, get three sets of batteries. Even though it eats batteries like no tomorrow, I love this thing. I can finally blow all the sand out of my garage. Get all those corners completely clean. And can use it to dry my car (it is a nearly ideal blower for car drying). Not to mention it does a great job on leaves.

Really easy to assemble. You will want bigger batteries esp if using the high setting.

The Makita cordless blower is very light and easy to operate. The assembly and operation are very straight forward. It has 6 speed adjustments, and can be adjusted while in use. It does not come with batteries and charger. I would recommend the Makita cordless blower.

very impressive,powerful and quiet,then I discovered I didnt even have it on its highest setting
Jose Hammes (verified owner) –
Wow! I was duly impressed with this blower! It is quieter than gas powered blowers, yet it is efficient and lightweight at just about 10lbs. Moves a good amount of air and is sufficient for small yards. Battery life was adequate. No complaints.

Was able to pick up the kit with 4 batteries and I’ve got to say, this thing is great!Ive got an old Craftman corded, and Echo gas powered. The Echo is great, but fuel, storage, maintenance, and weight make it a little bit of a hassle. The Craftsmen, I use for vacum, and the cord is a PITA and it doesnt have a lot of power. The Makita X2 is fantastic. Just drop in batteries and you’re set. Its light, and has plenty of power. I use on average for 15 minutes straight when doing yard work, and batteries are over 1/2 charged in the end.I can see how professional landscapers may not care for the battery life, but for home owners, this thing is amazing!

Tons of power, variable speed motor is nice, fairly quiet and no cords or gas is great. Would recommend 5AH batteries I have 3AH and they dont last very long.

I got this for my right hand man since he carries a lot of Makita tools and batteries. Great power for leaves and clearing snow off of trucks. I have more Milwaukee tools than I can count. Unfortunately this Makita blower outperformed my Milwaukee Fuel. I recommend 5.0Ah batteries.
Rhianna Schultz (verified owner) –
Excellent product, no electrical cord to deal with or having to mix gas and oil and keeping up with maintenance on an engine. Pending on size of yard/property you may want to invest in extra batteries.

This blower is perfect for my 1/2 acre lot. My blower will last about 20 minutes using 2 5.0Ah batteries on setting 3. I have another set of 4.0Ah batteries and between the two sets, I can easily blow my front yard. The blower has a good adjustment dial. It has a high volume output that can really move leaves. It is far better than an older corded one I have that has high velocity but lower volume air movement. I am pleased with this tool. I have several Makita tools on the 18v platform and really find them to be well-built, reliable, lightweight, and powerful.

After cutting grass at my parents house all day and then having to hand sweep the long driveway and parking area on top of everthing else was a bit much. Upon purchasing the 36 volt Makita leaf blower my beautiful wife insisted on trying it out first and I have not seen it since . Great product!

This tool blows really hard. On the highest setting 6 it is pretty vicious. I have 2 5maH batteries and I was able to clean the front of 6 houses 20×20 sidewalks in 10 minutes. I would have kept on cleaning the rest of the block but what have those neighbors done for me lately… right nothing. So I recommend this unit. Great build quality , powerful , no complaints at all. Makita does have great tools over all I am slowly swapping out my collection of Bosch cordless the Makita are much better.
