Another great tool from Makita. I have never had a bad tool from Makita in over 30 years.

Superstrong blower

Exceeded my expectations. Easily cut 14″ limbs and had long battery life. Not as rugged as a gas saw, but no gas to mix or hard starts! Just take care to check chain slack frequently, and adjust as needed.

Very handy and has great trigger control. I’m very happy with he purchase, after being hesitant to spent that kind of money. Expensive, but the quality is there and I’m very satisfied with the blower.

Just as powerful or more than any corded or gas blower. Much more convenient. Batteries last long enough for any homeowner and most landscapers.

When my gas powered leaf blower’s engine froze, i saw the Makita. Excellent power. Not your typical battery operated tool. The 36v two battery system is light and moves a lot of air. I have most of the Makita family of tools and this is another great fit.

I looked and looked at cordless blowers, but many did not have enough power. I love this blower. Its works like a charm and I am so happy to no longer have to drag a corded blower around the yard. It is not as powerful as a corded blower but it does just fine. Big money but I feel it was money well spent

Would give it 5 stars but when it is on full power, it drains the battery really quickly. This is to be expected, I guess but we will see how it handles the leaves this fall and even light snow come this winter.

The new Makita battery powered Blower is a fine machine for your yard maintenance needs. This Blower does not come with the 2 batteries and the charger, they are sold separately. Included with the Blower is an adjustable plastic twist on tube for focusing the output air. You can move a lot of debris with this one. The batteries slide on and click underneath the unit. I was able to get about an hour of use before recharging. You’ll need to purchase the 18v LXT batteries separately. Overall, this blower is a great addition to my garage tools and really does the job well. I keep my driveway and sidewalks free of clippings after I mow the yard. I’ll even use this to get my outdoor fire pit roaring this coming winter.
