The batteries were easy to unpack and hook up to the charging station. The fan is a nice touch to help prevent overheating.

Nice blower. The air intake can get blocked by user. It can be awkward to maintain holding it out and away from your body for long periods of time.

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.

Wish I would have know before I bough the 36 volt saw. Came with these. Works great though

This moves a lot of air, a lot more then my Makita gas blower. I like my gas blower but its getting old. I bought the cordless blower to do some of the work my gas blower was doing, I use the gas blower year around. I’ve had the cordless blower a couple of months. I have two sets of batteries, if you use this a lot you need extra batteries.

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!

Used this blower to clean leaves off of my late wife’s gravesite. Worked perfectly; could not ask for better. Highly recommend this tool.

So far a great cordless leaf blower, love it.

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.

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.
