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

The batteries are great and last much longer. Although it is supposed to be compatible with all “Star” Makita tools, the batteries do not easily slide into the reciprocating saw base. They fit easily on my drill and impact gun. Just wish they would slide into reciprocating saw just as easily.

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.

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

I had several concerns when buying this. The power, battery life and weight (arthritic shoulders). I have to admit it passed all three with flying colors. I purchased the Makita trimmer without batteries because I already had several Makita hand tools which use the same battery. I paid over $400 last year for someone to trim my hedges. By buying the trimmer, I figured I could save some money and the trimmer would pay for itself many times over.The trimmer cut through all but the largest (maybe 3/4 in) branches. It cut larger branches than I had expected. I typically use it for about 1 1/2 hours at the time and the batteries still showe 4 bars (max) and no signs of slowing down. I got the 30 in bar because I have some wide hedges and reaching out too far puts a strain on my shoulders. When I saw and opened the box, it seemed huge, but when using it, it was easy to handle and not too heavy. I am glad I got the 30 in. The rotating handle makes it easier when trimming the sides.The trimmer exceeded my expectations in all areas.

Works great! Charges two batteries in the time my old charger did one. The USB port is a nice touch.

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.

Works well and has lots of power. DOES NOT DRAIN THE BATTERY

Have not used in the tool yet to rate battery charge span.

Another great tool from Makita. I have never had a bad tool from Makita in over 30 years.
Lane Hartmann (verified owner) –
Works great. The battery charge is better than I expected.

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.
