The new 5.0 batteries have excellent run time with my Makita tools.

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.

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.

Nice product. Could be a bit more powerful with thicker blades, but for a cordless trimmer, it does what I need it to do.

I bought the charger and batteries to power a makita cut-out saw and portable vacuum for drywall demo. The combination is a dream come true. Dustless drywall removal ! The batteries provided long enough run-time that I could change batteries and continue working while the other charged. Being able to charge two at one time was great because the vacuum runs on 18v also.

Great dual port charger came with two Makita18-Volt 5.0Ah LXT Lithium-Ion Battery. Which will give you about 2×40 minutes worktime so you get an hour and half working with both batteries

Slower air velocity, but higher air volume.Very easy to use.
Olin Harvey (verified owner) –
Works great like all Makita tools. Lasts about 35 minutes on high and much longer at lower speeds. I have oak trees and a pool and threw my rake away. Makita rocks!!

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.

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

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.

Bought this for my husband and he loves it! Makes quick work of hedge trimming and the adjustable-handle is a great feature! We are big Mikita tool fans!

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!
