Slower air velocity, but higher air volume.Very easy to use.
Mavis Macejkovic (verified owner) –
perfect for home use and maybe even more. it hasa removable head so you could put a blade on it that is my plan at some point.
Jonathon Rosenbaum (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.
Rebeka Krajcik (verified owner) –
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.
Bertram Schuster (verified owner) –
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

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!

Great machine. Powerful. Lightweight, quiet. Just what a weed eater should be!
Clare Nienow (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.

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.

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!

So far so good on run time great power and inovative features
Dagmar Kirlin (verified owner) –
I love this weed trimmer! Being divorced, I needed yard care items and my son suggested Makita with batteries that interchange with all equipment…..so glad he did! Easy to use, lightweight, and easy to change cord, too. 5 Stars here!

Incredibly powerful, smooth and not awkwardly balanced. I’ve trimmed the perimeter of my 7000 sq ft backyard once a week for a month and still have 2 bars of battery power! ( two 5.0 ah batteries)

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.

It Blows!!

This blower is great! It work way better than I thought it would.
Margarete Sipes (verified owner) –
The blower was a bit pricey but I’m glad I purchased it. Before I purchased the blower, I searched around on YouTube and found a lady moving gravel around with this blower. I was impressed and Makita has already won me over with their other brushless motor products (drills).I was able to blow out stubborn oak leaves and acorns out of my lawn from the neighbors oak tree. I was able to blow out cob webs from the wheel well of my Chevelle from five feel away.I cut down my post yard work cleanup by more than half the time!

It does not seem to have the power that was advertised. My gas trimmer is rated just about the same as the one I purchase but the gas trimmer has a lot more power and air flow. With all that said it is very handy and easy to use, no smell. It’s still nice to use for the small stuff.
