Makita 18V Blower - DUB186Z

Makita quality. Runs on Makita 18V batteries which I already have from other high quality Makita cordless tools. Small but powerful blower suitable for blowing dust off machinery, cleaning up workshop etc. Not for leaf blowing.

Blow your socks off

This blower was bought for the purpose of blowing the dust and debri off our fibre glass flat roof on our self build extension, and boy what a good purchase it worked a treat but then afterwards it can be used for other cleaning jobs around the house, such as blowing grass after you cut the lawn also tree leaves later on in the year so yes well happy.

Great addition to your Makita Cordless kit

I purchased this primarily to blow water out of the car wheels and seals when washing it which helps keep water marks down. its also useful for blowing the garage floors and pathways after cutting the grass but much more than that and it wont handle it. Good for cleaning the dust out of the back of the van too. Variable (3) speed is good although I can imagine most people will use the highest speed (#3)

Lightweight and good power

I wanted a blower that wasn't heavy but had some power. This was a good choice. The battery makes it a little heavy. But far better than a cable. It did struggle with wet leaves. But I expected this. The seller posted it very quickly.

Makita DUB186Z 18v LXT Cordless Blower Body Only

Lightweight, compact size, just pick up and blow. Great for clearing behind pots and containers that a brush cant reach without moving pots, used to blow out rubbish from garage and even clear away old cobwebs from sheds. Not quite powerful enough for blowing wet leaves off grass but not what I wanted it for. Very happy! even my petite wife has used it so bonus!

Portable, powerful and lightweight

It is only day one....but I used this little helper for many hours after I bought it home. I did have the two fully charged batteries ready to go (from our drill kit). So easy to use. Can target a specific spot and pulse to blast out debris, cobwebs, grass clippings. We enjoy a lot of airflow because of our position high off the street but our property also gets blanketed with blown in grit, coaldust (train line) and trash from a nearly park, so this will make getting on top of it easy.

Returned for a refund

Lasts about 5 minutes with a fully charged 18V Makita battery. Performance is average, with the tip being at an odd angle. Has a design flaw where if you are right handed and hold it near your hip, the intake sucks up your clothing. I bought this as an upgrade, but will be returning it and going back to my old cheaper brand one.

Surprisingly powerful

I didn't expect much from this product to be honest, I brought it for my now very much clocking on in years mom who can't hold a big heavy leaf blower but she wanted something light so that she could blow the leaves from around her beloved plants !! I wasn't expecting much but it far surpassed my expectations, not only will it clear a few leaves from around the plants but will clear her driveway without any problems whatsoever. Just a shame that the battery's are so expensive! But having said that it's a much better quality product than other makes I looked at.

Tiny yet powerful

This thing is literally the lengh of my elbow to the fingertips. I wish the rubber nozzle had a little more positive engagement.Its powerful yet tiny which makes it very handy. Variable speed trigger is awesome.

Underwhelming

Used this around the house and was really underwhelmed. It might blow 350 kms/hr but the nozzle is so small it performs far less impressive than I expected. Fine for smaller leaves and debris, but struggles to move litter like frangipani leaves. Trying to nudge hard to move leaves caught between pavers or decking is useless due to the rubber nozzle; I ended up repeatedly having to move stubborn leaves with my hands. The motor really sucks the juice out of the battery, unlike my Makita drill which goes on forever with the same batteries. This is clearly a blower designed for very small jobs/areas. I will take it camping, but that’s about all it is good for. Disappointed.
