Had this for over a year and used in for leaves, light snow and grass - Best volume, battery life and weight of those I have had in past. Wish list is the reducer end. Variable speed works well and offers good control of air. Nice balance. used on everything from Leaf, snow, grass, sticks, sawdust, wood chips, dirt and even blow drying the motorcycle.

I bought this about a month ago and have used it nearly everyday to blow off wood shavings and sawdust from my outdoor work area, blow pollen off of patio furniture, and tidy up walkways after mowing. Very quiet for a leaf blower. Good power. Surprisingly good battery life with a 5.0 ah - I can clean my small patio and small driveway and still have all bars on the 5.0 ah battery (not included with this model, came from another tool).

I run this blower and DEWALT's DCBL722. I prefer the Makita blower on account of just how small and light it is.They trade blows in the performance department, with the only real difference being that DEWALT has larger than 6ah batteries available while you're capped at 6ah on Makita's LXT platform. And while the weight proposition suffers with larger batteries, the runtime and power curve improves significantly.Both are perfect jobsite blowers. I wouldn't use either as a dedicated leaf blower for a fall clean-up, but I do routinely move leaves with them. In any case, they beat the pants off a gas handheld that will vibrate your teeth out of your head and deafen you prematurely.The key features of the Makita blower are:Its size and weight.

I love Makita. So far I have their cordless vacuum and now the cordless leaf blower. As soon as I got it out of the box I went outside to blow some leaves around ( : Ok, I've never had a leaf blower before, so maybe I am a tad over excited about this new play thing, but bear with me. I am weak, so it's not super light for me, but I could manage it for the time it took for the battery to run out. Didn't time it but maybe 10 minutes? If that sounds like a short battery life, It moves the debris quickly. I am still perfecting my technique and had to go back over things a bit when I moved some leaves back onto the clean areas. It's got decent power, and I was easily able to blow all the million oak leaves and small sticks off the front porch, sidewalk and the driveway ... MoreI love Makita.

It's got decent power, and I was easily able to blow all the million oak leaves and small sticks off the front porch, sidewalk and the driveway on a single charge. THIS UNIT HAS NO BATTERY, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER MAKITA 18 VOLT KITS/TOOLS AND HAVE THE BATTERY PACK, THEY ARE INTERCHANGEABLE. MAKE SURE YOU GET A BATTERY AND CHARGER IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST MAKITA TOOL. I like that it can handle damp and even wet leaves . No more sweeping the driveway for oak leaves and sticks. No more sweeping the front porch--this is going to replace my outdoor sweeping entirely. Clean up around the spa where lots of small leaves accumulate. Blowing leaves and dirt out of the garage Cleaning up in the greenhouse. Blowing leaves off the decorative rocks And last, but not least--no more raking the magnolia leaves that fall down every day most of the year! The only slight drawback: It eats the battery. I would have to charge it between jobs. But, the battery charger works to get it back in action in about 15 minutes. So, while I can't do the entire outdoors in one go, I could probably do everything in 3 gos. I am actually putting this in the front hall closet to replace the broom I use to sweep the front porch and sidewalk all the time! the next trick will be perfecting my technique to see if I can get the leaves onto a leaf mat and keep them there--since mostly I just want to move them, not collect them, as the lawnmower will mulch them up, but I do use the magnolia leaves for mulch in the garden beds. Totally satisfied with this one. Will probably be tempted to "sweep" the gutters down the entire street tomorrow. You may not love blowing leaves around as much as I do, but if you need a leaf blower, I rate this one highly.
Initial impressions and updates I was a little hesitant when purchasing this blower because I could not find any reviews on this new device. With that said, I took a step of faith and purchased the unit. I thought I would share my initial impressions so those interested in purchasing one of these units would have at least one review to look at. Until today, I was using a Kobalt 40 Volt 2.5 AH blower, so I will use this device when making comparisons. UNPACKING: When unpacking the unit, I noticed that the nozzle doesn’t simply twist on to the body of the blower. The nozzle slides into the body and is secured by two screws located on the top and bottom of the body. I think this is a nice feature and provides a much more secure attachment than simply inserting the ... MoreInitial impressions and updates I was a little hesitant when purchasing this blower because I could not find any reviews on this new device. With that said, I took a step of faith and purchased the unit. I thought I would share my initial impressions so those interested in purchasing one of these units would have at least one review to look at. Until today, I was using a Kobalt 40 Volt 2.5 AH blower, so I will use this device when making comparisons. UNPACKING: When unpacking the unit, I noticed that the nozzle doesn’t simply twist on to the body of the blower. The nozzle slides into the body and is secured by two screws located on the top and bottom of the body. I think this is a nice feature and provides a much more secure attachment than simply inserting the nozzle and turning to lock. The specs say the unit weighs 6.5 lbs. and is 32.5 inches long. Compared to my Kobalt, it seems shorter and lighter. HANDLING: The first thing I noticed, after the unit was assembled (by attaching the nozzle), is the balance of the unit. If I place my finger under the handle (near the trigger) and allow the unit to hang from this position, the unit is balanced and hangs horizontal to the ground....nice touch Makita. I like the rubber grip around the handle. Unlike a hard plastic grip, this rubber grip allows me to grip the handle easily, and it feels comfortable in my hand. The trigger is very sensitive, allowing the airflow to be managed easily. At first glance, the nozzle seems very large. Unlike my Kobalt that narrows at the end to increase MPH, this nozzle purposely does not restrict the air flow. PERFORMANCE: The unrestricted nozzle flow creates a larger “footprint” where the air hits the ground. In the case of blowing leaves, this results in many more leaves being moved by the air flow. This unit is noticeably more powerful than my Kobalt. It seems to be about the same loudness, but the pitch is lower and slightly more tolerable. One reason why I bought this unit is because I have several Makita LXT 18v. tools at home. I bought the “tool only” blower and plan to use my existing batteries. One BIG strength of the Makita LXT series is the battery charger. Makita claims that their charger is faster than its competitors. My Makita charger, with a 3 Ah battery, charges the fully drained battery in approximately 30 minutes. For first time Makita buyers, this blower also comes in a kit that provides the blower, a charger, and a 4 Ah battery. UPDATE1: I have now had a couple days to use the blower (cleaning out gutters, blowing off driveway, and collecting leaves in the backyard). My three year old 3Ah battery lasts a full 10 minutes when trigger continually held down (10-15 minutes when moving about the yard, stopping and starting the blower). I now understand why they put a 4Ah battery in the blower kit. I'm glad I had already decided to buy 5Ah battery prior to using it the last couple of days. UPDATE2: I have now been using my blower for a few weeks with my 5Ah battery. I continue to be impressed by the performance of the blower. I can now understand why Makita decided to initially have a two 18v battery model (with roughly the same output), because the motor does drain my single 18v 5Ah battery in about 15 minutes of constant use. The reasons why I would still buy the blower? 1) performance. 2) I don't use the blower for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time. 3) The Makita charger works quickly in recharging the battery. Last update: I have now on the blower for 10 months. Until last month, it operated flawlessly. Then the trigger stopped working:-( I took it to the authorized Makita repair shop in town and it took approximately two months for them to get the parts from Makita and get it repaired. The good news is there was no cost to me. The Makita repair technician said that this was the first blower like this he has seen come into his shop.... I guess it's better for me to have a breakdown then another person. I still think this is a very good blower for the money, and I have not regretted my purchase. I hope my initial impressions and updates prove helpful. I think this blower (with you own charger and battery) or the blower kit is still a great choice. God bless!!!
I’m not a real handy guy. I work too much during the week and only up to a point enjoy yard work. With two mature oaks on my lot blowing is pretty much a weekly deal through the year. I started with a corded electric device – after a while schlepping around the extension cord (if you could find it) was just a roadblock to using it. I then picked up a largely unused Homelite blower at a garage sale (another smokin’ deal). It worked really well, started up usually, only a little finnicky. So life was better, as long as you had fuel. Until it went south after a few years. Having picked up a couple battery operated Makita tools to build a deck (that almost killed me) I had their batteries at the ready. I had picked up their car vac – so nice to have that handy in the ... MoreI’m not a real handy guy. I work too much during the week and only up to a point enjoy yard work. With two mature oaks on my lot blowing is pretty much a weekly deal through the year. I started with a corded electric device – after a while schlepping around the extension cord (if you could find it) was just a roadblock to using it. I then picked up a largely unused Homelite blower at a garage sale (another smokin’ deal). It worked really well, started up usually, only a little finnicky. So life was better, as long as you had fuel. Until it went south after a few years. Having picked up a couple battery operated Makita tools to build a deck (that almost killed me) I had their batteries at the ready. I had picked up their car vac – so nice to have that handy in the trunk. And then figured, Makita is a good build, I’ve got the batteries, it’s a few bucks more. Buy quality. Do it. Life changing. Freaking life changing. Simply opened the box, slapped in the battery and stepped out on the deck. Damn! The thing has kick! Laughed my butt off… Immediately wanted to quit my day job and go blow yards for a living. Then my wife reminded me of the mortgage payment…. Still working real estate sales. But, kid you not, I look forward to pulling that little sucker (blower) out and giving it a spin. Btw, on the battery question… I’m running 2 Amp batteries – I think the smallest size. Somewhere in the mass of writing about the tool it is said that the device runs for 12 minutes with a 5 Amp battery. . . I did the math and thought, “Uh oh, that gives me 3 minutes tops.” Then I pulled the trigger… it takes me under a minute of use to clear the 700 foot deck. And if that doesn’t make you smile… well, hire someone. I get the garage and driveway done in about a minute; all in I get about 2 complete blows on a charge. Happy to have saved $45 to God-knows-how-much on a bigger battery… The 2 amp charges quickly, with a backup, I certainly didn’t need more. BtBtw, the other reason it doesn’t kill the batter fast as I thought: The sucker is efficient. The gas powered Homelite was rated at something like 165 mph – more than this Makita… Turns out “cubic feet per minute” is important too… And then some guy writes about the combination of CFM and MPH and it’s called Newtons and I’m thinking, “I’ll get back to you on that.” And then I was thinking, “Where’s there a physicist when you need one?” I took a leap of faith at getting this higher CFM device. Sooooo glad I did… Hey Makita! How about free battery? . . . Never mind, I don’t need it!
I bought this blower in a kit. The blower is light and powerful. I use the 5.0Ah battery and it last the entire time that I use it. The only negative thing about this blower is that I needed to purchase the blower extension and nozzle separately. I recommend getting both attachments. I would have payed more for this unit knowing that the attachments were included.
Super straightforward operation: trigger to instantaneously change blower speed, or cruise control lever (connected to trigger) to set a constant speed.No issues at all moving material on dry surfaces (leaves, grass clippings, dirt). On wet grass and leaves it still has enough power to displace yard debris, but with just one 5 A-h battery it'll stop blowing hard after about thirteen minutes of constant use.My property is about 100' in width, with a 22' wide driveway that's about 40' long. I can clean the entire driveway, the sidewalk running across my property, and the street along my property at about 70% "throttle" and run a 5 A-h battery about halfway. At this price, given the low weight, and because I don't have to drag cords around, this is a terrific ... MoreSuper straightforward operation: trigger to instantaneously change blower speed, or cruise control lever (connected to trigger) to set a constant speed.No issues at all moving material on dry surfaces (leaves, grass clippings, dirt).

Only buy Mikita! I have many tools and some are more expensive and maybe some are not the most powerful in its class. I buy them because they are high quality and run for decades I have OEM batteries that have lasted over 10 years! I have had smoke come out of my big heavy digit drill over working it and let it cool down and keep keep on going with no problems! I run my tools weekly and use they frequently and I will buy more cordless Mikita tools in 2023
I bought this to blow out my gutters (I have windows that open above the gutters to I always use my leaf blower to do this), but I got it right before a snow fall so I tried it as a snow blower and I love that it is cordless. Very light weight and easy to tote around. I blew off about an inch of powdery snow in no time. I think I am going to love this for leaves too, not missing my corded leaf blower one bit. I already had the Makita mower and weed eater, so it made sense to get the same system and use my existing batteries.
