Makita XBU02PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Blower Kit with 4 Batteries (5.0Ah)

Outstanding product a must for all farm houses

Very pleased with this Makita Blower Kit. Quality workmanship and easy to use product. Product performed as expected. The extra pair of 5.0Ah batteries are a great bonus, especially for the and item like this that requires a pair of 18V batteries to operate. PRO's: - Powerful blower with a wide range of air velocity settings (1-6) - Nice balance of the of the blower when the batteries are attached - Came with quick charge dual charger and 4 x 5.0Ah 18V batteries - Comes with one extension pipe with a round outlet - Both the blower and the individual batteries have power indicators showing state of battery charge - Blower compatible with all my other Makita 18V batteries, but the larger Ah batteries are more suitable for this blower due to it's power consumption. CON's: - If using the blower for extended periods, especially on the higher settings, it can get a little heavy. But to be clear I was aware of this when purchasing the product - it did not come as a surprise. Overall, very pleased with the product since purchasing it nine months ago.

Depending on the application, this blower works great. Not a snow blower, so doesn't work well to clear anything other then a light, fresh skiff of a sidewalk. But does work well to blow snow of a car, leaves off a driveway/patio, shingle debris off a roof, etc. The batteries don't last too long at full throttle, but the charger is fast and does two at once. Glad I bought it; I needed the batteries for other tools, and the blower didn't add that much cost. The only negative is that the intake is easy to plug with a loose jacket since it is at the end that faces you - pretty minor, I still like it!

I cannot tell you how happy I have been with this blower. It is absolutely powerful! It is just as good as anything that requires a plug. Its extremely well balanced But it is on the tad heavy side. But what that means to me is it’s built extremely well and it is! This thing is built just as well as any Makita tool you’ve ever used! It came with four batteries and a fast charger. The batteries charge in about 45 minutes. And when using the blower in a combination of lower speeds and full out high speed I was able to get a solid 25 minutes of usage per set of batteries. And that is fantastic to me! But one of the biggest values of the set is if you already have Makita tools. You can use these batteries with anything that you have Makita! Absolute amazing deal it’s a must if your invested in Makita!

I love my Makita blower and have been using it not just for leaves and debris but also light snow. When the snow is only an inch and dry, it makes short work of clearing a deck or driveway, with cleaner results than a shovel. Let’s me stay on top of keeping the driveway clear (till the big snowfalls come, anyways). Works great. Batteries last well. Strong design. I’ve used it far more than I expected. Would buy again.

Coming from an electric wired blower, this is just great. No more tangled wires and so convenient to use when ever you feel like it. The fact that you do not have to pull the cord out, battery powered remember, and untangle it when you want to use it is an absolute bonus. I picked it because reviews claimed a perfect in hand balance and it is true. The two batteries last long enough to do a good job of my back and front yard, the extra 2 will come in handy in the spring and autumn with bigger cleaning jobs.
