Makita 18V LXT Brushless Blower/Vacuum Mulcher vs Worx WG583 Nitro 40V Leaf Blower/Vacuum

The Worx WG583 is the stronger pick for most yards. It moves far more air (340 CFM and 210 MPH versus 148 CFM and 143 MPH), mulches at 12:1, and ships as a complete kit with batteries and charger. The Makita XBU07Z is quieter at 62 dB(A), lighter at 7.4 lbs, and its suction is gentle enough to clean beds without disturbing stone. Owners of both praise the power and easy handling; Makita buyers warn it drains batteries fast, and the Makita is a bare tool, so budget for LXT batteries you may already own.

• Choose the Makita XBU07Z if you already own 18V LXT batteries, want a quiet machine for light cleanup around plant beds, and value low weight over raw air power.
• Choose the Worx WG583 if you want the most blowing and vacuuming power, a complete ready-to-run kit, and a bigger mulch ratio for heavy fall leaf cleanup.
