About the Makita 18V LXT Brushless Blower/Vacuum Mulcher XBU07Z

With lower noise and zero emissions, the 18V LXT Brushless Blower / Vacuum Mulcher Kit (XBU07Z, Tool Only) is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. The commercial design allows the blower to tackle demanding applications, comparable to gas blowers. The Brushless Blower / Vacuum Mulcher easily converts from blower to vacuum and mulcher. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers speeds up to 143 MPH and up to 148 CFM. The brushless motor delivers up to 215 CFM and 13" water lift of suction power. Makita's efficient Brushless Motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. Makita's Brushless Motors run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The Brushless Blower / Vacuum Mulcher features a cruise control lever providing management of power and run time. The power switch can be locked-on for continuous operation. It features a durable metal impeller shredding blade that cuts leaves into fine mulch. The XBU07Z features a sound pressure rating of only 62 dB(A); measured per ANSI B 175.2 standard. The collection bag holds up to 6.6 gallons of leaves. The precision suction power aids in fallen leaf cleanup without altering stone and rock settings in plant beds.

Questions and answers

Is the XBU07Z worth it?
It makes sense if you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and want one tool for blowing and mulching. If you have no batteries, add their cost before comparing with kits.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. The XBU07Z is tool only. You need an 18V LXT battery and charger, sold separately.
How does it compare with the XBU06 or gas blowers?
It trades raw power for quiet, emission-free operation and vacuum capability. Gas blowers move more air, but this one is far quieter and needs no fuel.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime depends on the battery and speed setting. A 5.0Ah pack gives roughly 15 to 25 minutes of continuous use; cruise control and lower speeds stretch that.
What is in the box?
The blower/vacuum body, vacuum tubes, collection bag and mulcher impeller are included. Battery and charger are not.
When is it cheapest?
Cordless outdoor tools often drop during spring and fall promotions. The current best new price is $204.99 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026.
