About the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Blower (Tool Only)

Questions and answers

Is the Makita 18V blower worth it?
It is worth it if you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and want a light, quiet blower for patios, driveways and garages. If you are starting from scratch, budget for batteries and a charger, which can cost more than the tool.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. This is the tool-only version, so you need a Makita 18V LXT battery and charger. Any LXT pack works, but a larger pack gives noticeably longer runtime.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime depends on the pack and speed setting. Expect roughly 15 to 30 minutes at full speed on a 3.0Ah to 5.0Ah pack, longer at lower speeds with cruise control.
How does it compare with the Makita 36V or gas blowers?
The 18V model is lighter and quieter but moves less air than Makita's 36V twin-battery blowers or a gas backpack. For big yards and wet leaves, the 36V or gas options clear faster.
What is 459 CFM and 116 MPH enough for?
It handles dry leaves, grass clippings, dust and debris on hard surfaces well. It struggles with wet, matted leaves or large lawns, where higher-CFM blowers do better.
When is the best time to buy it?
Watch for fall leaf-cleanup sales and spring patio events, when cordless outdoor tools are discounted. Check the price history to see whether the current price is near its low.
What do buyers say about the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Blower (Tool Only)?
