About This Product

With lower noise and fewer emissions, the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Blower, Tool Only with Vacuum Attachment (XBU04ZV) is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. The commercial design allows the blower to tackle demanding applications, comparable to gas blowers. The XBU04ZV easily converts from blower to vacuum/mulcher (batteries sold separately). The Makita-built BL Brushless Motor delivers speed up to 120 MPH and up to 473 CFM. Makita's efficient BL 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.

                  mulch blows through vacuum bag mesh
                  Summary: An otherwise great lawn vacuum, is not useable in our yard because mulched leaves get blown out the vacuum bag mesh vent. (see pictures) Background: Initial impression was good. We were happy to have the batteries instead of the electric cord. Makita has a nice battery system (LXT) and associated selection of tools. The balance/weight of the vacuum was ok, once we figured out the straps. However, on the second use we noticed mulched leaves and mulched pine needle being blow out of the back of the bag into our swimming pool. The mulch powder settling in the pool made the "mulch blow through" issue more obvious. A signicant pile of mulch ended up in the pool which may not have been noticed so much on the lawn. Not good because mulch ends up in the pool filter system!! Only after a mulch ended up drifting in the pool did we take a closer look at the vacuum bag. The mesh vent openings are larger than the size of the mulch bits. Thus, some portion of the bag content just blows out through the mesh. Not good at all. We previously had a corded electric Black & Decker Lawn Vacuum and a corded electric Toro Lawn Vac. The corded Black & Decker and Toro vacuum bag (that we have had) *did*not* have any mesh vents on the associated bags! The Black & Decker and Toro vacuum bag fabric have been solid. Based on our prior lawn vacuum experience, we expected the lawn vacuum bag to keep the vacuumed/mulched content in the bag until we emptied the bag. To make matter worse, the Makita marketing materials seem to only show the side of the bag without the mesh. So, we can not tell if mesh has been removed in the replacement bags. Bottom Line: The mesh vent in the vacuum bag can be a deal breaker. An otherwise nice vacuum is not useable in our yard with a swimming pool. Only buy this model if you want some percentage of the bagged contents to be blown back out.

                    JUNK
                    The most worthless piece of crap Makita has ever made. Big, bulky, does not have any suction at all and 2 batteries last 5 minutes. I question buying anything Makita again.

                        Not for me
                        I was really disappointed in this machine. I like Makita as a rule but would not recommend this one. The vacuum feature on this blower is practically useless. Unless the leaves were loose and completely twig-free it would stop up. The configuration in vacuum mode made it cumbersome to operate. The shoulder strap, while helping to relieve the weight, made it difficult to point the nozzle in the correct direction. We didn't even try it in blow mode, just returned it for credit.
