              Is this the same as the XBU05Z only with a longer tube? The XBU05Z states speeds of 219 mph while this model states 152mph. It looks like i could use the longer tube (191G09-6) on the XBU05Z and have the faster speed with the longer tube? Or not?

                Another one that died young
                Used very little and it looks brand new but it quit working while drying my car. The blower has maybe 2 or 3 hours of use, stored in a climate controlled area, babied. It will go to a Makita repair center under warranty and won't be happy if I get a heavily used unit back. Wish I wasn't invested in Makita batteries. I've read a myriad of cases just like mine in the reviews, There should be a recall.

                  Great Blower So Far
                  I am very impressed with this blower. I have/had a lot of blowers, both cordless and gas powered. I had a 80V Kobalt and a 40V Dewalt. My expectations were that it would be comparable to the Dewalt. But it is so much better. Even better than the 80V Kobalt that I loved (but was stolen). I am a remodel contractor and like to keep a clean job site and this tool is a welcome addition. I can now get rid of all other cordless blowers I have.

                    Just what I needed
                    I tried a neighbor's corded leaf blower and of course did not like dragging the cord around all the plants. I attached a photo of the yard. So the leaves from the trees need to be blown off at least every week. This Makita works great! It has a variable speed control to set a continuous speed and then a lever to blow at higher speeds when you want. The battery life is great; I used it four times on one charge. It is lighter weight that a corded blower too.

                      This rivals the new Echo mixed gas blower I’ve been using, but so much quieter. With a couple of charges batteries I’m able to clean my whole 1/4 acre property. It exceeded my expectations s in every way, great purchase.

                      I watched a lot of reviews on a lot of blowers and decided to go with the makita since I have other tools and like them. Best decision I made for a blower. Has a lot more power then I expected yet also wanted out of an 18v blower. I'd buy again for sure without question. Blows wet leaves pretty decent for what it is as well.

                      I’m impressed with this blower, super light weight, I do have another gas blower and still works but is heavy and I have to carried on my back, plus when I don’t use it that often it takes at least 6-7 pulls to make it run, Now this Makita blower it makes my duty’s so easy, not only to blow the leafs of my front driveway, and the back patio ,also I use it to blow the extra water when I wash my truck, It takes about 30 min to full charge the battery, I don’t have to carrier it on my back, I’m very please with this makita blower

                      I am thoroughly please with the makita LXT blower. After realizing it had a dial to change the level of air flow, it has become an integral part of my work. I can use it to blow off debris while on a jobsite. But the thing that really impressed me was yesterday our church went Christmas caroling and we went to a house of someone who was sick and not able to get out. When we walked up on the porch it was full of leaves. I happen to have my work Van with me was able to reach for my makita blower and blew the deck off to where we could sing for this lovely lady. I also appreciate that I did not have to buy a different battery. It works with mine makita star batteries.

                      I have to say that this blower really surprised me, in a good way. I have a different brand battery powered leaf blower now that I thought was ok. This Makita blower put it to shame. I can’t believe the force this thing generates. It has very similar force to my old gas powered blower. You can feel the “kick” when to press the trigger, which surprised me. I couldn’t believe the force it generates, compared to my other one, no contest, this one beats it hands down. It also has the ability to blow without constantly pressing the trigger, which is nice for a large area. I would definitely recommend this Makita blower.

                      This has the power I need. I was looking for a lightweight, cordless, adjustable speed blower. The nozzle is appx. 17" in length. I love that there are no cords or gas to deal with. This is perfect for the garage, the shop, porch, patio, sidewalk, and deck. My son also uses this to blow off the car to dry it, after washing. Works with my 18v Makita battery and charger, which is awesome. I have used it all around my house and yard. I live in Arizona, so I can't speak for a yard full of leaves, like up north, but it worked great for my needs. The only reason I knocked a star off, is because this really needs a more narrow nozzle extension, as this one is rather wide, so the air cannot be directed as well, it is more of a wider area, but it still more than satisfies my needs, and I believe I can buy an extension for this... This unit does have good power and works well. Also, my battery has lasted as long as I needed it, with more battery still left, so I am happy, and it is Makita brand, which is such good quality. I would recommend this blower. I think this is a great buy, especially if you have the 18v Makita battery. A great addition to your Makita tool collection.
