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.

Mower is louder than other battery mowers
The 5.0Ah batteries are not powerful enough to cut my suburban lawn of less than a 1/4 acre.
I had thought that the kit came with a plug for grass-cycling plug but did not find one. It would be worthwhile to have this addition.

Added benefits include lower noise at only 86 dB (A) and zero emissions, making it ideal for applications in residential areas. The XBU01Z requires none of the maintenance associated with comparable gas-powered blowers: simply insert 2 charged 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries and the tool is ready for work.View Full Product Description
