About Makita XBU02Z 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless Blower
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
90% were satisfied with the air nozzle design; however 10% found it awkward
When using the unit close to clothes, they sometimes get sucked in because the intake air is located underneath the batteries on the opposite end.
94% found the battery long lasting, yet 6% experienced rapid drainage
I had a bad experience with off-brand batteries as they lasted only for 2 charges and died. Now, I only buy Makita brand batteries and they last forever.
After charging the batteries, I was able to use the blower for 30 minutes on less than half of my large driveway loaded with pinecones and leaves.
91% found it light in weight, but 9% felt it was little heavy
The leaf-blower is heavier than expected, but my wife can still use it.
The leaf blower is a little heavy on my forearm, but I switch hands or use my other hand to help hold it.
I find the blower too heavy to handle, weighing 15 1/2 pounds.
The blower is quite heavy to hold for 10-15 minutes in one hand.
88% highlighted the maintenance requirements, but 12% found them excessive
I had to learn how to manage the new rechargeable batteries of the leaf-blower. I provided a list of instructions to manage the batteries, including removing them when not in use and using most all of the battery power before recharging.
95% found it silent to operate
I think the leaf-blower is refreshingly quiet, probably because it's not extremely powerful.
91% appreciated the speed levels, while 9% found them inadequate
I like the power levels and tend to do most cleaning jobs on #4 level. It is great for leaves on the decks and the driveway.
On high speed, it could potentially blow small children across the yard.
When I ran the device at maximum speed, the battery died in just 20 minutes.
I need to operate the blower on higher settings as low power levels don't have much power.
