Reviews

Yes, I realize it is not classified as a leaf blower. I was secretly hoping however that it was going to be more "robust" when it comes to blowing leaves off a deck, as i read that was a real possibility. The stem of a magnolia leaf kept it stuck between 2 deck boards. With that said, it is a clever little tool (amount the size of a cat) that does a good job blasting small leaves, dust and feathers from a smooth surface.

This is an awesome blower, so small and convenient to use, yet so powerful for the size. I started in my yard, but now I am even using it inside my house to dust. Includes lower fan speed dial so you can control the airflow for more delicate projects. Battery life is tremendous and the battery recharges in a heartbeat wtih the quick charger.

I originally found this tool when I was looking at the Makita website. It was part of a whole new line to LXT tools. I had already bought a Drill and Impact wrench combo set so I had the batteries and charger. Some reviews made this this blower sound half speed and a real battery hog. I went ahead and got it, and I am so glad that I did. First off it is small. When you see the box, you will consider sending it back because surely it can't work well. This is just wrong. It is so easy to hold in one hand and just get the job done. It has plenty of power to blow away dirt, grass, bark mulch, dust, garbage, leaves, and misbehaving children. The battery lasts about 10 minutes, but this is more than enough to finish the sidewalks and driveway of my residential lot. As an added benefit, it also is the fastest way to clean the dust and dirt out of my garage. The black nozzle also is removable. You can put it on the intake and put an optional bag on the front to turn this into a portable vacuum. The only issue I have had with this tool is that sometimes my shirt get sucked into the inlet. It is blocked from entering the impeller, but I have to pause and pull it out. Five stars for a great tool. I plan to make this an awesome gift for my dad and father in law.

When i first got it i thought..no way,this thing is tiny!!!But i was suprised!!! It's GREAT use it all the time!!

I bought this for one thing only and that was to blow off my sidewalks and front porch. I thought this would save some time instead of constantly sweeping. I was a little concerned after reading all the reviews on the product but since I own the Makita set I went ahead and purchased it. Low and behold I was NOT disappointed. This blower has three settings. Number 1 being the lowest and Number 3 being the highest. I mostly use #3 because the trigger allows you to use just the right amount of power that you need according to how hard you squeeze (The harder you squeeze the more it blows). THIS BLOWER WORKS GREAT!! Very powerful for such a small blower! I now look forward to cleaning the porch and sidewalk! Please understand that this IS NOT FOR BLOWING WET LEAVES OR BIG PILES OF ANYTHING! Highly convenient and very lightweight. Can easily be handled and is not that loud. Goes through batteries on #3 setting in about 10 minutes but not a problem due to the fact that i have multiple batteries already and foresee this when cleaning with this blower. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!
