This score is based on how balanced the 36V LXT Brushless is, how its grip feels, where its air intake vent is, and how much it weighs. It moves small to medium piles without an issue, but we did manage to stump the Makita when the pine needles stuck together enough to form a massive mat that stretched across multiple parking spaces. Both of these models are part of a battery family, making them good options for folks who already own products in either line or are looking to build out a new suite of battery-operated power tools.BL1830, or fully charged BL1830 and 70% charged BL1830), the machine stops when the battery with less capacity is empty. Despite not feeling to have as much power as other models, the ergonomic nozzle helped push leaves and other debris efficiently. Wherever the job takes you, Makita tools equipped with XPT™ are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.

Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. Additionally, if you have other Makita cordless handheld tools, you can interchange the batteries with this model to keep your blower blowing. The variable speed trigger allows the user to find the ideal speed whilst the cruise control function allows you to set and adjust the speed easily. The Makita DUB186Z 18v LXT Leaf blower follows on from the popular DUB183 but with approximately 20% increased power from the same form. The Makita DUB187Z 18v cordless blower/vacuum is a professional tool for cleaning and collecting debris around the garden.

While other brands leaf blowers have a more impressive battery system or larger single batteries, the Makita shares batteries across Makita's enormous line of quality battery-powered tools. Powered by a 36v high power drive system using the Makita PDC01 or PDC1200 backpack portable power system this cordless blower offers excellent blowing power. XPT™ is a protective seal inside the tool and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.

The Makita created noise levels of about 91 decibels for the operator without any particularly irritating high-pitched tones. Using an SPL meter, we measured the sound level experienced by the operator when the 36V LXT Brushless was in its most powerful mode. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries.

The included charger can charge both batteries simultaneously, and we found that it took about an hour to completely recharge a dead battery, plus or minus five minutes or so. Makita ® LXT ® Cordless Blowers feature a compact design and weigh less for reduced operator fatigue. The Makita UB001GZ is a high power cordless garden blower compatible with the 40v max XGT battery system. While the pitch was fine, this was the loudest model we tested, even though it is much quieter than gas-powered leaf blowers.
