Description
Overview of the Makita XBU02PT
- Power: The Makita XBU02PT is an electric leaf blower with a maximum air volume rating of 473 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 120 MPH.
- Power delivery: Makita designed this cordless unit with total mobility in mind. The XBU02PT only needs to be plugged in when it is charging, so users can take it almost anywhere.
- Battery: Its 5 Ah 36 V Li-ion LXT® battery system (2 batteries included) offers an autonomy of 28 minutes on a full charge. Makita’s LXT® battery technology provides a more efficient and convenient experience to leaf blower users. The cordless tools using LXT® batteries represent an unbeatable line-up of 18 V devices. Note that this is a 36 V blower. It therefore requires both of the 2 included 18 V LXT® batteries.
- Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. However, for a electric handheld blower, the Makita XBU02PT is heavier than most, weighing 9 lbs.
- Speed Settings: In order to afford more control to the user, this unit has a variable speed control. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Makita XBU02PT to match.
- Noise: As far as electric handheld blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 61 dB.
