PRO's:
- Powerful blower with a wide range of air velocity settings (1-6)
- Nice balance of the of the blower when the batteries are attached
- Came with quick charge dual charger and 4 x 5.0Ah 18V batteries
- Comes with one extension pipe with a round outlet
- Both the blower and the individual batteries have power indicators showing state of battery charge
- Blower compatible with all my other Makita 18V batteries, but the larger Ah batteries are more suitable for this blower due to it's power consumption.
CON's:
- If using the blower for extended periods, especially on the higher settings, it can get a little heavy. But to be clear I was aware of this when purchasing the product - it did not come as a surprise.
Overall, very pleased with the product since purchasing it nine months ago.
My yard gets a ton of redwood branches this time of year, which have needles that tend to catch on things. It used to take me 20-40 minutes to clean the yard with the Echo, and the Makita makes the job a little faster and definitely more fun. The emitted air seems to be less turbulent, so the air plume extends further and I can blow the leaves about twice as far.
I normally leave the speed control on "4", which will move gravel or a thick carpet of leaves. At first I locked the trigger on full speed for 20 minutes until the batteries ran out, but then I learned that the trigger has a nice variable-speed capability. Running a gas blower less than full doesn't save a lot of gas, but lower speeds dramatically extend battery life and are more than sufficient for a thin layer of leaves. With a little technique I can easily go 40 minutes on fully-charged batteries and still have some life left at the end. Modulating the speed also makes it easier to dislodge leaves from cracks or clean off stepping stones.
This is my new favorite piece of yard equipment. Highly recommended.
Until the Makita came along I thought the EGO was the best blower in the world because it's so powerful. I don't think the EGO is the best blower anymore. In fact the Makita is now my go-to blower even though it's much less powerful than the EGO. What made me change my mind regarding the Makita is the Makita's instantaneous and highly responsive trigger switch. The Makita's switch allows me to feather the trigger to corral leaves into a tight pile. With the powerful EGO, I could never properly corral leaves because the EGO's switch has a huge 1/2 second time lag between change in trigger movement and change in airflow.
One thing of note is that this Makita blower's battery life is short when used at full throttle, probably giving around 5 minutes of use at full blast. If I dialed it back to level 3 (i.e. 1/2 power) or even level 1, I could still do the majority of my cleanup work, although at a slightly slower pace. The benefit with using just enough power to do the cleanup work and reserving maximum power only for occasional use when needed is the battery charge can last a whole lot longer. If I left everything at full blast, the batteries would last maybe 5 minutes and I couldn't get the cleanup work done for just my front yard. However, if used minimum power needed, I could clean up my whole front yard and would still have 2/3 of battery charge left when I'm done. The same phenomenon is observed with the EGO blower and battery.
There are two things I don't like about the Makita: First dislike is the air intake is right on the back where it will happily suck on loose clothing and thereby blocking airflow. On the EGO there is a cage on top of the air intake grill that prevents this from happening. Second dislike is the dial which controls the maximum speed available to the throttle switch is clumsy to use. Other than these two minor flaws, I like the Makita blower a whole lot more than the EGO even though the EGO has a lot more raw power, but in terms of practical use taking everything into account, the Makita wins.
Top reviews from other countries
The only negative is that the intake is easy to plug with a loose jacket since it is at the end that faces you - pretty minor, I still like it!
The fact that you do not have to pull the cord out, battery powered remember, and untangle it when you want to use it is an absolute bonus.
I picked it because reviews claimed a perfect in hand balance and it is true.
The two batteries last long enough to do a good job of my back and front yard, the extra 2 will come in handy in the spring and autumn with bigger cleaning jobs.
