Mine also came with a tapered nozzle as well, good for lifting leaves stuck to a tarmac surface after a car has driven over them and squashed the leaves into the surface. This nozzle also gives more directional control when "herding" the leaves into a pile. Some guys did strimming work for me and took the telescopic tube and tapered nozzle off to blow my patio area and a path clear. Now I cannot find these parts anywhere so what they did with them I have no idea. My own fault for not checking at the time. Fortunately I have found the Makita part numbers and can order replacements. Annoying but the total cast is around €11 here so not a huge expense. Now I have ordered these parts they will probably turn up in an unexpected place. You need at least a couple of spare 5Ah batteries because this tool seems to use battery charge very quickly. My Makita 36V lawn mower, the largest size before the model with a metal deck rather than plastic, seems to run forever on two 5Ah batteries.
I have just bought the DUB363Z which has the facility to change over the pipes and vacuum the leaves. With two batteries fitted it seems to weigh almost as much as my petrol Husqvarna however, the fitting and securing of pipes is far superior and better engineered than either Husqvarna or Stihl petrol versions. On the bonus side considerably quieter than the two stroke engines of those two machines. The Makita does not require five to ten minutes minutes or so warming up to reduce the initial smoke output. I suppose the motor and bearings have to be quite beefy to cope with the shredding facility, hence the comparable weights. The removal of the bag for emptying is very easy, the Husqvarna needs a box a spanner to remove the pipe which goes into the collecting bag instead of just undoing a quick release strap.
Very good idea to show how it works on all speeds. I just bought it without accumulators, now waiting for 2 pcs 9A accs from China. Makita DC18RD charger for 2 accs was bought by me already.
You got any experience with the alternative 18v blower? I’m wondering if it’s worth it to pay the extra money for the 36v over the 18v. On paper the 36v really doesn’t seem that much more powerful
You took the question out of my mouth. I've watched a review of the 18 V model and of this one. They perform similar and they generate similar wind speeds. But the 18V model is half the price of this 36 V. Plus its significantly lighter... I currently use a gas powered hand held blower from Makita and I can only sing praises of it. It's a 4 stroke engine so you don't have to mix gas and oil... That being said, it's a bit on a heavy side. I'd like to add a battery blower to my stable for those small fast jobs... I use it professionally and since my clients have relatively small yards, I never saw a need to buy a massive backpack blower from Stihl or Husky that costs an arm and a leg.. I have plenty of things to invest in before splurging 500$ on a Stihl beast. My gas Makita is strong enough, but I need something lighter and smaller. 18V model seems like a perfect solution..
@@markbrisec3972 i actually ended up with both 18v and the 36v. i sold the 18v in the end. would i pay near double the price for the upgrade in cfm? no. i got lucky and found a guy selling the 36v bnib for little more than the 18v. that being said the extra power is quite noticeable. more so than the specs would have you believe. (although from memory they tightened the 36v blower nozzle which likely adds to the feel of increased cfm) in the end everything has a price. id personally pay 50$ ish more for the 36v. but I've also got a large amount of batteries. as i think committing 2 batteries to it for some could be a slight hinderance. also the weight and power/kickback of the 36v does start to fatigue the hand/arm after several minutes. (im not a small guy) so if weight is right up there as a priority then that alone may be the reason to get the 18v. its a great blower
No difference in the machine. The letters at the end mean packs with batteries, chargers, etc. In this case my blower came with no batteries, no charger. 😉
I would really like to see a comparison test between this 36 V model and an 18 V. They look exactly the same except one using 2 batteries and the other only one. But the key difference is the price. 18 V model is half the price of this one. I doubt that the 36 V blower is twice as powerful, at least according to various reviews of the weaker model I've watched on YT. As far as I can see they perform similar and generate similar wind speeds.

Thank you for your comment. I made the video like I was a buyer looking for all the specs.
@@joaoppt , this video is the only one with all necessary information!!! :)
@@nextonetoo Thanks again for the compliment and encouragement to make new videos. Please subscribe :)
Great video Pedro. Thanks 👌
I appreciate your compliment :)
Nice show up of the leaf blower 💨

Thank you so much for you feedback. Please subscribe if it's not asking to much 😉
Parabéns! Excelente vídeo :)
Obrigado!! 😀
What's the difference between the 362 and 362Z?
No difference in the machine. The letters at the end mean packs with batteries, chargers, etc. In this case my blower came with no batteries, no charger. 😉

Unfortunately, I don't have the 18V model but for sure the 36V will last longer and who have a big garden like me it's perfect.
