Makita XBU03 18V LXT Blower | Lightest in Class and Powerful

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ธ.ค. 2019
- The Makita XBU03SM1 blower kit comes with a 4.0Ah battery and charger. This single-battery blower pushes 459 CFM and 116 MPH and we tested it to 11.3 Newtons.
That makes it the most powerful blower in its class. It's also the lightest at 6.2 pounds (with a 5.0Ah battery). It ran for 10 minutes, 25 seconds on high. Noise output is 63 decibels on low, 83 decibels on high. Makita added a new "cruise control" feature.

I use my Makita blower with an extension and nozzle in the winter for removing light snow from the car and driveway. At the highest speed the batteries last about 10 to 15 minutes. Works great and even blows away loose ice.
Great Idea Neal I gotta try that !
I just bought one today and was wondering that. Thanks I bought the one in the video
This came out right after I finally sprang for the X2 blower. Dang! Would have preferred this one.
I was wondering if this would be a good alternative to the x2. Doesn’t seem like there is that much of a power difference- probably a runtime differential
Great information thank you
I just bought one very similar , i.e. looks the same but different model number ( DUB184ST ) kit with extra bonus 5 ah battery , I also bought the two extension nozzle pieces that were about $9 each , not included in the kit . Another plus , I have one those cheapy 6" pruning chainsaws that comes with 2 small capacity 18v batteries , the makita batteries also fit it perfectly .
I wonder if their going to revamp the two battery blower now that this one is out?
It should work much better with the extension. The closer to the object you want to move, such as leaves, the more power you'll have to do it. I've been using the black colored Toro electric for years, and it works great. Not as good as gas machine obviously, but for $50.00 plus when I bought it plus a 100' cord, certainly a lot cheaper than gas. The cord though is a pain to deal with and I've been thinking of getting a batterie blower. Just not sure any are as good as the electric. But, I'm already into the Makita platform too.
Does it come with a reducer tip to increase blowing force?
Tractor Supply has the tool only (Makita 18 Volt Brushless Lithium Ion Blower, XBU03Z) for $49.99. Free ship to store. I don't know how much longer it will be on sale. I bought one, and I am thoroughly impressed. Today is Easter Sunday 2022.
I’ve been trying to get it off their site, but it won’t allow me to add to cart
@@FreakoBeatz843 At first, you could not pick the blower up at the store. You could have it shipped to the store for free which is what I did. I just looked at the TSC website and now, you have to use the website to find a store that has it and pick it up there. Amazon had it on sale a couple of days ago...but not now.
I'm a kitesurfer and need a high volume air pump to pump my kite up to 8psi, kite valves are about 3/4 inch in diameter so the force coming out of the tube would go from approximatly 2 inchs down to 3/4 inch which would increase the pressure... the kite valves are one way valves so air won't come out until undone... just wondering if you think this blower with an size reducer to make it work with a kite would be powerful enough to get to 8 psi ???
Don’t think you could find an adapter nozzle for that and even if you did I doubt it would be powerful enough to do that but I don’t know
Hello. Thanks for your video, I have a question please. What could be the runtime with a 3.0Ah battery? Thanks, Dan
Thank you. Is in your opinion better this one or the 36V?
How long is the Battery last when is full charged.....How long takes it till Battery is full charged Time please? No Information in Box ore sale
Mine is garbage! After using lightly to blow off my porch, it gave me a good static shock and now the speed control is messed up. 5 months old, not even two batteries worth of use. I’m a huge Makita fan but was very let down with my XBU03 😔
Why not even mention one of the top considerations of how long it lasts before you have to charge the battery?
That's what I was hoping to find in this video. I just bought the blower and have a 3.0Ah battery. It lasted about 10-15 min on high.
All we need to know is how does it deal with wet leaves. That's all.
Never as good as gas, same with their chainsaw
Can you go back and measure the Newton’s in their x2 blower? I want to know how bad I messed up buying the legacy 36v blower. :(
Same here, can't decide for the same reason. Can't find any info its crazy
The x2 is barely more powerful than the single battery model. I don't know the newtons but the CFMs and Mph is only slightly higher.
Right now it's $49 good deal
Power seems really good, but how's the run time with a single 5Ah 18v battery? Did you do any testing? I have a PILE of Makita 18v tools and would consider adding this blower for light cleanup work as long as it can last a while on low-medium speeds.
That’s almost too good to be true! How does power/run time compare to Milwaukee’s Gen2 blower using 9 or 12Ah batteries?
@@superspeeder my maki chains will cut your milkwalk in/2
@@samle7678 sure, whatever that means...
Hi, Do you know if the 5amp battery will make blower a little stronger than the 4amp battery? Thanks
It won't - it will just run for longer. 4Ah vs 5Ah means you get 25% longer run time.
@@caseyfulton6644, not in all cases. Some tools do gain a little bit more power from larger Ah batteries. I don't know if this one does, but my drills certainly do.
@@mr.c6674 truth
Mine shuts off on high power after 1 second yet works on 1 thru 3 speed fine ???
I thought this model was variable speed?
I have one it is very powerful but the battery life is terrible
Does anyone know if there is much deference in this and the 36v version as can't find anything? Thanks in advance.
I saw a back to back test, and the 36 wasn't that much more powerful. Maybe a little more runtime, but way more expensive. I just carry some extra 5.0s with me,.. all good.
How does Ego compare to Makita ?
Ego cost 4x more that's all you need to know lol
Why don't they make these tools with an optional battery or electric mains power supply set up ?
Brushless motors = DC current
Ill buy this to dry my car
thank you...you will able to not tell your life story and give useless information.......
Doesn't work good when you tried it in woods
shut up fool
Looks weak, might as well by a strong blower
you look weak fool.......
