Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless Blower Kit — Teal, 5.0Ah Batteries, 120 MPH / 473 CFM

The Makita XBU02PT is a cordless 36V (18V X2) LXT brushless blower kit that delivers gas-like performance with quieter operation, zero emissions, and up to 28 minutes runtime on a single charge.

Built for landscapers, contractors, and property managers who want the power of gas without the fumes or maintenance, this kit combines Makita’s BL Brushless motor with two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger. The blower reaches high air speeds and volumes while offering multiple speed settings, protective engineering for harsh jobsites, and a compact, battery-platform-friendly design that keeps you on the established 18V LXT ecosystem.

How much power and runtime can I expect from this blower?

The XBU02PT uses two 18V LXT batteries to produce 36V equivalent power, supporting up to 28 minutes of run time at mid-speed on a pair of 5.0Ah batteries. Its brushless motor maximizes battery efficiency and delivers both high air velocity and sustained airflow for cleanup tasks.

• Up to 28 minutes runtime at dial setting #3 with two 18V 5.0Ah batteries
• Maximum air velocity approximately 120 MPH for strong debris movement
• Air volume around 473 CFM for fast clearing of leaves and clippings
• BL Brushless motor extends runtime and tool longevity by optimizing energy use

What controls and settings help match the blower to the job?

Adjustable speed lets you balance power and battery life across different tasks. A six-stage dial plus a variable speed trigger gives precise control, from gentle sweeping to aggressive blowing.

• Six-stage air velocity/volume dial for quick setting changes
• Variable speed trigger for on-the-fly modulation
• Mid and high settings provide strong output for heavy debris
• Lower settings conserve battery and reduce noise for sensitive areas

Is this blower durable enough for jobsite use and bad weather?

Makita engineered the XBU02PT with protection features to resist dust and moisture common on outdoor jobs. The internal design channels contaminants away from critical parts, helping maintain performance in tougher conditions.

• Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) seals internal components against dust and water intrusion
• Brushless motor runs cooler and requires less maintenance than brushed designs
• Rugged construction suited for regular pro use
• Battery platform compatibility simplifies field swaps and charging

How do noise and emissions compare to gas blowers?

Operating on batteries eliminates tailpipe emissions and substantially lowers sound levels versus typical gas units. The XBU02PT has a measured sound pressure around 61 dB(A), making it more neighborhood- and client-friendly while reducing the need for fuel handling and tune-ups.

• Zero direct emissions during operation
• Sound pressure rating approximately 61 dB(A) for quieter performance
• No gasoline, oil mixing, or spark plug maintenance
• Faster start-up and predictable throttle response from electric drive

Who this is for: The Makita XBU02PT kit suits landscape professionals, property maintenance teams, and dedicated homeowners who need dependable cordless blowing power without the noise, fumes, or upkeep of gas equipment. It’s ideal for repeated cleanup cycles where battery compatibility with the 18V LXT ecosystem matters and where weather resistance and tool longevity are priorities. The included pair of 5.0Ah batteries and dual-port rapid charger keep crews moving with minimal downtime.
