Portable Electric Tools: Makita BUB360Z2C Cordless Blower

Makita has released the new 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) Cordless Blower, model BUB360Z2C, and a 36V version, the 36V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower, model UB360DWD.

The new 18V X2 Cordless Blower is powered by two 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and run time.

"The new 18V X2 Cordless Blower has all the power and performance of gas-powered models, but without the noise, emissions and maintenance associated with gas motors," said Mario Lopez, Makita Product Manager, Cordless Tools. "It delivers 36V power and run time but with the same 18V LXT batteries that power over 65 Makita 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tools, so there’s not the hassle of maintaining another battery platform. Makita 18V X2 battery technology gives landscapers a new cordless solution."

The BUB360Z2C has a variable 2-speed motor (0-10,000,0-17,000 RPM) with a maximum air velocity of 208 MPH and up to 30 minutes of continuous run time. Added benefits include lower noise at only 86 dB(A) and zero emissions, making the BUB360Z2C ideal for applications in residential areas. The 18V X2 cordless BUB360Z2C requires none of the maintenance associated with comparable gas-powered blowers: simply insert two charged 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries and the tool is ready for work.

Additional benefits include a compact design at only 36-1/4" long with less weight (only 8 lbs. with batteries, sold separately). The BUB360Z2C also has LED battery indicators that show the charge level for each 18V LXT battery (batteries sold separately).
