Powerful leaf blower/sucker, sucky battery.
Powerful leaf blowing and mulching. Bag easy(ish) to empty. Battery life lacking – only lasts 20 mins or so. Not great for a house with multiple trees dumping mass leaves. I still love it though.

Excellent vacuum clean up tool! Donât get to be a blower
I have a 40v makita blower that i use just about everyday. I never use the blower function of this mulching tool. Itâs vacuum only for me. I think itâs just powerful enough to get the job done.This tool shines in spots where a powerful leaf blow would blow your pile into the neighbors yard. Which would require a respectable person to bend over and scoop the pile into a trash can. It can suck up a lot of dirt which I find impressiveIt can suck a macadamia tree leaf which is definitely a big rigid leaf. They can also get stuck which requires a tap on the ground or your hand to push it throughI take my new mulch and dump it by my fruit trees.

suction weak, does not get close enough using wheels
with out being able to use wheels must bear full weight and hold within a few inches of dry leaves. Not good for a bad back.

Disappointing battery
I have always thought highly of Makita quality. This leaf blower/vac surely misses the big leagues.Today, I took the battery off the charger and the machine worked well, for about 20 minutes.Not enough to finish. After one hour and twenty minutes to recharge less than fully. It worked for about 10 minutes and died.The first time I tried it, it was less than fully charged. It would not even perform. I fully charged it,had to wait a few days to try it out and the battery did not perform. $300, I should bave bought a lesserbrand.

Handy but heavy.
Wish it would suck up acorns too.

Good multi functional tool
This thing works well for what it was designed to do. Itâs not the most powerful blower that Makita makes but that is because of its design to also work as a leaf vacuum/Mulcher. For the vacuum and mulching it works great. I wouldnât get this tool if you will use it mostly as a blower but itâs nice that it does both functions. It can get a bit heavy but it comes with a shoulder strap to help alleviate that.
