Until the Makita came along I thought the EGO was the best blower in the world because it's so powerful. I don't think the EGO is the best blower anymore. In fact the Makita is now my go-to blower even though it's much less powerful than the EGO. What made me change my mind regarding the Makita is the Makita's instantaneous and highly responsive trigger switch. The Makita's switch allows me to feather the trigger to corral leaves into a tight pile. With the powerful EGO, I could never properly corral leaves because the EGO's switch has a huge 1/2 second time lag between change in trigger movement and change in airflow.
One thing of note is that this Makita blower's battery life is short when used at full throttle, probably giving around 5 minutes of use at full blast. If I dialed it back to level 3 (i.e. 1/2 power) or even level 1, I could still do the majority of my cleanup work, although at a slightly slower pace. The benefit with using just enough power to do the cleanup work and reserving maximum power only for occasional use when needed is the battery charge can last a whole lot longer. If I left everything at full blast, the batteries would last maybe 5 minutes and I couldn't get the cleanup work done for just my front yard. However, if used minimum power needed, I could clean up my whole front yard and would still have 2/3 of battery charge left when I'm done. The same phenomenon is observed with the EGO blower and battery.
There are two things I don't like about the Makita: First dislike is the air intake is right on the back where it will happily suck on loose clothing and thereby blocking airflow. On the EGO there is a cage on top of the air intake grill that prevents this from happening. Second dislike is the dial which controls the maximum speed available to the throttle switch is clumsy to use. Other than these two minor flaws, I like the Makita blower a whole lot more than the EGO even though the EGO has a lot more raw power, but in terms of practical use taking everything into account, the Makita wins.
PRO's:
- Powerful blower with a wide range of air velocity settings (1-6)
- Nice balance of the of the blower when the batteries are attached
- Came with quick charge dual charger and 4 x 5.0Ah 18V batteries
- Comes with one extension pipe with a round outlet
- Both the blower and the individual batteries have power indicators showing state of battery charge
- Blower compatible with all my other Makita 18V batteries, but the larger Ah batteries are more suitable for this blower due to it's power consumption.
CON's:
- If using the blower for extended periods, especially on the higher settings, it can get a little heavy. But to be clear I was aware of this when purchasing the product - it did not come as a surprise.
Overall, very pleased with the product since purchasing it nine months ago.
Weight is a negative; it’s not crazy heavy, but it you have to maneuver it a lot for a long job then i can see it working you out a bit. That said, they designed the handle so that you can simply let it hang down and it already points in a good direction and angle to start working. I’m 5’11” and it works for me well. Shorter folks can adjust or even take off the nozzle extension.
I bought the Makita blower because I needed a leaf blower to be able to clean off the sidewalks. I'm not a commercial user, this is just for my own home.
The unit has 6 settings and setting number 4 seems to be the best. Powerful enough that it blows away the leaves and twigs, not so powerful that it starts launching rocks and stones into windows. The battery lasts for about 15 to 20 minutes on setting 4 and the unit has far more power than my old gas homelight blower.
I also use it to blow off snow from the solar panels. It won't work on the wet sticky stuff, but the lighter fluffy snow blows right away. Its faster and easier than using the broom.
I also purchase a 3 inch pvc elbow from the hardware store and I stick it on the end of the nozzle and use it to blow out our gutters around the house.
I'm happy with the purchase and the unit does exactly what I expected it to do. No more carburetor problems, no more mixing fuel, no more problems trying to get the blower to start when its 30 degrees outside.
Top reviews from other countries
The only negative is that the intake is easy to plug with a loose jacket since it is at the end that faces you - pretty minor, I still like it!
The fact that you do not have to pull the cord out, battery powered remember, and untangle it when you want to use it is an absolute bonus.
I picked it because reviews claimed a perfect in hand balance and it is true.
The two batteries last long enough to do a good job of my back and front yard, the extra 2 will come in handy in the spring and autumn with bigger cleaning jobs.
