- High blowing power (= 16.2 m/s)
- Great handling, also thanks to the low weight (~ 3.7 kg)
- Battery lacks endurance (= 10:25 min)
- Small volume of the leaf bag (~ 25 litres)
- Relatively high sound pressure level (~ 92.5 dB)
This Makita model is solid all round: while the battery life (= 10:25 min at maximum blowing power) and the charging speed (= 114 min) could certainly be improved, the blowing & suction performance of = 58.3 km/h from = 1 m before the end of the blowing tube made quite an impression. Due to the size of the tube, leaves can also be pulled in very quickly...
