It does the job, blows leaves, or sawdust off my saw tables, with ease. It’s compact, making it lightweight, but powerful. I bought another one for my son, and he loves it too. Now I need to mention that we are Makita guys so we already have the batteries, that is a big deal. However this blower is impressive, it has three speeds, and because of its size the maneuverability is great. You don’t get tired carrying this down the driveway. I use it to blow out the shed, blow off my lawn tractor, blow off different work tables, even my truck bed, and it’s easy to store. You really don’t need a big blower to get the job done. Review: I have use it about 1 hour, still running great. Just put on charge and it took 15 minuets. Awesome! - I'm just blowen away buy this blower. Perfect for me, powerful and effected. A MUST BUY. ## Features - Variable speed control by trigger - 3 air volume settings: Low, Medium, High - Vacuum function - can be used as a vacuum with a dust bag.

I bought one for work and liked enough to buy another one for home. Honestly I can't tell you what the difference is. I have'nt had them side by side. I put a 6 amp hour battery on them (generic) and lasts longer than I inticipated. **Q: Battery not fitting i have makita 18v bl1815** A: Bl1815 only works with certain smaller tools, like impact drills. I believe the bl1820 is the smallest size that will work on the larger tools **Q: Can you suck up water?** A: Absolutely not !! Doesn’t even suck DUST. THERE IS NO MOTOR FILTER so don’t do it. **Q: How does this product do blowing snow off of a Jeep? Looking to be able to keep it in my Jeep to blow it off before going to work.** A: Probable not . I bought it to blow water off my auto after a washing it had a hard time doing that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small tool, big blow *by T***M on November 2, 2025* We Love this blower!

Awesome! *by C***R on February 28, 2026* I'm just blowen away buy this blower. Perfect for me, powerful and effected. A MUST BUY. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for Large Projects but… I LOVE this Little Blower! *by V***R on April 27, 2023* You want a quick and simple review of a great product? Overview: I use this ALL THE TIME to clean my garage floor, clean my shelves in the garage from all the sawdust after a project, I blow out the dust from inside my vehicles, I blow the floors inside my house on low power to move the dust from the corners and stairs, and I use it on the patio and porch to move some leaves and dirt that accumulate. Its ideal for small to medium jobs if you don't need a ton of power or the need to move lots of material. PROS: 1. Light and compact 2. Powerful for the size 3. Multiple power settings (3) 4. Useful inside and out of house (I use it for my car) 5. Compatible with most other Makita batteries 6. Easy to store 7. Removeable nozzle CONS: I don't have anything negative to say about this. Conclusion: I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight blower for household garage, porch, floors, or minor leaf blowing. If you have lots of leaves and heavier material you want to move you should buy a higher power dual battery version. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita DUB185Z Cordless Handheld Leaf Blower Powered by 18V LXT Li-Ion Battery - Makita BL1840BDC1 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah) - Makita 123241-2 Dust Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/301324386-dub185z-cordless-handheld-leaf-blower-powered-by-18v-lxt-li](https://www.desertcart.us/products/301324386-dub185z-cordless-handheld-leaf-blower-powered-by-18v-lxt-li) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
