LXT leaf blower/vacuum with leaf shredding function DUB187T001

Universal Garden Cleaning Tool

A cordless blower and vacuum in one, powered by the LXT 18V system, this solution eliminates the need for two separate devices to maintain order in your garden. This model allows for quick switching from blowing leaves and debris to collecting and shredding them, significantly accelerating gardening tasks. Thanks to the brushless DC motor (BLDC), the device offers higher performance with lower energy consumption and longer drive mechanism life compared to traditional brushed solutions.

Working Comfort and Functionality

A key design feature is the ability to easily switch between blower and vacuum functions using a large switch, without the need to disassemble or modify the device. In vacuum mode, the aluminum impeller equipped with metal blades effectively shreds collected leaves, reducing their volume by up to 10 times. As a result, the 25-liter collection bag fills much more slowly, reducing work interruptions when cleaning large areas.

• Power Adjustment: Rotational speed is smoothly regulated by the degree of trigger pressure, allowing precise adjustment of air blast force to the type of debris—from delicate feathers to wet leaves.
• Cruise Control Function: The trigger lock lever maintains a constant operating speed without the need to continuously hold the button, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use.
• Safety and Protection: The device features a soft-start function protecting against sudden current surges and an anti-restart safety mechanism that prevents uncontrolled motor startup after power restoration.
• Ergonomics: An additional side handle facilitates stable device handling in both vertical (vacuuming) and horizontal (blowing) positions. The option to attach a shoulder strap further reduces user strain when working with a full bag.

Durability and Technical Performance

XPT (Xtreme Protection Technology) provides enhanced resistance to dust and moisture, which is crucial when working in the challenging atmospheric conditions typical of autumn or spring garden seasons. The motor generates a maximum air blow speed of 64 m/s with an airflow rate of 4.2 m³/min, enabling effective removal of even heavy leaf piles from hard-to-reach areas. A maximum vacuum of 33 mbar ensures efficient material suction through the intake tube.

The device is compatible with a wide range of 18V Li-Ion batteries (capacities from 1.5 Ah to 6.0 Ah), allowing flexible adaptation of runtime to user needs. The standard set includes a 5.0 Ah battery and a charger, enabling immediate work commencement upon unpacking. Low vibration emission (≤ 2.5 m/s²) and the relatively low weight of the tool itself (approx. 3 kg without battery) ensure that operation does not excessively strain the operator's hands. Thanks to the LXT system, this blower-vacuum model integrates with over 350 other Makita tools, making it an ideal choice for professionals with an extensive existing machinery fleet and for home users valuing the versatility of the cordless system. Electronic protections safeguard the battery against overload, overheating, and excessive discharge, extending its charge cycle life.
