Pros

Starts at the first pul and works like a charm. This seems to be a good unit but it tends to be hard to start.

It's bit pricey, but it worth to buy, especially if you have large backyard.

Shipping

Unit arrived on time in good condition.

Competitiveness


I would recommend this blower and other makita 4-cycle products !


The main reason i bought this when makita came out with it was for the four stroke engine, its weight, and the adjustable throt...  Read More


I like honda products, but they don't have a traditional leaf blower, so makita, while a little more money, will last a long time.

    It loses power when the engine gets very hot

    This may be an issue with professional landscapers working non stop for hours but for a homeowner only using it for ten minutes at a time it’s not a problem
