23-48 | Makita XBU04 36v 18x2 Brushless 3 in 1 leaf blower vacuum mulcher review |

[@chengyeliu-en5pn]

great intro! the best one so far :D one quick question, how does it handle stones? would it hurt the blade?

[@TheOknidius]

Thanks for the detailed video! This one looks like it sucks up leaves much better than the other cordless battery-powered ones I've seen from Ryobi (they have 2 versions), Sun Joe, Greenworks or Black & Decker.

I have the Ryobi 40v brushed model and it's pretty decent. Not bad for a seasonal use machine. My main gripe is that Ryobi puts cheaper cells in their 40v batteries, which overheat and refuse to charge. All you can do is wait for what feels like ages, for the battery to cool down and start charging. Makita definitely offers a superior battery platform, but it's more costly to buy into.

Do you remember how the high pitch the sound is when just using it as a blower compared to other similar spec leaf blowers? I don't mind them being loud but some screech pretty bad. Hoping this one doesn't because of the large side turbine.

This one is more of a lower hum, vs a high pitched screech from some of the other kinds. It's more air volume and less air speed with this blower / mulcher

Ryobi makes one but from what I hear it’s useless
