Makita DUB361Z Review

The Makita DUB361Z Cordless Blower is a quick, easy and powerful means of clearing leaves and other debris from lawns, patios, drives, garages, garden decks, and more. It achieves this with a maximum air speed of 335km/h and an air volume of up to 4.4 cubic metres per minute. The air speed can be changed with an easy to reach switch.

The Makita DUB361Z is cordless. You can manoeuvre it without being pulled back by a power cable and also not have to find a nearby power socket. It takes twin 18V (36V) lithium-ion batteries which are commonly used for power tools. In case you already have suitable batteries, the batteries and charger are sold separately. We like the design of the blowing tube, namely its curved nozzle tip.
