Product Information

We tested a range of corded and cordless leaf blowers and vacuums, using them in different areas of the garden and in both dry and wet weather, to help you find the right one for your garden. Each has a detailed list of pros and cons for clarity and has been rated according to ease of use, handling, performance, and value for money. Every leaf blower and vacuum in our round up has scored a minimum of four out of five stars, so you can buy with confidence. When you switch on the leaf blower the sound resembles a hairdryer, and even on the top setting it only reaches “crazy hairdryer” in volume. This helps if you don’t want to annoy close neighbours. The Makita DUB186 18v LXT cordless leaf blower follows on from the popular DUB183 model, but provides approximately 20% more power from the same form.

Makita DUB186Z 18v Cordless Garden Leaf Blower Lithium Ion

Designed to run with very little noise pollution and 0 harmful emissions to make working around this machine more comfortable and making it more neighbor friendly. To start, simply push the button and use the trigger to control the speed of air. Mulching blades - Metal blades are tougher than plastic, as well as more durable, so are the preferable choice. There are four red indicator lights on the battery – not the charger – to indicate the state of charge. The fan on the DC18RC charger makes a low hum and battery charge took one and a half hours. We managed 14 minutes run-time on low speed. For more time you can invest in bigger-capacity batteries – although, if you have yourself a collection of Makita tools, then you can just swap out the battery as you go, too.On the lowest setting, the Makita DUB183Z can barely move a piece of tissue paper over a floor, so this would make it ideal for blowing light dust across a workshop floor. Its variable-speed trigger means it’s useful for any tasks requiring steady, gentle power, such as clearing grass clippings off a path.
