Motor power and airflow
The blower uses a brushless motor originally intended for model aircraft. At its maximum speed of up to 300,000 rpm, it is designed to produce an intense stream of air through the nozzle. The stated power rating is 3,000 W, but it is not specified whether this is input or output power, or which battery version it applies to.
The stated maximum air speed is 400 m/s. This is higher than the speed of sound in air under normal conditions, and the measurement method and conditions are not given. A blowing force of 2 kg is also stated, without specifying the force unit or measurement method. This figure therefore cannot reliably tell you how heavy an object the blower can move.
The airflow can be used to blow away dirt or material as needed, for example in a workshop, garden or when working on models. Wear eye protection and do not direct the airflow at people or animals.
Batteries and power versions
The blower is compatible with Makita 18 V Li-ion batteries, including the BL1830, BL1840 and BL1850. The minimum recommended capacity is 4.0 Ah, while 6.0 Ah is recommended for optimal performance. Compatibility with the BL1830 does not mean it meets the recommendation to use a battery of at least 4.0 Ah.
Versions powered by one or two batteries exist, so check the configuration before choosing one. Battery capacity affects runtime, but an exact runtime is not stated. The available information also does not specify which performance figures apply to each version.
Construction and controls
The body is made from highly durable plastic that resists high temperatures. The plastic construction also helps keep the blower light enough to carry; its exact weight is not stated.
The blower has simple controls and an ergonomic handle that makes it easier to hold during longer jobs. Battery power lets you carry it between work areas without a power cord.
