Makita DUB187Z 18V LXT Brushless Blower/Vacuum - Tool Only

The tool uses a dual-function lever to switch between blower and vacuum modes. In blower mode, you direct the airflow to clear debris. In vacuum mode, debris is sucked into the 25L dust bag. It features metal shredder blades for mulching leaves and twigs, reducing volume before disposal.

It offers a variable speed range of 0–18,000 RPM, maximum air volume of 3.9 m³/min, and air velocity of up to 64 m/s in blower mode. The tool uses a 25L dust bag for collection and mulching, weighs about 3.7 kg, and operates with Makita 18V LXT Li‑ion batteries. Noise level is rated at 94.3 dB(A).

The vacuum mode draws debris into a 25L dust bag through a large inlet. The mulching system uses metal shredder blades to break down leaves and twigs, reducing the material volume for easier disposal, with the bag designed for easy emptying via a zipper.

The DUB187Z is compatible with Makita 18V LXT Li‑Ion batteries. Runtime will vary based on battery capacity and task intensity; using a higher‑capacity battery will generally extend run time, while lighter batteries may reduce overall usage time between charges.

The blower operates around 94.3 dB(A). For safety and comfort, wear hearing protection (earmuffs or earplugs), safety glasses, and gloves. Use in open or well-ventilated outdoor areas to minimize noise impact on others.

It's best suited for clearing leaves, dust, and lightweight debris from driveways, decks, sidewalks, and lawns, as well as collecting debris into a bag for disposal. The mulching feature helps reduce the volume of collected material for easier disposal.

After use, empty the dust bag and inspect the inlet for blockages. Clean the exterior and ensure the blades are free of debris. Store with the battery removed and in a cool, dry place. Periodically check for damaged parts and follow the user manual for maintenance intervals.

Operate in dry outdoor areas away from people and pets. Keep hair, clothing, and loose items away from the blower intake. Never use the vacuum on liquids or extremely dusty conditions without proper PPE, and stop the tool before clearing jams or performing maintenance.

Consider the dual functionality (blower and vacuum with mulching), the 25L dust bag, brushless motor efficiency, weight, noise level, and battery compatibility. These features collectively contribute to convenient outdoor cleanup with modular, cord-free operation.

Two available Makita 18V LXT blower/vacuum alternatives on Fepy are Makita DUB184Z and Makita DUB182Z. They offer similar cordless blower/vacuum functionality with shared features like dual-mode operation and mulching, but may differ in weight, runtime, and minor design details.
