Constituting 15 percent of the total score, our ergonomics metric came next in terms of significance. Features vacuum kit for collecting fallen leaves and second handle on base to enable machine to be held sideways for ease of use.This battery leaf blower also did well in our real-world testing, clearing our trash can's worth of leaves from our yard in just under one minute. We rated and ranked each product based on its measured airflow and air velocity, two crucial industry benchmarks. The Makita 36V LXT gives a strong performance across the board, using two separate five amp-hour batteries to move more air and achieve a longer runtime than most 18V battery blowers.

The Makita scored above average when we used a pitot tube and anemometer to measure the cubic feet per minute (CFM) and miles per hour (mph). This score is based on how balanced the 36V LXT Brushless is, how its grip feels, where its air intake vent is, and how much it weighs.

Provide a market leading cordless blower / vacuum that is the equivalent of a 25cc engine petrol blower / vacuum. The commercial design allows the blower to tackle demanding applications, comparable to gas blowers.
