## Description

Powerful cordless blower with variable speed control, 3 air volume settings, and vacuum function. Compact and lightweight design for easy single-handed operation.

Review: Great blower,pretty powerful - Plenty of power as a blower,not great at hoovering bit awesome blower for the size and price,great for anybody in all trades or around the garden
Review: Size doesn't matter. Great blower. - Bought this as others as already in the 18v Makita tools rabbit hole. This maybe small, but does pack a punch - using it for garage workshop. Blowing off sawdust etc from projects, floor and tools. Lightweight, good size and well built, so should last a while. Happy has three speed settings as high is creating a dust cloud in garage. I only really use the first two as more than enough for required. Others note the length of the nozzle but think this is perfect even outside. I was choosing between the DUB185 and the DUB186 with longer nozzle. These are the same machine, but the longer nozzle decreases the air velocity to 68m/s as apposed to 98m/s for the 185. If i feel i need a longer nozzle for say the garden or reach, you can buy it for £12. But blowing debris of driveway, had no issue with shorter nozzle and using 5amp battery. Overall, wish i had got sooner and recommend.

*by K***H on 12 November 2025*

Excellent product. Small yet powerful. I recommend getting the nozzle extension though. Even shifts piles of saturated leaves. Battery life was surprisingly good, given the amount of saturated leaves I was shifting.
