Best 36V Leaf Blowers (2026)

Makita's XBU02PT shows why a dual-battery system works. Two 18V LXT batteries in series supply 36V to a brushless motor that delivers up to 120 MPH and 473 CFM, a balanced pair of figures that moves both volume and speed. The 28 minute claim is at mid-speed, so expect less at full power.

The 61 dB(A) rating is notable because it is stated as measured per the ANSI B175.2 standard, which gives you a comparable noise figure instead of a marketing adjective. Compared with the other blowers in this lineup that quote only CFM and MPH, this is the most transparent spec sheet.

The same blower also ships as a tool-only unit for people who own batteries, and it uses 18V LXT packs that run a huge Makita tool range. Keep the intake clear and store the batteries indoors in cold weather.

The XBU04PTV is the same 473 CFM, 120 MPH blower with a vacuum and mulching attachment, making it a three-in-one tool. The 10:1 mulch ratio means ten bags of leaves reduce to about one, which cuts disposal trips in autumn.

Switching to vacuum mode changes the airflow path and adds a collection bag, and the shredding blade chops leaves as they pass through. That is useful for gardeners who compost or mulch leaves into beds.

Compared with the XBU02PT, you give up some weight and simplicity for versatility. Check the bag is emptied often because a full bag chokes the vacuum. Store the attachment dry.

Husqvarna's 350iB uses one large battery to feed a brushless motor, with claimed wind speeds up to 200 MPH and 800 CFM. Those are the highest figures in this lineup and are quoted as maximums, so treat them as best-case numbers.

A keypad starts the blower, and cruise control holds speed so your finger is not on a trigger the whole time. The kit includes a 7.5Ah BLi30 battery and charger, and Husqvarna claims a weight advantage of about 15 percent compared with similar blowers.

It is a single-battery machine, so the battery fits the Husqvarna 36V platform, not Makita or Milwaukee. The brand has a strong dealer network. Keep the intake clear and store the battery indoors.

The Mayoki is a bare tool that runs on two Makita 18V batteries in series, delivering 36V. It claims up to 570 CFM and 145 MPH with a turbo mode, higher than Makita's own 473 CFM and 120 MPH, which should invite caution since a third-party tool claims more than the maker's own blower on the same batteries.

Its mid-mounted brushless motor and balanced center of gravity are designed to reduce fatigue, and a large 9 cm outlet moves more air per pass. Three speeds plus turbo give control.

It makes sense only for people who already own Makita 18V batteries. There is no shared warranty with the battery maker. Check the packs seat firmly and keep the intake clear.

This blower runs on two Milwaukee M18 batteries in series and claims up to 850 CFM and 200 MPH. Those figures are far above Makita's 473 CFM, and a small brushless motor on 36V is unlikely to deliver that much air, so treat them as marketing maximums.

A variable speed trigger, cruise control and a turbo button give control, and a non-scratch rubber nozzle lets you dry a car without marring the paint. That is a sensible add-on.

It is a bare tool, and the savings depend on the Milwaukee batteries you own. There is no shared warranty. Keep the intake clear.
