The Makita CBU02Z 40V max ConnectX™ Brushless Backpack Blower is a professional-grade cordless outdoor power solution designed for landscaping, commercial grounds maintenance, municipal cleanup, and heavy-duty outdoor debris removal. Engineered to replace gas-powered backpack blowers, it delivers high-performance airflow with lower noise, zero emissions, and significantly reduced maintenance requirements.
Powered by a Makita-built Brushless Motor, this backpack blower delivers performance equivalent to a 64cc gas blower, producing up to 671 CFM air volume and 160 MPH air velocity. It generates a high blowing force of 22 Newtons, making it suitable for demanding cleanup tasks such as wet leaves, heavy debris, and large outdoor areas.
The tube-mounted variable speed trigger allows airflow adjustment from 0 to 671 CFM, enabling precise power and runtime control depending on application needs. A cruise control lever provides continuous operation comfort, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The in-line fan design improves balance and handling for better operator control.
Designed for professional use, the blower features a 3-stage telescoping nozzle that adjusts for user height and working conditions, improving reach and reducing arm strain. The ergonomic backpack harness with waist belt ensures operator comfort during long work sessions, while the rubberized soft grip enhances handling stability.
Built for durability in harsh environments, the CBU02Z includes IPX4 weather-resistant construction and Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which helps protect internal components from dust and moisture exposure. The tool also features a handle-mounted power switch for easy startup while wearing the unit, along with tool-less handle adjustment for added convenience.
The blower is compatible with the Makita ConnectX™ 1,200Wh backpack power supply system (sold separately), delivering extended runtime of over 4 hours for continuous professional use.
With powerful airflow, ergonomic backpack design, and advanced cordless technology, the Makita CBU02Z ConnectX Backpack Blower is ideal for professional landscapers, contractors, and large-scale outdoor maintenance operations.
