This is a cordless handheld blower designed for fall leaf cleanup and general yard debris removal, and it ships with the vacuum attachment kit (1916T9-0) and a flat nozzle (197889-6) so it is ready for blowing or vacuuming out of the box. Model number GBU03ZV is sold as a tool only; batteries and charger are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn blower mode, the Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 487 CFM of air volume and up to 152 MPH of air speed, rated at 16 newtons of blowing force. That is enough air to push dry leaves and grass clippings off driveways, sidewalks, patios and lawns. A cruise control lever works with the variable speed trigger, so you can dial in a lower setting around delicate beds or lock in full output for open areas, and a speed lock keeps it running continuously without holding the trigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch to vacuum mode and the tool pulls leaves into a shredding blade with a 10:1 mulch ratio, meaning up to 10 bags of loose leaves can be reduced to 1. The collection bag holds up to 1.4 bushels and uses a dual-zipper design for easier emptying. Makita tuned the suction for fallen leaf cleanup in plant beds without lifting the stone and rock settings around them, which is where a lot of vacuums cause more mess than they clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-inch telescoping nozzle uses a lock-in-place twist ring, so you can adjust its length and keep air working at ground level. A rubberized soft grip adds comfort during longer cleanups. The noise level is rated at 97 dB(A), measured per EN IEC 62841-4-6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GBU03ZV is part of the Makita 40V max XGT lithium-ion system. If you already run XGT drills, saws or outdoor tools, the same batteries power this blower. If you are new to XGT, plan on buying at least one 40V max XGT battery and a compatible charger, since neither is in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blower is a fit for homeowners with leafy yards, property maintenance crews who want one cordless tool for blowing and vacuuming, and anyone who wants to cut down on the number of leaf bags hauled to the curb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClear Leaves Off Lawns and Walks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/0159\/4403\/files\/Makita-GBU03ZV_14_83ae9c53-937f-41fb-bb7c-41dd95b3d31b.jpg?v=1784925127\" alt=\"Makita GBU03ZV 40V max XGT blower clearing fallen leaves across a residential lawn in blower mode\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlower mode is built for the big fall push: moving leaf piles across a lawn and clearing hard surfaces fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 487 CFM air volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 152 MPH air speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 newtons of blowing force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-vacuum\" class=\"acc flip\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVacuum and Mulch in One Pass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/0159\/4403\/files\/Makita-GBU03ZV_12_fee34539-1092-49cf-98c0-c6b27a8f4029.jpg?v=1784925127\" alt=\"Makita GBU03ZV cordless blower in vacuum mode picking up leaves from a sidewalk into the collection bag\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacuum mode pulls leaves through a shredding blade so the bag fills far more slowly than with loose leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10:1 mulch ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.4-bushel collection bag with dual-zipper disposal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuction tuned to pick up leaves without lifting landscape rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-control\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eControl That Saves Battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/0159\/4403\/files\/Makita-GBU03ZV_09_814a5e5e-4938-49ed-ab7e-cdcb08d03181.jpg?v=1784925126\" alt=\"Hands gripping the Makita GBU03ZV 40V max XGT blower with a 40V battery installed\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning at full power when you do not need it drains packs.
