This bundle pairs the Makita XBU07Z 18V LXT Brushless Blower / Vacuum Mulcher, Tool Only with the Makita BL1840BDC2X 18V LXT 4.0Ah Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack — two BL1840B 4.0Ah batteries and the DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger — so the blower/vacuum mulcher, which normally ships as a bare tool, arrives ready to run. Model Numbers: XBU07Z (blower/vacuum mulcher), BL1840BDC2X (battery and charger starter pack).

The XBU07Z handles blowing, vacuuming, and mulching in one cordless tool, built around a brushless motor on the Makita 18V LXT platform. In blower mode it delivers up to 143 MPH and 148 CFM for clearing driveways, patios, and garage floors; switched into vacuum mulcher mode it puts out up to 215 CFM with 13 inches of water lift, backed by a metal impeller shredding blade rated at a 10:1 mulch ratio. The 6.6-gallon collection bag, removable wheels, cruise control lever with variable speed trigger, and Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) round out a tool built for routine leaf cleanup on patios, walkways, and planting beds — at a quieter 62 dB(A) than gas equipment.

The BL1840BDC2X starter pack is what makes it ready to use. Two BL1840B 4.0Ah lithium-ion batteries and the DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger ship together, with each battery reaching a full charge in 40 minutes or less. The charger communicates with each battery to monitor current, voltage, and temperature while a built-in fan helps it charge faster; each battery also carries an integrated LED charge level indicator, an impact-resistant case, and Star Protection Computer Controls. Both batteries are rated to deliver power down to -4°F (-20°C) and resist self-discharge in storage between uses.

This is the right pickup for anyone who wants the XBU07Z's 3-in-1 blowing, vacuuming, and mulching but doesn't already have a spare Makita 18V LXT battery and charger on hand — homeowners, property maintenance crews, and Makita LXT users handling routine leaf and yard cleanup on patios, walkways, and smaller properties.

Makita XBU07Z Blower/Vacuum Mulcher + 2×4.0Ah Battery & Charger — Ready to Clean Up From the First Charge

Skip the separate battery purchase — this pairs the 3-in-1 blower/vacuum mulcher with two 4.0Ah packs and a fast charger so it runs right out of the box.

• Who it's for: Homeowners, property maintenance crews, and Makita 18V LXT users who want one cordless tool for blowing, vacuuming, and mulching but don't already have a spare LXT battery and charger.
• Why it stands out: 3-in-1 blow/vacuum/mulch design, a brushless motor, and a quieter 62 dB(A) rating, paired with two 4.0Ah batteries and a 40-minute rapid charger — a complete, ready-to-run cleanup kit in one purchase.
• Worth knowing: This is still a single-battery-at-a-time tool best suited to routine cleanup, not all-day heavy leaf removal on large properties. And while the included BL1840B batteries are Star Protection batteries, Tool Nut's XBU07Z listing doesn't confirm Star Protection status for the tool itself — both batteries will still work across the broader 18V LXT lineup regardless.

• Does this bundle include a battery and charger? Yes. The XBU07Z is normally sold as a bare tool — this bundle adds two BL1840B 4.0Ah batteries and the DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger so it's ready to use.
• Can it switch between blower and vacuum modes? Yes. It converts between blower operation (up to 143 MPH / 148 CFM) and vacuum mulcher operation (up to 215 CFM with 13 inches of water lift).
• How long does it take to charge the included batteries? Each 4.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in 40 minutes or less on the included DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger.
• Will the included batteries work with my other Makita 18V LXT tools? Yes, across the Makita 18V LXT platform — though they're Star Protection batteries, so on other tools check for the Star Symbol or yellow battery receiver before assuming compatibility.
• What's the warranty? The blower/vacuum mulcher, batteries, and charger are all covered by Makita's 3-year limited warranty.
