Product Description

Makita 18V Brushless Blower Vacuum (DUB187 Range)

The Makita 18V Brushless Blower Vacuum (DUB187) is a highly versatile, all-in-one outdoor maintenance solution that provides exceptional blowing and vacuuming performance in a lightweight cordless package. Powered by the reliable 18V LXT Lithium-Ion platform, this tool features a high-efficiency Brushless motor that delivers a maximum air speed of 230km/h and an impressive vacuuming air volume of 6.1m³/min. Designed for absolute convenience, switching between blowing and vacuuming modes is completely seamless—requiring only a simple lever adjustment, with no need to constantly remove or reattach bulky tubes and bags.

Engineered to maximize efficiency and reduce user strain, the DUB187 incorporates integrated shredder blades that mulch leaves and twigs as they pass through, drastically increasing the effective capacity of the included 25L collection bag. Operator comfort is a primary focus, featuring a variable speed trigger with a cruise control lever, allowing you to lock in the desired airflow and minimize finger fatigue during long jobs. Furthermore, the addition of front guide wheels takes the weight off the user, enabling comfortable, single-handed operation over extended periods.

Ideal For:

  • Landscapers & Gardeners: Quickly shift from blowing debris into piles to vacuuming and mulching it, significantly reducing cleanup time.
  • Residential Maintenance: Perfect for clearing driveways, patios, and lawns. The mulching function reduces bulky leaves into compost-ready material.
  • Facility Managers: The quiet operation and lightweight design (just 4.0kg with battery) make it ideal for maintaining commercial courtyards and pathways.

Key Features:

  • High-Efficiency Brushless Motor: Maximizes runtime while delivering a max air speed of 230km/h at up to 13,500rpm.
  • One-Touch Function Change: Instantly switch between blower and vacuum modes with a single lever—no changing of pipes or bags required.
  • Integrated Shredder Blades: Sharpened metal blades mulch debris before it enters the bag, optimizing the 25L capacity and reducing disposal frequency.
  • Variable Speed & Cruise Control: The responsive trigger allows for precise power delivery, while the cruise control lever lets you lock the speed to reduce hand fatigue.
  • Ergonomic Wheel Support: Front wheels rest on the ground to support the weight of the tool, allowing for comfortable, single-handed operation.
  • 25L Collection Bag: Features a secure clip for easy attachment and a convenient bottom zipper for fast, mess-free emptying.

Available Variations:

  • DUB187Z: Tool Only (Skin) - No batteries or charger included.
  • DUB187T003 Kit: Includes the Blower Vacuum, 1x 18V 5.0Ah Battery (BL1850B), and 1x Single Port Optimum Charger (DC18SD).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the DUB187Z and the DUB187T003?

The DUB187Z is the 'Skin Only' version, supplied without a battery or charger. The DUB187T003 is the complete kit, which includes the Blower Vacuum unit, one 18V 5.0Ah LXT battery, and a standard charger.

How do I switch from blowing to vacuuming?

Unlike traditional blower vacs that require you to detach the blow tube and manually attach a separate vacuum tube, the DUB187 features a built-in selector lever. You simply flick the lever to reverse the airflow instantly.

Does it shred the leaves as it vacuums?

Yes. It is equipped with an internal shredder blade. As leaves and grass clippings are sucked into the machine, they are mulched down into tiny pieces before entering the bag, drastically maximizing the bag's capacity.

Is the machine heavy to hold?

It is surprisingly lightweight (approx. 4.0 kg with the battery). Furthermore, it includes a shoulder strap and front guide wheels, allowing you to rest the machine on the ground and simply roll it along, completely eliminating arm strain.

What is the cruise control feature?

Instead of holding the trigger tightly for long periods (which causes hand fatigue), the cruise control lever allows you to set and lock the throttle at your desired speed, letting you sweep or vacuum comfortably without squeezing.

Can I vacuum up small rocks or gravel?

No. Vacuuming up hard, dense objects like rocks, thick branches, or heavy gravel will severely damage or shatter the internal mulching blade. It is designed strictly for leaves, grass, and light organic debris.

How long will it run on a single charge?

Runtime depends on the suction/blow speed used. When utilizing a fully charged 18V 6.0Ah battery on the maximum power setting, it provides approximately 14 minutes of continuous operation.

Do I need to empty the bag frequently?

The collection bag holds 25 Litres. Because the internal blade shreds the leaves before they enter the bag, the 25L capacity holds a surprisingly large volume of raw organic material.

Do you offer trade pricing for commercial landscapers?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides volume pricing and trade accounts for professional landscaping contractors, municipalities, and facility management teams. Contact us to establish your account.
