5.0 out of 5 stars 4 STROKE IS THE WAY TO GO!
We bought this to clear snow off our Lexus Dealerships lot cars. It works great and the fact that there is no gas oil mix is the sole reason we bought it. The valets only have to add gas so they can't mess it up!

1.0 out of 5 stars A HORRIBLE BLOWER
Paid nearly 500.00 for this blower. My experience,,Bought Blower used for two months.Treated it so delicate too and maintained..Key word here is two months..Than it died one day ! No reason..Brought it to a MAKITA Authorized shop..Who really dont even know how to fix them but they are where you have to bring it to get warranty..


Well they had it...

1.0 out of 5 stars A HORRIBLE BLOWER, November 24, 2009
This review is from: Makita BBX7600 Commercial Grade 75.6cc 4-Stroke Gas-Powered 195 mph Backpack Blower (Lawn & Patio)
Paid nearly 500.00 for this blower. My experience,,Bought Blower used for two months.Treated it so delicate too and maintained..Key word here is two months..Than it died one day ! No reason..Brought it to a MAKITA Authorized shop..Who really dont even know how to fix them but they are where you have to bring it to get warranty..


Well they had it another two months,with me calling every few days..Than low and behold they call one day and say its all ready and they put a new carb on..Well i thought great so I go to use it and it works for 1 1/2 minutes than dies again... So I am disgusted now and it looks like a LEMON of a design..I know this because I have been using power equipment for twenty years and know this routuine of repair repair repair ,,marching off to dealers getting it fixed nonstop..Is this right? No it should just run...... Well its now apart in my garage the Einstiens forgot to put the gaskets back so I am thinking this is the problem..Well I order them from makita authorized shop and he says ok takes order and it has been 3 months now and nothing ! Wonderfull experience..

I WILL NEVER BUY A MAKITA PRODUCT AGAIN.I could care less if their power tools are decent the fact is they rushed worthless garbage to market in this blower that has massive design flaws ,,their makita authorized shops have no idea how to fix them and their parts network is dreadfull ! THEY HAVE AN ATTITUDE LIKE OK WE SOLD YOU THE BLOWER GOOD LUCK AND THEY WASH THEIR HANDS.

Avoid this blower...A note I think I have the carb compliant model. But does this mean there parts network,service dealers and the engine are ok? Hardly all a DISASTER ! What do I do with the pile of shiny new parts in my garage? I am not going to get caught up racing off to get the thing fixed every few days and have it sit in shop 2 months at a time than.

I am so sickened by Makita that I recently had to buy a power saw and grinder and saw Makita all over home depo I bought another brand needless to say in both cases !
