Makita PM7650H 75.6 cc MM4 4-Stroke Engine Mist Blower

I had bought my first Makita 5 years ago. I had used it for a year and then it sat for 3 years. I brought it back out to use it again and it fired right back up no problem. I continue to use it all year. GPS connected I typically by the steel sr450 or sr200. My guys complain that the Makita is to heavy. What I love about this machine most is its dependability. As long as you change the oil, it's good to go. Never had any problems with this machine except for regular maintenance such as replacing the shoulder straps and solution lines. Also what I love about this machine is the weight distribution of the solution tank. Instead of it being completely at the top like all other machines it is spread out throughout the entire back. For the Stihl Sr 200 I get maybe a year, year and a half out of it. Out of the sr450 same thing. The Makita has outlived all of them and continues to run strong. It's not much heavier than the sr450 oh, but it is heavier. I like it, it's good on the legs. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. The other problem that I had with this is the gasket that goes on the lid for the solution tank comes off. I have had the lid replaced once which came with a new seal and it still falls out here and there. Whenever filling up the tank I just visually check it and if it needs to be pushed back in it takes only a couple seconds. If you don't do this then you will be wearing whatever you put in that tank as it will run down your back. This is standard with any backpack misting machine.

I use this professionally for mosquito management. My favorite things are, choke on, 2 pulls. Choke off starts after 1 pull. Once warmed up it always starts on the 1st pull. Also, having used several backpack misters, what makes this one the best is the tank. Instead of it being over your shoulder, the tank fills from the bottom up at your lower back. The center of gravity is low so it's very easy to carry and its very well balanced. Edit 4/9/25 I've used the mister for 3 seasons for mosquitos services and it's been a rock solid and reliable machine. The only bad thing, the strap just doesn't hold up. I had to use duct tape wrapped around the strap because it started fraying and falling apart. Other than that, it absolutely destroyed the stihl misters in every way.

Awesome. We have used this for about a month and have eliminated mosquitoes and spiders. from around the house. Produces consistent mist volume. Cranks on first pull. Several families went in together and purchased this and all have said the same thing. We are spraying every two weeks right now and have reduced the chemical now to 50% concentration. It is very heavy on the back but it is a commercial machine purpose built . it is a 35 lb machine with the fuel and chemical and it ways around 65 lbs. straps are significant and the tank keeps the center of gravity lower than most machines. So far we are all very happy with it. It will blow the mist up 35-50 feet into the trees.

The machine operates well, however the box came extensively damaged. The machine came with a crack on the hard plastic and missing parts. I was able to use tie straps to fasten the liquid shutoff valve. I would never purchase from this seller again.

Not sure what else to say, this is the best fogger made. No fuel/oil mixing, it's quiet, powerful, and reliable!

As noted elsewhere this weighs a solid 50 lbs when full. Once the weight is on your back it's not bad, but trekking up and down steep hills will wear you out. The unit is extremely well engineered. This is not something where Makita engineers shoehorned their MM4 engine into a blower and slapped on a solution tank. Center of mass is nice and low, solution tank is integral to the assembly, and the plumbing works perfectly. Mist functions are excellent. I treated 2 acres of deeper grass with 15 gallons of solution in 2 hours... That's 5 tanks, so have a good mixing station set up. Spray pattern is good and horizontal distance was a reliable 30 ft, though I'm happy to walk to get thorough coverage. Make sure to kill the flow switch before shutting down for a refill. Other than Amazon's problematic shipping polices to Puerto Rico, which I eventually got around, I'm happy with the purchase, which I'd damn well better be for $800.

It is heavy and the design is such that it is quite deep with a center of gravity that is far away from your back. When you put it on your back it pulls down and back, to walk up stairs you have to bend forward so it does not pull you backwards. I compare it to the Stihl sr 450, which is better balanced and easier to wear. I have used booth. I bought the Makita because i use it indoors. The Stihl is a little more powerful, better built and better engineered. It is also louder and smellier and can be a pain to start. It is 2 stroke. But you can use it or wear it for a couple hours in reasonable comfort. Pros of the Makita, easy to start, quiet at idle, but a full throtle it is loud. 4 stroke ! powerful. Cons, weight is poorly distributed,this it makes uncomfortable to use, maybe flimsy construction, have not had it long enough to see if there are breakdowns. The Stihl is more of a commercial product. I would only recommend buying the Makita if having 4 stroke is the determining factor.

Dudo que vuelvo a realizar una comprar corporativa debido a que no puedes solicitad la facturación desde el inicio de la comprar. Tienes que esperar hasta la confirmación del envió con una tolerancia de cinco días para pedirlo lo cual me parece muy enredado.

It does have the Makita quality to it, it's heavy for sure but I knew that before buying it. It does the job perfectly with absolutely no exhaust smell which is what I wanted. 3 additional nozzles help with applying your chemical , it could use one in the middle of the three so I just drilled one a little bigger. Range is around 20 to 30 feet for spray distance. 4 stroke engine is noisy but easy to pull/start compared to the 2 strokes.

Worked great until it wouldn’t go above idle. No idle screw, plastic components. Waste of money
