on longevity yet but the extra Makita warranty registration gives peace of mind.
Firstly I noted previous reviews couldn’t cut lawn low enough but I’m finding I only use on 4 or 5 setting so maybe Makita’s addressed this earlier issue? For me or any one similar with chronic illness especially related to respiratory system, I believe buying Battey garden equipment is essential.
But even without my condition it’s a winner in so many other areas- quieter, slightly less heavy, easier to push with the large rubber wheels, no smell or fumes when using or storing under house, more pleasant experience so likely to mow more regularly *, Can easily stop and restart when chatting to neighbours or politely turn off when pedestrians or kids nearby, obviously major improvement regarding no fuel, engine air filters Or service worries, this mower is a great mulcher*,
* I haven’t tested yet with super thick grass but it performed well on some high patches, just needed to use the boost function. I’m expecting to mow more regularly during spring season to avoid this. * haven’t used catcher yet but it seems more flimsy than old petrol plastic catcher, the mulch plug also is flimsy in comparison, just need to be mindful when removing and cleaning.
Batteries lasted longer than I expected probably due to low power mode which is very quiet. Did 70% of my block including 400m2 of nature strip, before using a second pair which still had 4 bars when job complete. I bought the Makita as already had purchased other outdoor tools. Definitely buy during promo, I paid $750 and included 4 batteries 5ah, blower skin, plus during oz day promotion at Sydney tools received $100 voucher.

Excellent mower, we only have a front lawn and hubby was struggling with the petrol mower, as we get older, we don’t realise that pushing a mower can… Read more
be a bit painful. This mower came on special with a few freebies, that was even better and it didn’t disappoint. Hubby has a few batteries, so this seemed like the obvious choice. So easy to start and there isn’t much weight to it , the catcher is a great size. As a non mower person , I was exited at the performance and outcome. Thankyou Makita
