Makita is expanding the line of cordless OPE to include the 18V x2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) 18” lawn mower. With zero emissions, lower noise & reduced maintenance, The 18V x2 (36V) cordless Lawn Mower is a welcome solution for efficient grass cutting. It’s powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum power & run time, but without leaving the 18V battery platform. The Makita-built motor deliversup to 3, 300 rpm. The mower offers ease-of-use features including quick height adjustments, A 16 gallon capacity grass collector, & folding handles for compact storage. The lawn mower features Makita extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool, & is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water & dust from key internal components. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working & less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance & extended battery life, Makita created Star protection Computer controls. Star protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool & battery to exchange data in real time & monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging & overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT & compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol on the battery indicating Star protection inside.

Having invested heavily in the Makita LXT lineup (about 8 other tools), and generally being impressed with their products, this was a natural choice. I really wanted to like this mower, and on paper it seemed like it would be perfect, but after about a full season of use, I am having trouble recommending it due to light duty build quality and underpowered design.UPDATE: two seasons in, I am dropping the review to 2 stars as the overall…
