About This Product

Makita is expanding the line of cordless outdoor power equipment to include the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless 17" Residential Lawn Mower Kit (XML05PT). With zero emissions, lower noise and reduced maintenance, the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless Residential Lawn Mower is a welcome solution for efficient grass cutting. It's powered by two 18V LXT Batteries. The 4-bay battery system holds 4 batteries for twice the run time, but without leaving the 18V battery platform. The Makita-built motor delivers up to 3,600 RPM for faster cutting. The compact 18" deck is ideal for detailed landscaping and the 17" cutting width provides optimal performance. The mower has a single lever that quickly adjusts the cutting height (13/16" - 3"). A soft start provides smooth start-ups and longer gear life. Other features include ball bearings for a smoother drive, rubberized soft grip handle for comfort. The lawn mower features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.

    Is this the same as the XBU05Z only with a longer tube? The XBU05Z states speeds of 219 mph while this model states 152mph. It looks like i could use the longer tube (191G09-6) on the XBU05Z and have the faster speed with the longer tube? Or not?

                  It's ok, but kinda wimpier than I expect from Makita.
                  I ordered this item via the Home Depot website for delivery. I was sent a unit that clearly had been returned. It had not been used, but the hardware bag was opened, and the few knobs and screws were floating around loose in the box, the manual was partially damaged because of bad repacking... This was an unhappy start to my first day with my new over-priced mower, but that is a failure of HD, not of Makita. Ultimately everything needed was present so I assembled and went to use it, only to find out both 5ah batteries were shipped flat dead. I put them on the charger and they are fine, not sure why no charge. The mower gets good duration out of the batteries. It cuts fine, it is easy to use by virtue of being light. Power is its biggest downfall. While it can get the job done it requires patience. It bogs easily in heavier grass. At half the price it would have been a 5 star machine. But at nearly $600, its not great. Had I not already been so deep in Makita's battery ecosystem, I probably would have gone with something else. But, I own a lot of LXT powered blue tools, and I don't need someone another type of battery to keep track of, so I went with team blue.

                    Poor performance and poor build quality
                    Makita should be ashamed for making a product this poor. The screw for tightening the handle bar was broken upon 2nd use and the front wheel mount would bent from just brushing against the lawn fence. Not to mention the machine would often jam up from grass that’s even a tiny bit wet…. This is even with 2x 6Ah batteries that I have for my other Makita tools. I am getting a Milwaukee mower next. Shame on you Makita.
