            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.

                The quality of cut was very nice however this unit is really good for very small and very well maintained smooth lawns

                This mower is not designed for large yards or anything close to serious lawn work. It does perform exactly as intended to keep small yards groomed. It’s light, easy to operate & efficient enough with battery power to get the job done. However….It uses blade speed to cut, but low blade weight and inertia keeps it from making super clean cuts that you may be used to as one would expect with standard gas or heavier duty electric. Although convenient, I also don’t think the value warrants the high cost.

                Good quality mower compared to my previous one - from Worx. Works great, good battery, easy to clean and maintain. Mulch plug had to be bought separately.
