                  The gears for the self propulsion are made of plastic and one side broke on the third use

                  Wimpy Welds on the Bag Frame
                  Wimpy welds on the bag frame also terrible design. The bag frame broke. Weak drill batteries. Low power and torque. Do not buy these products. Get yourself a quality product like EGO.

                    Blade bent on first mow. Now this $1000 Makita mower is worthless and everywhere is out of stock on new blades. So I bought a Honda. Watching money flow out of my bank account is so much fun.

                    Aside from a cracked battery cover when received, the machine is wonderful. Battery life is exceptional. Mower is extremely quiet, so I can mow ob Sundays, which is normally a no-no.

                    Easy to use, the noise level is much lower than that of a combustion engine. The battery barely lasts for half an acre, though, so you may need another pair.

                    Performance was not what I expected from a Makita product. If I wanted to mow the lawn three times a week I might choose this mower but the price vs performance was really mismatched. To be clear, I own lots of Makita corded and cordless tools. This was a huge disappointment.
