Excellent value for an outstanding mower that exceeds expectations. Assembly was quick and easy and mower is more than enough for our average sized lawn.

The lawnmower worked perfectly on my initial use. What a great, uniform cut, especially in November here in Buffalo, New York. It stayed charged and I was amazed by the speed control on the unit. It was a great investment!

The lawn mower works well, but I was expecting it to be a little better. It is very light, and of course really quiet compared to our gas mower. My only complaint is that you have to cut pretty slow even though it's on the fastest setting. And I don't think it will be able to handle longer grass, so you can't let your yard get too overgrown.

1st electric mower
First electric mower for Me. I have a small front yard and a medium sized back yard. It’s hard to use the drive function in the front yard, with the tight turns. I’m sure as I get used to it it will be fine. Cuts like a champ and has a ton of power. I’m on about a 1/4 acre and I use maybe 3/4 of 1 set of batteries per cut.

Terrible axles
The height adjustment is nice but it makes the front wheels act as if they are on shocks. Any slight bounce or bump the mower bounces into your lawn and scalps it. Great power. Awkward weight.

    Great machine, but I absolutely love that it comes with four 5-amp batteries that I can also use with my other Makita tools when I’m not using the mower.

    Expensive, but a quality mower
    I just used it for the first time today. It’s solid (a little heavier than I expected, but it has a heavy gauge steel deck). The variable speed self propelled works great. The deck height adjustment goes quite high, which was nice because I was mowing new sod for the first time and it was pretty high. The mower cuts nicely and I was able to cut my front and side yards - about a fifth of an acre - on just two of the four batteries.

      The several second delay when engaging the self propel feature is annoying. Otherwise, a quality product, well made.

      Makita SUCKS
      I spent $1,300 on a Makita mower, weedeater and blower. I was in the middle of a move so wasn't able to immediately unpack and use it, passing my 30 day return window. When I did unbox it, all bolts and screws were missing to put the mower together. I ended up having to buy a couple bolts and use zip ties to complete setting it up. Charged all four batteries, put the key in and started it. It started, then died. Died IMMEDIATELY. Never to start again.

        Pros: I already own other Makita 18volt Li-Ion Products, runs quiet, able to do my yard with 2 batteries on 1 charge, Single lever height adjustment, ample bag capacity, variable self propelled speed, real rubber wheels for better traction and quiet on hard surfaces( and uses ball bearings for the smoothest roll. Cons: Overall length with the handle is too long( difficult to maneuver in tight spaces). Pricey $$$$$. Would have kept it, but the maneuverability issue was a definite deal breaker for my application.

        I wanted to like this but..
        This started out working well for a larger yard. It got through the first few summer mows no issue--when you mow every 10-14 days or every weekend because you have time. Once the rain got regular and the grass grew fast and needed weekly mowing, constant stalls and having to clear the grass by hand. The side attachment couldn't push the grass out, and left clumps everywhere. Switched to the bagger, and that was worse. Little grass got into it. Quiet operation turned very loud in these cases.
