    All my shop portable tools are DW 20 volt, so I ventured outside the shop and have the small chainsaw for lopping and limbing, the weed eater and the hedge clippers. I have a lawn service so no mower (yet). All of them are excellent. I love being able to keep one platform for shop and yard. I’m sure the Makita mower is good too. Li ion has brought us a long way.

    Nice review, the mower seems decent but has some real drawbacks that would keep me from even considering it. The lack of a mulching blade is probably #1, why have a mulching plug without a mulching blade? My town doesn't accept grass clippings so it's either mulch or compost myself, for others using the bagger would be usable but leaving full size clippings on the lawn doesn't look good. The smaller size deck and low height adjustment are the other turn offs for me. The smaller deck I could let go but the limited height adjustment is another deal breaker, I routinely mow at 4" and my lawn has been much healthier since I started mowing tall. A better folding handle would be a nice touch, but my current gas mower is also difficult to fold so I end up leaving it in position all season. The battery gauge on the handle is a nice touch, and the deck height adjustment looks to be about as easy as it could get.

    • @miklossz
      @miklossz 4 года назад +1

      I checked the clippings after mulching with this mower and they were quite small, way smaller than full size. I can't compare mulch quality with many mowers, but it seems to be at least decent.

    I bought the Ego 21" self propelled mower this year. Very pricey, but seems to be top of the line. The 18" Makita seemed too small for me.
    The Ego has a lever to fold the handle down, instead of the four knobs Makita has.

    • @PlumCraZRT
      @PlumCraZRT 5 лет назад +4

      I replied elsewhere also... Makita specified blade diameter, which compares very closely to competitors' 20" deck (which the diameter of the metal cover, not the blade). Actually a much better spec to provide, but hard to compare to others. Honestly, unless you have an enormous lawn, this is probably the difference of one extra pass.

    factual mistake - IPx4 means not certified against dust ingress ("x" in the first position) and certified resistance against water splashes with limited ingress ("4" in the second position). Not sure if you don't know or intentionaly lie to promote the product. I agree that certified water protection implies at least some dust protection, but there is no guarantee for that. And thats a big difference.

    • @ursinodepeluche
      @ursinodepeluche 3 года назад +1

      We have had the same mower for two years. In case that the lawn is either too dense or too high, we switch off the silent mode. Depending on the measured current consumption, then the motor raises its speed from 2500 to around 3200 or 3300 rounds per minute, hence it should be moved forward in a slower way. Eventually the mower can even handle higher grass. If the current exceeds despite of that a certain limit, e.g. the motor gets blocked by an obstacle, the motor will be switched off immediately, and there’s an indication by a red LED. Usually, the mower can be re-started without delay, since the over-current protection prevents that any items run hot by reacting in a fast way.

    If you don't already have a nice lawn that you mow every 4-5 days, battery mowers just aren't there yet. A weed filled water grass yard that hasn't been knocked down in 8-10 days will trip the thermal protection in 150-200 feet.

      Looks to me like that wasn't measured to the blade, but to the bottom of the deck. Blade seemed to be recessed over an inch.
      I could be wrong of course. Maybe it's 2 inches due to the power restrictions from their system. Not sure how a battery powered mower would handle a overgrown lawn. I'd imagine it would bog down and possibly burn out the motor.

    • @Bolt216
      @Bolt216 2 года назад +1

      So the quiet mode limits the max rmp to 2,600. The brushless motor use variable speed when it senses a higher demand. So it can increases the rpm up to 3,300 going through thick grass in regular mode. That is why you don't see a change in rpm when engaging quiet mode when going through thin to no grass

    • @Bolt216
      @Bolt216 2 года назад

      Short answer: they cut nearly identically. Long answer: The x3 is 1 inch larger diameter and runs for longer thanks to the brushless motor (the x2 uses a less efficient brushed motor) so you can cut more on a single charge. I'm getting the x3 since my yard is slightly larger than the x2 can handle (10,000 sqft) on a single charge. The x2 doesn't advertise mulching but you said that doesn't matter. You really can't go wrong with either. Just go with the x2 if your yard is less than 7000sqft, the x3 if it's between 7000 and 14,000sqft. Unless you have more makita 18v batteries and in that case just get the cheaper of the 2.

    Let talk about gas and makita. Makita 550 a snapper right at 650. Now you mow more than just one lawn a day . Lets say you have to mow14 yards . Wow now you need to buy 8 maybe 9 batteries. The cost for the batteries are not cheap. Ok now the batteries do die at some point now lets get real where are they going to land up? You and I know people are lazy and they will end up in the landfill. Now what does that do for the environment? Nobody talks about that what are people trying to hide ? I have used a snapper for 18 years before its engine stopped but bought just a new Briggs engine for $140 bucks and its up and running . All the repair dealerships here do not even work on battery mowers. I just took a milwaukee trimmer in but first I asked just how much the part was thinking I could just put it on in a few minutes. Wow I was shocked when they said the part was $140 dollars. I only paid $190 bucks for it new. No keep in mind I also have shindaiwa trimmers that cost me $345 bucks that are over 16 years old. So if the battery products are so dam good why dont they put a 10 warranty on them. Because they know they will breakdown in 3 to 4 years costing you even more money. .

    3" is not tall enough. You should cut your grass a bit higher especially as the weather heats up and dries out. 18" is crap. Makita seems a day late and a dollar short. Who the hell buys an 18" mower? Unless you live on a city lot that is a total waste of time. Lastly, Jesus Christ, $449?

      I cut mine at 3-1/2" in the summer, seems to do better in the heat. I only change the cut height by 1/2 an inch for summer but it seems to help quite a bit. The past couple years I've also been mulching rather than side discharging, seems to help the lawn as well.
