Our verdict
A well-made compact cordless that makes most sense if you already own Makita LXT batteries, since it is usually sold body only. The wide cut-height range and 3-in-1 function add flexibility on a small deck. Buy the bare unit and it is good value, buy a kit and the maths is tighter.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Wide 20 to 75mm height range
- 3-in-1 cut, collect and mulch
- Runs on the popular LXT battery system
- Solid build for the class
Cons
- Sold body only, battery extra
- Single 18V battery limits runtime
- 30L box is modest
