Description
Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line-up of cordless OPE, including the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless String Trimmer (model XRU11M1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the 18V cordless string trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. It features an efficient Makita BL brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The kit includes an efficient Rapid Optimum Charger and an 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery which reaches a full charge in only 40 minutes – the fastest charge-time in the category – for less downtime and increased productivity. The efficient brushless motor delivers up to 6,000 RPM for faster cutting. The XRU11Z is equipped with Automatic Torque Drive Technology, which automatically shifts from 4,000-6,000 RPM depending on the density of the application. There are three speed options (4,000/5,000/6,000 RPM), allowing users to match the speed to the application. Additional features include a full 11-3/4 In. cutting swath, an easy-loading bump-and-feed trimmer head, and reverse rotation that allows users to quickly clear the head of entangled grass and weeds. The XRU11Z accepts industry standard M8x1.25 LH spindles. The XRU11M1 features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT).

I like it, but the string holder keeps falling off when I stop it. Is anyone else having this issue?
Bryana Beier (verified owner) –
The string trimmer was not packaged well. One part came lose from the motor and caused some time lost in assembly as it is not shown on the diagrams. Once I realized where it went, all was easy to assemble. It works good.
Jamel Runolfsson (verified owner) –
Great tool, used it to edge and trim my 1 acre property. It took 1.5 battery to do the whole thing, great power and it is light to carry. 100% recommended.
Meaghan Lakin (verified owner) –

Love how the weed eater works on the weeds! It’s a little heavy for me. But I wouldn’t trade it!
Savannah Hickle (verified owner) –
Love this, it’s so light weight and the battery lasts for about 45 min . Love that it fits with my other batteries so no need to wait for charging, although the charging only takes about half an hour.
Lizzie Graham (verified owner) –
I own a Makita drill, driver and skilsaw that use the 18v battery system and have been satisfied with the quality of these tools. When I was looking for a new string trimmer I looked at the different models from different manufacturers and decided to purchase this trimmer as it had great reviews and also took the same size battery as my other tools. I have used the trimmer on five occasions for a total of four hours and so far am very satisfied with the performance and quality. I have been using this machine to trim 18″ weeds and am pleasantly surprised at how well it does. Usng the 4 amp battery I’m getting about 30-40 minutes of constant use per charge.

Having other Makita battery powered tools I knew I was getting quality but the trimmer was better than expected. Cuts everything and didn’t use much battery at all.
Naomi Dickens (verified owner) –
Best trimmer on the market!!

I really enjoy this weed trimmer because i have a bad shoulder so there’s no pulling a rope to try and start it and it’s unbelievably unbelievably light I love it!
