Excellent string trimmer.
Kaelyn O’Kon (verified owner) –
Does the job, excellent for jobs around the home
Hilton Daugherty (verified owner) –
Exactly as I expected. Have to replace trimmer line often but believe that is my own learning curve since I’ve never used this type of equipment before.
Kelsie Keeling (verified owner) –
I LOVE this new tool! Trims our junipers and forsythia like butter. It’s surprising powerful and light. We have several 18V Makita tools and many other cordless and corded Makitas that work flawlessly. they are well made, tough and handy. The old worn out corded Black and Decker is destined to be recycled.
Stella Johnson (verified owner) –
This product is excellent! It’s a Makita tool. What more can you ask for? Not much to assemble, but simple. I’ve only had it for a little over a month. So far, it’s worth the cost. Also the batteries are compatible with all Makita tools. I have a couple of drills (compact). Great product!
Roy Corwin (verified owner) –
I went from a gas power to this, very lightweight and easy to use plus it went well with all my makita tools.
Tristin Mueller (verified owner) –
A great product! I used it once and someone stoled it an all my makita tools from my truck. Someone else will enjoy it as much as me!
Gideon Lesch (verified owner) –
Works as expected and fully charged battery lasts 45 minutes as advertised. I like the angle which gets the trimmer head further away from my feet than my previous 110V B & D model.
Raina Feil (verified owner) –
My wife wanted to be able to help me out with some more yard work (she already has her own yard tractor) and wanted a lighter, easier to start weed trimmer so I got her this Makita. She is very happy and finds it light enough for her, easy to get going and uses it often. Now she will start taking it with her to her mothers house to help there. Glad to have such a useful tool and helping wife!

The trimmer is easy to assemble and charge up for the first use. It’s powerful.
Chandler Jakubowski (verified owner) –
it works great. I love it. the deliverer put it behind my car on the ground. I backed up and stopped when I felt something behind me.its ok talk to someone.wa
Ambrose Daniel (verified owner) –
This is a nice trimmer. Light weight and quiet when operating. I guess the length of it makes it a bit uncomfortable to use but you can keep the trimmer head down on the ground and let it ride along. Batteries seem to last quite awhile before a change or a charge. Overall I like it. But I haven’t had to add cutting string yet. Hopefully that’s and easy job.
Stacy Abernathy (verified owner) –
Lightweight and easy to maneuver. A great improvement over my gas powered trimmer. Just right for my small city property.
Mortimer Jenkins (verified owner) –
Love it! Works great!!
Delfina Hahn (verified owner) –
Very light weight and easy to use. It’s nice to not have to deal with a cord.
Marlin Romaguera (verified owner) –
Nice blade. Wish it had a faster SPM. Made in china
Monroe Lebsack (verified owner) –
Uses lot’s battery power for a short period of time-1/2 hour
Deven Cormier (verified owner) –
So far it seems to work well…haven’t used it enough to form a real opinion yet.
Jaunita Beatty (verified owner) –
This trimmer was easy to assemble and has plenty of power. Our old cheap trimmer took 2 batteries ( if they were fairly new and you were quick) to trim a one acre lot. This trimmer does it on a half a battery. I would give it five stars but the string shield is far too small. The old trimmer covered half the circle that the string turns in. Over the winter I’ll take the guard off the old trimmer and put it on this new one. I also liked the idea that the battery on this trimmer will work on most all their other tools.

Just the thing I needed. Lightweight easy to use.
