- How long does the 4.0Ah battery last?
- Expect roughly 30 to 45 minutes of mowing depending on grass height and drive use. Large lawns will need a second battery.
- Does it mulch?
- Yes, it mulches clippings back into the lawn. The listed specs show mulching only, so check the deck for a bag or side-discharge chute before you buy.
- Is it self-propelled?
- Yes. The drive pulls the mower forward, which helps on slopes and long strips.
- Which batteries does it use?
- It runs on Makita XGT 40V Li-Ion batteries, the same platform as other Makita 40V tools. The listed kit includes a 4.0Ah pack.
- How big a lawn can it handle?
- The 21-inch deck suits mid-size suburban lawns. With one 4.0Ah battery, plan on smaller yards or a second pack for larger ones.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper cordless mower?
- If you already own Makita 40V batteries, the shared platform and solid build make it a strong choice. If not, factor in the cost of batteries and charger against rival kits.
- Where is the Makita Electric Self Propelled Lawn 40V cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $999.00, as of our latest check.
