This is Makita's 36V (two 18V LXT batteries) cordless string trimmer with a direct-drive brushless outer-rotor motor and variable speed. It runs two 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger in the kit, and its 13.3 lb weight is on the heavy side for a string trimmer. The brushless direct-drive setup gives more torque and no belts or clutches to wear, which is the main draw against brushed 18V trimmers. It suits homeowners and light-property owners already in the LXT battery platform who want gas-like cutting without fumes or pull starts.

Owners of Makita's 36V trimmer generally rate the brushless power and variable speed highly and like staying on one battery platform. The recurring complaint is weight and balance, and some find the two-battery setup more hassle than a single 18V tool.
