Pros & Cons
Pros
None of that headache and hassle with this battery-powered mower. The batteries have good life. The bb store offers a 10% discount for vets and 2% cash back when using their credit card.
Mows a hilly 1/2 acre in about 6 batteries (5aph) it would be nice if it had front swivel wheels, then it make it easier to maneuver.
Self propel feature works so well i doubt many will care. If it had lurched, who knows what could've happened. Power drive works effortlessly.
I sharpen my blades every season and the gas mower's blade was stout. There is some flex in the design so that if you set the front wheels down hard when making a turn, the flex works like suspension and the blade cuts shorter than it would otherwise.... Read More
Cons
Makita's claims on this are wildly and frankly outrageous. The bad news is that even these figures are laughable.
Return process says to just ship this heavy * item back.

Upon inspection the hardware bag had ripped open and only 1 of 6 bolts were remaining with the mower.
My local air quality resources board is offering up a $200 rebate when turning in a gas mower as well.

Shipping
And thank you for amazon for helping with some shipping issues.
Other reviewers mentioned a torn shipping box.
Despite a previous review, maxtool stepped up and offered to cover the entire shipping cost via fedex to return the mower and a... Read More
The box was well-designed and heavy duty, but shipping with pretty much all carriers is not great these days.
Packaging/appearance
One issue that did occur was the fact that the mower arrived with considerable damage to the packaging resulting in the loss of... Read More
All the wet grass went into the bag.
Competitiveness
I bought this because i have a garage full of makita 18v tools and love them all.
Had standardized my tool purchases on the makita 18v line, but still resorted to the gasoline mower and the obligatory work ou... Read More

Yes the nuts and bolts were rolling free in the box but they were all there somehow apparently the malcontents at ups were a few kicks shy of a full rupture
