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.
Highlights
Quality

No gas no carburetor to clean and no pull rope to pull

Because it was a display and only had 2 batteries instead of 4 i was able to walk away with it for almost 75% off the original price.
Shipping
And thank you for amazon for helping with some shipping issues.
This was probably due to small holes in the box on arrival, most likely the shipper's fault.
They repaired it under warranty and it most likely happened during shipment.
Packaging/appearance
Fedex mangled the box and the small parts bag was hanging outside the box when i received it.
The box is not freight rated and the mower was sticking out of the box upon delivery, a couple missing parts i had enough here ... Read More

Packing materials protected everything else when the box was obviously dropped during handling.
Competitiveness
I have never used a battery powered mower before, so i don't have anything to compare it to, but this mower is amazing!
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

It is heavy so you need the self propelled going up any grade but pushes fine on level ground
