Pros & Cons
Pros
It drains 4 amp makita original battery in 20 min on 2nd speed setting. Downsides are handle is a bit ergonomically handicapped.
This thing is a beast. Everything else is top notch.
The bump-to-lengthen string mechanism is old school but does what it should. They make a shorter and bent shaft if you just need to get around the flower bed and around the house. Thick stems take a little more attention.
Cons
I think that this is deceptive advertising. It does not have a lot of power and stops and beeps if the grass is too heavy. Bought a battery timer from lowes, it’s ten times more powerful, and cuts a wider path.

Competitiveness
I own another brand trimmer that is 40 volts that works well but not like the makita.

The battery power doesn’t last much more than 15 min or so but for smaller jobs it is great

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The makita is lighter and has a longer throw which makes trimming much easier
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It would appear that battery voltage should not always be the deciding factor
