What owners single out
In their words
“Should have purchased this years ago. Light, quiet, and easy to use. I always used a corded trimmer, had to worry about cutting the cord, getting the cord wrapped on a bush, etc. No more! Just slide in the battery and go. I can get all my hedges (30 linear ft) trimmed several times on one charge. I have the Makita Weed Trimmer, Blower, and now this hedge trimmer...lawn mower is next!”

“My older battery powered trimmer decided to give up and quit on me this year. I decided to try a Makita branded trimmer since I have a bunch of their stuff already and I'm glad I did. So far this thing is a beast. It trims everything I've got and is begging for more. I can get all my bushes trimmed on one battery!”
