Thanks to @Mortin for the original Boxing day deal.

Item is still available in some store and for delivery.

However, I rang my local Sydney Tools without stock and asked if they can order in for pick up to save the $110 delivery fee and they were happy to do so direct from Makita. Redemption offer from Makita is still available as well for the blower.

    Looks like a good deal.

    Just handed the petrol car over to a mate to sell. The last things I have that use petrol are the mower and whipper snipper, but they are still going strong.

  • Wiser on 13/01/2025 - 12:12

    What's the advantage of this over my $199 petrol one?

      Not using petrol,, that's all.. in all other aspects petrol mower is superior.

        Typically that's the case - but this particular unit is rated at around 1.9kw and has enough RPMs under load to cut very well with sharp blades. My Honda has been relegated to scalping only duties after getting the Makita.

      • Meconium on 14/01/2025 - 16:19

        Not all other aspects. This is much quieter, for example.

      For household use - mostly nothing.

      For trades who have multiple tools on Makita's system, it means all your tools are on the same battery system and you don't need to carry around fuel, just sets of spare batteries that can be switched between all tools as needed.

      No petrol, basically no maintenance other than blades, can stand the mower up after use reducing floor space, is your $200 self propelled? Noise, you can mow with no earmuffs. I also back this to do a better cut than your $200 mower

        still think the best bang for buck is a corded electric mower, powerful, maintenance free, not much noise, and no batteries to charge / replace

        This has instant 3200rpm when you press the lever - can confirm that with sharp blades it cuts very nice (no torn or jagged tips). Also comes with the 4 bladed swingback setup rather than the standard bar that they get in the USA.

      The biggest feature I wanted was the self propell so that my kids can help with the the job!

      Was thinking of the Honda HRN with the same though.

      oK, after reading the comment. I dont want to invest $999 extra to get the same job done. Maybe after this petrol mower die …

      Bunnings does not carry the XGT (40V Max batteries) range when I was looking around at things few months ago.
      It appears they still don't.

  • Sleepycat3 on 13/01/2025 - 12:40

    Wonder if Makita are launching an updated mower soon. I was surprised that this mower does not use the 2 batteries in parallel, but instead runs 1 battery until it is flat before switching over to the 2nd battery. That is a silly system. It would have been cheaper to design and implement a parallel system.

    • donkcat on 13/01/2025 - 13:09
      +1

      Why, the 40v is absolutely powerful enough and the issue with parallel systems is you need two batteries of equal condition to get the most out of, if 1 battery degrades a bit quicker than the other then you lose run time vs a stand alone battery setup where you can run each battery down without 1 impeding the other.

      • Sleepycat3 on 13/01/2025 - 15:41

        The less current draw you can put on a single battery, the cooler the batteries will be and the longer the runtime. The benefits will be greater than running 1 battery, drawing a peak 1900W from it, causing voltage sag, overheating etc. 2 batteries at 950W each will give a better runtime than a single battery at 1900W even if there is a slight voltage imbalance (the batteries will discharge at the rate of the battery with the lower voltage, which it will do easily since if the single battery can do 1900W, then 950W is nothing.

        • donkcat on 13/01/2025 - 17:16

          Why would the 2 batteries in parallel not be pulling the same load as the single battery (with twice the voltage)?
          At the end of the day there is clearly a reason that Makita are moving away from 2x18V, and instead have gone for 40v, same as Ryobi who have done away with 2x18V and instead gone for single 36v, Dewalt went flexvolt instead.

          • Sleepycat3 on 13/01/2025 - 17:28
            +2

            @donkcat: In an electrical circuit, when 2 batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage does not increase compared to a single battery, but the current capacity is now the sum of the 2 batteries (essentially doubled). Since the motor in the mower is spec'd at 1900W, it will still draw the same 1900W but from the 2 batteries as a whole, which means each battery will supply 950W, to give a total of 1900W. As a result, the each of the two parallel batteries will be stressed less as it would be called to supply only 950W, compared to a single battery which has double the stress as it has to supply 1900W on its own.

            Makita went from 2x18V LXT (nominal 40V) to 40V XGT because of 2 reasons. There is 1 less battery for the same voltage (lighter, more space saving), they can design new tools that are 36V/40V by default, making them more efficient, they can have higher Wh batteries using larger cells that would not be possible in a 2x18V LXT tool with batteries side by side (line trimmer, power head) and you can get more new battery sales. I'm not saying the 40V XGT is bad. I'm saying that for this particular mower, Makita should have had the two XGT batteries wired up in parallel so that it can get a longer runtime. Being wired in parallel, it can also operate with just 1 single XGT battery.

            Don't confuse what I am saying by comparing it to 2x18V systems, which are totally different. In those systems, the batteries are wired in series, to double the voltage, while the current supply capacity is unchanged.

              @Sleepycat3: Ok bro why dont you submit your essay to makita and suggest why their system sux. The good thing is the lawn mower can still function on 1 battery only. I can use the other battery on my whipper or blower

                -2

                @Ozvalue: Sure, I will. But many reviewers have already done that before me. Milkaukee's M18 Fuel mower is more powerful, has a better cutting capability for long grass and has a longer runtime than Makita's XGT mower. That's why it sells for a higher price than the XGT mower.

    • wombat81 on 13/01/2025 - 17:43

      I think you can trust that the Makita engineers know what they're doing.

  • anxuanyu on 13/01/2025 - 14:12

    At this price ,I’d like to think about a Robot Mower. But I am not sure it is mature enough, original ones using lines is very stupid, I wonder if the robot can do the auto mapping job now?

    Hmm this or a $150 masport off marketplace.

    • x d on 13/01/2025 - 15:57

      It's a luxury item :-)

      I have had petrol mowers previously. Have been paying a gardener to mow our yard for the last 15 yrs. With the summer fast growth, and how everyone now putting their fees up, I'm getting this to mow the yard every second mow! He can do alternate ones along with the edge trimming! It will pay for itself after 10 mows.

    • bashar20 on 13/01/2025 - 17:24

      The $150 marketplace masport with wing back 4 blades is superior to this.

    Have had this mower for about 18 months. Regret purchasing it. If I miss a week mowing, I need to get out my petrol mower, as the Makita can't cut to the desired length unless I make two passes.

    • RtN on 14/01/2025 - 13:25
      +1

      If its long enough then you actually need 2 do two passes anyway. You should only really take off 1/3 length at a time or so. If it's long I cut at one of the highest settings and then follow it up at the next cut lower.

    • x d on 14/01/2025 - 23:23

      No, it's a kit with 2 batteries and a charger as well. Also redemption for the blower via makita.

  • arst on 16/01/2025 - 00:08

    I own the DLM464PT2 model, and after using it a couple of times, I've started experiencing issues restarting it after mowing for a few minutes. The problem is frustrating because it always starts perfectly the first time, but once it's been in use for a while, it struggles to restart.

    It's really inconvenient to take it to the shop since the issue only occurs after extended use, making it difficult to demonstrate. Has anyone else experienced something similar? It’s quite annoying!

    • x d on 16/01/2025 - 08:53

      It should be quite easy to video the problem on your phone, upload it to a personal YouTube account, and send the link to the service technician.
