Makita LXT Lawn Mower

Yes, this mower uses a dual-battery system that requires two 18V LXT batteries to power the 36V brushless motor. You must have both batteries inserted and charged for the unit to operate.

Using the self-propelled feature will consume more battery power than manual pushing, which may reduce your total runtime. However, it significantly reduces physical fatigue, making it a worthwhile trade-off for larger or sloped lawns.

No, this model does not support side discharge. It is designed specifically for bagging grass clippings into the included 16-gallon collector or mulching them back into the lawn using the provided mulching plug.

While the handle is designed to fold for compact storage, it does not feature a telescoping height adjustment. Most users find the standard height comfortable, but it is a fixed position.

Very little. Because it is a brushless electric motor, you do not need to worry about oil changes, spark plugs, air filters, or fuel stabilizers. Simply keep the deck clean and the blade sharp for optimal performance.

The cutting height range is adjustable from 13/16 of an inch up to 3 inches. This range is suitable for most standard residential grass types, though it may not be ideal if you prefer to keep your lawn significantly longer.
