“I purchased a Makita 36v lawn mower on 9-22-22. I used twice that year, a few times in 23, and when I went to use it in 24, the batteries would not hold a charge. I call Makita, they said I would have to send the batteries to Makita. Makita sent me a shipping label and stated that they would contact me as soon as they received the batteries. They did not. After more than 2 months, I called them. They said that they found my batteries setting on the shelf and tested them and there was nothing wrong with them. I asked for new batteries, they said no. So where I stand, I paid $570 for a lawn mower that I was able to use about 10 times and Makita refuses to honor their warranty. Never again.”
“Long term user of Makita LXT 18v 5Ah batteries and recent purchaser of blower and hedge trimmer. The batteries have been excellent for an SDS drill, combi drill and driver for a few years, but I was unsure whether they would be up to the work of powering a hedge trimmer and blower.
I need not have worried.
The hedge trimmer easily cuts through 23mm mixed hedge and is less than half the weight of the petrol machine I used before, making the job much less tiring. The lighter weight also means I can reach further. The LXT power completely eliminates the frustration and suspense of trying to get a petrol machine started.
Similarly the blower, with two 5Ah batteries has plenty of power to clear the leaves from our garden.
Well done Makita!”
“Absolutely disappointed!
I spent over $1400 on new tools, batteries, and everything switching from Milwaukee and regret it. The drill doesn’t work. The chuck slips constantly went out and bought a new drugs. I took two months for them to repair the broken one and they sent me it back broken without fixing it and said they fixed it.”
“Makita is very good branded company tools are very good and handy while using ,all product is long run no problem in any weather conditions ,I m using makita tools last 12 year without any problem”
“Have used Makita for numerous years now and have been surprised by there durability and duration I’ve had some of there products.Have that much confidence I’ve invested best part of £2000 in the last 6mounths👌🏼”
“I was in the market for a smaller drill for use in the house & came upon Makita's 10.8v tools. The CBI drill & impact driver set was ideal and bearing in mind it comes with two batteries and a charger it's going for a great price. The tools are tough and reliable and charge in less than an hour. I'm very happy with them.”
“I've been buying a number of Makita 18v cordless power tools , all have been excellent value for money , good choice available , perhaps a twin 18v cordless belt sander would be good to produce .”
