Lower end Makita models also use plastic, like XML02 and XML05 models.

But actually, plastics can be a plus for residential home owners depending on their yard size because you are looking at a significant weight advantage at a ~40lb machine vs ones that weighs 60-80lbs+. Maneuverability is actually a quite underrated attribute vs a metal deck.

I'm a makita fan boy but even I'll admit ego makes better lawn equipment than makita. But makita does make quality products and the batteries alone make this a deal.

Edit: I thought the $374 price was for four 5.0 batteries not 4.0. It is pricey to me.

Makita is generally on the pricier side of tools but the quality is top notch. I do know a lot of people with EGO and Ryobi that like their mowers so it's really hard to pull the trigger with prices like this. Not even a dual blade design for the 21".
I have the ryobi 18v and have no issues, my yard is also tiny. I was going to go with the 40v but had no need for it plus have so many 18v batteries along with other ryobi tools.

$619. Seems like a better price here for the self propelled version? https://www.mowersdirect.com/Maki...09457.html

That's 18" vs the 21". Their 21" pricing is $25 higher.

They list the higher end Makita as being a commercial model, but I wonder if any lawn care companies ever use them? I've only seen gas powered mowers used by the pros.

You would be surprised. I've seen quite a few pros that switched to battery operated equipment while I was deciding what to buy. Yes, they're not the majority, but they're out there Smilie

Interesting! Did you notice what brands of battery mowers they usually use? That always gives me confidence in a product being well built if the pros regularly use them, since they are more demanding in what they need from their equipment.

Awesome deal. But, weight is the problem for residential users. When grass hair is long and if users want to go small in one go, grass get struck on the drum for all the movers. Then it needs to be tilted sideways to clean up the drum. It gets difficult during this time with this one due to the weight. Awesome steal for commercial but awesome for residential who don't mind the weight of it.

I don't mind the weight of it Smilie

What you described happened to me once when I used it for the first time and the grass was super long. I had to go little slower and tilt it from the back once in a while to give the blade some space to move. Never had to tilt it sideways to remove extra grass, etc. Please note that I was using the bag to collect the cut grass at that time, since it was crazy long and didn't want to cover the lawn with that much dead organic material.

Makita OPE is regularly used commercially. Those plastic decks on EGOs are fine for homeowners but you won't find them used commercially. Makita is overkill for homeowners but some folks buy more than they need (I am guilty often of wasting money on quality that is not needed)
I don't think you ever "wasing money on quality". You get what you pay for. I've had two vendors battery systems canceled on me oboleting the my lawn gear (original greenworks 40v, and worx 40v battery systems). Makita has stuck with their 18v system for something like 15 years.

That said this is not a good year for buying the bigger makita mowers. They've just started to roll out their new higher-end 40/80v XGT battery system in the USA. No mowers this year (just a trimmer) but next year I'm sure there will be a mower to keep up with the competion:

If you need it, then, yeah, it might be worth it! I had a Snapper 60V I got on clearance real cheap and it cut fine. But handling the pushing over a large yard, especially when grass was thick, and with mild slopes.. didn't work for me. Ended up ordering a Greenworks 80V self-propelled (I also use that system) at a good price from Amazon and it is so much better. A bit more powerful in the blade action, but both were fine for that. But having the nice powered variable-speed rear-wheel drive made all the difference in usability to me. (For the $300 extra I'm also assuming the more expensive Makita is a higher overall model, not just the same as the cheaper one but with powered wheels.)
