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.

In a "perfect" straight run:
https://www.inchcalculator.com/la...alculator/ [inchcalculator.com]


in real life 18" Push vs Self propelled 21"
18 will take about 1.25x-2x as long.
I don't think you put the right values in the calculator:

I put in 3mph, 21", 1 acre (104 minutes), & 18", 1 acre (122 minutes), or 17% longer.

Which intuitively, is what I'd expect. ​

Quote from RobertoTown :
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)
No such thing as "wasting money on quality that is not needed" IMHO. I have learned early on, to "spend as much as you can afford" and don't always buy the cheapest (Great example is buying that god-awful Ryobi branded 2 cycle trimmer that took years off my life trying to keep that thing running for more than a year!).

Not sure anyone has mentioned this yet, but keep in mind this does NOT have a side discharge. This means your either mulching or bagging with this mower. I picked up an XML06 (18" deck, self-propelled, no side discharge) for a great price, but didn't realize it had no side discharge until I was committed. It's not a big deal if you cut your grass like you're "supposed to" (only 1/4" off the top at a time or something?), but if you let it get a bit too tall and try, the combo of electric, no side discharge, and a small deck can be an exercise in frustration.

REAL Life PUSH vs SELF Propelled
and your "intuitively" are 2 different things.
Unless of course all you are doing is a flat, straight run or square/rectangular lot with ZERO obstructions and grass recently cut (4 or less days during peak growing). LMAO

Interesting. I am not able to get the code to work. Maybe the code expired?
