MAKITA EXPANDS CORDLESS LAWN MOWER LINEUP WITH TWO NEW MODELS

New 21-inch mowers combine gas performance with convenience features including folding handles

February 18, 2022, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., the innovation leader in outdoor power equipment, power tools, and accessories, has expanded its cordless outdoor power equipment (OPE) lineup with two new lawn mowers. Both models are powered by two 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries, giving users more battery-powered options over gas equipment.

The new models include the following:

· XML10CT1 – 36V (18V X2) LXT® 21” Lawn Mower Kit (also available as tool only)

· XML11CT1 – 36V (18V X2) LXT® 21” Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Kit (also available as tool only)

“From homeowners to pro landscapers, demand continues to grow for battery-powered alternatives to gas equipment,” said Mario Lopez, director of product, Makita U.S.A. “The Makita OPE System includes more battery-powered lawn mowers that give users lower noise, less maintenance, zero emissions, and no fuel expenses. These two new mowers combine cutting performance with convenience features like less weight and folding handles, so they are ideal for garage or shed storage.”

Extended Run Time, Convenient Storage

Utilizing four 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries (included as part of the XML10CTI and XML11CTI kit versions), the mowers can cut up to one half-acre, with up to 0.55 acres in push mode, and up to 0.44 acres in self-propelled mode (XML11 only). For added convenience, both mowers include folding handles to allow for upright storage in either a garage or shed.

Variable Cutting Height, Lower Weight, and More

A lightweight plastic deck allows both mowers to be operated with less strain, while the self-propel feature of the XML11 offers a variable speed of 1.5- to 3 MPH. Other features include variable cutting height, soft start for smooth start-ups and longer gear life, ball bearings in the wheels for a smoother drive, and a rubberized soft grip handle for comfort.

Efficient Cutting and Better Durability

The powerful 36V motor delivers 3,000 RPM for efficient cutting. The mowers are equipped with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability and longer tool life.

Benefits of Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment

Makita LXT® Cordless Power Equipment eliminates the hassles of gas with zero emissions, lower noise, and reduced maintenance. The cordless lawn mowers operate at a lower noise level, providing user comfort and preventing a disruption for neighbors or nearby businesses. With no need for gas or oil, these battery-powered lawn mowers require less maintenance and have zero emissions.
