Which Makita hedgetrimmer should you buy?

6 Makita hedgetrimmers. Plus and negative points.

Beware the DUX60 head with 2 x 6AMP batteries and this EN401MP attachment are very heavy! I had to trim about 20-25m long hedge (only one side and top) and my hands were already falling off half way through it hence had to look for the strap as otherwise would not be able to finish. You really have to had very strong hands or use strap from the start. I had to use a corded cheap hedge trimmer because about 85% into the job my 5 year old batteries finished. Apart from that the combo is superb quality and performance! However, I might just get the slightly lighter EN410MP for trimming sides or another dedicated lighter corded trimer and keep the EN401MP for trimming hedge tops and anything that would normally require a ladder.

Thank you. This petrol tools phasing out is a disgrace

[@yorkshiresnumero2gardener244]

Yes. Battery power is not advanced enough to replace them. It's Makita decision but bit short sighted as consumer will just use other makes..

The audio on your video is crap - I have the volume up full and with headphones I can't hear everything you're saying.

[@yorkshiresnumero2gardener244]

It is, I agree. 🥴

Can't hear - even with my volume turned up to max. I really wanted to watch this video

[@ricardodefenton]

Apologies for that. I need a decent microphone. Maybe see if it will do subtitles...

Good review. What happened to the 18 volt trimmer one that kept breaking 3rd one in from the right with tilting handle, I think it was your 3rd best choice, said you had to send it back twice? I need the 24 or 30 inch 18 volt, trying to decide but need one reliable, was the warranty easy? Someone said on Amazon they didn't warranty a Makita one. 3yr warranty on them I think? Thanks

[@yorkshiresnumero2gardener244]

I still use it. Warranty a bit of pain to register online for the 3 year. I expect it will break again! I quite often use the 36 v split shaft but a smaller one is necessary for close up work. The split shaft not practical for small stuff and close up, example - narrow hedge tops off step ladders

[@yorkshiresnumero2gardener244]

Can't fault Makita returns process. Usually via DPD

[@user-gy6wc6ex4i]

@@yorkshiresnumero2gardener244 Have you tried the cheaper 18-volt LXT model 24" without the rotating handle, like XHU09Z? What exactly broke on yours with the tilting handle?
