Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT 17-Inch Cordless Residential Lawn Mower – Efficient Battery-Powered Lawn Care

Powerful Cordless Performance for Residential Lawns

The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 17-Inch Residential Lawn Mower (XML05Z) provides a convenient and dependable solution for maintaining small residential lawns. Designed to combine efficient grass cutting with cordless freedom, this mower operates using two compatible Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries to deliver 36V power. Its battery-operated design eliminates gasoline, engine oil changes, and extension cords, making everyday lawn maintenance more straightforward.

Efficient Makita Motor Technology

Equipped with a Makita-built motor delivering up to 3,600 RPM, this cordless lawn mower offers reliable cutting performance for routine residential grass maintenance. The advanced electric motor provides smooth operation with reduced noise compared with many traditional gas-powered mowers. Its integrated soft-start technology gradually increases motor speed to minimize startup shock and support controlled operation.

Compact 17-Inch Cutting Width

The Makita XML05Z features a practical 17-inch cutting width, making it suitable for smaller yards, garden spaces, and residential landscapes. Its compact design allows convenient maneuvering around flower beds, trees, pathways, and other common garden obstacles. The cutting deck provides an efficient balance between mowing coverage and easy handling, helping homeowners maintain a neat lawn without using oversized equipment.

Adjustable Cutting Heights

Maintain your preferred lawn appearance with the convenient single-lever cutting height adjustment system. The mower offers adjustable cutting heights ranging from approximately 13/16 inch to 3 inches, allowing users to select suitable grass lengths for different seasons and lawn conditions. The easy-to-operate adjustment lever simplifies changes between cutting positions.

Dual Battery Power with Extended Battery Storage

The Makita 18V X2 technology combines the power of two 18V LXT batteries to deliver 36V cutting performance while remaining compatible with Makita’s established LXT battery platform. The mower features a four-battery storage system, allowing two additional compatible batteries to be carried onboard for convenient replacement during longer mowing sessions. Only two batteries power the mower at one time, and switching to the additional pair requires changing the active batteries.

Comfortable Handling and Easy Maneuverability

Designed with user comfort in mind, the Makita XML05Z includes a rubberized soft-grip handle for controlled operation during routine lawn maintenance. Its smooth-rolling wheels with ball-bearing construction help reduce rolling resistance, while the lightweight, compact design makes it easier to navigate residential lawn areas. The manual push operation provides direct control over mowing direction and pace.

Convenient Grass Collection and Maintenance

The mower includes a removable grass collection bag for convenient clipping collection during mowing. Its cordless design eliminates fuel mixing, gasoline storage, and many of the routine engine maintenance requirements associated with gas-powered equipment. Regular cleaning, blade inspection, and proper battery care help maintain dependable operation.
