## Overview

The Makita XRU15PT1 is a professional-grade cordless string trimmer powered by two 18V LXT batteries delivering 36V of brushless motor torque. Featuring Automatic Torque Drive Technology with 3 speed settings (3,500-6,500 RPM), it offers up to 50% longer runtime per charge. The kit includes four 5.0Ah batteries and dual-port chargers for extended work sessions. With a 15-inch cutting swath, Makita Extreme Protection Technology for durability, and Star Protection computer controls, this trimmer is engineered for landscapers demanding high performance, low maintenance, and zero emissions.

## Description

Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line-up of cordless OPE, including the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (model XRU15PT1). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless String Trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. It's powered by two fast-charging 18V LXT Batteries for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V battery platform. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. In addition, the string trimmer rotates in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade trimmers, and uses industry standard spindles (M10x1. 25 LH) for added convenience. With the efficient Makita BL brushless motor, the trimmer delivers longer run time, more power and speed, and longer tool life. Makita's efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. The XRU15PT features a Makita-built Outer Rotor Brushless Motor with direct drive which provides high power and increased torque. The String Trimmer features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool, and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.

Review: Much more powerful than I expected - Update: been using it for quite awhile now and can only report great things. Love the variable speed and that I can can reverse to detangle out of messes. Batteries still going strong and they charge quickly. Its a beast! Original review Bought this for the easy to start feature...I expected to sacrifice some power. Nope, I am very happy with the job it does so far. I have yet to test it on really tough weeds, but the trimming I've done around shrubs and along the fence line has worked great. I think on the low setting it is even easier along the fence line than my trusty Husky was--I lose less string against the fence, while the Makita still does the job perfectly. The battery life is great, a couple hours later I needed a break before the batteries were used up. Love having the extra batteries, that factored heavily into my decision to buy. Love that I can start and stop so easily. Surprised how well the weight balances using the strap, I thought it might be too heavy (5'2", 150#). I almost gave only 4 stars because I'm not happy with the trimmer head--specifically, it doesn't hold much string, and its not as easy to refill as some are. They should have just given it a 20' easy to load head, instead of I had to order one separately. The 2 extra batteries more than make up for that, however. Otherwise, I love this and expect my spouse may even start using the trimmer, now that theres no messy oil mixing and the start up glitches of a gas motor. I'm very happy with this purchase, but I will update this if I find problems down the road.
Review: Good power. Less noise and maintenance. - Quieter and less maintenance than a gas trimmer. Before buying i was skeptical because I have very thick tall grass and used a powerful gas Stihl weed whacker. I still love my gas Stihl, which is a bit more powerful, but the Makita trimmer can handle almost everything. The real reason to get this set is the two bonus batteries, for a total of four batteries in the box. That way you are always able to charge two while you're using the other two. Overall, I’d say the pros are the Makita is quieter, cleaner, no carburetor to clean out, don’t have to worry about your gas going bad over the winter, no engine maintenance. Cons are that it’s maybe not as powerful on the toughest if thick grass, but it can do almost all of it. You’ll have to change out batteries more frequently than refill a gas tank, but it’s probably better for your own body to take a break periodically to do this anyway. Maybe if you are using it for 6-8 hours a day, changing the batteries would get tiresome, but for most people who aren't using it literally all day long, it is solid. Would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whacking Great Tool
*by J***R on April 13, 2021*

I have been using a Makita RBC251 trimmer for more than 20 years. That model has a gas engine (2 stroke) which has worked well all those years, powerful, well balanced and a good deal lighter than the 4 stroke trimmers of that time. But it was time for a change, I decided to get the Makita 36 volt model. OK then, here is how this electric version compares to my old 2 stroke Makita tool. First off, the weight and balance are very close (Makita engineers probably used that old tool as a reference point) and they look pretty much alike as well. The electric version is quiet and doesn't require mixing gas and oil or any arm straining starting exercises --- but it does have a significant lag in spin-up time. Gas version spin-up to full speed was less than a second vs the electric at three times that. I should mention that I was using FULL POWER. My weed cutting action is typically tall weeds and some with thick stems. I tried the two lower power settings and quickly decided full power was what I needed. In that mode, it had equal power to my old gas trimmer (impressive!). Battery life was fair at that setting and for my use. I got 40 minutes of use before I was down to half charge (two bars). I estimate a reasonable run time to be 1 hour so that I would leave some charge in the Li-ion battery pair. Recharge on the new (discharged) batteries was about 2 1/2 hours. From the half charge state, about an hour. Getting an extra set of batteries with the tool ensures I will be able to do any weeding needed in one continuous session. I am very satisfied with this new tool and I do recommend it. Update: The trimmer cord (green) that comes with it was used up at about 1 1/2 hours. It required many "taps" and broke off a couple of times. After the second break, I took out the remaining cord and tossed it. The cord used on my Makita gas trimmer was .095 dia (Orange) vs the .080 (Green) trimmer cord. I put that Orange cord on the electric Makita. It was much better! It lasts a lot longer (fewer taps needed) and it cuts better at medium power. So much better that I ran it at med power for all of my lesser weed cutting needs. Makita says use .08-.09 dia. cord and the .095 is the closest larger size, though the trimmer head is rated for several larger size cords. Bottom line: The Orange cord works better on this 36V trimmer IMHO.
