Please pick your favorite HOT tile
Welcome to our full-length 4K test of Makita’s most expensive 36V cordless lawn mower – the XML10CT1. We took it straight into deep grass, nearly 18 inches tall, and filmed everything start to finish in real-time.
This isn’t your average backyard mow. This is a serious performance test of a premium mower kit priced at $699 at Home Depot (Model #XML10CT1, Internet #320078459). The kit includes 4× BL1850B 5.0Ah batteries and a DC18SH dual-port charger, giving you extended runtime and swap flexibility. Expect 45–60 minutes of cutting time depending on the terrain and grass density.

💡 Real-world test, real feedback:
Grass this tall isn’t easy. The motor did bog slightly when overloaded, but never stopped. With good pace and battery swaps, it completed the job. The battery indicator and load detection features were spot on.
♻️ Let’s give tools a second life, use smarter power, and reduce noise + emissions while maintaining great lawns.
