What the listing confirms
The Amazon.co.uk listing gives a loop handle, a 260 mm cutting diameter, an easy-loading bump-feed head with 1.65 mm four-leaf nylon cord, a telescopic shaft with 190 mm of adjustment, angle adjustment of the motor head and an edger function, with one 5.0 Ah battery and a charger in the box.
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants a comfortable, precise tool for edging and light lawn work — ideal for Makita owners. For tall grass or brush, choose a blade-capable machine such as the DUR194 for light weeds or the DUR369LZ for scrub.
Verdict
A superb light edging trimmer. Perfect within its remit; not a clearing tool.
Light and precise for edging, with a big battery in the box — a lovely lawn tool, but strictly grass, not a brush cutter.
Makita DUR193RT — frequently asked questions
How does the edging work?
The motor head's angle adjusts and the trimmer has an edger function, so you can turn the line to cut vertically along paths and borders. The telescopic shaft (190 mm of adjustment) lets you set a comfortable height first.
Is it a brush cutter?
No — it's a grass trimmer and edger with a nylon-line head. It doesn't take a metal blade and isn't suited to brambles or heavy clearing; for that see the best cordless brush cutters.
