Pros
- Offset bike handle for controlled sweeps
- Brushless 36V power for grass and light scrub
- ADT, AFT, three speeds and reverse rotation
Cons
- Sold bare — batteries and charger extra
- Metal blade is an extra in the UK
- Not for heavy brambles like petrol

What the listing and UK retailers confirm
The Amazon.co.uk listing gives an offset bike-type handle, a brushless motor with constant speed control, three speeds, a 350 mm cut with the nylon head, reverse rotation, Automatic Torque Drive and Active Feedback-sensing Technology. UK retailers give speeds of 3,500, 5,300 and 6,500 rpm, a weight of 4.1–4.7 kg with batteries, and list a nylon head, shoulder strap, goggles and tools in the box. Plastic blades (255 mm) and a 230 mm metal blade are listed options.
Who it’s for
Makita LXT owners who want one adaptable cordless machine for mixed jobs. Because it’s bare, the value depends on already owning batteries. For heavy brambles, petrol still wins — see petrol vs battery. The more powerful DUR369AZ comes with a metal blade in the box.
Verdict
One of the best-balanced cordless brush cutters for LXT owners — add a metal blade if you’ll tackle scrub.
A light, well-balanced twin-18V brush cutter with a proper bike handle — ideal for LXT owners who want one versatile tool for grass and light scrub.

Does the Makita DUR368AZ come with a blade?
UK retailers list a nylon cutting head, a shoulder strap, safety goggles and tools as standard; some European versions add plastic blades. The 230 mm metal blade is sold separately in the UK, so budget for one if you have scrub to cut — see the best brush cutter blades.
Does it include batteries?
No, the 'AZ' version is bare. It runs on two 18V LXT batteries in series, so it's best value for existing Makita owners; UK retailers give 4.1 kg with small batteries and 4.7 kg with large ones.
