Pros
- Light for a twin-battery machine
- Brushless, three speeds, ADT and reverse switch
- Runs on standard 18V LXT batteries
Cons
- Sold bare — batteries and charger extra
- Line-focused; less bite than the DUR369AZ
- Premium price for the class
The Makita DUR368LZ trades outright grunt for something many people value more: low weight and easy handling. Over an hour of trimming that difference is felt in your arms and shoulders.
What the listing confirms
The Amazon.co.uk listing gives a loop handle, Active Feedback-sensing Technology, Automatic Torque Drive, an electronic current limiter, three electronic speeds, a reverse switch, a battery protection circuit and a 350 mm cutting diameter, with an item weight of 3.2 kg. It’s sold without batteries or charger.
Who it’s for
Makita LXT owners who mostly cut grass and light growth and want a comfortable, quick-to-grab tool. For heavier scrub, the beefier DUR369AZ with its 43 cm cut is the better pick.
Verdict
A superb light-duty pro cordless machine for LXT owners. Buy it for comfort and grass; step up if you need to power through brush.
Pro cordless power without the arm-ache — a comfortable loop-handle machine for long grass sessions, provided you already have LXT batteries.

How heavy is the Makita DUR368LZ?
Amazon.co.uk gives an item weight of 3.2 kg for the bare tool; two LXT batteries add to that. It's light for a twin-battery machine, which makes a real difference over a long session.
Does it include batteries?
No, the 'LZ' version is the bare tool. It takes two 18V LXT batteries, so it suits existing Makita owners best.
