Pros
- Exceptionally light for a pro cordless machine
- Smooth brushless power, three speed settings
- Shares the huge Makita LXT ecosystem
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. At about 3.9 kg it’s one of the lightest professional cordless brush cutters you can buy, and over an hour of trimming that difference is felt in your arms and shoulders.
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 — the light weight makes it a joy for long grass sessions, provided you already have LXT batteries.
Makita DUR368LZ — frequently asked questions
How heavy is the Makita DUR368LZ?
Around 3.9 kg with batteries — one of the lightest professional-grade cordless brush cutters on the market, 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.
Line or blade?
It runs a string head (23–35 cm) out of the box and is well suited to grass and light growth; it's lighter-duty than the 43 cm DUR369AZ.
