Pros
- 255 mm metal blade supplied with the nylon head
- Bike handle, motor brake and AFT kickback protection
- Wide 430 mm cut with line
Cons
- Sold bare — batteries and charger add a lot
- Heavier than lighter cordless models
- Expensive once fully kitted
The Makita DUR369AZ is a proper professional cordless brush cutter. Running on two 18V LXT batteries in series for 36V, its brushless motor, bike handle and supplied 255 mm metal blade take on tall grass, scrub and light brambles that defeat lighter cordless machines.
What the listing and retailers confirm
The Amazon.co.uk listing (DUR369AZX6) describes two 18V batteries connected in series, a brushless motor, Active Feedback-sensing Technology that stops the motor immediately if the head jams, continuous speed control, a motor brake and deep-discharge protection. Retailers give a 430 mm cut with the nylon head, a 255 mm metal blade in the box, three speed ranges (4,600, 5,500 and 7,000 rpm) and a weight of 5.9–6.3 kg. It’s sold without batteries or charger.
Who it’s for
This is the machine for someone already invested in Makita LXT. Because it’s sold bare, the value depends on already owning batteries — buy the DUR369AZ and it slots straight into your kit. Starting from zero, the all-in cost climbs toward petrol territory. Wear the full kit with the blade fitted — safety gear for brush cutting.
Verdict
If you run Makita LXT and want cordless power for tough work, this is the one. If you’re starting fresh, weigh the full battery cost against a petrol machine.
The cordless machine to buy if you already run Makita LXT — near-petrol power, pro build, but budget for two batteries and a charger on top.
Makita DUR369AZ — frequently asked questions
Does the Makita DUR369AZ come with batteries?
No — the 'AZ' suffix means it's sold bare (no batteries or charger). It runs on two 18V LXT batteries, so it's aimed at people already in the Makita LXT system.
Is it powerful enough for brambles?
Light brambles, yes — it comes with a 255 mm metal blade, and the brushless motor and bike handle are made for tall grass and scrub. For established thickets and saplings, a petrol machine with a scrub blade has more reserve.
How much does it really cost?
Starting from scratch, add two 18V LXT batteries — 5.0 Ah or larger make sense on a brush cutter — and a charger, ideally a twin-port one. That roughly doubles the outlay, which is why it suits existing LXT owners best.
