The Makita DUR369LZ is one of the most capable loop-handle machines in Makita’s LXT range: a brushless twin-18V motor driving a wide 430 mm nylon head through dense, rough grass.
What the listing confirms
The Amazon.co.uk listing gives Active Feedback-sensing Technology, Automatic Torque Drive, an electronic current limiter, an electric brake, three speeds, a reverse rotation switch, a loop handle and an M10 × 1.25 left-hand spindle, with a 430 mm cutting width. UK retailers list it at 5.7–6.3 kg. It’s sold without batteries or charger.
For regular blade work, the bike-handle DUR369AZ — which comes with a 255 mm metal blade — is the better tool.
Who it’s for
Makita LXT owners with larger areas of tough grass who want cordless convenience without fuel and maintenance. Being bare, it’s best value if you already run several LXT batteries. Compare it in the best 36V brush cutters.
Verdict
A wide-cutting, well-protected cordless trimmer for LXT owners — choose the AZ version if you need a blade.
One of the most capable LXT loop-handle machines — a wide 430 mm cut for tough grass and rough ground, if you already own the batteries.
Makita DUR369LZ — frequently asked questions
How does it compare with the DUR368LZ?
It's the bigger machine: a 430 mm cut against 350 mm, and 5.7–6.3 kg against a 3.2 kg bare-tool item weight for the DUR368LZ. Choose it for rough, tough grass over larger areas; choose the DUR368LZ for lighter, longer sessions.
Does it include batteries?
No — the LZ version is bare and runs on two 18V LXT batteries. Budget for two 5.0 Ah or larger packs and a charger if you're starting from scratch.
