Pros and cons

According to our string trimmer expert

  • You trim right away thanks to the included battery.
  • Besides the edges of your lawn, you can also trim weeds and coarse, wild grass.
  • Thanks to the pivotable head, you can also trim hard-to-reach places.
  • During long jobs, you have to recharge the battery in between and you can't work without interruptions.

Description

The Makita DUR193RT is a lightweight cordless string trimmer that you can use to easily trim lawn edges. You're not limited to sockets or extension cords because the trimmer works on a 18V battery. The battery is part of the Makita LXT 18V battery platform, so you can also use the battery on other (garden) tools with the same battery platform. Thanks to the telescopic tube and the pivotable head, you can trim difficult to reach places. For example, you can quickly trim grass underneath benches and trampolines. The string trimmer weights only 2.6kg and has a carrying strap for extra comfort, so even tasks that take a longer time are no issue with the DUR193RT.

Perfect device as expected from Makita

  • fits well in the hand
  • Does what you buy it for
  • compatible with LXT
  • no

Sometimes I don't understand the negative reactions that often give a wrong impression of a product. The Trimmer does what it was designed for. Mowing lawn edges and borders and that's it. If you want to attack thick bushes, you use a brush cutter. If you want to mow the lawn, you buy a lawn mower. The Dur 193Z fits very well in the hand, is not too heavy and the carrying strap is a nice extra but actually unnecessary. It is assembled in the blink of an eye. (Protective cover, handle and ready). Spare wire is included but it is not in a spool and has to be wound up manually. Very handy is that you can adjust the head so that you can work in different positions. Telescopic extension is also a convenience that I already discovered with the hedge trimmer. The only reason why I didn't buy an RT is because I already bought the charger and some extra batteries earlier. The only thing that surprised me a little was that this trimmer only works with one wire. But it certainly works no less well with it. That the thread would break as I sometimes read, has not happened to me yet. In short, the device works perfectly for me and is once again a perfect addition to my Makita LXT tools.

Regret this purchase

  • Easy that it is with a Makita battery
  • Wire comes off very easily.

Used once and thread has been completely shot off twice. Afterwards I had to tinker a lot to get the thread right again. Unfortunately, I didn't buy a heavier device without such a wire.

Can handle a jungle

  • Battery life

After years the garden had become a kind of civilian bush, everything could be cut short in 2 hours with this machine. Charging is easy, I needed more rest because after an hour of playing Godzilla over the weeds, my hands were shaking for a while. Battery makes working so much easier, I used to have things with cable and you always just don't have enough wire. I earn back the extra costs purely by walking back and forth and rerouting cables.
