Pros
- •The combo kit is highly effective and powerful.
- •Ideal for existing Makita users due to compatibility with existing batteries.
- •The blower is strong and functions efficiently.
- •Weed eater operates smoothly with adjustable low and high settings.
- •Recommended pairing with a Miller Lite for an enjoyable experience.
Cons
- •Trimmer lacks power compared to the advertised 25cc engine performance.
- •Motor overheating protection activates too early, limiting use to under 20ft.
- •Battery life is inadequate for larger yards, particularly those around 2,000 ft².
- •Performance is slow and lacks power for tasks like weed eating and edging.
- •The blower attachment has a very short operational time before the battery dies.
Bottom Line
The Makita XT287SM1 Combo Kit offers compatibility for loyal Makita users and packs some efficiency with its strong blower and adjustable weed eater. However, for larger yards or demanding tasks, its limited battery life and trimmer’s subpar performance might leave you green with envy for a gas trimmer. Consider purchasing an additional battery if you plan to use both tools consecutively for extended periods.
