The Makita UM140DST and UM140D are powerful and efficient cordless lawn mowers designed for homeowners and professional landscapers seeking reliability and performance. Both models stand out for their excellent build quality, advanced technologies, and user-friendly features, making lawn maintenance seamless and effective.

One of the main features of both the UM140DST and UM140D is their lightweight and compact design, which allows for easy maneuverability in tight spaces. The mowers are equipped with a robust 14-inch cutting deck, enabling them to handle various grass types and terrains while ensuring precise cutting performance. The steel construction of the cutting deck not only enhances durability but also extends the life of the mower.

The UM140DST model boasts a high-efficiency brushless motor that provides increased power and torque while reducing wear and tear, allowing the mower to maintain a consistent performance across varying grass conditions. Meanwhile, the UM140D features a reliable brushed motor, which also delivers satisfactory cutting performance.
