my third lawn mower. before that there were the most budgetary of Ob CMI and LUX tools. Both burned out engines. I think it has to do with the size of the area. I mow 20 acres, not all at once, but about 10 acres at a time. all mowers at the same time have recommendations to mow no more than 5 acres. I don't allow myself to do that with Makita. I don't have a lawn, only different grass. all grass is collected at 5, except for high-grown sedge, the mower shaves it off, but cannot put it into the
Pros
light
quality materials
power indicator on the handle
picks up grass very well
completely fills the grass catcher
Cons
not a very large grass catcher, but I was able to put up with it
The bag fills up very quickly, because. I’m not chasing the aesthetics of the site, but I just need a site without tall grass, then I removed the bag. The blades grind the grass and it does not have to be removed. However, it's convenient.
I'll add a photo later.
During the "adding a photo" I returned the gas trimmer, the Makita is idle)
Pros
Intuitive from the moment you open the box. It is clear what, where, why and why. Quite powerful, convenient lever for changing the height of the grass bevel. The plot is large, about 30 acres, of which 20-odd is still occupied by grass - it has shown itself well. But you already need to sharpen the knives - the total time of use is 6 or 8 times.
Cons
The handle mount broke, first on the right side. The next day on the left. The metal on the knives does not dull, but becomes covered with notches (which, in my subjective opinion, is not an expert, suggests that they are not so hot of what good metal and will soon have to be changed), although there are no stones on the site - the maximum that "flew into" - this is a small mound of earth, but not of stones.
Some are afraid to take mowers with synchronous motors, since the design has a belt drive, for me, on the contrary, this is a plus:
- the blow of the knife on the snag is not transmitted to the motor
- high starting power
For those who have nothing to compare with, take it, you won't regret it! For the money, this is one of the best devices. I took it for 9k
Pros
The build quality and materials are on a level, I have never seen cheap plastic from Makita.
-Very well throws even wet and juicy grass into the tank.
-Convenient turn-on handle.
- It is convenient to have a network power indicator.
-Does not lose momentum even in dense grass
- Spacious lightweight tank
Cons
1. Height adjustment knob. It is certainly convenient for adjustment, but when mowing the bushes, branches cling to it. So when folding the main handle in half, it presses on the height switch. As I thought when buying, there is a lack of an intermediate height position between 1 and 2 positions.
2. Short handle. Previously used a Bosch Rotak37, walked a full stride freely at 180, constantly kicking the grass tank with the Makita.
3. Noise. At Bosch, the noise level was the same, but more deaf, while at Makita, it was sonorous and with some kind of squeak on the verge of ultrasound.
4. Mowing quality. It does not cut everything, antennas are constantly left on the lawn. It crushes the grass, it feels like there is not enough speed. Bosch was the same power, but even with dull knives, the quality of the mowing was better.
If the indicated drawback is corrected before the start of operation, then it is quite possible to use it. It copes by laying metal inserts, but everyone fixes the broken fasteners as it turns out.
Pros
Worked a little (about a year)
Cons
Makita is no longer the same. Disposable craft. In the second year of dacha operation, the plastic fasteners of the handle broke off. I had to farm. Why did he fall off, you ask? Yes, because the backlashes are huge everywhere, and therefore the fasteners sway in the sockets and break.
Still broke. It's been two months of use at the dacha. I'll take it to the Service. There is no warranty card included, I'll carry it with a receipt. Maybe I'm unlucky, but it's up to you. As a result of the troubleshooting, the engine burned out. I'm shocked, the lawn is 4 acres, they cut it once a week.
Pros
Mows
Cons
Suspicious, not natural rumble from one of the bearings. While it works, but there is a desire to take it to the service for verification
With its pros:
Lightweight, powerful, quiet. There is a lever to switch the level of height
Has cons:
Covered up after a month. Stopped working while working. no warranty card provided.
Some pros:
Comfortable, lightweight, does its job quite well, ground drops are not a problem
Its cons:
Not everywhere you can drive up to mow, you have to finish off with a trimmer
With its pros:
Lightweight, powerful, quiet. There is a lever to switch the level of height
Cons:
Covered up after a month. Stopped working while working. no warranty card provided.
From the load, the pulley separated from the shaft with a knife and melted, I ordered a new one in the online store, I can fix it.
Fixed it. There are many offers in online stores, 950. without delivery. During the repair, there were no particular difficulties. I hope to work more.
You can even remove the grass cover, put a stick in and mow to the ejection. So it's three times faster! I would also buy a trimmer for hard to reach places !
In general, I am very satisfied. perfectly mows grass up to 15cm high.
and there is no need to think that the grass catcher is enough for a mowing area of 3-4 acres. I empty it quite often and this is normal.
Got pros:
ease of operation, performance, grass catcher is easy to remove and insert. not heavy - easy to push.
Cons:
height adjustment: from three positions - the lowest one just loosens the ground. Perhaps this height is only for an ideal lawn, and not for an ordinary one - a country…
I took it in for repairs three times during the season. The pulleys are plastic, loosen up and the belt flies off. Extremely unreliable. Strongly do not recommend to buy
Bought a house last year. They planted a lawn. I needed to buy a lawn mower. Long thought over the choice. On the Internet, we stumbled upon the Diam Almaz store. Made the choice to buy. Ordered from the online store. Delivered quickly. Everything is whole.
I worked for less than a season, I turn the pulley and it melted, a very unreliable design is plastic everywhere. The guarantee was refused, saying that it was his own fault. Not worth your money.
Bought this machine in the middle of summer. Used for a short time but very satisfied. We have a site with an uneven surface, but the device copes without problems with drops on the surface.
My favorite tool brand, almost everything is from Makita, I have been using this brand for 10 years.
Now the mower is also from Makita.
Wife said it looks like a toy car😄
Pros
About the mower:
-easy assembly
- the mower itself is light
- height adjustment
- mows close to the curb
- can be folded very compactly
- carrying handle
- power-on protection
- instant shutdown
- cool design
I put minuses because the grass catcher came not completely stitched. I had to get the thread with a needle and remember the lessons of labor. And it really pissed me off. Use until 5 times for 2 acres, we'll look further.
This lawn mower was purchased to replace our previous model, a Makita 3800, which I had purchased in 2022. It has served us well all of these years, assisting us in the formation of a lovely lawn in spite of encountering bumps, stones, and boards; there have even been a couple or three instances in which little iron garden rakes or a chopper have been cut by it. There was a time when it flew even lower than this. Nothing, really; they just screwed it on and continued driving. The other day…
Pros
Mows easily, is easy to manage, has a nice soft handle, a soft start button, is not flimsy, is simple, and has a powerful engine.
Cons
Even at its highest, the cutting height is a little bit below average.
Didn't even make it through the first two months! obnoxious, a source of smoke, and it no longer functions! They mowed the 8-acre plot five or six times altogether. It's very bad, because I expressly bought Makita in the hopes that it would be of high quality and last for a long time. Since it was revealed to be a typical city in China, it would be absurd to pay an excessive amount for the privilege of using the company's name.
I'll take it to the customer support department, and once they get
Take an older model for those for whom it is essential to dump grass on a regular basis. Despite the fact that forty liters is sufficient. Mowing a smaller area more frequently prevents it from being filled up with dirt. It is only necessary to unload more frequently during the first cutting of the grass. Thank you for the quick and free shipment, as well as the satisfaction with my order. The lawn had been altered.
Has some pros:
I would like to draw attention to the fact that the lawn mower…
