Makita DLM382Z Twin 18V (36V) Li-ion LXT 38cm Lawn Mower - Batteries and Charger Not Included

I was looking to change my petrol mower which I brought with me when I moved. The garden in the new house has a small lawn and the petrol machine was no longer required. I intended to move to a battery machine as I can't stand trailing cables so I (as always when buying new equipment) checked the Which? reports and the one for this machine were not particularly good. I then read the reviews on here and they painted a whole different picture. As I already have a lot of Makita cordless kit and the quality has always been excellent, coupled with the Amazon reviews, I bought one. As it turned out it was an excellent choice. It is much quieter than the petrol machine but just as good, or in fact better, at cutting the grass. I ran it for about 25 minutes and the battery that had started with a full charge was still showing full with 4 lights and the one I'd been using quite a lot on a drill still had 2 lights, so it could have probably gone on for another 25 minutes. The machine is very light and easy to manoeuvre and the height is easily adjusted. I can't comment on the grass box as I don't use it. All in all, very pleased with its overall performance and I don't think I could have got a better machine for the money (I notice in the couple of weeks since I bought it it has gone up about £20 but still worth it).

Some time ago I needed a new mower as the mower that had failed used a dedicated battery and I wanted something that had a standard, easy to obtain, battery which could also be used for other kit. I had a lot of DeWalt kit but their mower was too expensive so looked at Makita. The mower I purchased has proved to be really good and I have since bought Makita hedge trimmer and grass edge trimmer as I can now buy bare units and use the same batteries. The purchase of this, my second Makita mower, was because I live in a town house on a hill and carrying the mower backwards and forwards from front to back up and down a lot of stairs was a real nuisance. As I already had a stock of Makita batteries this mower was a a sensible and low priced option as I was able to buy a bare unit. The mower is close to identical to my rear garden one, just being a little narrower. It was easy to assemble. It just being a case of bolting the handle on and, as expected, does a great job and is easy to store standing up in the corner of the garage. One point that needs repeating though is that this is a bare unit without batteries and charger. Every time I look at bare units on Amazon for DeWalt or Makita there are one star reviews complaining that there was no battery or charger, although it is always clearly noted on the sales page. If you don't have Makita batteries and buy this you will find the cost of the required two batteries and a charger will be a least as much as the mower price.

So simple to assemble, usual makita quality. I like how easy it is to clean afterwards, no stupid nooks and crannies to trap grass like my previous mowers, so a simple hand brush is enough. It’s light to push and can cope with very damp grass. One lever to give many different heights, so start long to see how short you want to go, or if the grass has been left a long time or is very wet. There’s a removable safety ‘key’ so safe around children if the batteries are in. Overall, it’s excellent

Makita is a quality brand so you get exactly what you expect. Easy to assemble. Cuts really well and gives a very nice finish. Batteries last for about an hour which is as good as or better than others on the market. I`ve tried a couple of other makes and this is the best of the models.

This lawnmower is my purchase of the year! I’m over the moon with it. As a female it is so easy to use. It’s lightweight and being battery powered it is minimum hassle - battery’s in, unfold handles and off we go. The battery’s do my front and back garden in one go (8x8m and 30x10m). The grass collector is easy to get on and off and is sufficient to need emptying twice for the whole garden. Mine has never stalled in longer grass. Cutting grass is no longer a chore, wish I had bought this years ago!!!!

This does the job... can't go wrong, buy one!

It's excellent quality, and the 5 amp Makita batteries it uses are powerful and last for a very long time. Much better than my admittedly very old Bosch cordless mower. It whizzes through my moderately large lawns in no time. It is quite long and not particularly easy to get in and out of my garage. The grass cut length selector is very easy to use and the best I've seen.

Decided to go for this lawnmower because I already own Makita tools plus charging station and 5mha batteries. So it made scenes getting this. I’d say i have an average size garden and small patch of grass out the front and it cuts no problem and only uses about 50% battery. I can get 2 cuts out of it before it needs a charge. I’ve always had petrol until now and I don’t miss having to prime up and pull about 20 times once winter has been 😂. I press one button and hold leaver up. Easy. Height adjustment is so easy as it does the whole chassis.

Tondeuse parfaite pour petites surfaces, ici 300 m2 impeccable Très facile à manipuler, légère, mise en place rapide , à voir dans le temps !!

Very good device, perfectly made my gazon. Don’t use a lot of battery charge, even less my MAKITA-trimmer. Recommend!!!

Towar w pelni sprawny. Wszystko ok. Bardzo polecam. Pozdrawiam

Ottimo rasaerba a pile, leggero ma comunque robusto e ben fatto. Consigliato

Zuerst musste ich die Annahme verweigern weil die Verpackung komplett offen im DHL-Fahrzeug lag. Außerdem sah der Karton ziemlich ramponiert aus. Das Problem ist, dass Amazon den Mäher nicht verpackt, sondern im Originalkarton verschickt. Dadurch wird der Karton nicht durch postversandtaugliche Packbänder zusammengehalten, sondern durch durchsichtige Klebestreifen wie sie der Hersteller verwendet. Nach tel. Rücksprache mit dem Kundenservice wurde der Versand eines neuen Artikels vereinbart. Dieser kam genauso verpackt mit DPD, aber noch verschlossen und unramponiert. Jetzt zum Mäher. Bin positiv überrascht. Ausgepackt und zusammengebaut (ein Kinderspiel) und gleich mal zum testen 2 Akkus eingesetzt. Das Gras stand relativ hoch (ca. 10cm) und auch noch etwas feucht. Zu meinem Erstaunen hat das den Mäher überhaupt nicht gehindert seine Arbeit zu verrichten. Sauberer Schnitt und alles schön in den Fangkorb befördert. Habe den Makita-Mäher eigentlich als Zweitmäher zu meinem Wolf Benzin-Rasenmäher angeschafft. Aber so wie es aussieht benötige ich den Benzinrasenmäher gar nicht mehr. Die Vorteile bei meinen 4 unabhängig von einander liegenden nicht allzu großen Rasenflächen. -Geringes Gewicht und durch zwei Tragegriffe leicht zu heben und umzusetzen. -Wendig und leicht manövriebar. -Im Gegensatz zu meinem Benzin-Mäher mäht der Makita auf beiden Seiten (rechts und links) bis zur Kante. Es bleibt an den Stellen wo mann mit einem Mäher nicht so gut hinkommt weniger Rasen stehen. -Der Fangkorb ist sehr leicht zu reinigen. Der Mäher ist leicht zu reinigen. -Der Motor scheint ausreichen Power zu haben um auch höheres Gras problemlos zu mähen. -Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für jemanden der bereits über Akkus und Ladegerät verfügt. Insgesamt eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
