Makita DLM432Z Twin Li-ion LXT Cordless Lawn Mower, Batteries and Charger Not Included, Blue, 43 cm, 18V (36V)

Product Information

The DLM432 is a high-performance cordless machine that takes full advantage of Makita’s incredibly popular LXT range of 18-volt Lithium-ion batteries. The mower takes two batteries at once and connects them in series to deliver 36 volts to the motor, allowing for better torque to the blade. The grass collector on this Makita is semi rigid construction, meaning it has a hard plastic top and bottom but a cloth central surround. The advantage of this type of collector is when it comes to storage as the grass collector will fold flat nicely. The disadvantage of this design is the cloth surround can get damaged and torn more easily than a completely solid construction. Having said that the cloth webbing material used is what you would expect from Makita, good quality that should last well if looked after. Another outstanding feature of this model is that is has a good sized 50-Litre grass collector. This will also add to the speed to which you can mow the lawn as it means fewer trips to empty it out. Better still, it is really easy to remove or replace and has a level indicator so you know when to empty it out.

Let’s take a look at some of the key features and then I will go into more detail on the important points to note. Main Features The Makita DLM431Z has a largish footprint due to the width of the mower. The 2 screw clips on the side of the handles allows for the top handle to be folded down to reduce storage space. A further 2 larger screws near the base of the mower allow the upper and lower bars to be folder down, again reducing storage. The features of this Makita DLM431Z mower speak for themselves. It is fast, robust and easy to move. The 43cm cutting width and a big grass collection box will save you time and effort. The brand is well established and trusted and this popular lawnmower is well received by customers. It has proved to be reliable, durable and perfectly suited to medium and large sized lawns. Mulching This model, like most cordless lawnmowers in this category, does not have a specific mulching feature. That is not to say you cannot add grass clippings to other organic material to create great compost. If you cut regularly, you could get away with leaving the grass collector off and let the clippings remain on the cut grass. Only do this if it is a minor trim.Two 18V LXT Li-Ion batteries deliver the power and run time for corded demands without leaving the 18V LXT platform

An additional element is a current limiter that will reduce noise and vibration while preventing any overload. The DLM432 is a high-performance cordless machine that takes full advantage of Makita’s incredibly popular LXT range of 18 volt Lithium-ion batteries. The mower takes two batteries at once and connects them in series to deliver 36 volts to the motor, allowing for better torque to the blade.

As with many cordless models and lawnmowers designed for small to medium gardens, this lawnmower does not have a rear roller for stripes. While a great feature in certain circumstances, it does require regular mowing and acute operation. It is not ideal for all gardens. The perfectionist and the average person will appreciate the wide range of options. If you want a perfect lawn all year round, this is a great option.
