Great part 39

I opted for the Makita cordless mower because I was fed up, always move here a cable behind me to strangle almost in when times change direction, and because there was always the danger that one passes over the cable and therefore scrapped , In addition, I possess diverse 18V cordless tools from Makita, some 3 Ah batteries and two chargers, so I had to buy only the mower with the battery adapter. Our lawn is also ideal with about 250 square meters to be cut with a mower battery, but because L-shape an ordeal for any wired device.

Today it is therefore arrived, the battery mower, and I had him try it. First conclusion: Great part.

With 94 dB exactly 5 dB louder than the wired predecessor from Aldi (which also is not bad, but very difficult, cumbersome and even with cable), what might be measured, but you do not hear the difference.

The Makita is light and light-footed: Ball bearing wheel axis he pushes much easier than the Aldi-Klotz. The power of two connected using the supplied adapter 18V-battery is very impressive and is wired mowers this category in every way. The build quality is great, as you are used to it by Makita. Sly is a kind of key that can be drawn from the "Ignition" under the battery cover completely and do if you tampered with the device, making it clean or around waving the knife. Without the red plastic key, the engine may not start and so it prevents accidents. When cable mowers pulling the plug before, here the key, because yes the batteries are always onboard and ready to go.

The mowing performance is amazing. Although my grass was not too high, but wet and there were a lot of leaves and chestnuts on the grass. Which has not only mitgemäht but nice clean collected in the grass catcher Makita. Thus You will also save even the leaves sweeping. Prima. Something went wrong with my old lawnmower. As always lay half and you had to sweep up.

Thoughts, the designers have also made the exterior design. The sliding beams / handle can be turned so that you can put the lawn mower was safely on the back (which belongs in the operation of the grass catcher).

All in all a great device, especially for those who already have 36V or 18V devices from Makita, because you can use existing chargers and batteries. As a complete unit with 36V battery and -Lader I had not bought it, because too expensive. With existing 18V accessories, the price below 300 euros in my opinion, however, is a bargain.

Before buying I searched the net for testimonials and not one found, not even in English or Japanese!

However, I did as well some negative experiences for Rotak cordless mowers from Bosch found the well is comparable in terms of performance and size with the Makita. And because the Bosch comes away not good. Are sometimes more engine failures on electric motor criticized a lousy workmanship with bent plastic nipples of height adjustment, etc.

I hope that spared me the Makita so.

By the way: In the Makita website can be for all battery-powered devices, including the battery mowers, extend through registering the warranty to three years for free !!! But only goes to four weeks after the purchase, so think most equal to it. For batteries can extend the warranty in the same way from one to two years.

From my other 18V devices such as Makita circular saw, reciprocating saw, cordless screwdrivers 2, 2 vacuum cleaners and cordless fan I am always thrilled, and I think the pleasure will last for the long lawn mower. If not, I will report it here of course.
