Electric Lawn Mower is a “Tool of Civilization”! Surprisingly Efficient Makita MLM330DZ

Electric Lawn Mower Makita MLM330DZ
*DZ = Body Only (Limited Stock)

I tried it out right away in the lawn mowing area.
It cuts terrifyingly well.
And I’m not tired at all…
*Manual, our company comparison

However,
manual mowers have their own advantages.

Something I noticed while using it
The grass collection basket is tilted.

Because of that angle,
grass inevitably remains on the body side
You need to either wheelie and tap it,
or remove it by hand

Since it cuts easily with electric power,
I’m mowing more than I expected.
You need to empty it frequently.

If you work at an unreasonable cutting height…
It won’t fit in the grass basket
It “spits out”
Lower the cutting height gradually

A switch I’d like to see improved for better convenience


It’s necessary for safety to prevent accidental operation,
so there’s only so much we can do about it.
Just get used to it♪

Cutting Height MAX 75MM

Cutting Height MIN 20MM

I realized the grass is taller
than I thought it was.

Of course,
if you try to cut long grass down to a low height all at once,
it will stop.
*Heavy load
You need to cut gradually.
The lawn mower has a low rotation speed of 4300

Basically, it’s a rolling “brush cutter”,
so it gets dirty all over after use.
Cleaning and maintenance are essential after use.

Rather than washing with water,
wiping it down is faster
and dirt won’t stick as easily next time

After reading this far, you might feel like it’s mediocre,
but

MLM330DZ Pros and Cons I Experienced

• Quiet sound
  A muffled, low tone
  This might be thanks to the plastic body.
  With a low rotation speed of 4300, that’s probably why it’s so good.
• Light and easy to push
  Unlike manual mowers, it moves forward smoothly and is incomparably easier♪
  Even women can handle it easily.
  However, with four wheels and a long overall length, turning is difficult.
• Overgrown grass and weeds are instantly destroyed
  It cuts them down effortlessly.
  I wonder what I was struggling with all this time…
• Battery life is so-so
  One charge covering two tennis courts is only possible for very experienced users.
  You should expect about half that.
• Occasionally spits out
  If you cut at an unreasonable height, it won’t fit and spits out. You have to accept this to some degree.
  The angle of the grass basket might also be a factor
• Empty the grass basket frequently
  Like manual mowers, it cuts more than you’d expect. Since it’s electric and works faster, it fills up in no time
• Switch on/off is tedious
  There’s a safety button, so you have to release your hand to press it
• Handle doesn’t fold completely for storage
  It’s nice that it folds, but the lock doesn’t hold (the base does fold and lock). If it folded completely, it would feel better.
  
  

Overall, it’s a really great item.
You’ll think “Wow, this is so convenient!”
However,
for the final finishing touches,
manual mowers might be unbeatable.
Wheel marks and spitting grass
Finish with a manual mower
which has better maneuverability and cuts more gently.
