Grass can also be returned to your lawn as a nutritious mulch that helps to keep your grass greener and healthier.

Specification

We now look at the features in more detail:

• Cutting Performance - The Makita DLM460Z Lawn Mower has a 46cm cutting blade and an adjustable cutting height with ten pre-set options between 20mm and 75mm that are controlled with a single lever. The mower is designed for large lawns up to 800 square metres in size. It also has a two tooth blade.
• Cordless - The mower takes twin 18V (36V) lithium-ion LXT slide type batteries. There's an indicator which shows the power level of each battery in three stages. Note, however, that batteries and the charger are sold separately. The mower has a brushless motor which is soft-start and achieves up to 3300RPM and 1450W.
• Grass Bag / Mulching - An extra-large 60 litre grass collection bag minimises the number of times it needs emptying, therefore letting you concentrate more on mowing. The mower also has mulching functionality which releases finely cut grass trimmings back to your lawn/soil. This mulch is often high in nutrients and essentially acts as a natural fertiliser.
• Design - The mower is easy to push, highly manoeuvrable and features a long lasting steel deck. The mower has in-built ball bearings on the axles for added durability.
• Child Lock - The mower comes with a child lock key to prevent accidental start up.

Summary

All things considered, the Makita DLM460Z Lawn Mower is a powerful cordless mower. Its wide 46cm cutting width together with its height-adjustable blade give you a high level of control over your lawn, letting you cut it in a way to meet your preferences. We particularly like the mower's cordless nature, large grass bag, mulching functionality and highly manoeuvrable design. We rate the Makita DLM460Z Lawn Mower 4.5 out of 5 stars.
