Makita DLM532Z Review

The Makita DLM532Z Lawn Mower is a powerful and lightweight mower which is designed for large lawns. It has an extra-large 53mm cutting diameter and a 10-stage adjustable height which can be set between 20mm and 100mm. The mower has a cordless design which has the advantage of not being restricted to use around a power socket. It's powered by twin 18V (36V) lithium-ion LXT batteries.

The mower has a number of other useful and convenient features. One of these is mulching functionality which returns finely cut and nutrient-rich grass back to your lawn to act as a natural fertiliser. The mower's grass box is extra-large with a 70 litre capacity and a handy grass level indicator. We like the fact that the mower can be used in wet weather. We also like the child lock key that stops accidental start ups.
