Reviews of the Makita PLM4110 lawn mower

Comment: Immediately broke the gearshift knob. Unrealistic to repair north jibs that can’t replace the handle under warranty or after ordering. Doesn’t provide an option. But you can do without the handle and twist the speed with the whole palm of your hand. NSRI Lavine not quite and they grass, then the motor power is not enough, it starts to brake, but does not stand up. It’s hard to make sure there’s no sideways ejection. Overall it matches what I wanted to get – inexpensive and efficient.

Disadvantages: The E Lastikka handle is a plastic handle. The thing is flimsy. Impractical to operate: difficult to develop.

Advantages: it eats a little gasoline. Very little, as it seemed to me. The engine is good.

Comment: While the purchase is very pleased. Gathers easily, even starts with my woman’s hand. Was afraid that there would be difficulties with movement, because it is not self-propelled, and weighs 27 kg. However, there were no problems, the bike is big and rides fine. Of course, the net has to go on the lawn. But for 3 hours I weeded a very thick grass with the height of 40-50 cm on the area of about 4 acres. And if the grass is low, it is possible to push the brushcutter without much physical effort.

Comment: Very pleased with the work (although not long), the woman took it away and did not let me enjoy it. The site leaned a bit, before I had experience with a homemade alpine with small bikes on sockets, still pushing them uphill and downhill, not always able to choose a comfortable rhythm, four – point regulation extends, had to complete the design. Here everything is comfortable, easy to drive into the slide, hold from the slide.

Disadvantages: By the way, this can be written off on the wrong description, not only on this portal, the bag is claimed 60 liters, in fact 50 liters. However, this is quite enough.

Advantages: camp + large wheels with a clear profile + small width of the bug = easy to move and good maneuverability. Very convenient height adjustment keeps the machine at a certain level in all circumstances. Excellent performance: ergonomics, quality.

Comment: I bought my second one – for the Bronnitsy village. I am not a rally driver myself from Kosh. Very reliable engine. Just stayed in the shed all winter, took it out in the spring and drove it.

Disadvantages: No software control, otherwise I would sleep and it would mow itself.

Cons: Cheap and reliable

Comment: I bought a garden of 20 acres for the village, 4 lawns of about 5 acres. Used to mow with a trimmer, it was a nightmare, then empty, then thick, now the whole lawn is smooth, all the irregularities smoothed, very nice. I read the reviews (poor maneuverability, the plastic throttle handle broke). You have to pull the control arm down to turn the mower, the front wheels go up and on the rear wheels the mower easily turns to either side. Set the throttle grip smoothly, without jerking, then it will not break. Starting the engine depends on the instructions for the mower and the engine. Therefore, read the instructions carefully. Great model price and quality.

Disadvantages: I haven’t found them yet. I don’t think there will be any problems, if I treat it correctly.

Advantages: The quality of processing and assembling, although China is friendly to us (some internet stores claim that the assembling is Germany, don’t believe it, China). The most important is that the American B&S500 engine is powerful and reliable, very easy to start, the mulching function (grinds the grass and leaves into flour, very well fertilizes the lawn), the basket for collecting grass, lightweight, good maneuverability, price.

The comment: 1 The gas cable has torn after a month of operation (the cable jacket has been solved, for work is not critical, but still uncomfortable) 2 Why have not developed a system for cleaning the grass catcher box? Without turning off the mower (for example, two levers, one controls the blade, the second turns off the engine), I mow an area of 8 acres, they turn off 10-15 times to clean the grass catcher box. After hibernation on the street winds up the first or second time.

The commentary: very pleased.

Disadvantages: none

Pro: satisfied, works great. The body is made of metal, everything is very comfortable.

Comment: I had to buy a good and inexpensive mower. I chose Makita, as it is a well-known brand, low price and a good brand motor from B&S. The mowing area is large, about 15 acres. Mowed and even lawn and tall weeds. On a flat lawn it happens that tears the grass and doesn’t mow, had to mow. Picks up weeds gently so they don’t get stuck, machine mows! Cuts the floor, whether it’s mole holes or ant piles, cuts off plum and lilac disc branches. Overall rating is a 4 with a “-“. I have experience with Viking, in comparison, Viking is better in mowing quality, I would rate it a solid 4 “-“.

Disadvantages: poor quality of mowing, leaves shaggy grass, you need to mow.

Advantages: low price, good engine, it can mow tall grass

Comment: The starter broke on the first day

Disadvantages: China, unreliable unit

Advantages: None. The starter was clogged on the first day.

Comment: Now with the purchase of a drainage trimmer pump, I have grown to love this brand. The unit works great and knocks over anything that comes under the blade. In a year of use I haven’t found a single drawback.

Disadvantages: weight, could be made lighter.

Cons: I registered online and got a 3 year warranty. Reel and knife included, didn’t have to buy more. Did not have any problems with starting during the mowing season.

Overall Review: 244

Comment: After a month and a half rather careful use the lever of grass cutting height adjustment broke off. You can tell from the breakage area that the lever was not attached to the base by no more than 20% of its area.

Comment: I had a 32 garden mower before, but somehow it didn’t mow very well, the grass was all in shreds. Took me a long time to choose, but for the money it was the best. Lawn mower is not very sophisticated, they can do without self-service, but the surcharge compared to 4617 is less than a thousand. So there is a point in buying this mower. I read the manual, not having any experience, started it only after an hour. But I am satisfied with the purchase.

Disadvantages: The collector fills up quickly, it is not very convenient to insert it.

Advantages: It mows well, turns on with half a turn, I like the self-sufficiency.

Another Makita lawnmower

I used it twice. 7 tomorrow and 3 hundred parts. The plastic is just fine everywhere. Motor is stiff, no comb, stands dead on, doesn’t hang or creak. Labor separation protection is made of thick plastic.

In the second year of use, no complaints! Started mowing at the dacha! Suggested for a long time to buy something like this for the dacha, but the last time she rested until she came to our house and tried it out.

Picked 22 acres for the house, was looking for a 4 stock (you say durable, quieter and less) and more powerful from 2 horsepower. – The lot is large + behind the fence is grass. At first the choice was the Daewoo Power Products DABC.

At the moment it is on the move. That is why I do not give more power, but it mows fine even with coarse grass. I have not regretted it even once. I bought it for just under 30k on the internet.

It is well made. I was bribed by the information in one of the ratings, as if the Makiten of this series has some kind of clutch between the blade and the engine drive, which protects the mower from the father.

I must immediately say that the machine at 5 for the same price, it is not nice to look for errors (in the neighborhood of 15,000 rubles). First of all, for a self-propelled mower in the neighborhood of 20. 30 thousand rubles, Makita and very, very, very, very looking.

I use the second season. Cat almost all used a knife, I twice used a fishing line – I like the knife better. As written above, mows even small diameter wood. Accidentally touched the metal licker.

My first gasoline mower, so nothing to compare it to. Electric mowed beforehand. The need for standalone work came up and now I bought a Makita. The assembly is made in China, but it is very well made and assembled.

I use it for the 4th season. I bought it in 2010 and it is assembled in Japan. Very, very satisfied, the main thing. Mowing every 1.5 weeks, about five hundred, no less with the ZAund charts. The power of the DV pleases.

For about a month I was deciding on a lawn mower for a 10 acres plot. I read forums, visited stores selling garden equipment, but did not fall for the models presented. The quality of workmanship given.

Review of the Makita Elm 4110 electric lawnmower

Owners reviews

Ruslan, 41 years old:

“I have a Makita PLM 4110, bought a year ago, still works, used 7 times. Simple and lightweight model with no frills. To make everything work, you can not start the lawn, the grass grows – begins: hum, brake, clean knife. By the way, the grass collection basket has less than 60 liters.”

Dmitry, 56 years old:

“My Makita is a chainsaw, the engine is great, but everything else is not so… Bumped into a rock in the grass – the shaft bent, the knife in general had to be replaced, everything flies out of the pocket, the cutter either tears or does not work. But the height adjustment is practical. There are even better mowers on the market. “

Nicholas, 30 years:

“Definitely – did not like it, returned after the first breakdown (a week after purchase). Question to the manufacturer: Is this the same praised Makita? And what about the quality of machining and other nonsense?
