As we enter 2017, it looks like the debate between using a battery or a corded electric lawn mower will never be settled. Still, the Makita DLM380Z lawn mower makes a strong argument for battery-powered electric lawn mowers. The lithium-ion battery produces 2 X 18 AC input voltage. Long-lasting power lets you mow larger lawns without taking the time to recharge the battery. Along with long-lasting power, you also benefit from the large grass catcher, which means fewer trips to the compost pile.
Standing nearly 40 inches tall, this trimmer features an ergonomically designed frame that takes pressure off your hands, wrists, and arms. In fact, tests show the mower has little to no trouble working. Although heavier than other battery electric mower models, the DLM380Z performs admirably when mowing corners of the lawn as well as around trees and bushes. The simple height adjustment lever makes it easy to select the correct mowing height with its simplicity and ease of use, so overall this mower is at the front of the class for battery electric mowers .
This affordable lawnmower has a few drawbacks. People with arthritic finger and hand pain may not like the thin grip. It takes some force to pull the lever and point it where you want the mower to be. In addition, several tests have shown that the handle causes blisters after prolonged use of the trimmer. So remember to wear gloves when buying the Makita DLM380Z lawnmower.
