I'm not sure exactly why - it bogs down and clogs up, failing to eject the grass into the bag properly. The mechanism which allows the front wheels to be raised and lowered means the wheels are sort of stuck out on metal bars which are rather flimsy. It easily manages its 400 square meters at a grass height of about 10 cm, which it owes to its powerful 5 Ah batteries.

The 430mm plastic deck makes this mower lightweight and easy to use and transport, while being powerful and durable at the same time. Due to my petrol mowers engine dieing my front lawn was well over grown but this makita mower managed to do the job great.Was initially impressed with it for maintenence cutting but I then decided to scalp it on its lowest setting (20mm) from 50mm and it had no power at all.
