Makita ELM3711

Advantages: price performance, serves the third season

Disadvantages: the engine supporting structure is plastic, that is, the engine stator carrier is plastic, so if the knife flies into a large bulygan, the centering flies (and the stator can be rotated by the rotor, as happened by inexperience, in the second week of operation it hit the blade of a tractor plow, prikopannogo from the neighbor's fence - I had to immediately buy a new one, good price) and it almost did not recover

Comment: In general, very good. Yes, the screws take off, the bolts are lost - screw in new ones, lock and forget ... I have a mowing area of ​​about 15 acres (village). Of these, the garden-garden - about 3 the rest - runs. I used to suffer with a scythe - over the week everything grows over, but it is still too early to trim it up - the grass is small + forbs - where there is clover, where the ant is, there is thistle, and in 2-3 weeks it is anthills + gully, who has waved obliquely and 10 times waved and into the ground ... Now my runs look like a golf course - the turf has strengthened. unevenness no more wheelbase mowers.
It's all about mowing technology. further instruction
1. Grass above the knee beforehand to knock down on a large side, who owns or trimmer - at the same time allows you to see the stones and big bumps, that for a mower - death ...
2. Hang the collection box on the hook and secure the back cover (with a rope) for the crossbar of the upper fan casing at 45 degrees to the ground
3. first time (s) adjust to maximum height
4. If the mower goes tight or mow the grass somewhere under the knee - use the following technique - lift 45 degrees on the rear wheels - move forward and pull back (i.e., high grass or a possible bump in two passes), if you force on then the plastic skirt inside which the knife rotates is deformed and the edges of the knife will grind it.
5. leave the grass to be thrown out if the plot is uneven - after the season the grass fertilizer does its job - the lawn will level off
6. take the grass collector off the hook (you can rearrange the wheels lower) and walk with it around the ceremonial places - for beauty and as a vacuum cleaner so as not to carry the grass into the house with your feet
7. something like that, now it takes about 2-3 hours for 12 acres, well, the garden garden still has the same amount - there you need to dress the grass collector so that the beds are not littered + trimmer at the corners, which is inevitable

Advantages: Good value for money
Relatively easy (a child of 13 years old copes, I just have to take out from home)
Takes high grass
Mows close to the fence
Network Connection Indicator

Disadvantages: the screw of fastening of the handle flew out (to find an analog is not a problem)
The fill indicator is symbolic - there seems to be another place, and suddenly everything is ...

Comment: Bought this spring. Mowed regularly. Worked season without problems. The quality is good, although for the first mowing I would like to leave the grass higher. The volume of the collector suits - it will be more difficult to endure. All the grass goes into it if you do not wait for the overflow. Mows smoothly and quickly.Before trying to mow trimer - and crookedly it turns out, and much slower. As for the quick filling of the grass collector, do not let the grass outgrow. It is generally recommended to mow no more than a third of the height at a time :)

3. Folding handles
4. Much quieter and no stench, unlike gasoline.

4. Small mowing width.
5. Knife made of mild steel (hit a couple of stones so the whole notch became)
6. Small container for grass. The container is quickly filled with grass.

In general, a good electric lawn mower. There are drawbacks, but they are more than covered by the low cost of a lawn mower.
The recommended cutting area is 500 sq.m.
Three levels of mowing grass 20 mm., 40 mm. and 55 mm.
Grass container 35 l.
The cutting width is 370 mm.
Power consumption 1300 watts.
The material is plastic.
Weight 14 kg.

Advantages: inexpensive (although Makita), unpretentious, it seems reliable.

Disadvantages: "diligent": the bag is quickly filled.

Comment: At once: in the description this photo is not given of this model, but 4611 is not fundamentally, of course, but still. I bought it at the beginning of the year (14) for my plot (6 acres), I used it all summer - once every 2 weeks. The plot is relatively flat: drops 2-3cm. I really like how it mows: smooth, fast. I flew on stones a couple of times: there are small dents on the knife, but they do not affect the quality of the mowing. The sound resembles the smooth hum of the An-24; 96 dB is written on the mower. The only negative (if you can call it that) bag is quickly filled: a passage of 15 meters, grass 20cm and the bag is full. So you run - you sleep. TIP for beginners (like me): for connection on the lawn mower a recessed plug is installed, so immediately buy and make a small adapter "socket on the surface" -will. In general, the mower is good, I advise.

Disadvantages: Mowing managed just a couple of times. Unscrew the wheel and fell under the knife. Very worthless mounting at the wheels - you need to twist before each mowing. I called the service center - they were very surprised about such a breakdown. They said that they do not even have such a heading as a wheel. The price can not say. Of course, you can order a wheel, but the delivery time will be very long ...

Advantages: For the price a great product

Disadvantages: Maneuverability and grass catcher

Comment: I just bought it, the wife mowed it on the weekend, she herself expressed a desire, she didn’t take the trimmer, and here I will mow! If we take into account that the grass was running, about 20 cm, and there are irregularities on the site, the machine is beast, but the collection box was quickly filled, the mount was plastic, but from the designer’s point of view, I’ll say that thoughtfully, I hope it won’t break if used carefully. Not maneuverable, well, of course, 4 wheels + cable. He took to mow the lawn, all trimmer hard. I have not yet found any particular flaws.

After operating for 11 months, I want to add, when turning off, the knife axis is wedging, so that the engine starts spinning, you need to manually scroll the knife and then turn it on. Carried under warranty repair. It turned out that the brake mount was torn off, they said not a warranty case. Repair: removal of a brake 800r, or replacement of the engine 3000r. While I think what to do next!

Advantages: Powerful enough motor, unexpectedly for 1300 W

Disadvantages: All the rest. I do not know why she and her classmates are praised here, but utterly junk.Only good for a small lawn 10x10 m with perfect grass. Otherwise - in vain wasted money. In the first mowing took off screws-holders of handles. In a not very thick grass above 10 cm, it is already beginning to get bogged down, the collection box is generally about nothing, it is necessary to shake out every 20 m.

Comment: I bought this “miracle” on May 28, managed to mow 2.5 times about 10 hectares of lawn, on June 7 it broke: it buzzes and does not twist. The knife is blunt after the first mowing, the grass catcher is clogged instantly. You go, suddenly time! The wheel fell off! The height adjuster is generally chicken laugh: not on the side, like on normal mowers, in 10 mm increments, but ... you need to unscrew all 4 wheels (!) And twist them into new holes, of which there are only three in height .. It would be funny if it would not be sad ... In a word, this device does not fit categorically for large grass areas: choose something more powerful (in my experience at least 2 kW, with a collection of at least 40-50 kg, but there are almost no such now and they really expensive), or benzokosu. I called the store where I took it and said: "Take your miracle!" They promised yesterday, they sent SMS, but did not arrive. I will understand further. People, do not buy cheap electric mowers! Save your nerves and time! Believe me, as the former owner of the more “advanced” and powerful Sabo (2.3 kW) and Black & Decker (1, 8 kW), I know what I'm saying!

Advantages: Relatively inexpensive (from "brand" manufacturers).
Smooth start. Not noisy.
Mows close to the fence (but not tight).

Disadvantages: For us, the main disadvantage is the grass collection bag:
1. Small volume - you have to shake it out after 20 meters of “mowing”.
2. Poor construction / plastic - after the first mowing, I found "breakaway" corners of the bottom (near the hole where the grass flies). Here we have already written about this situation. After the second time, I found a horizontal crack on one side (in the same place where the “corners” had broken off the day before). The crack goes clearly along the "seam" .. Will it progress?! .. most likely "yes."
Under the guarantee does not fall (according to SC).

Once unscrewed the front wheel .. probably need to put Grover.
Model new, "consumables" (the same bag) for it yet

Comment: Mower is NOT for the lazy - a flat area with low grass :)
We have grass ~ 7 acres. Grass 5 to 15 cm tall. On the "high" grass, the mower "chokes" .. Probably it was necessary to take more powerful .. or mow more often :)

Advantages: Well shears, even not loud sound, everything is very well done. Starts smoothly.

Disadvantages: Heavier than their Chinese counterparts. It is better not to talk about maneuverability. I had another one and another one, those are just feathers in comparison with this one. This one goes like a tank.

Comment: Good, solid machine, works and does not yell at all "Ivanovo"

Advantages: The beast! Mows great! Grass bag is a convenient indicator of fullness

Disadvantages: A small bag for the grass, didn’t drive right along the fence, did the wheels wisely, and on the handle the fastener 3 cm sticks out, the shaky plastic in the bottom of the bag, cracked the corners during the first operation (does not affect anything)

Comment: This is my first gozonokosilka, reviews pointed to 3710, took 3711, it seems the same, just thought out the wheels, do not stick out. Chose and not lost. A plot of 5 acres, meadow grass 10 cm with a smooth transition to a swampy with horse sorrel 30 cm. Clear bumps removed, but there are irregularities. Put on the highest level of 55 mm and mowed the area in 2 hours! And then cautious at the beginning, and so it is possible in an hour. The biggest difficulty is that the grass bag is filled with my grass on average 15-20 cm in about 30-40 meters, I shoveled the bag about every 4 minutes. Of course, evil tongues will say you need to mow more often and they will be right, because with such ease I am ready to mow the grass much more often.I have grown this grass about a month after mowing with a trimmer; once every 2 weeks the mower will be the one. And most importantly the speed, I would have spent the trimmer on the same plot to mow and collect 1.5 days, and then 2 hours, feel the difference. THE BEAST! Trimmer smokes on the side. And what result, all, a meadow with a bog turn into a football field. In the process of mowing one bump hooked with a knife, nothing broke and nothing happened at all, lifted and rode on. It does not work without a bag, the flap closes the hole and after 10 seconds everything is clogged with grass. When the bag fills the grass wakes up from below, ignore will not work if you need a clean lawn. In the future, I plan to build a bag for more grass out of plywood, there is nothing tricky there. I advise you to take 4300 super units for this money, it justifies its price by 136%.
