Makita PLM5116P
Good Points
- Wash nozzle for easy cleaning underneath the housing.
- Quick-release folding handle.
- Very comfortable upturned handle with rubber grip and very good height adjustment, however, it bounces up and down a fair bit while pushing the mower.
- Very good controls.
- Easy to convert from catcher to mulching mode
Bad Points
- Only OK mulching performance when mulching medium length grass, it leaves a row of grass behind without mulching it.
- Limited number of cutting heights (5 positions) with limited height range.
- Vibration of the handle is noticeable but not too uncomfortable.
- Quite tiring to push and manoeuvre due to the heavy weight of the mower.
- Cutting height requires a fair amount of effort to adjust.
- Starter cord requires strength in shoulders to pull.
- The catcher is easy to remove and fit, but doesn't have a second handle for easy emptying. The catcher has holes on both sides, which let small grass clippings and dust through.
