The Makita DLM537Z is a high-performance cordless lawn mower designed for homeowners and gardening enthusiasts who want efficiency, convenience, and reliable power in one compact machine. Powered by a single or dual 18 V Li-ion battery system (depending on the configuration), this model combines the mobility of a cordless mower with the strength and reliability of traditional petrol models.
The mower comes with a compatible Makita battery and rapid charger, allowing you to mow immediately without worrying about cords or fuel. Its wide cutting deck and self-propelled system make it suitable for medium to large lawns, reducing the effort required while delivering a precise and professional finish.
With brushless motor technology, the DLM537Z provides consistent cutting power while remaining quieter and more efficient than traditional brushed motors. Multi-functional mowing options such as grass collection, mulching, and side discharge allow for flexibility to suit different lawn conditions and preferences. The mower also features an adjustable cutting height, a generous grass collector, and a foldable handle for convenient storage.
