I believe this kit normally sells for about $750.

Features

  • 2 tooth bar blade
  • High power brushless motor provides 3,300rpm
  • 18” heavy duty steel deck
  • Quiet mode keeps motor at 2,500rpm for lower noise output

The DLM464 is powered by two 18V Li-ion batteries so you get 36V of power and runtime without leaving the 18V platform. The heavy-duty steel deck has a cutting width of 460mm (18”) and unlike its predecessor (DLM461) it runs at 3,300rpm the whole time whilst in use, providing you with maximum power throughout your job. The mower also features a quiet mode for minimum noise output as well as allowing the user to either mulch or collect grass efficiently through the full rear chute.

Includes 2x 5.0Ah batteries and same time dual port rapid charger.

    Is this a deal? Normal price is…?

    • Basesub on 20/11/2022 - 14:31

      Not normal price. Bunnings staff mentioned only this price for about 2 more days. Sold out in most bunnings stores in VIC (eastern suburbs).

            @keegs: On top of better build quality in general you also get a 5-year warranty on the Makita if you register it within 30 days of purchase. If it's within the Op's budget I would get the Makita.

      More grunt and will probably last longer than OziTOY kit. Even says there "Intended for DIY use only" whereas Makita one does not say that.

      I have ozito tools which are good for the price when on sale. Makita is in a different league. This mower is pretty solid. Much more solid deck when I compared to other brands I looked at in store. My old masport lasted 10 years due to the weak thin deck. Most people overlook this when buying mowers.

        As a proud makita owner, I gotta say their lawn mowers are not as good as their tools. Not to say theyre bad… I bought this deal. But credit where due… the ozito steel deck mower is equally good on paper.

        Makita need to do more with their mowers if they want to be superior… aluminium deck, better fold away handles, hard catcher. Anything like that.

        • TheFyrd on 20/11/2022 - 20:33

          This has been the general consensus regarding the Makita lawnmowers they're not up to the same standard as their other tools. For example, comparing Makita to Ego, which is still in a league of its own, this deal is pretty good, if I were looking to buy a lawnmower I'd go with this.

    • Gonltruck on 20/11/2022 - 15:51

      At least link a steel deck Ozito, that would be a closer fight that Makita will still win, but you just linked a plastic toy.

      • MisterNobody on 22/11/2022 - 21:59

        Yes, the plastic ozito are garbage. Their steel deck is another story.

    • whitepuma on 20/11/2022 - 16:02

      Comparing ozito with Makita is like comparing a great wall with a Toyota.

      Makita has a reputation of making power tools of all sorts they are incredibly reliable. I have only seen a Makita die twice: 1. I accidentally an angle grinder out in the rain……for a few months
      2. I saw a builder drop a drill off of a 5 story building.

      Ozitos on the other hand, I see them break all the time, ozitos batteries are decent, but everything else on their platform are not built to last.

      Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, matabo, festools are all in the same boat as being all very high quality power tools.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/11/2022 - 16:05

      Brushless steel deck with 460mm cutting width and 5a batteries, vs brushed plastic deck 370mm cutting deck and 4a batteries.

      Basically the Makita is going to be bigger, more powerful, more efficient, last longer on a charge, and built better

    • Ebany on 20/11/2022 - 16:07
      +3

      The Makita is a steel base, the Ozito is aliminium.
      The Makita has a wider cut area of 460mm, the Ozito only has 370mm
      The Makita has 2x 18v 5ah batteries, the Ozito only has 2x 18v 4ah batteries
      The Makita is brushless,
      The Makita runs the same rpm with or without load,
      My advice as someone who uses 18v tools every single working day:
      Only buy Ozito if price is your concern and not reliability, power, precision, durability, or functionality.

    • huntabargain on 20/11/2022 - 16:15

      Do you have a clue what you saying? one is plastic body vs metal body. 4ah battery vs 5ah, brushless vs, brushed motor, 60lr catcher vs 45lr catcher, 46cm wide vs 37cm wide, Makita, vs Ozito.
      Do you want more reasons???

          Well that is completely different mower to the linked one and probably was limited / short time as understand has not been for sale for long while and does not come with the free blower worth $240. But at 32kg that is a very heavy mower to handle!!

          • Agent Q on 20/11/2022 - 20:24

            @huntabargain: self propelled and got the equivalent blower for $30 a couple years back.

            https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/564606

            • huntabargain on 20/11/2022 - 21:19

              @Agent Q: I received the Makita Blower and as I already had one, sold it for $200 on FM. People who understand quality product are prepared to pay for it, rather than other junk brands.

              This Ozito mower not available to buy tho even at high price, right? and I won't buy self propelled mowers as they are extremely heavy and hard to manoeuvre around corners, trees, garden beds or reverse. They might work with straight large plain lawn which is hard to find.

              They say buy quality products once as it is eventually cheaper on long time. I bought couple of tools/appliance from Aldi and end up in bin as they break down and lucky if they last the warranty period or if you manage to find the receipt. You get to learn the hard way.. so good luck with your purchase.

    • Ebany on 20/11/2022 - 15:47

      I would not use Ozito's warranty as a guide.

      Ozito have that warranty because only DIY ppl purchase their (battery driven) gear, it's under-powered and won't last. No tradesman gives a hoot about replacement warranty, they care about tool reliability and not having their tools kark it half way through a job. Ozito have their place, I use them (e.g. 240v jackhammer) for once-off jobs where I know the tool will be trashed

      You should also check the conditions under warranty replacement. May find the batteries aren't considered defective unless they hold 20% charge or less, or a tool may only be replaced once, etc. Ozito is slowly getting better but I would buy unless it was a cheap item or something you'd only use once every 6 months.

  • original15 on 20/11/2022 - 15:07

    • zo32 on 20/11/2022 - 21:25

      The best time to buy this is when the tool shops have their trade night. I bought the 1903 kit with the extra blower for $999 and got an extra $200 to spend in store on the trade night

      • michael9865 on 20/11/2022 - 21:41

        Oh, do you know when they have those and can normal people shop then or do i need some sort of trade membership card

        • zo32 on 22/11/2022 - 08:20

          Anyone can shop on those nights. Subscribe to both Total Tools and Sydney tools and they will send you an email when they have those nights which is usually 3 times a year. On top of this they also do brand nights for Makita, Milwaukee and Dewalt, but on those nights, it only applies to that particular brand

      • Shroomlet on 21/11/2022 - 06:05

        Is the 1903 kit good? I'm very interested in picking it up…maybe getting them to charge the 1k so I can redemption the line trainer

  • huntabargain on 20/11/2022 - 16:21

    It is been for $660 for couple of months now. I guess they are matching another store price so they won't be forced to price beat it.

    We got one of these kits with 2x6Ah batteries and the blower about two years ago. It's been excellent (does our 800m^2 block on one charge) and I've bought more Makita tools since! Had expected to sell the bonus blower but that's been really useful too.

  • Shroomlet on 20/11/2022 - 19:52

    Question for the hivemind, I already have 18V Makita drills. Should I invest in the above mower, then buy a line trimmer, roughly hitting around $1k, or should I invest the same $1k within EGO Power gear for similar gear?

    • huntabargain on 20/11/2022 - 20:08

      Makita mower kit $660 inc free blower, Makita line trimmer kit with charger and 5ah battery is $285. (total $945) I think similar Ego would be much higher than that? Ego might be a bit better tho..

  • jlogic on 21/11/2022 - 00:43

    Bought this last year with the DUB blower.

    Had a petrol mower before this and for all intents and purposes it does the job.

    However nothing beats a petrol mower on thick grass.

    With this if you have thick grass… you will need to cut it progressively down or face multiple stoppages due to the motor cutting out. Not deal breaking if you know what to look for and adjust your mowing pattern. I go slower and have a slightly more overlap to allow for the mower to ease into the cutting. Whereas the petrol one, you could brute force it.

    But hey my hearing is being looked after. This thing is quiet for a lawn mower.

    Nice review here from 2020, model number is slightly different but I think it's the same.

  • zo32 on 22/11/2022 - 09:19

    I tested this mower and can say its solid and feels well made. It was light and very easy to manoeuvre and cuts the grass nice and cleanly.

    Having said that, I didn't end up buying it because the dead man's handle is very stiff. Using this for more than 5 minutes will give you very sore wrists as it requires a fair bit of resistance. One option is to zip tie the lever, but I wasn't prepared to do this so I went with the EGO mower instead, even though I'm on the Makita platform

  • MisterNobody on 13/12/2022 - 08:45

    Ive now owned this for a few months. Heres my review…

    Power is good. You have to give it a fair bit for it to stall. Petrol generally gives you some feedback its about to stall and you can tilt the mower up or roll back to give it a break.. and it will rev back up. This mower just stalls without warning. I'd say not am issue for domestic, but if you own a rural property and need to hack the lawn every X weeks it might be annoying.

    Plenty of runtime in 2x5.0h. I do about 200sqm easily with 1/4 battery remaining.

    The saftey bar is BAD. The pressure required to hold the bar is horrible. I think it may suit people with smaller hands, but larger hands struggle to put the pressure on the small diameter handle+bar. Note: mower needs to be powered on for you to experience this. Doing so on the shop floor it will seem easy as… its only when its got power.

    The catcher is very average. But i suppose it works. Theres a flap that is clipped on and falls off easy.

    The mulcher attachment is awesome! You will probably never use the catcher unless you want the leaves collected.

    Wheels are good, it rolls super easy. Good height adjustment. Handle could fold down and be more compact when storing.

    New blades readily available, cheap and easy to replace.

    Assembly takes about 3mins.

    All in all, good mower but there's room for improvement.
