I've been tempted before when it's been on sale for about $750 with bonus redemptions (e.g. blower etc.) but at this price I finally pulled the trigger. Online it looks like a price drop rather than a sale, but in store it was still $850 rrp with a $599 sale sticker. Probably means it's a run-out and about to be replaced with a newer model or something.

Kit includes:

  • DLM464Z 36V (18Vx2) Brushless Lawn Mower
  • 2 x 5Ah batteries
  • Dual port fast charger
  • Mulching plug

BTW the charger and batteries go for $329 on their own (see here) so if you're like me and still slumming it with a single port changer then this makes it a bit more worthwhile.

Edit: same price at Sydney Tools

            here is the model I guess Ozito PXC 36V 2 x 18V 335mm Lawn Mower 3.0Ah Kit PXLMK-3182 - Bunnings Australia https://share.google/Re3qb7w7C3yaqMg1a

              @cciputra: I will give you some difference not all points.
              30lr vs 60lr catcher
              Brushless vs Brushed motor
              2x5amp vs 2x3amp batteries
              Steel vs plastic body
              Ozito is DIY only - imply soft use and warranty void otherwise
              Nominal 800m² area vs 300m²
              Superior quality overall
              460mm vs 335mm cutting width
              Ozito will struggle with moderate thick grass much worst performance than Makita.
              PS: if your budget is max $329 and wants to get cordless mower then buy it at your own risk otherwise get a petrol mower.

              @cciputra: I have the Makita and previsouly the ozito, the ozito is fine if you have a tiny lawn that never gets overgrown, but anything more than that, it just doesn't cut it. Ozito is also plastic vs the steel deck of the makita. In terms of quality, no comparison

    • miicah on 11/05/2026 - 15:52

      I have this one.

      • 45L catcher is a bit small and it doesn't have as much oomph to throw the grass all the way to the back
      • Plastic body means it's easy to maneuverer and less fatiguing. I have no concerns about the longevity (no rust possible!)
      • 4.0ah is a bit limiting, if you cut too low on thick grass it really chews batteries
      • Secondly to that, it means I sometimes have to mow twice at two different heights to get the most of out of the battery life
      • The safety handle is easy to use, I have heard anecdotal complaints that the Makita one has quite a heavy spring

      At the time I decided against the Makita as the cheapest steel deck 36v was NOT brushless, though it seems they've rectified that. I also didn't like that they didn't offer a plastic deck 36v, it was almost like "if you want power, you have to go steel deck", where Ozito actually gave you a choice.

      I just got mine yesterday and I too am quite happy with it after using it for the first time. Complaints about the trigger handle are overdone in my opinion, not that hard to hold it in while using it.
      Paid $749 for it but got $150 instore credit at TKD for it and the free blower that will be sold as I already have a 36V blower.

        Best to use a ozito charger with ozito batteries. I was just saying that you could use existing batteries…. $350 for batteries seems steep that's all. These batteries all have 18650 or similar cells with a BMS.

        I "need" most except the hedger… However I can see value in phasing out my Ryobi tools for Makita.

        I havent picked it up yet cause the blower is still on back order. I wonder if they would let me change it out prior anyway.

        Only real concern is the 42cm deck and the plastic deck compared to the Makitas steel deck and 46cm

      Depends on what you are after. Just for gardening, the deal you highlighted is a great price.
      If you want to use your batteries and expand into the tool ecosystem, by simplifying how many chargers and batteries you have, better off with Makita .

          How big is the block you need to mow and how dense/what type is the grass?

          Ego are considered to be great for electric gardening. Apparently can be a bit difficult to deal with if you do have issues. The plastic deck may be an issue depending on your terrain

          I am currently using a (now discontinued) Victa 82v 21 inch with a steel deck, and it has been faultless, apart from having to replace the battery at quite a high cost.

      • RedSky1 on 11/05/2026 - 11:11

        its a double edged sword, as my old Ryobi 36v lithium mower is light as 13kg, great for carrying if you need to get it up a level or stairs, but the lightness does contribute slightly to a worse evenness cut and bounces over things a little bit (heavily lawn type/height/flatness dependent)

    The deal was much better when i bought the same lawn mower for $749 and I got a 36v blower as an instore offer and 2 extra 5Ah batteries through online redemption. So $150 extra compared to this deal but 2 batteries and the blower were definitely worth it.

      Yeah, there have been multiple deals on it before, but whether they were better or not depends on whether you wanted to pay more for those extras. In my case, I have a bunch of Makita gear so I already have 4 batteries. The extra 2 batteries plus the double charger in this kit are a nice addition and gets me to where I want to be overall. However, I don't really need a blower and 2 more batteries for another $150. You could probably sell those for >$150 but that's uncertain and extra effort compared to just grabbing the mower kit for $599.

      As someone above said, the $750 TKD deal with the blower and $150 credit is pretty good too. Depends on your specific situation in terms of what you want/need really.

  • Daniel Plainview on 11/05/2026 - 10:55

    Not specific to this deal BUT electric mower makers really need to clearly and consistantly communicate the rated kW power of the motors in their units. The majority do not have it at all, some hide it away in their manuals specs and a rare few will state it up front.

    There is nothing on either the Bunnings or Makita site in any of their documentation on the motor's rated power. I've checked the product manual etc. AI says it's 1450w, so take that with a grain of salt.

    You'd never buy a petrol mower if you have no idea of the engine power/capacity yet electric ones keep basic info such as this deliberately hidden from the consumer who's buying it.

    • Naigrabzo on 11/05/2026 - 11:01

      I really want to change over but the electric mowers seem to be piss weak. What I don't want is for the mower to slow down or bind becasue the grass is thick or wet etc.

      • 0
      • Daniel Plainview on 11/05/2026 - 11:31

        Many new users end up with the same issue - having engine power ratings CLEARLY stated would allow such problems to be forseen or better still avoided all together.

        That said a lot of cordless mower buyers really need to do better research as a simple look at the manual (generally available online) has the manufacturer's stating that grass that is long or overly thick needs to be done in multiple passes of decreasing cut height - which isn't something most users are prepared to do (understandably).

        I'd go for a mower that clearly tells you the power of their motor and err on the side of having a tad too much than a tad not enough.

      • Calvin27 on 11/05/2026 - 11:38

        Most are piss weak. I have this one and it's weak as. Stalls during spring when my grass is thickest all the time. When the battery gets to 50% forget it, it basically can't cut anymore.

          I reckon these must allow you to spend more time with your family because you are not cutting the lawn. Just get a contractor to do it. :)

          Similar to electric cars, you get to spend more time with your family or yourself, when lining up for charging during the long weekend.

    I bought the some lawnmower 6 months ago. Cuts well, but have had a few issues. I returned the first one as it constantly stalled for no reason. I raised the issue with Makita and they simply referred me to the manual (page 9 by memory). I was not impressed. I exchanged it at Bunnings, second one was much better. However it does occasionally randomly stall. Batteries are fully charged and my lawn is about 60m2.

        I complained about mine screeching when I released the handle (it was the motor brake). Bunnings raised it as a warranty job with Makita. Makita repaired the mower and returned it to me. It was not exchange warranty, but with the amount of metal and resources that go into manufacturing a mower, I was not expecting an exchange. It is not a throwaway commodity mower like a Ryobi or Ozito anyway.

      4amp vs 5amp, plastic deck vs steel deck, smaller catcher, Makita better built, you save $100
