Terrible product (DLM 432), atrocious customer service.
Have owned 10+ Makita products for the better part of a decade - as a layman renovator, not a professional - and was hence a loyal customer, never even considering competing brands or reading reviews any longer. However, a recently bought lawnmower (DLM 432) broke within a couple of weeks of purchase (the attachment between a front wheel and the body of the machine broke off clean, under no strain whatsoever). Googling the problem, I realized this is a common problem for their lawnmowers - as is the absolutely terrible, atrocious customer service (really - 100% lack thereof). As a loyal customer, I hope this problem is confined to the lawnmowers, not indicative of a broader, steep decline in quality. But the customer service is simply risible, and that seems applicable their product range, at least in Belgium. Please consider another brand, if they still have adequate customer service and quality of their services. Extremely disappointing.
