Makita EM3400U

Comfort mowing

The lawn mower from the Japanese manufacturer Makita has a bicycle handle with height adjustment and an intuitive control unit on the right handle. Such a tandem increases the control of the tool and helps even an inexperienced user to quickly adapt to mowing. Moderate weight (6.4 kg) and the presence of a shoulder strap in the package contribute to the comfortable operation of the Makita EM 3400U.

For tall grass and shrub removal

Powered by a two-stroke, single-cylinder engine, the Makita EM 3400U trimmer produces 1.6 horsepower (1150 W) and makes it easy to deal with tall lawn grass in small to medium areas. As a nozzle for such tasks, a reel with automatic line feed is optimally suited (the corresponding system works without jamming and unnecessary pauses).

Additionally, the model comes with a 4-bladed metal knife with a working width of 25 cm. It is needed to remove thick weeds, get rid of young bushes and quickly mow dense grassy thickets.

Fuel economy and rare refueling

The 34 cm³ engine is characterized by economical fuel consumption. Since the trimmer has a tank increased to 0.75 liters against the background of branded counterparts (for example, another popular model, the Makita EBH 341U, has 100 mL less), the spit will need refueling less often: approximately every 2 hours of operation.

Reliable "Japanese"

As befits Japanese proven technology, the trimmer is of high build quality, which is confirmed by users of the model. They highlight the engine start “with a half turn”, a reliable design without backlash and rattles, moderate vibrations in operation. In terms of noise level, the model corresponds to most gasoline scythes (it is felt by the operator at a level of 95 dB).

Makita EM 3400U is an interesting representative of the middle price segment, which is a worthy competitor to one of the market leaders — Husqvarna 128R.
