DOVAMAN LA36A review

A 1500 W input at a stated 3 400 rpm, a 40-litre box with a mechanical indicator, and a mulching option on a corded machine.

The bottom line The only mower on this shelf that states a blade speed — up to 3 400 rpm — which is the figure that actually decides whether grass is cut or torn. Adds a metal blade, a 40-litre box, six heights and a mulching option. The 95 per cent collection rate is a manufacturer’s claim with no method behind it.

What the maker prints on its own page

A corded mower with a 1500 W motor and a metal blade, at up to 3 400 rpm, described as giving strong cutting performance on garden lawn and dense vegetation. The cutting width is 36 cm with six adjustable heights. The 40-litre box has a mechanical level indicator and the maker states a collection rate of up to 95 per cent. The deck offers 2-in-1 operation, mulching or collecting. The handle folds and adjusts to three heights.

The rpm figure

3 400 rpm is the only blade speed stated anywhere in this family, and it is worth more than the watts beside it.

A mower’s blade does two jobs: it cuts, which takes little, and it moves air, which takes a great deal. The lift that stands grass up before the edge arrives scales with tip speed, and a blade that has slowed in thick grass tears rather than slices — which is what a lawn that whitens two days after cutting is telling you.

A stated speed does not guarantee the machine holds it under load. It is still more information than a wattage.

The 95 per cent

A claim, and this page treats it as one. There is no defined test for a collection rate, no stated grass condition and no named method. On a real lawn the figure is decided by how packed the deck is, how wet the clippings are and how full the box has become.

What this listing withholds

The height range — six steps, but from what to what. The weight, on a machine described as light. The cable length. And no noise figure.

Availability

From 70 € to 90 €, that being the spread across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores on the day of the survey.

Listed and unsold: the American Amazon catalogue holds the reference with nobody behind it.

Nothing came back from the British Amazon store at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

The declared figures, and the point they stop at

Strengths

  • A stated blade speed, which nothing else on this shelf gives
  • A 40-litre box, the second largest here
  • A mulching option on a corded machine, where most of the shelf only collects

Compromises

  • The 95 per cent collection rate is a claim with no method behind it
  • Six height steps but no range, so what it can actually cut at is unknown
  • No weight, no cable length, no noise figure

What this machine usually gets asked

Why does blade speed matter?

Because even a sharp blade tears if it is not moving fast enough when it arrives. Tip speed is what makes the airflow that stands grass up before the edge reaches it, and it is the thing a bogging machine loses first. Almost no listing publishes it.

Is a 95 per cent collection rate meaningful?

Not as a measurement. No standard defines how a collection rate is determined, no conditions are stated, and no test is named. This page prints it as the maker’s claim rather than as a figure.

Does a mulching option make it a mulching mower?

It closes the discharge so clippings recirculate. Whether they are cut small enough to disappear into the sward depends on the deck shape and the blade profile. The word has no definition behind it and has its own page here.

Who this one is for

A medium lawn where the clippings should sometimes stay on it
