DOVAMAN 13 Amp 16 in Mower, LA16M review

The lowest cut on this shelf at 0.98 inch and the biggest bag for its size at 13.2 gallons, from a lesser-known brand with limited stock.

Good numbers

For about $140 DOVAMAN offers a 13-amp motor, a 13.2-gallon bag with a fill indicator and a tool-free folding handle. Its 0.98-inch minimum is the lowest here.

Less of a record

The 4.4 rating comes from only 173 buyers, and the seller, MilkyWay Galaxy, had 5 units left. Support and spare parts are harder to judge than with Black+Decker or CRAFTSMAN.

Corded safety

Unplug the cord before you touch the blade, the chute or the height lever, and use an outdoor-rated extension cord with a GFCI-protected outlet, as the manual directs.

What this machine usually gets asked

Is 98% collection real?

It is DOVAMAN’s figure, with no method published. Read it as a claim.

How does it compare with the LawnMaster 16 inch?

It has one amp more, a bigger bag and a lower cut, but only 173 ratings and a seller with thin stock.

Our score

8.0/ 10

Promising on paper. Its short history is the main reason to prefer the LawnMaster.

This one and its buyer, among lawn equipment

A short-cut lawn and a buyer who wants the bag rather than mulching.
