    I have the 3in1. Very happy and haven't had an issue.

    Do you really need the mulcher?

    Best lawn mower are ones that don't have a catcher. They blend the grass back jnto the lawn. Such a time saver

    • how can we identify the blending feature ?

  • Buy a Honda , first time every time start 😆 btw these days electric is the way to go.

    • +1 bought 1 3 years ago and no issues at all. Just an annual oil change even though I only done 50-75 hours a year at most.

      There's the American version and the Australia, the latter is a bit more robust but heavier.

      • Years back I had a Honda (Canadian build ) with Vitca body, no issues what so ever.

  • Do Masports still come with a lifetime replacement warranty on the catcher?
    For best value for $ hard to beat Masport.

  • Masport make great mowers.

    Mine is great and I use the mulcher for most of the year.

  • Why does it have to be petrol? I have a Ryobi 36v battery lawnmower I purchased from Bunnings and it is amazing. No more stuffing around with fuel and a full charge easily does my large yard.

    • My opinion…

      because battery tech/compatibility issues in the future might mean finding a replacement difficult.

      Batteries have an unknown shelf life and cost quite a bit to replace ($299 each for the 5.0ah battery).

      Fuel isn't too bad, typically has a year shelf life and easily accessible.

      Depending on how often you use your mower, we could debate which one is more environmentally friendly (rare metals vs petrol/oil/emissions).

      The Ryobi battery pack has a 1.8 star rating (out of 5) on their own website.
