RRP: $799.00
Not Self Propelled
I'm upgrading from a $150 mower from Big W which has served me for 7 years.
It hasn't stopped (yet) but it's starting to show signs of ageing.
Deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/72183
This Rover has some mixed reviews but I'm just going to assume some people:
* Bought them at or near RRP
* Don't know how to clean the air filter
* Don't know how to keep the battery topped up.
Some ozbargainers were happy with theirs found in this thread: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/139273
Delivery was FREE for me (Sydney metro) but not sure if the delivery deal is Australia wide.
Note: Very hard/Impossible to find an electronic user manual for this mower.
Some close relatives to this mower which do have PDF user manuals are:

Not saying it's either a good or bad deal but just be aware Rover isn't anything like the brand they used to be - were bought by USA co, MTD a while back and word is the quality of a lot of their stuff significantly dropped - again this is kinda similar to other brands like Victa so DYOR but as always with mowers preventative maintenance is (IMHO) more important than buying 'quality'.
