    I’m waiting for Bunnings to announce sale on Gerni 😂

    • I think you'll be waiting a long time! I just used my Gerni 5300 pressure washer for the first time today. Such a sweet machine!

  • Saw that on ryobi website too for same price till 3 Dec. I wonder if 18v is strong enough

      only if u have a small patch…i would not recommend this for the average house

        Landing strip v bush?

      • +1

        I've been doing an old style residential block for 2.5 years without issue albeit not with these exact models but rather the 36cm mower and brushless trimmer. Yeah more power would be nice but they do the job fine.

        • 36v was a beast when I tried it with a friend but costs heaps more and even the accessories are expensive

          • @Royale with cheese: Yeah I already had some of their 18v tools when I decided to make the switch so never considered the 36v models. Bunnings return policy is good enough that I'd decided if I wasn't happy with it I'd just return it but it's been fine. I had planned to buy the model that took dual 18v batteries to work at 36v but found it was discontinued and I couldn't get it. They have released a new brushless mower that takes dual 18v batteries but I believe it still works at 18v but with more runtime and a little more power. Apparently can be run with just one battery as well.

            • +8

              @apsilon: just an FYI, the dual 18V model you're referring to isn't discontinued, it's just not supplied year-round for some reason. It usually only gets stocked in the lead-up to summer (ie. now).

              Also, the dual 18V model doesn't run at 36V, since the batteries run in parallel (not in series as is the case with Makita/Ozito/etc). Using a 2nd battery only increases the runtime of the machine itself, rather than the power (which is also why that model can work even with only 1 battery inserted.)

              The only reason it's a bit more powerful is that it's a brushless motor compared to all the other 18V ryobi models which are brushed.

              • @Shekster: It was Bunnings that said it was discontinued and I've never again seen it on the Ryobi website or in store. Too late now anyway.

                • +3

                  @apsilon: Yeah unfortunately not everyone truly knows what they're talking about, you're always best off speaking directly to the people that actually work in that department (and even then I can't guarantee they will at the end of the day unfortunately).

                  I'm assuming when you asked them, they checked the stock status and saw it said Quit/Deleted and just assumed it was discontinued. In reality, what happens is that Ryobi just refresh the SKU every year or so, such that technically on the system each year there's a new dual 18v mower rocking up when in reality it's the exact same thing. This also means the barcode for the one which was sold in 2020 is technically finished hence why someone who doesn't properly understand how things work just immediately thinks oh it's discontinued.

                  Sorry that was the case for you, and that it ended up influencing your purchasing decision.

              • +2

                @Shekster: I have a dual 18v Ryobi OLM1840H from 2014 and it is in series 36v. That must be the one that is discontinued.
                https://www.ryobi.com.au/support/manuals/details/OLM1840H
                Still runs like a champ after all these years and 5ah just gets all my lawns done (about 40mins)

                • @Barganious: ahh if they're talking about the 1840H then yes I stand corrected. I've genuinely not seen that model in like 5+ years but now that I've been reminded of it I'll see if there's any plan in the near future of bringing anything like that back.

                  • @Shekster: It makes so much sense for someone with all the 18v tools, but I guess it would be cutting sales of the people who get forced into the 36v ecosystem.

                  • @Shekster: Any idea if the new(ish) OLM1840BL the new version of this? Or is it in series?

                    • +1

                      @elGusto: This high-performance mower has been engineered for use with 1 or 2 batteries. Running off 2 batteries can increase power output by up to 25% and extend run times for larger lawns up to 500m2

                      • @psy: Fwiw. I have one. Build seems better than the $349 one and it's brushless.

                    • +1

                      @elGusto: Runs in parallel, doesn't go to 36V

                      It's marketed as running at 25% more performance if you use 2 batteries, but in reality that's in an extremely rare case if you're using special ryobi HP batteries (not the usual ones majority of people will have)

                • @Barganious: Yeah I think that was the one. Took 2 18v batteries and then ran at 36v.

                • @rygle: Yes that's the non-36V model (ie. extra battery only improves runtime with an extremely marginal boost in performance in very specific ideal conditions)

      • +2

        Houses are getting tiny these days. I'm sure it's enough for the average subdivided house.

        • +2

          Yeah that should be OK.. just don't let the grass grow too .. much.. you'll have a hard time with the mower stalling cause 18v is not powerful

          • +3

            @hippyhippy: I've never stalled mine and have done thick grass taller than the mower. Yes it will slow down but the easiest solution is to pop a wheelie and push through blade first. Doesn't even slow down then.

            • @apsilon: Second this. Pop a wheelie, or even if it stalls restarting it's so easy to restart compared to a petrol mower.

              For most ordinary metro residential the Ryobi 18V mowers are fine. The two biggest complaints are:

              • Runtime - solution: get more batteries (for reference 4Ah is good for 20-25 minutes with my 33cm model).
              • Power - absolutely you shouldn't buy this if you're trying to mow unruly scrub. But it's totally fine for ordinary grass lawns.
              • @goosmurf: i was thinking this? holy ahhaha so funny!
                just bought because you said this

                Bunnings meet at Rydlemere anyone?

          • @hippyhippy: On Canberra grass, the Ryobi (this one and the old 36V one) both stall constantly if you want a close cut.
            I've also tried the DeWalt and it stalls just as much.
            I bought an e-go electric mower with 7.5Ah battery last week, and it cuts through it like butter. Very much the same as the petrol mower I had to borrow in between. They aren't cheap, but if you have non-kikuyu lawns, they are worth a look.

            • @Scrobo: The higher end ryobi is also good… the self propelled ones.

    • +1

      18V is fine for small house stuff. Anything bigger than a tiny backyard and nature strip, and these things are kind of trash.

      • Precisely my thoughts

        • I've tried a bunch of different machines, and to put it into perspective, a semi-decent Ryobi 18V trimmer is $250 by itself. They do the job great even on thicker grass.

          That's not to say this is a bad deal, it's just not going to be all that great for any serious work.

          • @cnut: Can you recommend a decent trimmer model, I don't want an underpowered unit. Around $250 would be fine

            • @Goremans: The Ryobi 18V 2mm model is great: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-brushless-line-tri…

              My mate has the expandable 18V one, but I find it's not quite as good, still way better than 1.6mm basic models they sell:

              https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-hp-33-38cm-4-0ah-line-…

              • @cnut: Cheers, I'll definitely lean towards the 2mm, thanks

                • @Goremans: @goremans They have the 2mm brushless +4ah battery kit currently on offer for $249 as well- be sure to get this rather than just the skin only (bought this yesterday)

                  • +1

                    @Balmaino: Be aware that's not the same as what @cnut was referring to.

                    The one you've linked is a different model (which yes is brushless and 2mm with a battery, but is an autofeed single-line spool, not a dual-line bumphead which is the better option). The kit for the better bumphead model which is also expand-it compatible is $329

                      • @gogobu: Better than the 18V for sure (both the blower and trimmer is miles ahead of what comes in the kit of this post itself). Also considering how expensive the 36V batteries are separately, getting a 4.0 + 2 tools for under 400 is quite good value.

                        I believe Bunnings are getting that kit soon, I will try follow that up when I get a chance.

              • @cnut: @cnut is this the pack with the battery?
                https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-hp-33-38cm-4-0ah-line-… seems to be cheaper by about $50

                • @Goremans: That's the one that is Expand-It capable. It's not a bad model, but I personally find this one to be a bit better, although you can't go wrong with the one you linked:

                  https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-brushless-line-tri…

                  You'd just need to get separate batteries for that one as it doesn't come as a kit. So not as good value in that sense, but I find it seems to cut a little bit better than the Expand-It model.

      • Yep, had this for almost 2 years. Works fine for the nature strip which is around 80~100sqm (corner block) as long as the grass is relatively dry and not overgrown.
        Bought it for its size, fits nicely inside a ketter outdoor storage box.

    • 18v*2 were good. these are smallish for small backyard and would struggle for long grass.

    • +1

      More about the battery size, I've found. My old petrol mower decided to disassemble itself right at the start of the pandemic, so in the face of a 10-12 week wait for repairs I did some maths and since I was in the Ryobi battery environment already, picked up a 33cm model for my 540 sqm block in metro Brisbane which has a fair bit of lawn. In hindsight I could probably have gone the 36 cm but it's made me ensure I mow at least once a week now, which as I describe below is fine

      I use two 5ah batteries for the job (uses about half the battery but the mower is certainly more powerful with the fresh battery in it). I have other Ryobi tools so those batteries get used for other garden work.

      For anything thinking about going electric, I've found the following benefits:
      - the mower's way quieter (sounds like a big fan) so a pair of earbuds is all you need for ear protection
      - the mower's way lighter so it's much physically easier to mow. Combine that with the lack of noise and it's way less tiring a job, especially if it's hot
      - you don't have to buy fuel, fill the mower and then start the mower so you're on way much more quickly. Also you don't have to store fuel around the place
      - if you're already in a manufacturer's battery environment (like Ryobi, Makita, Bosch etc) you'll get more use out of the batteries and chargers.

      The Ryobi also folds up really neatly so it's tucked away under my shelving in the laundy/rear storage room. From thinking about mowing to job done is around 40 minutes vs an hour for the old petrol, mostly saved around the fuelling process

    • 18v is more than enough for the blower and trimmer, I do a large yard with those.

      18v isn't enough power for the mower though if you have a large yard, I got the AdvancedRotak 36-750 for that.

  • +5

    I have the mower and the trimmer. Good tools and not as loud as their petrol equivalent.
    Although the mower struggles to put grass in the catcher if it's even slightly damp.
    It also struggles on long grass so you either need to pop a wheelie or mow it regularly to keep it low.

    Can get about 15-20~ mins of continuous usage of the mower on a single charge. The trimmer is very efficient and barely goes down a bar of charge after 10 mins.

    • +1

      More regular lawn maintenance will reduce that issue.

    • +3

      36v struggles also with damp grass. Been using it for 3ish years now and I'm ready to go back to petrol!

      • I'm thinking to buy 36V but now I have my doubt. How big is your lawn?

        • 900sq block with 4bd house and shed one side is pebbled to the shed. If I let the grass get long from rain events when I'm away for work it's not uncommon to go through a 5ah and 2x4ah batteries just in mowing. Brushless trimmer does entire yard on a single battery.
          Granted this is Sir Walter all mowers hate it

      • Heard lots of good things about Ego 56V lawn mower if you want yo continue the battery route

      • Try the e-go mower, it is just as strong as a good petrol mower, and does our enormous yard in one charge.

    • +1

      and not as loud as their petrol equivalent.

      Was hoping to get something with twin turbo, twin modified exhaust and a sub at the back

  • I need a wipper snipper this is timely.
    this is a crazy deal on the batteries alone

    won't last long!

    What's Ryobi's warranty coverage?

    • +1

      6 years with registration within 30days, 4 years without

      • +1

        That’s crazy good, even better than ozito I think.

        • Isn't Ozito 5 years now? Ryobi is just a bit better but generally cost a decent amount more.

  • Good price

  • +4

    how much is this normally?

  • +30

    For anyone on the fence with this, going to electric garden tools has been a real game changer.

    I struggle with starting tasks and often found that once I was finally wanting to do the gardens, I'd find no fuel for the mower, or it would be a pig to start due to stale fuel, or there would be no 2 stroke left in a certain ratio, etc. so the lawn and gardens got neglected and it was just depressing when pulling up in the driveway.. which only added to the problem of not wanting to start it.

    Around 6 months ago we switched to the ryobi garden tools (36v but that doesn't matter) and it's been incredible. I find myself now caring for the yard as a way to switch off for a bit and get outside (WFH, long hours) and the gardens have never looked better.. to the point I'm now in direct competition with a neighbour who previously did garden care for a living (he doesn't know it's a competition but whatever). Whatever brand you may be looking at it is absolutely worth doing the switch if you struggle to get started on these things.

    My only suggestion though would be to get a fast charger and a spare battery, nothing more frustrating that having it die half way through and then refuse to charge even at a snails pace due to heat in the cells. Most times I can get by on just the one battery, but it is nice not having to switch it from tool to tool. Just remember that lithium and heat do not mix well, let you batteries cool completely before charging them or they won't last too long.

    • +2

      36v but that doesn't matter

      Are you sure? I haven't used a 18V mower before but I believe it would matter.

      • +1

        For the purpose of my comment it wasn't really relavent. EOTD though 36v will provide more grunt and I believe it's slightly wider than the 18v so will cut back on time as well. We have a fairly large front yard (160m2 on one half, 80m2 the other) and a small backyard (50m2) and if you cut on a height setting of '3' (middle) then it'll do the front entirely on one charge (4ah) before switiching to another to do edging, around trees and the back yard.

    • +9

      he doesn't know it's a competition but whatever

      That's some Seinfeld-level comedy haha

  • Do I buy this or the Manscaped "Performance Package 4.0"?

    Thanks

    • +3

      depends what kind of bush you're dealing with

      • Yeah, I am thinking the 18V mightn't be up for the job.

    • Why not both?

  • +2

    Electric lawnmowers start first time every time. That is easily the biggest draw for me.

    • +2

      Also if you factor in the fuel, oil, spark plug etc costs they can be even cheaper in the long run.

      • +3

        Not to mention that your neighbours don't hate you for making a racket and stinking up the place.

        • +1

          Not to mention you don't rip your shoulder off starting them.

      • +1

        I use probably 10 to 15L of fuel a year in my petrol Mower and I've got what I would consider a "decent" yard for this day and age, probably mow an area of about 250-300 sqm.

        spark plug has never been changed and I've had it for 10 years and it was 2nd hand when I got it.

        Oil, I buy the 20-50w mineral oil that goes on special here every now and again for $9.99 for 4L, that's enough for about 6 years worth if you change it yearly (which I would consider very good, as I know plenty of people who never change mower oil…)

        So let's say $25 a year of ongoing costs between oil and fuel.

        Electricity is cheaper, but not free, so you are probably still paying say $5 a year + batteries degrade… We'll see who has the lower ongoing costs in 10 years from now hey 🤔

        • +1

          I'm in this camp. Running costs on a petrol mower are far from significant. I have a small/medium sized front and back yard, and my running costs annually are $10 for fuel and $10 for an oil change. Sparks and air filter changes are infrequent and probably offset battery degradation.
          When my 5yo Masport petrol mower carks it I will move to an electric, but for now the payback period on switching is too long.

          • @XabiFernando: haha this is very true. the arguement of petrol and electric will go on forever, but as people in the 90's grow up as adults, they are getting educated, and want to do their part for the world.

            Now my house has, rain water system, solar panels and going all electric for the garden. In hindsight its definitely not worth it when you compare to petrol.

            There are some amazing benefits, with some return, and thats enough for the switch.

            • +1

              @BaeSuzy: To be fair, I'm an electric proponent myself - I've had solar panels for about a year now and so far the return makes perfect financial sense. I just don't see it right now specifically for power garden tools

              • +1

                @XabiFernando: i agree, with you, and everything you said, i still will will convert to electric where i can.
                i have a smaller lawn in this place now, maybe thats a contributing factor. But tbh! i donated my Victor 82V lawn mower, that thing was a beast, expensive, but i didnt ever second guess it. I blame my part of saving the world if it counts.

                haha its weird, because i did the same calculations as u did!

                • +2

                  @BaeSuzy: I'm not against it at all either, my next mower, if this damn old Briggs and Stratton ever dies, will almost definitely be electric.

                  If that happened tomorrow I'd buy the 82v Victa too, it seems to tick all the boxes, 1.5kw motor (similar output to a petrol), metal body and a big solid catcher (not these fabric ones a lot are going to.

                  I just don't think people should be scrapping their 3 year old, perfectly functional mowers just to "go green" and get an electric one.

                  • @Binchicken22: that victa one is great, big lawn too, 1 battery.

                    I agree, dont scrap a mower just to convert!

      Unfortunately they have nothing to do with the Ryobi brand in Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryobi Ryobi Power Tools and Ryobi Outdoor Power Equipment are brands of Techtronic Industries, used under license from Ryobi Limited.

    The line trimmer in this pack is not very good. I wouldn't recommend. After constant frustration upgraded to the brushless 2mm two string model.

    • +1

      Can you go into further detail please?

      • If you have a tough grass like buffalo it's just not powerful enough. You have to stay in one spot while it tries to cut through any runners. The brushless model has 2mm string vs 1.6mm for the base model. You can trim with a slow walking pace and rarely need to pause or go back with a more powerful trimmer.

  • port Melbourne store has 12 left, tons at box hill store, no need to rush

  • +3

    The line trimmer is garbage, weak motor. It is now in the bin.

    • yes, buy the brushless one instead.

    • +1

      same! I asked for return, and they gave me a lecture on how it shouldn't be used to cut grass….hello? it's a trimmer? And not to mention the problematic returns process (see below). No issues with the brand or battery, but when you buy things in a bundle…definitely avoid.

  • +4

    Please be aware (and it is ridiculous) - that if any one item out of the bundle breaks, and you want to claim the warranty, you will need to return THE ENTIRE set back to Bunnings, ideally with box.

    The trimmer died for me and when i tried to go thru warranty that's what i was told by Ryobi customer support and Bunnings. Needless to say it's a stupid process, so i have a broken line trimmer out of the bundle.

    • +2

      Can't comment on having to return the bundle but you definitely don't need to return any packaging according to ACL.

    • There was some discussion about this earlier on this deal (search for “warranty”; it came up in a few different comments). Seems to depend on the store and staff member.

      • +1

        i tried twice, at 2 different places. They even sent me to a repair center that refused to look at it, as it wasn't worth looking at, they also sent me to return the bundle at bunnings.

        • Why don’t you return the bundle and just buy it again….

          • @Hirolol: Thinking of selling the trimmer and blower as I have them already. Knowing this, I guess this is a no deal then!
