Bought one online today and still has stocks for Click and Collect.
Comes with two 2ah batteries and a dual charger, which is compatible with Worx and Toolpro so pretty good for the battery compatibility.
Haven't used yet so no idea on quality but for $138 after using discounted SCA vouchers, it seems ok. Couldn't get the Ozito from Bunnings as no stock near me but this is cheaper anyway.
Minimum 69
Half 138
They are selling individual 1.5ah batteries with charger for $90 (https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-battery-…). This deal comes with 2 X 2ah batteries and charger, which equates to $180. So the deal comes with free mower and $30 on your favor!
2ah is pretty small by today's standards esp for a mower from what I've heard in the comments on previous deals. Pretty sure most of the well known brands have 6ah batteries included.
That is 40mm longer than my ruler! Size matters!!!
As the lady says it in the youtube: If you need to BLOW it!!!
Only for large acerages with jealous neighbours!!
What is this? A battery for ants?
Amps not ants
Hmmm 2 x 2AH batteries don't seem like they would last, particularly with age. Only 12 months warranty. At least the $200 Ozito mower from Bunnings, it comes with 5 years warranty on the mower and 3 years on the battery and 1 x 4ah 18 volt battery. For an extra few $$$ I'd recommending getting the ozito. I have tried it myself and its not bad for small areas.
2x2Ah is equivalent to a single 4Ah battery (given they are both 18v), so I don't see how the Ozito has any advantage in that department.
I've also got the Ozito and it's fine for my small lawn, given this is a fair bit cheaper I'd give it a go if I was in the market.
It's the warranty. 5 years vs 12 months
Wow! Even if it's small, let us know how it cuts and esp if you have any tallish grass 20-30cm. $150 if a bargain if it can handle the average front yard and nature strip but I'd be worried it won't be able to cope as I found out the hard way buying an ozito line trimmer at the beginning of covid.
Thanks OP $150 is crazy cheap.
100% will struggle on even dense grass.
Why do I feel like it'll struggle on thin grass too lol
It probably will if you have it too low
What if the grass is uneven?
I have the Ozito 36v (2 x 18v) mower and it can't cut my dense nature strip.
I would guess that this one will be the same or even worse.
Electric lawn mowers have terrible torque. It will struggle on grass thats a bit long, thick, dense or damp.
Theyre only good if youre on top of mowing your lawn all the time and keep it short so theres not much to mow and the sun evaporates the dampness from the grass.
30cm is really long. :o
I've got a Victa 82v mower that is as good as my petrol mower was. Just a shame that Victa killed off their 82v series in favour of the 2x18v stuff.
I know, Victa seems to struggle to promote one system, they have 18V, 2x18V, 40V, 82V, they seem to kill most of them for some reason! shame..
@huntabargain: I think the mower companies are trying to find the pricepoint customers are willing to pay for electric over petrol. 82v = strong but expensive. 18v = weak but cheaper.
At <$200 im willing to buy an electric to use in conjunction with my 15yo victa gas guzzler until it dies but i dunno if i would pay $800 when my gas guzzler is working fine (even with the painful petrol prices we have right now)
For sure more voltage equates to more power but unfortunately the electric mower companies are pushing the electric mowers eco friendliness, low noise and lightweightness instead of its power, to undercut the price of petrol mowers. Which is the biggest challenge electric cars and mowers face.. we need a breakthrough in battery energy density or bring its price down severely.
@Lost-Sons of dallas: I think in many cases they aren’t undercutting the petrol mowers either. Except for these cheap brands. But there’s an 18v ryobi mower that’s skin only for $399 because it’s brushless. It’s still most likely weaker than petrol mowers.
I think the real economical way is to buy a used Victa or similar. It will last another 20 years easily rather than being landfill in 7
Works great for my few hundred square metres of grass and nature strip.
Doesn't look like there's any stock in Melbourne that I can find anyway.
RRP was only $169 makes me think this is really light duty mower.
SCA selling self-branded lawnmowers.
Weird.
These are basically a Worx rebrand
The hedge trimmer kit is $50 if you can find one.
I have this and it works fine for my small-to-average sized backyard. Battery lasts AGES and I've never run out before finishing the backyard. The mower is light enough to carry with one hand which is handy if you need to carry it up and down steps. Batteries confirmed to work across my Worx and Rockwell tools as well.
$70 for chainsaw kit
Wow. good deal. I bought one for $700+ which was already discounted but would have jumped on this if it was available then!
Haha your username suggests you definitely have a Honda mower not this piece of crap
Noob here, is this better than $199 Azito?
Link to the Azito please? Google search for Azito did not uncover any mower.
Think he means Ozito
Thanks for the correction!
@GeneralKeen: In answer to your question though, I'd rkn this and the Ozito 36cm are on par with each other (though, not sure how long the 2Ahs on this would last) and get which ever suits your needs or the brand ecosystem you've already invested in. Personally, id get a Ryobi One+ Lawnmower, but thats only because I'm already deep into the ryobi One+ rabbit hole.
I vote for the B zito!
Thanks OP. Managed to bag one. The price is cheap but hope it's useable. Only time will tell.
It looks plastic everywhere, explain total weight being 11kg inc batteries!
One review (Mower works great but fully charged batteries only lasted about 10 minutes)
I used a similar mower this morning, on a full charge managed to cut 12m x 3m council nature strip and 4m x 5m grass courtyard before batteries died. About 10 minutes sounds right.
Thanks OP. I got one. Will provide feedback. I also have the wired bosch mower from Amazon.
Why did you buy it if you already have electric wired mower, Not practical to drag cable while cutting the lawn?
Yeah it a tedious pain to use the wired mower overall. Had to be mindful to not run over the wire at all times. Plus dragging the extension cord / bosch red wire around. correcting the wire if there is a tangle each time. Replug again and again if disconnected from the extension cord while in the middle of mowing so I have walk.bavkward. Though it cut well and pretty light to push around.
It was a stop gap mower until I can afford a battery one like this one. Already have 3 worx battery so let see how this one go.
These were further discounted today with the Easter sales and I ended up picking up the entire SCA 18V range (2x18V mower for $119.20, 18V Chainsaw for $56, 18V Hedge Trimmer for $40, 18V Blower for $47 - including 5x 2Ah batteries, 3 slow chargers and 1 dual-slot fast charger in total).
I was originally going to wait for the 2x18V Ozito Steel Deck to come back in stock (promotional item) which has a larger cutting diameter closer to our 4 stroke Victa but the OzB favourite self-propelled Steel Deck is unnecessarily heavy (31.3kg) considering our property is on a slope and this price was too good to pass up.
My thoughts on the lawn mower
It's not quite identical, but it really does seem like a budget Worx WG779 (minus the Turbo/Eco toggle, rear axle height adjustment instead of front on the Worx). Plastic fantastic, but gets the job done, just don't store it in direct sunlight. The light weight is an advantage for a push mower, and the handles are padded with foam where you grip them so its comfortable to use.
It has a 36V motor that runs 2x 18V batteries in parallel, the plus side is that 36V is about as much cordless cutting power as you can get without ponying up $800 for an EGO Power 56V mower. I used it to cut grass up to 30-40cm in height today, in dense sections the cut grass buildup jams the blades every 5-10m but that's not a big deal (just tilt up the light as mower) and the same conditions will stall a 4-stroke Victa that is much harder to restart than a push of a button with this one.
The down side is that running batteries in parallel produces lacklustre battery life with a 2Ah capacity at 36V. I need 6x 2Ah batteries to mow my lawns without recharging (it comes with 2), and I don't have a particularly large backyard. With 2x 2Ah batteries and a 30L catcher, the batteries run flat around the same time the catcher fills up in my use case. The batteries overheat after running from 100>near flat and need time to cool down before they can be charged again.
SCA 18V batteries are interchangeable with Toolpro 18V, Worx 20V and Rockwell LithiumTech batteries so I'm not particularly worried about buying into the SCA 18V lineup when it was on clearance (presumably discontinued). You could fit 2x 6Ah Worx batteries in this mower if you were after more battery life, and these SCA 18V batteries can be used with Toolpro, Worx, Rockwell skins which has more variety than what Ozito PXC offers.
no thanks…
