  • Upgraded from a plastic deck Ozito a few months ago. SD is far superior imho. Only advantage of the PD was that its incredibly light. Good if you want to chuck it in your car to take to someone elses house. Or want to hang it up in your shed or similar.

    • +20

      The 'only' advantage of a plastic deck that you mention above, being lightweight, is a major selling point. If the mower doesn't weigh as much, it's also easier to push around your lawn.

      I have nerve damage in my left leg and having a lightweight mower makes the difference between being able to mow my own lawn and not. It also means my 12yo son can do it!

      I admit I was reluctant to get rid of my old petrol mower, and really didn't want to get a plastic mower. However since doing so, I have no regrets.

      • +3

        Yep, as long as you keep on top of your lawn, the plastic deck machines are great because they are so light and easy.
        But if it has been a while the PD ones struggle

        • Id say another benefit of a plastic deck is that it wont rust out like my Victa mower did…

          • +1

            @mgf909: Strange. Mines 10 years old and looks brand new.

        • Ego + 56v.

          Doesn't like wet grass, but powers through shin high grass with an aplomb I could never get out of my heavy old metal decked petrol mower. Once you go self-propelled polycarbinate deck, you never go back…

      • +2

        Yeah I have tendonitis and RSI, so have to avoid heavy lifting. I have to lift my mower for half my lawn that is on a raised level. The lawn is also on a steep gradient, so have to push/pull the mower while mowing. So having a lightweight plastic electric mower is great. Does the job well enough for my lawn.

        • +4

          Agreed. Got a polycarbinate deck for the old man since he had similar complaints and also had a modest grade to contend with. Despite being a sceptic (of battery and plastic deck), like most who go with the never-rust polycarbinate deck, the weight and maintenance saving from being able to put it away without removing any residual wet grass for fear of rust, is a game-changer.

          This way, I can keep him working for another decade. "Don't let the old man in…"

      • +1

        You seem to be basically reiterating what I said. I referred to the weight of the plastic deck as being an "advantage" so of course that would be a selling point! And I went to battery operated for similar reasons to you. Dealing with serious chronic neck/back pain for 25+ years.

        Can I ask if you've tried the steel deck? Because here's the thing. In spite of it weighing a bit more than the plastic deck, I find it much easier "to push around" - especially if I let my grass get a little longer and especially where my lawn is not dead flat. It is much more adjustable height wise than the plastic deck and easier to adjust. The design of the wheels seems to give it better ground clearance and a smoother "ride" from the get-go imho. I find it doesn't cut out anywhere near as easily as the plastic deck which makes for a much more enjoyable user experience. The bigger catcher and better design is also way less stuffing around than with the PD even though a full load would weigh a little more. The ergonomics of the handle are also better in my experience.

        To clarify, I'm comparing it to the smaller version of the 2x36v plastic deck. With the 30 litre catcher not the 45. My PD is also a couple years old, so slightly different design to current one by the looks. I also fully get that ergonomics and useage are different for everyone. However, if I went back in time and had the choice, I would happily pay the extra $80 and choose the steel deck all day every day over the plastic deck. I find the extra 5kg makes less than zero difference, except when I try to lift the thing OFF the ground. The PD won hands down in that regard. Again, all just my opinion/experience though of course. :) If I had to push it up hill a lot, I might feel differently, but luckily my lawn is mostly flat except for a few bumps and dips here and there.

    • lightweight plastic mowers are great. they may seem like toys compared to a normal steel deck mower but i can easily lift the thing up with one hand and they fold up to a tiny footprint

      if you've got a feral lawn with lots of sticks and stones then a petrol mower might be better

  • Is this the special edition/release one that people on here rave about?

    • +3

      No, this one is smaller and only takes two batteries. I have the special edition. It takes 4 batteries which is what you need if you want to mow a reasonable size front and back lawn without recharging.

      • What's the special edition model #?

  • +1

    The catcher isn’t huge is maybe my only gripe. I’ve since hacked it with a stick that keeps the door open and I just wear long pants to allow the mower to mulch rather than having to dump the catcher every 2 seconds.

        • Just curious, won’t it mulch with the door closed and no catcher attached?

          Have you possibly created a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist?

          • @WhyAmICommenting: Yes, i was thinking that hack doesn’t actually mulch the clippings, just tosses lawn clippings out the back.

            This hack would require breaking out the antihistamines

            • @entropysbane: What’s the difference between mulching and tossing clippings out?

              • +3

                @Whodis: Mulch is a lot smaller than clippings. A mulching mower has several goes at the clippings. That way the mulch falls down through the lawn structure rather than sit on top like clippings do, requiring them to be raked up.

                • @entropysbane: I see. Well yeah it does throw clippings, but doesn’t seem to be a massive problem with it and I don’t rake them up either.

          • +2

            @WhyAmICommenting: I found it tends to just overload the blades if the door isn’t open? Maybe it’s just me.

            • +1

              @Whodis: Doubt it's just you - I had the same issue on a 36v Ryobi. The extra effort to blow the grass all the way through the chute and into the catcher made it so much less powerful for cutting. Never a problem when set to mulch mode…

          • +1

            @WhyAmICommenting: I had an ozito corded electric and I mowed with the door closed and it just clogged up and killed the motor. Got 1/4 of my lawn done first time use before it carked it.

            • @Bdawg: Yikes, I can get away with it on my 4-stroke petrol but that’s a different story. I get it now, thanks.

            • @Bdawg: Works fine with my ozito mower (the 2500 watt one). Might depend on your grass type.

    • +3

      Anything Ozito PXC is compatible.

    • +4

      All Ozito PXC 18v batteries are compatible with 18v and 36v skins.

      Recently I've purchased Ozito cordless:
      1. 36v - 2 x 18v Steel deck lawnmower
      2. 36v - 2 x 18v Cordless Pole 4-in-1 Multi-tool set (Pruner, Hedge Clipper, Lawn Trimmer, Brush Cutter)
      3. 36v - 2 x 18v Chainsaw Kit
      4. 36v - 2 x 18v Hedge Trimmer Kit
      5. 18v High Pressure Air Inflator

      I must say I'm impressed with ALL, plenty of torque, great warranties

      Cheerz ;^)

  • +1

    Can anyone comment on this vs the self-propelled version?

    • +1

      Yes, this one is not self-propelled.

      But seriously, my older self propelled steel deck has less height options, but a 75lt catcher with mulcher accessories. Only thing I don't like is the lowest height is 30mm - however I have a 3d printed adaptor on the way to lower the height.
      Very happy with the mower, Mrs enjoys using it due to the push to start

    • +1

      Not specifically on this model, but beware that 36v self-propelled mowers tend to set minimum cutting defaults a little higher to compensate for the power loss that ensues from cutting grass lower.

      The original 2x18v Ozito's and 36v Ryobi's had this trade off for self-propulsion, and led me to ultimately upgrade to Ego 56v gear instead. The addiitonal torque and capacity meant the lowest settings were much lower on the Ego range, so I didn't have to mow more often as a result. And as mentioned above, self-propulsion is a game changer. Not just for the ease of use, but for any usage on grade and the biggest unexpected benefit of all - the capacity to get better mileage out of corners and turning circles since you can keep the motor engaged without the need to stand directly behind the mower. It results in much more efficient yard coverage.

      • -1

        Not specifically on this model, but beware that 36v self-propelled mowers tend to set minimum cutting defaults a little higher to compensate for the power loss that ensues from cutting grass lower.

        There's no difference in cutting heights between this and the self propelled version.

    • Self propelled much heavier… but self propelled. Won't cut as low. Not much else. Both terrific value mowers. I have this one, family member has the self propelled. I personally like this one better as its relatively light still and i have a bad track record of self propelled crap breaking so just avoid it now.

      • The most recent self propelled ones are 23kg which isn't that much heavier than the non-self propelled ones.

        The old ones SPs were closer to 30kg if I remember correctly.

        • Oh wow! Yeah that is a big reduction. Haven't seen them in person yet only the heavy model from last year.

  • I have the previous version steel deck that came with the 3 amp batteries.

    Much lighter than my old Victa naturally and cuts my spongy buffalo about 80% as well as the Victa. The extra weight of the Victa helped push the mower down onto the grass to give a closer cut. If I lower the height of the Ozito it bogs.

    However the lighter weight of the Ozito makes it much easier to mow for my buggered back. I can get 2 mows out of the batteries with enough juice left to power the blower for one clean-up. Charging takes 1 hour.

    The fabric catcher is a pain in the butt as when you remove it you have to angle it off the hooks and it dumps a clump of grass on the ground. Also the plastic knobs used to tighten the handle are flimsy. One of mine broke and they do come loose sometimes while mowing.

    Overall pretty happy, I would give it a 7/10.

      This one is a seasonal/promotional item. The one in your post is a new regular stocked item.

      Spec wise almost identical

      • Thanks for that, they did look almost identical and was wondering what the difference was. Cheers!

    • Going by the fact it has zero reviews, I'm assuming it's a new version that has just come out.

      The mower in this deal I was on the hunt for a few weeks back, Bunnings listed it as $399 but had no stock I could find anywhere. So presumably they're just clearing it out. That one you linked to shows up in my local store, so I'm going to go take a look at it, seem if it's an improved design.

      • Let us know if you think it is better/improved. The specs seem identical but they do look different

      • I'm invested in you freefall …keep us updated

      • +1

        I just bought that one yesterday. 1st impressions are very positive.

        I was also considering the $549 46cm 36v ryobi but I am already in the ozito ecosystem.

        I believe it is pretty much the same as the $399 one, however the specs put the red deck mower as weighing ~800g less.

        • It takes 4 batteries but still uses 2 at a time using a key. That's the only difference I could find online. Still cannot fold and make it stand vertically which was a major drawback of this 399 mower.

  • anyone got reco's for a reasonable price self propelled option? been using an old ryobi petrol mower for years but with everyone these days saying battery this and self propelled that im beginning to think I'm missing out…

    • Try seeing if there's any more stock of this:

      $1249, so it's a fair bit more than Ozito, but it's a balltearer. Wish I'd discovered it before I went through the wasted expense of non-propelled 36v Ozito and propelled 36v Ryobi.

      For the money, you get a 52cm self-propelled 56v mower, 7.5Ah battery plus a free leaf blower included and an extra 2.5Ah battery, hedge or line trimmer by redemption, since they've running two promos concurrently. They also have a 47cm deck option for $200 less, but the motor is not as powerful and the redemption offers are worth a little less.

          Half your luck - they're very powerful and very resellable.

          I've got the original 480cfm model, but the 530cfm model is much better, mainly due to being lighter, more powerful and less laggy when you hit the trigger than the original.

      • +1

        Keep reading that battery breaks soon on ego.

        • I am worried about that too. My battery for the ego blower still ok though

  • If you were to buy the top-of-the-range ozito mower, which model is it?>

    • There's different considerations.

      Main things to compare:
      Brushless is better than a non brushed
      36v is better than 18v
      Steel deck is built stronger but is also much heavier

      I have the PXSPSDMK-4182
      36v, brushless, 75lt catcher, mulching adaptor, 470mm cutting width and self propelled

      But cutting height is 30mm-65mm (6 positions) and it weighs 40kg (which self propelled helps with)

    • I have the one posted here (about 3 yrs now), and have tried the PXSPSDMK-4182. Different machines, both very good. Mine does not mulch (friends who have it say the mulching in the 4182 works well), only takes 2 batteries (4182 takes 2x2, so cuts over to other set when needed), steel deck not as 'solid', and wheels feel flimsier. However, mine cuts 5mm lower (makes a huge difference), is 10kg lighter so does not need to be propelled/easy to push without being so light you need to press down as you mow (PD ones too light), and mows 120m2 of couch with power to spare (4Ah batteries).
      Big Issue with mine: the handles fold so high up, cannot fit into a Camry boot - the 4182 is larger but handles fold better and can be stored upright - mine is stored horizontal)
      So, depends which one of these suits your needs.

  • +2

    Still waiting for my 2016 petrol Masport to break down. I am keen to get one of these but can't justify the capital cost yet.

    • Same here, my Masport is 11 years old.

      • If it's one of the non-china made ones (made in NZ I believe), it will likely keep going for a long time if maintained well.

  • Are these better than petrol types? I have a Victa easy start that has lasted so far over 10 years. With normal maintenance still going strong. Curious to know from ozbargainers why these are so popular.

    • +1

      any grass over 30cm or wet grass and this thing conks out after some resistance if you go too fast… a real pain sometimes when you just want to smash through it.

      • Thank you.
        I don’t mind doing the maintenance: spark plug, oil and air filter change on the Victa. Also replacing the blades when they need to. Can you do that as well with the electrical ones?

        • Minimal maintenance with electric ones, just clean deck and replace blade once worn out. Just pop batteries in and go

          • @nagel: Are blades same as petrol ones?

        • I haven't tried to change the spark plug, oil and air filters on my 2019 model of this (/s), but I've changed the blade twice since I've had it (4 years) because I felt it was getting a bit blunt. New blade is about $40 from Bunnings via special orders desk and it's a 5 minute job.

          • @seedosrun: I changed it twice in 10 years. I’m not sure how much it was. Seems Bunnings takes things out from shelf and puts into special orders every now and then then puts them back on shelves. When I bought mine they were available. I buy the service kit. Easy maintenance, then the mower runs really well. Kit comes with some type of fuel cleaner too.

        • This won't. Plenty of video showing that.

    • +2

      I think it depends on how you feel about the maintenance. I generally don't mind it but my petrol mower was on the way out with a bunch of little problems (and a couple of bigger ones) that were extremely annoying. It was like an old car, I could get it going because I knew the tricks. This electric one has been very freeing. There's almost no maintenance to be done. No trips to the servo when I've forgotten to get petrol. Quieter (still wear ear protection for comfort).

      It also depends on your lawn size. I can mow all the lawn and trim with the electric trimmer on a single charge. I think it'd be annoying to pause to recharge, and you'd have to factor in the cost of extra batteries if you didn't want the wait. There's no mulch plug on this version and the catcher is pretty small.

      It's lighter than my old victa and we've got raised lawn areas at the back so it's easier to lift.

      All in all I'm very happy with it, but that's because it's perfect for my situation and my old mower was dying/annoying

      • Thanks that’s very helpful. When this one goes I may consider one. I have electric everything else, trimmers etc. have two 5.0 batteries for the blower.
        The one think holding me back is the size of the frontyard and backyard plus corner council strips.

      • So it is more the convenience of less maintenance? My dad argues that petrol mowers are more powerful and that electric ones won't finish the job on one charge and will struggle with long grass. Is he right? We have a relatively large backyard.

        • +2

          Depends how long "long" is but it could be a problem. I don't mow all that often but it has gotten bogged a couple of times. Restarting it very easy though. The first time I used it I hadn't mowed for two months so I raised it to max height and did it over a couple of weekends, lowering it the second time. Measuring it on google earth we've got about 150sqm of grass on a 600sqm block. Might be worth seeing if someone you know has one and borrowing it, they're getting more common these days

  • Would love this upgrade from the 18v … the height adjustment is a must

  • -1

    Any stock in VIC? I've checked 20 stores all have none

  • +2

    I've used this one for a year or so. It works great on a standard lawn, but the blade can get bogged down and stall in too deep grass. It's a bit annoying if you've left the lawn go for a while.
    The catcher is pretty crap and the mower can't mulch.
    Also the blade is a standard solid bar (not a swing back) so don't hit anything or you'll regret it.

    Personally I think $400 is probably about what it's worth. Wouldn't pay any more.

    • TBH You can get a petrol one without those problems are similar price.

      https://www.bunnings.com.au/masport-420-3-n1-petrol-lawn-mow…

      If you only use it every 1-2 weekly then slightly increased maintenance of the petrol won't matter and it will last 10 years easy. given that BAtteries need to be replaced during that time, you might even break even but never get bogged or lose power etc.

      • I agree in principle. It's not easy finding a reasonably priced electric mower with mulching capability and a swing back blade.

        But the petrol mower servicing is not 'slightly increased'. I had one for years and after replacing oil, cleaning air filter, cleaning carb and replacing a failed recoil starter it was reliable. It's a lot more maintenance than an electric mower which just needs a blade sharpen and maybe a battery replacement.
