Was $329. Not quite the lowest ever, but still 19% off. Was $248 briefly in February.
Showing free delivery for me in Canberra. May differ for others though.
Majority of stores showing stock, albeit only 1 in some stores. That usually means it's possibly display stock, so probably worth a phone call before trying to order.

It would be overkill in my opinion, you could easily do the job with an 18v/~300mm mower.
It also depends on if you already have any other Ozito PXC tools/batteries.
Disagree there, I feel 18v is underpowered. Even doing a small area after a bit of rain. I have the 36v Ozito and it's fine but even then I could do with a little more power. Sure you could do the job with an 18v but I would rather not be stop starting at all.
my Ryobi 18v keeps on stop-start stop-start, very disappointed. now checking this 36v out.
@katsuya: I had a 18v Victor which was the same so I upgraded to this and it's good but still can struggle on longer grass especially after the rain but so much better than an 18v.
@katsuya: Honestly the bigger Gray one is good but if U REALLY dislike mowing go but the $700 green works mower and whipper snipper pack from total tools…
Lol that kit is great, mower mowed 5-6foot chunky grass, whipper snipper is amazing for battery
@katsuya: 18V is useless for anything but the smallest or driest lawns. 36V is the minimum for a normal lawn.
Yeah, it'll be perfectly capable
I had the same question with about 30m of nature strip only. I was looking at the $229 1x18v 4ah brushless mower and thinking that would be enough. But then if I ever wanted to use that on a real lawn would I just be frustrated when it won’t cut thick buffalo or slightly damp longer grass?
Is this really worth $40 more? The 3ah batteries are disappointing but I’ve got a few 4ah to swap in. Does not being brushless make much difference?
The brushless is going to be more efficient but the 2x18v is probably going to be more powerful and effectively has 50% more energy storage.
I have the 2x18v like this deal and its perfect for doing nature strip, even when it was overgrown to about 20cm.
This one is not brushless right? Wondering when they gonna put the $400 on sales..
Yes, not brushless.
I'm surprised. Ozito is the Rolls Royce of lawn mowers.
Don't know why you got negged. I thought it was funny. An upvote from me :)
Not just lawn mowers, but also any power tools.
@edfoo: It's really crazy how much the PXC range revolutionised Ozito from the dodgy cheap stigma to a cherished go-to.
@liam2040: Yep. Consistent (decent) quality, fair prices and an unmatched warranty. Then just keep doing that for 10 years.
I can remember when everyone used to think Ryobi shat all over Ozito.
Aldi's Ferrex Pro brushless one is pretty good at only $250 for small to medium yards.
This Product Is Intended For DIY Use Only. See what it will be like after 1-2 years of use.
If it fails, take it back and get a free replacement! Probably a better unit if this is EOL!
Comes with a 5 year warranty
My 36v is still going strong after 3 years and has two more years of warranty. Have the blower and whipper-sninpper and no complaints for a small front and back yard.
Dad's one like this died (he bought second hand) my red (equivalent to the Gray one) is 3 years old, been worked hard nd still going good
Pay more for a better mower.
What would you recommend?
Username checks out.
@magic8ballgag: Haha, yeah it came from an email address from decades ago and have stuck with it, Am old now and it feels a bit silly these days and probably should change it, But for the record, my avatar is the engine in my car, so might stick with it for a bit longer til I sell it, lol.
If U got the money this is a great kit.

The snipper will replace your petrol one and comes with brush blade also
That could be good or bad advice.
It really depends what you need. I have this (or at least a very similar 36v ozito) and its been fine as i only need to do the nature strip out the front.
If i had massive yard to do something like an ego would be better. https://www.totaltools.com.au/149757-ego-56v-520mm-1-x-7-5ah…
Complete overkill for my front nature strip though.
If you can wait. Aldi's is $249 with 4Ah batteries.
When do they come around?
Top right search box.
For an extra $19, the Ozito is a better deal/kit any day of the week.
How so? Brushless vs brushed. 40v vs 36v
I cant see the spec on the aldi.
Brushless should be better. There is no difference between 36v and 40v, just different ways of reporting battery voltage. My fatmax drill/battery is sold as 18v, the identical tool is sold under another brand as "20v max".
@Duff5000: Stupid question, if I may, sorry. In layman’s terms what’s the diff between brushed and brushless?
@rishmeister: Brushless has no brush hence less size, less weigh, less ware, less heat from a quick Google. Shoul do the same job.
Ozito has a 5 year replacement warranty on all the PXC range and a 3 year replacement warranty on batteries and chargers. Warranty available year in year out.
Pretty sure Aldi has only a 3 year warranty. You can buy Ozito anytime you want, Aldi tools are only available a few times a year and good luck getting a replacement outside of those sales.
The 40v vs 36v is marketing w@nk. It started with Dewalt in the USA calling their batteries 20v. It really should not be allowed as it is misleading to those that don't know.
Typically, the lithium ion cells used in tool batteries output 4.0v straight off the charger, apply any load and they drop to 3.6v. And that is regardless of whether they are 18650, 20650 or 21700 cells.
Eg; A so called 40v and a 36v battery both have 10 x cells in series. This is 40v off the charger and 36v with load. A 20v and an 18v battery have 5 cells in series, paralleled with another 5 cells, giving 20v off the charger and 18v with load applied.
Further the so called 12v tools from Milwaukee and Makita,(which call them 12v Max) have 3 cells in series. giving 12v off the charger, but in reality are 10.8v once any load is applied.
There is more to it as in the ability of a cell type to output higher current, but regardless, the voltage is the same. Hope this helps a little to explain.
@revheadgl: Aldi has 5 year warranty too. Price used to be $229. Has been discounted in specific stores to $129.
The only negative is you can't get a replacement in store but full refund.
In reply to Duff500 question above.
That is so hard to explain without writing an essay, lol. I have posted a link below to short video that will explain the basics way better and quicker than I can.
The basics and a generalisation are, that typically brushless motors are around 10-15% more powerful than their brushed equivalents and generally have bit better runtime off the same sized battery.
Brushed motors are cheaper to make, have parts that will eventually wear out (mainly being the carbon brushes and the commutator they run on) but are very reliable. Brushless motors have complicated electronics that can fail, but potentially should last longer.
Not all tools need to be brushless in my opinion. If it does the job then it's good enough.
@revheadgl: Just to be clear that was rishmeister's question.
The better efficiency is the main advantage for a lawnmower. For a mower, the size and weight doesn't really matter, you are not carrying it anyway. The longer runtime with brushless is a plus.
Mainly the ability the walk into Bunnings at any moment and get a replacement if it fails under warranty, but also the Ozito PXC ecosystem is far better choice to invest into.
I got this or similar for $249 and 4Ah 377mm 1.5yr ago.
Just be mindful that there are no spare parts or after sales support. Only refunds, no exchanges and if it has a problem outside warranty you're on your own.
This is very small.
This is much better than Ryobi. It actually is German Einhell.
Never heard of it.
Einhell or Ozito? (maybe both?)
Ozito is the largest seller of DIY grade power tools in Australia.
Ozito is owned by Einhell.
Bought during recent Aldi price match at $248. Have medium sized lawn and gets the job done. Cheaper than hiring someone to do my lawns and bang my wife.
I like my Ryobi 36V, not sure how this one compares but I would not want anything less powerful.
My Ryobi gets my smallish back and front done but anything less powerful would be useless.
The Ryobi is better. No comparison. I ditched the equivalent Ozito and got the entry-level $499 Ryobi.
I'd hope so, it's $200 more than the Ryobi and $430 more than the Ozito!
Heck why not just let lose and get this 60v Toro for only $1,609? It's way better than your Greenworks.
Guys need to understand the concept of comparing apples with apples.
@stuckster: Lol :) I wasn't saying "you must get this" I was saying that's pretty much a good level for reasonable yard size. I did mum nd dad's over grown lawn with 6foot grass with the steel deck ozito 6-7 times.
PS I doubt the toro is over twice as good :)
Interestingly if you buy the Greenworks Mower & battery kit it's $549 with 4 year mower, 2yr battery warranty.
But if you buy the mower and the battery separately, you get a 7yr warranty on the mower and save $29
I'm pretty sure it's the same at the kit.
I returned mine after I was frustrated of the small mulch bag, frequently having to empty it out. Ruins my momentum. I got the 1 size higher (380mm) and it has a mulch plug and bigger bag, 4.0ah batteries and brushless. $400 price. But I'm very happy with the decision to upsize.
Easy. Just take off the catcher. You don't need it anyway as the cuttings decompose and fertilize the grass.
I tried with this model but it was accumulating on the mulch bag door.
Occy strap the catcher door half open to the handlebar. It's the Australian way.
Can return ?
Yeah I was able to as change of mind. It helped that I said I'll get a more expensive one.
I ensured it was clean so they could still resell it.
Still waiting for a skin only option for all of us existing Ozito owners. Don't need any more batteries or chargers but would appreciate $50-$100 off!
Just sell off the chargers and batteries on FB or Gumtree. I just sell the above type chargers for $10 each and they sell quickly. You should be able to get $30 ish each for the batteries. I know it's a pain to do, but it gets you a pretty nice deal in the end.
this will be a suffering for anyone with a big lawn. Tiny bag, not brushless.Better spend more and get brushless 36V+ system.
I have one - great mower and I wouldn't go with smaller one even for tiny block of land. I still recommend to get min 4A batteries
I'm waiting for an offer on the brushless model. How often does it usually go on sale?
I bought this mower yesterday. It's much smaller than my old 2 stroke, but it's much quieter and lighter. No messing around mixing fuel and hurting my shoulder trying to get the bastard started.
Mind you, I only have a 80m2 lawn.
How is this compared to the above?
My total lawn size is 200sqm.

Will this do if i were just to do nature strips (corner block) ?
