i literally have to empty it 2-3 times to finish my 4x10m lawn
I took one look at the catcher and decided to skip it.
How do we know this is this correct price across all stores? I would say this is Cannington store specific. It's already been noted that SA has been cheaper and NSW not even matching this level. In fact nryby shows the price is $219.
Yeah still shows $219 in the powerpass app when I search it as well
FYI - wont stripe up lawn very well, roller has no weight to it.
I used mine twice, bent reel and retrned. Purchased Scott Bonnar.. haha.
Would suit very small areas maybe - under 100m2
Potential mods include steel roller, weight on top and carpet on underside of catcher to enhance stripes.
There's an entire Facebook group dedicated to this mower.
I bought one and joined the group because of the hype.IMO it's overrated. I bought one used and the cutter bar was warped and didn't line up with the cutting blades well.
You need to try and adjust it then backlap it with grinding paste.For $99 is cheap enough to see what the hype is about, but expect to do some work on it to maintain it
I didn't have much luck so got rid of it.
I found a regular rotary mower easier for buffalo grass
I got a 2nd hand one first and didn't have any of these issues you should have returned your faulty one
Yeh most buff is going to be too long for any type of cylinder mower to be fair.
If you want stripes grab a hybrid rotary roller mower. They are a little more than $99 though lol
Would you say it's best to use a rotary to chop the bulk of the grass, then run a cylinder mower like this to just snip the tops and make it look tidy?
@montorola: You may need to with an initial mow, or with a mow after a longer period of growth if things have gotten out of hand.
But ideally, with either a cylinder/reel or a rotary, you don't want to be cutting more than about 1/3 of the length of your grass when you mow.
I have heard that these 18v Mowers (Specifically the Ozito 18v, but likely applies to all 18v mowers) are a little weak.
Might be alright if you look after your lawn and keep on-top of it, but if you don't feel like mowing every week to ensure the grass doesn't grow too long then you may need something a little more powerful.For context, I have a 36v Ryobi Lawn Mower (RLM36X46BL) and it struggles to cut damp grass, I have to wait like 3+ days after a rainy day (eg. Today in Melbourne) for the grass to dry up enough so it will cut the grass without struggling, and one would perceive Ryobi > Ozito and 36v 4ah > 18v 4ah so yeah….
Totally different use case.
Cylinder mower ≠ rotary mower
My last mower had a 1.3L twin rotor, sounded nice but just burned oil like there was no tomorrow.
This is a cylinder mower, you don't use it on long grass… You use it on your golf course
Don’t have a golf course, guess I need to give it a miss 😁
I own the Ozito cylinder mower, and it's been fine on my Buffalo after not being mowed for ten weeks and after my sprinklers have run the same morning.
Did it stall a couple of times in the damp, wet stuff? Yes, but it still got through it.
Dont write these off, they do a great job, especially for the coin. There are plenty of Ozito owners on the Aus Lawn Fanatics page who rate them.
Yeah heard the same, mate has Dewalt 36v and says a clover can basically stop it. I forked out for Ego instead and it hasn't missed a beat in the last 2 years.
most mowers struggle on damp grass, cut in the arvo or early evening
As someone who knows jack about mowing, what's so special about this mower ?
Also wondering what it is
It's a cheap, electric cylinder mower that can give a sharp clean cut. It can also mow quite low (down to 14mm).
Cylinder mowers are favoured over traditional styles by lawn enthusiasts due to the very clean cut (they work like rotary scissors) and are capable of cutting the grass quite short without scalping it. Cylinder mowers are traditionally fairly expensive as they're more mechanically complex, and sold in much lower volume.
Ozito makes an electric model that is very appealing due to its very low price, but it's even cheaper with this discount, especially considering that the deal includes a battery that's worth 30-40% of the total price.
I've got one, I just liked that it was small, cordless and electric. I still need to bust out the regular mower for dandelions and other tall shit that grows in the lawn. This mower doesn't cut dandelion flowers well, or really at all.
Paid 170 at bennetts green nsw today they wouldn't match other stores happy to have a spare tho at that price
I got one last week from there for $170 by asking them to price match the $120 others were reporting at the time. They said that $170 was the best they could do and stores that only had one or two might be inclined to sell them cheaper to clear them out.
This shows price and stock at each store that has them, just click on the three dots next to the store name and select store price.
The price is not correct on this website. The photo above shows $99 ar Cannington, but the website shows $219.
That’s pretty odd, I’ve found the website accurate at my local, I have certain tools on a watch list and when they drop on there they are the same in store.
I guess it shows nothing is infallible, might be interesting to see if the site shows $99 tomorrow.
are these any good for back hair?
asking for my mother.
You do realise how much a petrol cylinder mower costs?
Lol @ slightly
Any reason besides from price anyone would buy this over a regular battery mower?
If you just want to mow your lawn, there's no reason to consider this model over regular ones. This one will be smaller and slower, and the advantages of cylinder mowers are lost on all but the most enthusiastic lawnkeepers.
I think they are supposed to cut grass so it looks pretty.
Without the catcher it's quite small.
Gah I have been eyeing this off for months now.
Just beware that cylinder mowers in general are more suited for well maintained flat lawns.
If you have a bumpy lawn, better good with a tradition rotary mower.
I don't think this price is available at all stores though. I vaguely remember seeing those at $219 or so at Springvale store yesterday.
Can anyone recommend me a good mower for about 75 sqm lawn? Moving to a new place and never had used these before. I gathered that 36 V non cylindrical ones are the goto and I already got 2 Ozito batteries.
Naaa not dog water.
Orzito is mad lit on God. No caps!
Aw damn, all the non qualified tradespersons voted me down.
@teabogan: Maybe voted down by the qualified ones too as they realise this brand might not be particularly for them; but do see the value Orzito represents for non tradespersons.
Username checks out!
Does anyone have a receipt for this at $99 so we can try and price match? Seems to be $219 at every other Bunnings unless I'm mistaken?
Even Cannington Bunnings shows as $219 on the stock checker.
I'm guessing this is where maulmonk purchased this for $99, maybe the stock checker doesn't reflect special mark downs.Went to to a couple local ones today and one on the way to work and they were all $219. Must be some stores only.
receipt please
tiaAs other comments - looks like that price is specific to that store. My trip to Bunnings ended with nothing. $219 tag and asked employees about it, they said it had to be store specific.
I understand that cylinder mowers are not the best choice for buffalo grass as they cut too short? What do you think.
You can't get as low as other varieties, but if your buffalo turf is largely flat and not spongey, you can certainly mow it with a cylinder mower like this at ~20-30mm height and enjoy all the same benefits.
Ok, I think my buffalo is thick and normally cut high, I seen many recommending to cut it from at least 30 to 50, so unless you set this to the max height of 38, it would be too risky to damage it.
@huntabargain: You would probably need to do a lawn renovation, cut it lower and get the thatch out. Flatten it out etc.
After that is all complete (it'll take 3-4 weeks to recover), you could then start mowing lower with a cylinder mower like this, and as long as you stay on top of it you'll have a beautiful lawn for months/years to come.
YouTube videos on "lawn renovation" or "buffalo renovation", it's a bit of work but absolutely worth it if you can spare the time.
I don't know about this one but as a kid I tried to use a new manual powered cylinder mower on buffalo grass and it was terrible. The grass was clearly too long and thick, and it would jam with every push. I don't know if this would be much better but I doubt it. Mine was a solingen branded one sold in Big W at the time alongside a flymo one that cost a few bucks more.
I know people are saying that these are great for putting greens and the like, but in that case couldn't you just use a push one in case of such fine grass? Then you wouldn't have to run the battery.
Must be select stores only. My local has it $219 reduced from $249
Mods asleep on this deal (4 reports as of this morning). No way voting should be 87 for a store specific deal and store only has 2 units mind you.
Its $219 at Bunning Tarneit, trip wasted.
Could have just used a phone and called up first?
Was not aware of different pricing at different bunning stores.
Also, $219 at Hoppers Crossing.
I checked Thomastown in VIC yesterday. Still sitting at $219 with 5 left in stock. I've asked to price match but person said they dont price match clearance items from other Bunnings stores.
Weird, I called them about anither product and they said they did
Is this suitable for overgrown buffalo grass? say like 6 inches tall?
Absolutely not
11 thousand clicks for 2 marked down mowers in western Australia.
Spot on. Can you report this for insufficient quantity? I used my report for title and can't do another.
Yeah done
Was able to price match at Stafford,QLD
@kapil27: How did you do that? All Bunnings I’ve been to have been adamant they won’t price match other Bunnings stores. Do you remember who you spoke to?
I just went to counter and asked if they can price match.
It was nice lady and she happily did it for me
Can you post the receipt pls, so I can go there and do the same. Virginia wouldn't budge
I asked for price match but in vain.
Still $219 at Malaga in WA.
Can't find the single one at Bayswater. Oh well.
You'll never find the single item remaining … it's a magical golden fleeced platinum toothed unicorn that doesn't actually exist.
So if you see 2 in stock, you're getting the last one.@liam2040: It's like when you place an online order at Super Cheap Auto which says it's in stock. You get a call later from the store saying "We can't find the stock. The system says there are two in stock but we can't find them".
Can anyone upload a copy of their receipt? My local is difficult and will only price match if I give them a garbage story that my cousin just bought one blah blah
uploaded now. edited into original post
Not $99 at Port Melbourne. $219 is the price today.
same, called some stores and they replied $219
Ask to speak to the store manager… mention that it's a discontinued item and selling at other stores for (in this case) $110. Worked for me and @satcher on Saturday at Vermont South.
Receipt I used (not mine but uploaded by a member of the FB group):
https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/226071/109658/bunnings…It was posted on a FB before Christmas that this cylinder mower kit was on sale for $120 in a store in Adelaide, and when I went to my local Bunnings last week after the new year and tried to match it, I talked to a staff and he gave a straight answer without evening looking that they can't match other stores, then I asked to talk to a supervisor, and I told him it's a deleted item and on clearance, and he said that the lower I can do is $180, and I got one for that price.

Just spoke with Bunnings Cannington and they said it's $219 and that there was no way it'd have been sold for $99. I gave them the item number listed at the top here.
Whoever you spoke to had no idea what they were talking about. Its likely the items been taken off their systems so maybe they couldn't find it.
She did look it up on their system using the item number I provided and told me that it's $219.
@WestAussie: I did ask the store lady about OP's photo and she said it was a return item and hence its price was reduced to $99.
@WestAussie: I just picked up one listed at $219 instore at Heatherbrae, they have 4 left, and asked for them to price match this post, lady gave it to me for $110. Not the skin version either, comes with battery and charger, just went and used it, works really well but I do have couch grass.
You think the OP's pic is fake?

Got the last one from belmont bunnings, price matched for 99 from OP
no go at Oakleigh south, but they were willing to reduce it to $150, around 5 left.
Cheap, electric cylinder mower.
