If you are into tools and equipment related to lawn care. This is the place for you. Unboxing, quick looks and reviews of lawn mower, line trimmers and any thing else you can think of. No brand is off limits, Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Masport, Ryobi, Scag, Ego, Milwaukee, Makita, Dewault, Toro and any other you can think of.
I’ll have some more on this mower. The grass cut here was quite a spongy buffalo that I cut mainly the leaf off. If you have anything you’d like me to cover on this mower, let me know.
Hey mate, i dont have this mower, but all my tools are Ozito. I think they are great for the average Joe getting stuck into their DIY work! Plus 5 year warranty!
I have the older 36V version. Plastic everything, but still pretty good. I bought it second hand to test the concept a few years ago and it's great. A tip - keep the blade sharp and the batteries will last a lot longer on a charge. I just touch mine up with a flap disc on an angle grinder as required.
I'm probably going to sell my 6.5hp Honda mower, which is an awesome contractor grade machine, but overkill and really heavy in comparison.
Which is better out of this and the Ryobi you have? Any recommendations for best 36v model in the $500-$700 range out of the ones you've tried?
I love this mower, it's a simple design yes but doesn't skip a beat. 5yr replacement warranty means I'm paying $100 a year for a mower that does the job very adequately. Great buy.
2:59 "You put it in, and like is it in??" - yeah, we've all been there buddy
Story of my life
Tim's neighbour comes home...
"G'day Honey, I see Tim got a new Lawn Mower"
"Sure Did"
I purchased the smaller version with one 18v battery a year ago for around $230. It's been fabulous for my basic-sized house lawn and nature strip. Being a tiny older woman it works a treat, lightweight and easy to use. The battery needs to recharge between doing the front lawn and then the small backyard & nature strip, which suits me cause so do I 😄 But it only takes about an hour, so all good. Was well worth the money as now I save $100 a month for a lawn guy & my clippings get picked up instead of blown around by him 😁 I do mow every 2 weeks so it doesn't make it too hard to get through the growth also.
Looks like a good mower. Can’t wait for full review. Thanks Tim.💚
Your inner perfectionist is making you work too hard. Lol. I'm not familiar with that mower make at all. Maybe it's not in the US. I see a few more test runs in your future. I'm sure you will see what you see!
Purchased this model Ozito in January for my small lawn. Works perfectly for the size Kikuyu lawn and battery’s last 3-4 mows between charging. Love your videos.
Thanks for the feedback on your machine. Anything you love or hate?
@@turfandtools would have liked a mulch function or the ability to mow lower but otherwise it really does suit my current size lawn.
Great review.
Got mine 6 weeks ago and have only had to use it once in anger. Loved how light it is. Only used one bar on the batteries too.
I've just donated my 1998 model Rover, with the Suzuki 2 stroke motor, to a local men's shed. Had it from new! Was as old as my adult son.
Now no fumes, fuel-oil mix, filter, spark plug or pull start.
One problem with the Ozito. The front curved plate and rear plastic infill, around the sweep of the blade, is digging into the grass when going along a hump with the wheels either side. It really seemed to dig in. I'll have to look at it before I mow next.
Maybe a different blade might throw the clippings into the catcher better.
What a piece of junk. Buy a good quality petrol mower instead.
Just a note on batteries, I run Ozito impact and drill. I've had a 2ah battery for must be about 4 or 5 years now and have not noticed any performance drop off yet. It's infrequent use compared to a mower but same batteries so thought I'd mention it.
That’s a good run
Oh wow, just in time for spring. Love your work Tim
Thanks Matt for the review on the OzzyToe mower. It actually did better than I thought it was going to do. I kept waiting for it to just give up in the thicker stuff...
Yes I was surprised. It was all new leaf though. Cutting into the canopy would be a different story -Matt
I'd lol that comment but I cant
Now you’re done with it, can I have it? 😂 been eyeing it off for a while
For small lawns like Tim's, the battery-powered lawn mower is perfect.
Battery connection is definitely annoying with the ozito kits but the price for batteries almost makes up for it.
I've never had any connection problem - the batteries have little rectangular bars which snap back up into place when inserted on the charger or mower. Those both confirm the battery is seated properly and also hold the battery in place.
No worse in my Still electric Lawn mower
Has the 2nd video review come out yet?
Nice vid, in devo as I bought the 18v Ryobi HP. Just before this mower came out.
The Ryobi wouldn’t even be able to cut grass that high.
That ozito mower with a couple of its new 6 or 8amp batteries would do some damage!
It looks like it does a good job lawn Looks beautiful 👍well done
I'm replying to my own - the one tested is a Ozito PXC 36V (2 x 18V) 460mm Brushless Self-Propelled Steel Deck Lawn Mower 4.0Ah Kit PXBMK-4047SP $599 in Townsville. This is an 18inch deck as opposed to the $399 one which is a 15 inch deck which doesn't have a steel deck. I thought battery mowers were quiet. This is every bit as loud as a petrol mower.!! A steel deck is great. I have had 2 B&S petrol mowers, lovingly cared and maintained which have lasted between 3 and 4 years, so in my perspective not having to buy oil, petrol, air filters, etc over 4 years would be around $200 - $250mark. Suddenly June 2024 Bunnings has the non-self propelled one @ $100 lower $499.00. A Ryobi polymer deck would not last long with twigs, etc
Most of my tools are Makita or Bosch but on occasion, I've needed something for a one off job. I didn't want to pay top price for something I needed once so I bought Ozito. They've got a five year warranty and Bunnings has an excellent returns policy. They felt light but after doing the job, I took a critical look at them. First thing I noticed they seemed to be well thought out and built. Still have them ten years later and I use them as decoys for when someone wants to borrow something. If someone doesn't have the budget and not much work, I think they are just tickety boo for the task. That said, I won't be buying Makita anymore. They've gone downhill since they moved their operation from Mexico to China.
Not sold on any battery mowers
Have had the plug in variety for 6 years.Still going strong and done no maintenance to it at all..Nada! Small lawns yes and was $150.Ozito will surprise you.
These models come out around in Australia in 2023. I have got the previous model with the round top and np trouble .I did buy different wheel from bunnings and made bushes and made a better mower
The Ryobi RLM36X46BL is an infinitely better mower at the same price.
What a shame the bagging was so poor.
My Ryobi 2x 18v is primarily used as a lawn vacuum when i dethatch/ groom or have excessive leaves.
Ahoj Time! Desing vypadá hezky, ale při práci mně připadala dost těžce ovladatelná. Ale já tomu moc nerozumím 😊. 👍🌿Jana 🌿👋🌹
I’m lucky I bought my Ryobi One+ mower when they still had the model which held two 18v batteries inline, giving 36v and powering a 36v motor. I’ve no idea why they stopped producing the model, but all mowers in the One+ range now only have an 18v motor. Even the models which hold two batteries run them in series, meaning when one battery drains, the other kicks in, but only ever drawing 18v at a time.
I have an Ozito just like this, but self-propelled it's fantastic mowes my 600 sq meter lawn with battery power left. It's much better than my past petrol mowers.
live in NQ bloody buffalo grows like no tomorrow petrol only. Was surprised at the battery life. Thanks
Apparently Ozito is German but t hey manufacture in China...so, yeah.
I had a Makita dlm432 and it was rubbish on my lawn in my new place. The lawn is really thick. I was going to go back to petrol but thought I'd give an ego a shot. I know what you mean about battery mowers Tim but the ego cuts my lawn like butter. I doubt a petrol mower would be any better.
loving my Ozito power tools Loving my chainsaw. With their warrantee, you cannot go wrong.
I have one of the older Ozito steel decks with self propelled rear wheels. I find that a pair of the 5.2ah (ultra), 6ah or 8ah Battries work significantly better than the standard 4ah. More grunt for longer. Also shame to see that they got rid of the side eject. But for the price point I think its a good mower.
I love mine 🏆 im old & over fighting with my petrol movers , all my tools are ozito battery operated now 👍😊
Just me, or did this mower seem louder than the other battery mowers? I realize the thicker grass would make more blade noise, however, I felt like the Stihl, Ego and Greenworks were a lot quieter?
I had the earlier model. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it. It wouldn’t do the back lawn in one charge. Fortunately got my money back from Bunnings
Hmm, I can see why I wouldn't like it but can also see how it would be good enough for a small lawn if you had patience and wanted to save some money.
Tip when it's thick like that mow half strips with mower less struggle and having to empty the catcher as often.
Used to have one of the ozitos which took 4 batteries.. burnt out the safety switch after a year or two of regular work... Warrant was good, money back and over to Ego.
Ive got one and love it ,
Had it for 2 years now and haven't had a problem,
Ive cut wet grass and did a lawn reno with it ,
It has a boost that if it struggles on long grass ,
Its is light and easy to move around compared to a heavy petrol mower ,
You can get a self-propelled one that has a mulcher ,
There is spear parts you can buy for them to at your local bunnings store,
I never catch grass. It's a waste of nutrients and a disposal issue.
Surely the first thing to break will be the front wheels. Plenty of kids toys with wheels better than this.
That’s a pretty heavy lawn. I reckon one of those and keep the old petrol in the shed if you let it get long.
I tried to buy one last month and was told they’ve been out of stock for quite a while here and no eta on when they were coming in 😅
Ball bearing wheels instead of the ones that are pressed on make all the difference in my opinion.
$500 is not entry level. Doesn’t have self propelled, doesn’t bag well, relatively weak electrically, shit charger and batteries. Not worth the money IMHO.
$500 Aussie dollars mate
Not a terrible cut. I guess being a “man of the land” and a “primary provider” of Sydney’s eggs has taken so much time that the home base lawn is paying the price. 🤣
Careful burning that candle at both ends for too long. You should start to consider some help to maintain this pace.
Cheers and thanks for the great content of late. My wife and I are enjoying the chickens.
😜
Been waiting on this for months.
Of course now colder weather means my grass isn't growing so doesn't need constant mowing
Looks quite a good entry level mower Tim…..impressed with the new stone work in the back garden…..did that reduce the issues you had with drainage?
Not my backyard mate. Can understand why you would think it is. They all look the same
thats not a lawn its a hay crop, i think it agood job
I have one of these just for a tidy up on buffalo. Works great for me
Excellent review video Tim, thanks
Not bad for an Ozito! 5 year warranty a plus. PS: I’ve always been told to put the handlebar knobs on the inside, that way they don’t get broken if you bump into something. Ask me how I know! 😂
please trt the dewalt top of the range
You getting thinner or what bro 🔥
Tim - its Oh-ZEE-toe….
It’s not. -Matt
@@turfandtools 🤣🤣
@@turfandtools 🤣
I'm quite surprised how little it bogged down, the Ryobi at a similar price point I think would struggle in the long Buffalo?
I’ve got a video on this lawn with the Ryobi. If you go back through the videos you’ll see it.
@@turfandtools Yeah I saw it, just been back and skipped through it again to see what you said (cos I have a memory like a Goldfish). So far the only benefit I see with the Ryobi is the deck won't rot out, but then I clean my tools after every use anyway. Looking forward to seeing what the Ozito can do in other grass types.
The video is finally here! Were you surprised at it? Aside from the bagging being a bit of an issue, how was the power? Did it automatically adjust speed of is it a '1 speed, go' kind of deal? Keen to see some follow up videos!
Rpm ramps up and down. Like I said in the video, for weekly stuff it’s fine but if you had to cut into the canopy it would be tough.
@@turfandtoolsto be fair I think most domestic petrol mowers would struggle with the thicker stuff on that lawn! Looked pretty gnarly! Sucks that it doesn't have the option to keep the RPMs up at Max, that's probably why it wasn't collecting the clippings the greatest.. still super interested to see upcoming videos! I'll keep my eyes peeled 👀
Finally 👏
nice lawn. What type of buffalo on that lawn? Sir Walter?
Some sort of buffalo
@@turfandtoolsunfortunately this does not answer the question!!
I don’t know what specific type of buffalo it is.
I don't believe it
😂
Not sure we can trust the opinion of someone who wears a mask to mow !! the more time I live in Oz the more I realise that Crocodile Dundee movie was a lie and Aussies are actually a bit soft ! ;-)
If only we were all as tough as you big man.
@@turfandtoolsjealousy is a curse 💪🇦🇺🍺
Some people have asthma or bad allergies.
I recently got allergies from a fish food I feed my fish. Not fun. Eyes swelled up so much I couldn't see. I've heard people have died from it...allergies are carp mate
Love my Ego 56v Dual 5amp hour batteries self propelled mower. Never heard of Ozito.
It's a cheap tool brand here in Australia. Sold by a big hardware store. They are OK tools for around the home
Just go for a $900 Honda, it'll cost the same or less in the long run and cut easier, better and cleaner.
I think the batteries and possibly the mower also will last 5-7 years, a Honda will last 20+
A $900 Honda will also have extra features such as self propelled, mulching option etc.
You’re not acknowledging a single positive of battery gear though. Lower noise, vibrations and emissions. You don’t have to pull start it or get it serviced. They are very different machines, both have their positives and negatives. Petrol will suit some, battery others
my honda has been relegated to being left under the house since I bought the ozito (previous red model, same mower but no extra battery storage). For our smallish block it's great. The honda is self propelled, but even then I feel like I've done less work with this little ozito vs the honda. the honda is heavy with the drive system and is a pain to move around vege patches and the like. Oh the honda needs a tune up, air filter, spark plug. More money. Will never go back to petrol mowing/line trimmer.
I will stick with my Dewalt 36volt mower thanks
