Great review! awesome camera/editing skills. The warranty works! I bought this model before xmas and it worked great until last week - I ran over a small branch - the electric cut out tripped, (about a 20 second delay until the cutout resets) on restart the electric motor turned but there was a mechanical break somewhere and the blades did not tun (not jammed) Bunnings were very helpful and happy to replace it but this model wasn't currently available. Bunnings offered me the choice of any other make or model and I could make up the difference in price - if any. I opted for the OZITO PXCLMS-018 their smallest rotary mower.(+$9) It is far more capable - cuts Dandelions! - than the cylinder mower. Horses for courses the cylinder is great for maintaining well kept manicured lawns and the added benefit of being able to use it as a human powered more when the battery goes flat !
Good review. Cylinder mowers cop a bad wrap from people that are not using them in the correct application. You explained their intended purpose perfectly. Subbed, looking forward to more reviews.
Great review mate. Really enjoyed it. You’re correct in saying weight is what’s stopping it cutting at 14mm, it’s a problem a lot of cylinder mowers have. They float on the grass as it compresses beneath them.
Great review, Mate. I'm a bit of a Cave Man and I'm still using my fossil fuel drinking Briggs & Stratton powered Rover cylinder mower....I love it. However, you have explained the very essence of why a cylinder mower gives a better cut than the rotary mowers....and this product that you're showcasing sure is affordable compared to petrol powered cylinder mowers. Your lawn looks great....good job.
My shed is 3x your lawn size :) nice review mate. Ozito is rebranded einhell, I wish Bunnings brought the scarifier over here to Aus! I'd buy one of those.
Dude....jealous! I'd love a shed that big 😅😅😅 yeh a scarifier would be awesome. On a Facebook group I'm in they're trying to get ALDI to bring back an electric one they sold a while back.
Hey great review mate! Nice dog. And if it's you that designed and looks after that garden great job mate it looks mint. I'll sub I hope you do more garden stuff I love mowing and gardening equipment. Cheers! Peaceout! 😊👍✌️
I sort of helped with the garden design haha and I do look after most of it. I get a guy in to trim the hedges when I want it nice and straight and I've got a lawn guy that does some of the harder stuff (lawn coring, Reno's)
Good review thanks. This is not the mower for the type of lawn we have to mow - Kykuya grass. Saved us some grief I think. Seems it would be ideal for a nice flat smooth lawn.
Great review mate. Just wondering gow did your catcher go with more use? Mine started falling apart in 2 months of use. The catcher has been a real pain. Also the mower keeps getting jammed everytime it comes across tiny wood barks on my grass, so i need to literally broom my lawn before using the mower. Hence, im thinking of getting a petrol rotary and will probably still use this mower as a 2nd cut, once the rotary has tidied up the lawn.
Don't need the catcher if you do 2 quick cuts . First at med height . Second at low cut .. and you can just leave all the short clippings to disappear into the lawn .
11.59 Sun 5 mar. Ok in the little plastic goodies bag there are 2 bright silver screws about 1.5cm long. Where the the handle fits onto the body, it’s plastic with a hole on one side. Screw each screw into those holes. 😄
Is it a self propelled mower or does the motor just spin the blades (while you push it along)? A couple of years have passed since your review, do you still have the mower and if so, how has it held up over time?
@@TheAldiReviewer yeah true! I was planning to buy one in a few weeks once temperatures warm up and was mainly keen on the lowest cut setting as i have couch lawn.
@@TheAldiReviewer Thats brilliant. I was actually wondering how i could try and balance bricks on top of it since i heard that its super light and may just float over the lawn(if uneven and spongy)rather than cut down to 14mm. The fert bag idea is brilliant! Thanks!
No it doesn't unfortunately. To create stripes you will need something with a fair bit of weight. This mower weighs less than 15kg and just isn't enough to stripe the grass.
I watched this review while standing in front of the product at Bunnings. Bought it and cut my lawn the same day. It is good.
Lol nice one!

Thanks for your comment 🙌 and loving the Facebook group 👍😊
That's a perfect yard for a robot mower like the Moebot, especially with the wide paver edging
Went out to buy one, and bunnings is sold out state wide. Someone has been sharing the love!
Great review, Mate.

Your lawn looks great....good job.
Thank you 🙌 the Briggs and Stratton will keep going forever 👍
Good job. Very nice lawn
Wow, cutting kings pride buffalo very low and it looks a little like couch in some shots. Amazing
Make note though, don't cut Buffalo too low before winter 😬 took a beating this winter but it'll come back 🤞
J foo really jealous of your lawn

They (Bunnings/Ozito) have now! Bought one last summer. Works well.
Exceptional garden .
Going to buy one today, thanks ..
Looking forward to more videos from you.
Thanks for the review - was looking for a cheap mower for my small yard. Will grab one from Bunnings.
Thanks for the insights/review! can i ask what plants you have growing behind your hedge?
Ozito is Einhell in EU
😉
Learn something new every day 😂
But this is the cheapest and best entry into reel mowing and the best option for small lawns
Sure is, I bought an Einhell Scarifier and it works with Ozito battery 👍
you need the correct type of grass or turf to get best effect
Did you try adding weight on the mower to make it cut lower?
Very good review
My lawn is pretty level but on an even slope, do you think this mower would be ok?

@@TheAldiReviewer looks mint mate. Cheers! 👍
I've got lots of ozito stuffs. They are awsome product.
I agree. Great for the home DIYers
Bit of a random question 🤔 how tall are you??
I have the grass trimmer and blower kit. Was a bit unsure on buying but I'm glad I did. They work great
Good review
Reel Low Buffalo 😬🤟🏼
Great review, you should do more garden / lawn content. Do I hear an Adelaide accent?
Haha yes I'm from Adelaide! Thanks
Fantastic review. Thanks mate
Good review 👍 Thank you!😊
Good detailed review. Cheers
Very clear, thx bro

Can’t believe you used the same pun about the mower not cutting your lawn twice
I did didn't I lol!
Don't need the catcher if you do 2 quick cuts . First at med height . Second at low cut .. and you can just leave all the short clippings to disappear into the lawn .
Is this machine good for Empire Sozia grass
Can I fit a 18v Ryobi battery in it ?
Thanks for the video. I found the Ryobi version on a runout special so I grabbed it. Very happy with the performance
How exactly is the handle fixed to the mower itself - I'mjust not getting it right!
11.59 Sun 5 mar. Ok in the little plastic goodies bag there are 2 bright silver screws about 1.5cm long. Where the the handle fits onto the body, it’s plastic with a hole on one side. Screw each screw into those holes. 😄
Is there any way to sharpen the blades?
Awesome content mate!! Keep it comin 🤙🏽
would this work well for palmetto buffalo?
Nice one! Ozito fits inline with Aldi range I think
Haha not quite, but maybe ALDI will bring out something to compete with it.
Is it a self propelled mower or does the motor just spin the blades (while you push it along)?
A couple of years have passed since your review, do you still have the mower and if so, how has it held up over time?
I have one and they're good for small flat lawn but don't let and sticks or stones get in there.
How well does it cut at the 14mm height? and how are you liking it after a few months of use?
Cuts well, but for the last 3 months I haven't needed to cut due to the cold weather and little sun...
@@TheAldiReviewer yeah true! I was planning to buy one in a few weeks once temperatures warm up and was mainly keen on the lowest cut setting as i have couch lawn.
@@praashekh if you need it to cut lower, a bag of fertiliser balanced on the battery compartment works 👍

Looks like my Sun Joe electric reel mower
How will that go with cutting sir Walter buffalo grass
Mine is king's Pride Buffalo so not too different. The important thing is to mow regularly.
Sir Walter is a bit tougher than the buffalo seen here, so you wouldn't want to let it go.
Hey great review. Can I ask what grass type your lawn is?
King's Pride buffalo
does it create small stripes whit the rollers ?
No it doesn't unfortunately. To create stripes you will need something with a fair bit of weight. This mower weighs less than 15kg and just isn't enough to stripe the grass.
Aren't those just strips of different heights?
@@JamesLangmead no it’s the direction of the push down with the cut
🐾Handsome Harry
Hello ! What seeds you used for your lawn ? I am looking for this type of grass. Thanks.
Didn't use seeds. King's pride buffalo
That's what here in Oz is called "buffalo"
Everywhere else it's "carpet grass".
Best grown from runners or sods of grass.
@@rocknralst Augustine in the states
I just bought this on 15/12/2023 and the price was $192 .
$149 three years ago 😮😮😮, which means 26% hike, Bunnings monopoly
Anabel Shoal
The handle is way to short Must be made for small people.
Superb garden by the way.. Don't like the lawn.. i have no real idea why people go for those buffalo types.. Santa Ana rules
Your previous mower just needed new blades🤷♂️
