It works and it is quiet – I read some poor reviews of hand push mowers, but I am on the budget and needed to mow the lawn. With the person at Bunnings shaking his head and telling me it was rubbish and there was no need to let him know how I went, because he knew it would be bad - I bought it anyway. And I was pleasantly surprised when I started cutting the lawn! It worked… Read more

beautifully. It was quiet. It was neat. Sure, a couple of times a little twig stopped it, but that was an easy fix to remove and keep going. I have a sizeable lawn to do and I did it all in like an hour. Comparable to a standard mower. I even did some tall grass areas, luckily only had a small patch of this. I can't vouch for the longevity of the product, but it is such a simple design and I'm pretty sure I will be able to swap wheels and sharpen those blades as needed. Can't beat it for the super cheap price of $65!

Great way to get fit – i bought the mower 2nd hand, previously it was used for a small lawn. I have a big lawn, the only bug bear I have is the lawn needs to be clean before you start, meaning removing all twigs as it just locks up. Positives, it cuts at a good height leaving the lawn looking healthy instead of to the ground, I cant get round in one hit so I do it over stages, but I also use a whipper snipper around the edges, its better for the environment  Show details

Quality of blade is superb which cuts in an angle and make smooth finishing on the lawn. i do not need to push so hard to make working for me. I recommend this manual lawn mover for all  Show details

Good for small lawn – I bought this one in December last year from local bunnings. It was the cheapest option when you get a push mower. It comes with no lawn catcher. You have to buy it separately which cost you extra. It works fine especially when you have a small lawn to work on. However, it is still need lots of physical work involved when you mow the grass. Works okay but not prefect.  Show details

Works ok – It is enviromentally friendly and this is what I love about it ... this product though is made for grass and struggles with weeds. which is fair enough since it is for grass so I cant complain too much I think it works great on grass but yeah it is up to you to make sure its cutting just that grass and not weeds.  Show details

Good for small patches – I've never had owned a push reel mower - usually opted for 4 stroke petrol lawn mowers. But for small patches around 20 to 30 square meters, a mower of that size is overkill. I'm not exactly sure how long I should expect the cutting blade to stay sharp, but I think this came with a 3 year replacement warranty, which is satisfying enough.  Show details

Perfect cheap mower for fit gardeners – Bought this off FB marketplace for $20 had to adjust the cutting blade and back knife a bit for it to work but this was pretty simple really, just followed the instructions in the online manual and it works beautifully. Does a fantastic job of cutting my couch and kikuyu lawns when dry (you shouldn’t cut wet lawns anyway). Something wholesome… Read more

about using a push reel mower compared with my petrol mower. * tip. You can take the roller off and fill it with sand to make it heavier. This gives a better cut and stops the mower bouncing.

Best thing I’ve found on hard rubbish for quite a while – I have been looking at these push mowers for awhile and found this model on hard rubbish it just needed a bit of adjusting a bobs your uncle we was on our way we have a small lawn out the back and this little doozy fits the bill just goldilocks I recommend you do your lawn once to twice every two weeks this is a gr8 little mower. Show details

it is a good little mower but you need a flat grass area i found it very hard mowing my lawn as it i – good little mower its quite difficult to mow the lawn you need to have a level yard which I don't have. its quite difficult to move over the lawn and it doesn't get close enough to the edges so you need to use a whipper snipper. so I gave up using the mower and use the whipper snipper  Show details

Perfect for a small lawn – As the title says, this lawnmower is perfect for a small lawn. It's great because it's environmentally friendly and you'll never find yourself out of fuel when you need to mow the lawn. If this is the only lawn mower you own, you'll need to regularly mow your lawn - as when the grass gets too long this mower becomes more difficult to use. I would highly recommend this product.  Show details

Perfect for small lawn – This mower cuts really well. Bought it as I have a rental with a tiny lawn and don't need to spend the money on a proper petrol or electric mower. It is relatively easy to move this around the yard. It does tend to get a bit stuck if there is too much grass sitting between the blades, but this can be easily fixed by pushing it through. Not much maintenance needed.  Show details

Fine for small spaces – It's enough if you have 50sqm or less lawn area. Works better if the grass is only 5-7 cm high. If the grass is higher than this then it takes a lot of effort or move the blade high. It's very easy to clean and can work forever if it's dry and is sprayed with WD40 after each use. Due to the small size, it can be used in tight corners.  Show details

A very basic mower, but good for emergencies – Hmmm. We use this for trims only. It does save fuel and polution, but the grass comes up again quickly. The cutting width is thin and it can jam easily on small sticks etc. We losr a bolt out of the handle within a couole of weeks of buying it. It is worh buying, but doesn't suit big lawns overly well, but could get you through a real estate inspection. We are glad we have it.  Show details

For small and lawn without weed only – I have bot petrol and this I only use this to finish-cut. not for big lawns . the worst part is the catcher with is not but just a catcher. I fell your money will be well spent on a cheep electric or petrol mower if you even have an average lawn.  Show details

Fantastic and smooth – I only have a small l-shaped strip of back garden and while I originally considered a cordless, or electric mower I instead went with this Ozito manual push mower. It does the job perfectly and is light enough to lift and carry around as needed. Even when the lawn is a little longer than it recommends it still runs very smoothly (might need to… Read more

go over it twice), and requires no more effort that pushing the vacuum cleaner.

Clean up is super easy, and being a manual mower there are so few parts to it that it's a quick fix at home if anything goes wrong, providing you know the right end of a screwdriver.

I got the catcher to go with this (separate purchase) and it's not the greatest, tends to bounce around a bit and fling some cuttings out, but I would say it catches about 75% of the cuttings. You will need to stop and empty it frequently, but, it's all good for the compost!

It works if the grass isn't too long! – It cuts but not all the way to the bottom like fuel lawn mowers. It's great for a small lawn and it's definitely great exercise and environmentally friendly. DON'T tighten the blades though as they'll make a loud sound as they start to swipe each other. It also doesn't cut the grass well after this. After getting a replacement cos we made this… Read more

mistake, we've been using this new one for 6 months and the blades don't require tightening. Tighten the rest of the screws regularly though.

The Grass Catcher – This review is for the grass catcher I bought separately. It cost $20.80, but it seems to be worth $2. I cannot fathom the claim of having 18-liter capacity; seems more like 2 maximum. The sides aren't high enough to catch the grass--some of it flies over. It's extremely lightweight, not like the good old canvas-and-steel catchers. Definitely… Read more

needs a redesign--higher sides; a hook instead of the strap, and an upturned lip at the front to keep more of the grass from bouncing out.

Great for small courtyard lawns – I bought the Ozito push mower because it was smaller than the other push mowers on the market. I don't have a garden shed so didn't want a bulky push mower, this one fits perfectly into my outdoor storage box. I only have a small courtyard lawn 3 meters by two meters, so this mower is brilliant for me. The handle was easy to assemble & I… Read more

bought the grass catcher to go with it which is great. It feels sturdy & well constructed. I learned that you have to give it a good push & go fast to get the best cutting action. My lawn was done in no time & it cut it really well, far better than I thought it would, looks like a lawn mower has mowed it. I wish my lawn was a bit bigger because I enjoyed using it. Would be great exercise on a bigger strip of lawn.

Good for enviro but you must be strong – It is simple to use but you need to be strong enough to use it. The longer the grass the harder it is to use so regular trims work better. Doesn't come with grass storage bag at the back which I recommend to get unless you want to rake up after you mow. Packs away very easy as it's so small. Perfect for small areas  Show details

Keeps the kids occupied – Now before you rant on and say "OMG!! What a bad parent! They're so dangerous!" Etc... Let me just stop you and say, that my kids are always supervised and this is no exception. My youngest has a rather big dose of ADHD, and struggles to focus, or sit still. This my friends is AMAZING for combining his love of rotating objects and running… Read more

around. Perfect! The yard eventually gets mowed over the course of 2 or so days, but if I don't have to do it then that's a win!

Sure the mow quality isn't perfect and he has to repeat a few times. And it struggles in the thicker or longer tufts. So what, haha! It keeps him busy :)

I have owned it 3 months and it has probably mowed more lawns than any other lawns on this review site and it still cuts. If it broke tomorrow, I would buy another one because it keeps the kid amused.

Great when there is no petrol smelle – Found lawn mower easy to maneuver but not as easy as it looks. Requires some effort unlike a normal mower would push it self basically only using on small space not even 6 metre square and doesn't now down or over thicker pads of grass, gets stuck easy and potential danger when I have to remove acorn nuts from the blades that have fallen from… Read more

tree, jamming in the blades. I think It would be ideal if lawn was already maintained and extremely short grass or it struggles, even with brand new blades. Handle not strong so needed securing, with tape, as bolt fell out, after three metres. Bolt not ln line with grooves and could be made with more secure handle. OK for price paid.

Don't waste your time or money – It doesn't cut the grass at all, it is almost impossible to get the right height adjustment, it probably moves after you adjust it. I have tried it tens of times and it cuts very small amount of grass every time you pass, you will have to pass the same area over 10 times. It was sitting in the garage for a while, then when I found its invoice just returned back to Bunnings. The were kind of enough to take it back.  Show details

Good for what its meant to be - a push mower – I was apprehensive after reading all the troubling reviews, but took the chance (since I had the option to return). OK lets get to the point - The Ozito push mower is NOT a normal gas/electric mower. So the usual applies: 1. It will get stuck on long weeds & sticks (pull them out beforehand) 2. Its less effective if grass is left too long 3.… Read more

It does require some muscle and momentum to be effective (you won't glide thru like an ice skater!)

5. It can't cut at the edge of walls/barriers (wheels get in the way)

I believe all of the above is standard for push mowers. However this is cheaper, quieter, and requires less maintenance. The key is to play with the blade/cutter spacing to get the most effective cut. Personally, I use ~1mm spacing (i.e. still free-rolling) and it seems to work well. Had it for 12 months or so, still no problems.

If your garden is messy, uneven or poorly kept, a push mower will probably cause you more stress tho.

It is cheap plastic junk – I bought it on 16/3/17 at Bunnings. I am not quite happy with the cutting results as it struggles when the lawn gets a little bit long. Also, it is not easy to maneuver due to the missing mannual. It is not easy to operate. It is hard to maintain as it becomes rusty easily. You must keep it dry and well oiled after every cut.  Show details

Great mower for Buffalo – Have this mower at home brilliant for my 10sqm Patch in the backyard, Got it with the catcher good idea makes it effortless to mow, and easy to clean up. Just dont let the lawn get too long as it will struggle but apart from that its a good little unit with the great bunnings warranty why would you bother paying more?  Show details

so i spend a hour pulling it apart.its cheap plastic junk,made of steel that will rust asap.cannot get it to turn,so if you

buy this ozita,you must keep it dry and well oiled after every cut,otherwise once it rusts,its useless.all plastic and cheap

steel parts,if you treat it like a baby,cleaning it ,washing it,then oiling after each cut,then enjoy.otherwise get something better

LOL – Well it works kind of, like you need to adjust it and oil it like 50 times a week to get it going by that time you spent enough time to cover an 8 hour shift at work and buy a real mower. If your 65 or 80 and have very short grass it may make you look cooler though for your friends.  Show details

very average – good to use if your lawn is perfect and without any loose particles. Things get caught in the blade very easily which makes it very frustrating to use. I will definately buy a diffrent lawn mower that is more resistant. thank you Ozito for making my life harder in mowing lawns.  Show details

Average quality. Only good for small lawn – After my first use a bolt had fallen off and another two were loose. This was because there were no washes included with the mower. I went to bunnings and purchased washers and these bolts didnt come loose again. Since then a different bolt from the height adjustment part has fallen off twice. There is a rectangular oddly curved washer that was… Read more

lost and this cannot be bought seperately. It costs around $20 to $25 to place a special order and get the entire part. I gave up and fabricated the washer myself.

It is okay for a very small lawn like at a unit or small townhouse. Ideally spend a bit more on something much better like a Flymo H40 and save yourself a lot of hassle.

Fantastic - Exceeded expectations! – I bought this yesterday to mow the nature strip - absolutely brilliant! Cut perfectly, very easy to push - I wish had more grass to use it on! It has done a MUCH better job than the mowing man did 2 weeks ago with a petrol mower. This little mower has far exceeded my expectations.

Does the job – I bought this from Bunnings not this exact model but $79 from Bunnings at the moment. I have a small front and backyard, I'm a single mum so I wanted something I could work myself and save some money rather then paying someone to come and do my lawn. I had been putting off getting the lawn done and the backyard was rather long . But honestly… Read more

this did the job . I am so happy ! Obviously had to push over the long bits a few times to chop it all but that was no problem. Once I had finished I went back over it all and it was great. I feel like it's going to be great for just keeping the lawn to a certain length and not letting it grow long .

It did miss the big weeds I have , but once I was finished I just pulled all the weeds out and my lawn looks great .

Easy to assemble, few screws and your done.

I'm happy !
