I bought the Masport 470 2n1 in Bunnings Warehouse. It is a very reliable mower, easy to start, easy to be pushed around the lawn. it is a 4-stroke so you don't have to mix petrol with oil, also quieter than a 2-stroke mower. The only problem I had with it was that once I tilted it too much when cleaning it and some lubricant oil leaked out from the engine. But it did not cause any damage,still works perfectly.

Brought lawn mower from bunnings, found it really hard to start and it wasn't long before the lead that you have to move to put in start, soon got loose and end up having to do it manually. The wheels wear out really quick too. Not meant to last like the ones made in the 70s80s ect

Cutting is clean and even with easily adjustable height setting
Middle of the road for maneuvering, handle nuts need to be checked often as they come loose easily
Mower can take quite a few pull cords starts for motor to kick in especially in winter
It is easy to check and top up oil

We bought this Mower almost 15 months ago from Bunnings, was looking a bit overpriced for 425 AUD because Victa was coming cheaper, but the sales guy there convinced us by one statement that you would be blessing me few years down the line.

And he was so true, even in harsh winters, starts like a charm, does the work and go back to shed, simple and powerful Engine.

Must buy

cuts the grass like you would expect from a product that is purchased to cut the grass. assembly form the box is easy and operation is easy.
mulching function is great and provides an alternative to the catcher.
easy start and has an excellent mowing width to speed up mowing

Starts shortly, within two pulls. Four stroke good.
Folding handle is fantastic to store the mower in a small space as the handle stands vertically.
The chute for mincing the sticks is great as the odd twig that comes along.
Love the black and red colour.
Easy to pour in petrol and oil caps located on the top.
Choice of mulch, catcher and side push out.
Good now while it’s new, and hope it continues.

Great mower, follow the recommended starting procedures and it will start 1st pull, I've had mine for almost 2 years and it still starts 1st pull. Cuts great, ideal cutting height adjustments, light and easy to manoeuvre. I change the oil, spark plug & blades yearly and only use pulp 95 in all my garden tools. Mechanically has never missed a beat and I use it often.
The only issue I have, is the catcher keeps falling off whilst mowing, very annoying.

After lengthy research I decided to go with the Masport 470 Lawn Mower from Bunnings. The 470 ticked all the boxes: 4 blade, 4 Stroke, large catcher that wasn’t material but plastic and seemed simple to operate. To my satisfaction the Mower didn’t take too long to prep before first use. A bit of oil, fuel, snap the catcher together and I was ready to get started. First pull did the trick and the 18inch base made cutting the yard quick and easy. Best thing was that I could cut my entire back yard with only having to empty the catcher once (usually 3x being the norm). Highly recommend thus far...fingers crossed my good fortune with this continues for many years!

Very happy with this mower. Reasonable price, but feels very good quality.

The 2 in 1 mulching feature is very handy. I have to mow the lawns at least every week and using the mulching plug saves always emptying the catcher and also the filling of my green bins.

Starts first time, every time.

Its great the ability to mow and mulch means that you are not having to empty the catcher all the time. It starts every time first time, its powerful and an excellent cutter. The reason for 4 not 5 stars the first one i got broke and had to replace.

This mower has the weight, height, catcher and other features to make mowing very easy and enjoyable. It has a good number of height selections, a great catcher with fill indicator and a separate muncher chute. It does not need priming prior to starting, has comfortable adjustable handle, is not too heavy (at least for a 71 y.o. male) and can fold easily for transport

I used to live on a big property and was going to buy a ride on mower and someone said to me don't do it and just buy a Masport Mower from Bunnings and you will never look back. The results were amazing and it cut the grass to perfection. Very easy to maneuver and operate. Just make sure your putting in the right petrol and everything will be OK.

I have not had the same experience as other recent contributors.
The nuts and bolts rattled off this "thing" within two months. Somehow the spark plug lead got jammed between the loose panels and shorted out the mower. Masport badge fell off after one month and went under mower,. Catcher design no good seems to get "chopped" at corners when refitting after emptying during mowing.
Bunnings hopeless.

The mower works very well,cuts threw all kinds of grass,thick,long,short,cuts it and the catcher does the job its meant to.It can be little heavy to manover for some people,but its great if you want to exercise with it aswell.Its very easy to operate and maintain.I would highly recomend this for anyone and is also reasobly priced.

Good mower that we got on special at Bunnings, we actually had an electric mower which gave up after a year ... so we decided to go back to petrol mowers, the ease of the catcher, changing to mulching and the easy starting with the Briggs and Stratton motor ... usually starts on the first or second pull

My husband has had several mowers over the years & they typically last for years. He is most happy about this one. Its lightweight and requires little effort to slice the grass blades like a ninja. It takes him half the time to mow the front and back yards now.

Mower does a great job of cutting my lawn. It's relatively light & easy to push. It has a lever on the side that allows you to adjust blade height so nice and simple. The only thing I don't like is that the catcher fills so quick that it's pointless to use so I leave it off.

My Mower wont start. The manual re control settings is useless because symbols aren't there or are unrecognizable.
In fact the manual is not specifically for the 470.
Sorry I bought the dam thing. It fails totally on the issue of "Is the mower easy to operate & to maintain?"

Have this mower more than 9 months and really happy every time I use it. Easy to start, have good cutting, light weight and the mulching function help a lot during winter to maintain the lawn in even height. The mower is really easy to push due to big wheels hence the maneuver around the corner/edges is really good. Also due to big cutting diameter make my mowing really fast.
