Jsut purchased and used once - good!
Due to lockdown the mrs didn't want a gardener coming over, we have about 250m2 lawn which is in four separate areas so I found I needed 20m of electric cable.
Mower was super easy to assemble out of the box, and just went off cutting. No mess, the grass catcher did it's job and needed emptying four times - about half of our green bin full.
I have back problems, and pushing it can be a little tough, but the grass was getting long and it cut without issues on a dry lawn. Didn't want to spend a fortune on a battery mower or mess with petrol ...Read more

Perfect for town house and medium size lawn where required electrical cable length is less than 25 meters.
Easy to assemble and use. Enough power-1500 w to cut the grass (15-20 cm height) in the medium sized backyard(200m sq). More power would be unnecessary. One should not be cutting more than 40% of the length of the grass at a time so as not to damage the grass roots. It is sturdy and robust and comes with 3 years of warranty. Therefore peace of mind. Assembling basket looks little complex due to flexibility of the material but not very difficult. However flexibility also makes it durable. And this is just one time job. Overall happy. Serves my need.

Its okay, but great for the price!
I purchased this mower after reading many positive reviews although its power and features arent as flash hot as some other brands on the market i think given the price it serves more than its purpose and is very ideal for a situation like myself who has a small backyard to cut here and there. Overall Im very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to other individuals.

Recently upgraded from older Ozito Electric Lawn Mower
Personally i like corded lawn mowers, i don't understand why we don't have a bigger and better range.
Overall it works fine and i give my lawn mower a hard time.
The catcher is a bit small, balance is a bit off when it gets full. Catcher is hard to get on and off, needed some rivets to stop it from falling apart. Handle angle is a little low for my liking. From the previous version its improved and gone backwards at the same time. The motor does tend to struggle a bit on thicker grass.
Hope to get a couple more years from it, but not sure if i would buy another one. At $150 it still good value and with a 3 year warranty really cant go wrong.

Great if it lasted....
Excellent lawn mower and more than powerful enough for our small lawn of around 100m2. What really annoys me is they don't last! This is the second one now and after about 9 months to a year it just seizes.
Electric motors are supposed to be super reliable and maintenance free. Nothing unusual about our lawn. It doesn't do any heavy duty work. Not over heated at all. The blade on the one I'm about to bin is unworn. At least I now know why I couldn't find anywhere that sold spare blades. Ha ha you will never need them!

Perfect for the price
I used to have a push mower and my lawn was long overdue partially because the push mower is almost useless if the grass grow to certain height. I thought this E mower will have a tough time for the first mowing at least as the grass is not only high but also wet. But it went through without any difficulties. Should have got it earlier.

Great value
Good little lawn mower. It is a little bit low on power, not as powerful as the others and has a small catcher. However, you can't fault it for the price.

Got the job done.
This is an awesome machine due to its light weight it’s very easy to manoeuvre and operate over the lawn, my backyard is very uneven so this was perfect to get the job done, the catcher is 38litres so the length and thickness of your grass will determine how often you will need to empty it. Because it’s electric there’s no need to worry about charging batteries or filling with petrol or oil.

Ozito corded electric mower
This mower is a perfect replacement for a petrol mower when you become sick and tired of trying to start it. This one starts first go!! I watched a YouTube video on it by a guy in Qld, and he raved about it with his thick grass and great demo. I am so so happy with it. I recently cut down a veritable forrest around the side of the house and it did not miss a beat. I originally thought that this was only good for small to medium sized lawns, but I'm not so sure anymore. It has never stalled on anything that I have cut. It is light, agile, compac...Read more
t and powerful, probs coz of the corded motor but a little cord management and it's not painful at all. I highly recommend this for small to medium, but would not be suprised if it worked a treat on any lawn!Purchased in September 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for $149.00.

Best Budget mower under $150
Mower easy to use and Assemble, packaged simplistic and only 5 minutes tops assembly without the use of any tools, surprisingly a very quite mower, little flap that indicates when the catcher requires emptying is a great visualization tool as it takes away the guessing, this model is recommended over the 1000W model which is $99.

Makes me feel like a genius.
Ive bought two of these mowers for two different properties,the first one in march 2018, and the second one in december 2018 (to replace an 'orrible Victa push mower.Theyre fab little devices that work really well and give an excellent result with minimum fuss.Well designed and very economical....I really like the surprising amount of power and the strong vacuuming action which really cleans up all the leaves and clippings thoroughly.

For the price this is a perfect mower
2018
Electric Ozito is so light and cuts shorter than my last mower. I have nursed my Briggs and Stratton for 3 years too long. The Ozito 1500W doesn't stall either. You will have to mow your lawn differently though.... making sure to work away from the cord. The guy at Bunnings was so knowledgeable. He said you need a heavy duty lead and you can't join 2 domestic cords together..... Reason being the amount of power the mower is pulling is more than a domestic cord.
He also said, not exactly sure why that your lawn has to be no more than 20 met...Read more

Addictive
I am a middle aged female with shoulder and elbow pain, so the pull start and maintenance of a petrol lawnmower is not for me. So glad I googled the electric option and before I knew it, I bought an Ozito 1500w. If I can put it together by myself, anyone can! I have loved it from day one.

Great value mower
My first electric mower which replaced my push pull mower. I paid $149 for the 1500W model even though I have a tiny lawn. The 1000W was $99. The main difference apart from larger motor is on the 1500W model the catcher is bigger and the height can be adjusted by a lever, not by adjusting the wheels, like on the 1000W model. I put the mower together easily, although the catcher took a bit longer than I'd have liked. Once assembled it works like a dream. My lawn has never looked better and it takes me about 5 minutes to mow! Only negative is I wanted to buy a spare blade for when this one got blunt, but Bunnings don't stock them. They can be bought online or Bunnings store may be able to order one in.

Great for small home
Bought one locally from bunnings as hire was more expensive. it is light and easy to use. Looks cheap plastic, but who cares, it does what it is supposed to do. Our backyard is small and it really works well for us. Have used about 7-8 times in the past months.
It also comes with warranty too.

And we still have petrol mowers because??
I’ve always been a petrol mower person and our 4-stroke mower died (mower repair dude’s diagnosis) and I needed a new mower quickly. I didn’t fancy spending $300+ on another one – the recently deceased one was more than that and had only lasted 5 years. And what is it about mower shops that they always make you feel stupid? Or maybe that’s just me. I was surprised to see that plug in mowers were around half the price of petrol ones. Never having used one I think I had the same concerns most people have about going from petrol to electric – is i...Read more
t really up to the task? Will it choke on the first patch of couch it encounters? After all 1500W is what the hairdryer runs on. Walking out of the shop with the box didn’t instill confidence – I carried it out, without straining – it only weighed 10kg. How could something that light and feeble mow a lawn? Anyway I bought it because $150 was what I was anticipating spending on servicing the old one. It also has a 3-year warranty. In fact if it lasted the three years I’d be well ahead because I’d also spend $25+ a year on petrol. So I figured it was a reasonable risk. There was a little bit of assembly that took me about half an hour. Intelligent people could probably do it in half that. Starting it requires pushing a button and holding the lever on the handle, and required no effort whatsoever. Turning it off is a matter of letting the lever go which means it will turn itself off whenever you let go of the handle. Turning it on, my first bit of happy was the noise. It’s not quiet by any absolute measure, but it’s about the same as a washing machine on spin. You can hear people next to you talking. But because turning it off and on is so easy, you can do it all the time. That will take a bit of getting used to. Having only ever used metal chassis petrol mowers, the lightness of this mower also took some getting used to. No petrol, no oil, no smoke and not much noise. Is my lawn laughing at it? As for the performance – it did at least as good a job as the old petrol one. It devoured thick grass without struggling in a way the petrol one never could. I didn’t use the catcher but it did a good enough job of mulching the grass (it isn’t a mulching model as such) that I didn’t need to collect it. The one weird bit is getting used to the power lead and making sure it is out of the way. That will take some time and I may have to change my mowing choreography. But considering the lightness, ease of use, (relative) quietness and the great first time results, I’m very happy with it. Frankly, I’m not sure why people are still buying petrol ones.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good mower for the price
It’s an ok mower for the price, original bought the one below this but it was useless so returned it for the next model up (this one) cuts well and has 5 settings that adjust all 4 wheels at the same time, grass box is ample size and has an indicator to let you know when it’s full, the only issue is even though it’s 1500kw it can still struggle on thick grass and needs to go over with a few settings to get best results but like I say good for the price

Questions & Answers
Sheryl W.asked
Where can I purchase a replacement blade for this model
Wesasked
how do you assemble the grass catcher. Its diabolical!
1 answer
Yep, I had to put some rivets in to hold together. The other issue is getting it on and off. Their are lots of little design issue with it including the balancing.
Kerryasked
I was going to buy the cheaper Ozito Electric mower but Bunnings were out of stock so I purchased the ELM-1536. I can't find on the Bunnings site details of the type of blade for this model. I have a document bag for manual, receipt, etc and I would also like to include blade details in this bag if ever I want to replace it. Does any one know if Bunnings stock them and the I/N number? Thank you
1 answer
Sorry do not know the blade number, you can order it as a special item from the bunning desk. However when i did want to purchase a new blade for an older mower it was actually quite expensive. Almost thought it would be better to buy a new mower.
