Ozito PXCLTK-218 (page 2 of 2)

I got this unit to tackle some overgrown garden beds. I found that this unit works well on the tall grass, but when you are trying to do edges or get closer to the ground it throws the blades. After a few uses the trigger started to play up causing the unit to shut down during use. I did absolutely abuse this unit initially so I didn’t bother returning it as it was most likely my own fault that things went wrong. However it became so frustrating to use this unit with the blade and trigger issues that I would just leave the teenage kids to hack ...

Absolute garbage, The red (disposable) blades make this thing literally a toy, as others have said they last not long before they break, the way the attachment is makes it hard to substitute it for a cable tie which would work better if you could mount it on it. They sell disposable replacement packs in Bunnings by bulk and they're not cheap....spend the extra cash and get a proper line trimmer, I won't be looking at an Ozito for my next one

Bought this to replace a previous ozito cordless trimmer that had a dead unreplaceable battery.

It has the same little plastic tab cutter mechanism that is cheap and easy to use and simple to replace when it wears down, my wife really likes its simplicity.

It uses the Ozito Power Change battery system that matches other Ozito products. It came with a simple basic recharger that is fairly slow but with only one Ozito product in our home it completes the work required before going flat. I bought an extra battery for $35 to make sure we get a ...

We bought this Ozito grass trimmer due to our other Ozito products working well. What a disappointment that turned out to be, I have only used it for about half an hour and in that time I have used at least 5 blades. The grass that I was trimming was only short but the blades kept breaking. Then I had to wait for some help to put the new blades on. The blades were useless and I had to give up every time I tried to use it, and I am sorry that I didn’t research better before buying it.
I am going to attempt to take it back to Bunnings, hopefully they will refund our money, and I can get a better one.

Bring back the original blades! I now spend more time changing blades than edging and trimming. Back is sore from bending down to pick up broken blades. I have lots of Ozito tools for general work round house and garden. Genrally work well. If someone has a stash of the old, good blades, they are sitting on a fortune. Off to see about returning the trimmer for something else, maybe just buy some garden shears, back is sore anyhow. Bad egg Ozito on these blades.

This was a good product when first purchased in February 2918. But I agree that the new blades now are terrible. Break very quickly. Product is now almost unusable.
Purchased at Bunnings Hoppers Crossing.

Ive had this for 2 years but some idiot has changed the plastic used in the replacement blades. The old blades were great and just wore down to nothing and could be changed over. I would use 1 blade for 2 lawns. I recently bought new blades and they are brittle plastic and just snap off or shatter which is dangerous. It took 12 blades to do 1 lawn and took hours including changing blades every few minutes. I asked for the Ozito rep. to contact me but nothing after 1 month. I will return this to Bunnings for a refund as it does not do what it is advertised to do. It would be good if someone could contact me ???

Have Ozito battery blower - great, lightweight product. Whipper snipper is a nightmare, blades break off at the slightest bit of thick vegetation .... just finished mowing my small orchard and used whipper snipper for parts mower couldn't reach ... changed 8 blades on whipper snipper to get the job done Aaagh!!!

Does a great job with weeds along the edge of rocks and logs border with plenty of time, could then use battery in the blower..

A packet of plastic blades are cheap and one blade last many days work..

I bought this trimmer about three months after having great experiences with other Oxito tools. My advice for this particular tool is don’t go anywhere near it. It chews out the plastic blades every two minutes and does not cut evenly so even after trying my best the edges look undone. worst design ever.

Ive bought a number of Ozito products and have been impressed with how good they are for the price but not this one. The line trimmer hasn't enought power so is only good for light grass. The weight is too far forward so is unbalanced and hard on the back. The revs trigger can't be made to stay on and is too hard to hold on for any length of time. I used tape to hold it on but the line feed did not work so had to stop and manually feed some more line out.

As others have found for some reason when I first bought it it worked well. Blades supplied? but after they wore out the pack of 20 did very little cutting some even broke on first start without even touching the grass. I was also disappointed that the battery is a different fitting than my other Ozito tools which I'm very happy with. The charger is cheap and takes forever to charge the battery. Gave up eventually and gave it to the op shop to sell for a couple of dollars.

I purchased this Grass Trimmer to replace my old one, as the battery died and a replacement battery was not available. This trimmer is pretty lightweight and easy for me to use. It has a telescopic shaft and adjustable handle, so I can adjust it to trim comfortably. I use it to trim around 25 trees on the rear of my 1/2 acre block. I also trim along the fenceline at the rear and halfway down two side fences. It has enough charge to get the job done in one go. So easy to change the cutting blade, as they just push on. It's also easy to clean after trimming. So far I am very happy with this trimmer.

- Blade come out quite often and broken quite often
- So I have to buy the extra blade quite often
- It can only use for couch lawn, with buffalo lawn it cannot trim properly, need to be patiently wait to properly cut it out.
- I hope, I can return it and get refund from it.

Extremely dissatisfied.

I honestly don't know why I keep putting myself through this. Once again just finished trimming my (very average sized) yard, the blades came off 37 (yes thirty seven I counted) times during about 60 minutes of trimming (half of which was just reattaching blades). Found and reattached most of them but 9 were broken at the attachment point.

Also have two cuts (minor scrapes) from the blades breaking and rebounding off walls into me.

Given it costs about $10 in blades for each use and is such an exercise in frustration I would strongly recommend purchasing a different product.

When I bought my first trimmer the blades that came with it and those I was able to purchase at the time were brilliant. I could do the whole yard with one set of blades - sometimes twice. Now I'm lucky to do 5 minutes (just did that - was probably not even 5 minutes) plus they used to be easy to put on. I am female, not exactly weak though do have some physical limitations, however I asked a male friend to put them on and he couldn't. I have figured out a way with a pair of pliers and hurting myself at the same time but at least can actually get them on. And then they last 5 minutes. Not happy with these at all. Very disappointing considering how great the Ozito products are in general.

The machine itself works really well, but the blades snap too easily especially on stony ground, gravel, even pine cones. I bought a pack of replacement blades only to discover a slight variance made them impossible to remove and replace without the help of a strong pair of pliers. After breaking 12 blades in less than 15 minutes, I looked for an alternative. I discovered that if I left the broken blade on the machine (it snapped back to the largest circle) and tied a piece of whipper/snipper plastic cord on to the largest circle (tie with a...

Bought this together with the Ozito mower and blower and sad to say this trimmer is just rubbish. As others have said the blades keep flying off if they don't break when you hit the ground/concrete first. I've used up 10 blades in 3 rounds of line trimming. What a waste of money and I wish I could return it. I'll never buy another Ozito product ever again.

Extremely disappointed with this poorly designed trimmer. As soon as you encounter a hard surface the blade starts to break up, and you have to replace it every metre or less.
It's also difficult to position accurately.
The safety shield soon failed to stay in place and the blade made contact, so it had to be refitted for a few moments more work before again becoming loose. The shield plastic mount was breaking down.
I regretted buying it, but l had ost the receipt so unable to return it to Bunnings.
I decided to persevere and take it in to...

I bought this for myself as my husband works away and couldn’t wait for him to do the yard work. It’s very easy to use for women but blades keep flying away when you don’t get right angle and hit concrete or ground. I still like it as it’s easy to handle for quick job.

Received as a Christmas gift, which was a fair hint seeing as the garden had started to resemble something closer to a jungle scene in an Indiana Jones movie. Charged the little Ozito up and proceeded to attack the garden with all the vigour of a machete wilding explorer, only to be left abandoned by my tiny plastic red blades which flew off constantly these don't last an hour, maybe if you rubbed them on the grass by hand, luckily these are easy to change which you better get used to because you'll be doing a heap of it.

Bought this as a combo deal from Bunnings. Trimmer and Blower.
These are perfect for small gardens .Both of them are lightweight and easy to move around. Blower is an absolute winner hands down but trimmer am struggling. The blade keeps flying off every 30-40 seconds and makes it close to impossible to work. They weren't working at the best on tough grass too that i ended up picking my old school line trimmer and getting the job done.
Secondly the bottom bit of the line trimmer is already broken so not sure whats happening. planning to get this exchanged, may be it could be that i just got the bad bunch.

I cleared weeds off the uneven bricked paths & re-opened overgrown garden paths quickly & easily.
The quick click on blades are great, the 2nd blade was still going after about an hour. No fiddly trimmer line jams etc. Just click on a blade & go.
Considering how overdue the garden was for this tidy up, the blades were put through more than normal & lasted about 30-40 minutes approx. I would say normal use would be an hour or more, work type depending.
It easily cut straight through 1cm marigold & basil stems, thick winter grass was it's onl...

After previous bad experiences with cordless appliances (Ryobi hedge trimmer that wouldn't cut soft new growth) I had avoided battery powered appliances but after my husband injured his foot and was unable to mow/trim/edge for a few months I had to embrace them again so I could manage the work. I am small and couldn't manage his heavy duty appliances. After reading reviews of the Ozito Power X Change range and the 5 year warranty I thought I would give it a go and could always take it back if it was useless. I was lucky enough to get the PX...

This small unit is amazing, pwerful, light, easy to use, economical. I know ozito is not the best quality product maker but they do good products from time to time, i believe this is one of them. 5 years replacement guarantee.

I have used this only twice, the battery lasted easy for over an hour .
If you have a small area to trim and you keep your grass tidy up, give this a go, you might be surprise.
