I brought it from Big W a month ago, easy to assemble, only the rope needs to be installed across the handle, not as shown in the attached drawings. It's light, not solid as the Victa lawnmowers, ok for flat, or slightly slope and short grass.
This is a small, light duty mower, hence not petrol thirsty.
Main problem is obviously the cloth catcher, all the dust blow through it, straight to right, left and rear of the mower, terrible design ! Perhaps, the engineer never tested it out or he's not a gardener himself ?

Purchased in October 2021 at Big W Retail Stores for $200.00.

Awesome Lawnmower

published

Inexpensive yet very reliable. Would recommend to anyone after a solid mower for their suburban house. I purchased this mower from 5 years ago and it's still going strong. It does not miss a beat. and always starts, I do turn off the fuel when finished using it. It's very light and easy to push around. I use the mower 2x times a months, does a great cut. would recommend for sure.

Purchased in August 2021 for $250.00.

Good

published

Although it is a Chinese brand but very easy to use
Mowing effect is good, push it will not be difficult to push.
It should be easy to use
Mowing effect is also very good, the price is good, "I was buying at a discount"
It will not be very troublesome to take care of it
In fact, big lawn mower and no big difference
worth buying

This mower is not what I expected. It is a great little machine. Have not serviced it once in over 4 years.
It powers through quite lush grass & does a neat job. Inexpensive yet very reliable. Would recommend to anyone after a solid mower for their suburban house. Love it!

7 years and still going strong. Bargain lawn mower.

published

I purchased this mower from Kmart 7 years ago, I have only cleaned out the carby once and it's still going strong. It idles slow and does not miss a beat. always starts, I do turn off the fuel when finished using it. very light weight and easy to manoeuvre, only changed the engine oil once that was last year. use the mower on average 3 times every 2 months, does a great cut. would recommend for sure. Bargain lawn mower.

Quick start quick cut

published

Starts always on the first cord pull..! Easy to manoeuvre and is lite in weight.
It seems the width of the lawnmower is slightly narrow in comparison to other makes and it feels a bit "tinny"while mowing, also you can hear the rubble underneath the mower as it catches the grass etc.(wears some ear plugs).Apart from that, it is ROBUST enough to handle a good size lawn with easy operation. Bargain at $175.00..

Starts, then stops.

published

This was inexpensive and highly recommended by someone that should've known.
It worked very well for the first summer. Thereafter, it would start on fresh fuel only, then it'd only go for 15 seconds, starting easily enough again. That's a frustrating way to mow a lawn. Despite checking float levels, fuel venting, air & fuel filter for blockage, checking valve settings, changing oil it's still a nightmare to get going. Once going, it does a good job on a typical suburban spread of grass. Anyone want it?

Very strong motor.

published

,I bought this lawnmower thinking that it was going to be a rubbish, hard to start mower but it was the opposite. It has so much guts it just makes the biggest thickest clumps looks like its just a small blade of grass. It starts easy as and never is hard to start. It runs on premium fuel and is quite efficient. I use it every weekend and I have had it for about 4 years and never had an issue.

The only thing that I dislike about it is the throttle control. Half way is full power and full power is choke. I have never needed to use the choke so to me its just crazy.

Its a great unit with strong motor. It probably would demolish a tree stump (don't try that at home)

Can't get better

published

Bought this mower very cheaply at Harvey Norman, not expecting it to last very long. However after approx 8 years use with minimal service it still cuts fine, starts on first pull and as we now bought a self propelled Sanli, went to my daughters place with a new lawn. First remarks : Starts first pull and cuts beautifully " Looks like it might go for an other 8 years !

Had my Sanli for 9 years now. Love it.

published

Our lazercut is 9 years old now and hasn't missed a beat unless it has run out of fuel or air cleaner is dirty. It cuts well, Runs well, and even easy for a woman to start. Our 8 year old grandson can start it after the first start. Our only problem with it is that the base of the catcher has cracked and broken but a fibreglass kit soon fixed that.

Questions & Answers

Richard Z.

Richard Z.asked

I was given a Sanli Lazer Cut 400 which hadn't been used for 2 to 3 years. I drained the fuel and oil but in the process, I accidentally got oil in the carburetor.
I've removed the bowl and cleaned the carburetor and spark plug with carburetor cleaner and reassembled it. It still won't start. If I spray the carburetor cleaner into the carburetor it will run for 2 to 4 seconds and then stalls. I've also checked the 92 unleaded fuel does get into the carburetor bowl. Any advice?
