this thing is amazing
I purchased this mower the 82v wide cut Victa at Bunnings last month. I didn't know what to expect and it's pricey, but worth it. I have a half acre block which is about half grass. I get thru it all no problem on one battery! I don't even need the second battery... it mulches well and runs beautiful. there's no oil or pull cord, no petrol and best of all it looks like a normal mower with an electric engine... because it is!
I store mine upright which is a feature Victa advertise. a petrol mower won't fit in my shed normal side down..

give this 82v wide cut Victa a 10/10 it's wide cut and makes short work of my large lawn. it's about as loud as an air-conditioning system, but it cuts like a quality petrol mower. well done victaSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Did the sums.....
Every visit to my local mower shop is $100 +. Most often they tell me the petrol 'is off'. (I don't mow regularly as I travel a bit)
Therefor - the new elec. Victa has paid for itself already! And my wife uses it! (Regularly!) like the idea of upgrading the trimmer to elec., use the same battery. Will check weight first.

Works for me.
Not had it for long, just a few weeks, but initial thoughts are - I like it!.
Have a large lawn to mow and use a John Deere for that, but have a small area which is difficult to mow with the large mower, so decided to buy a smaller mower for convenience. Pretty expensive for what it is (has steel casing, but most other components are plastic - wheels included, so going on past experiences with other modern products, it's overall lifespan probably won't be all that great. It's simply the 'throw away' mentality of manufactures these days.

Clean Cut Grass Is The Best Revenge
Don't you love it when you have a little secret about something so great, that when other people mock, snigger and ridicule, it makes the satisfaction that much more gratifying? That's what this mower does.
What do the neighbours say?
"Nah I'm not going electric - they're not powerful enough."
"Not for me, they don't feel like a real mower."
What do visitors say?
"Wow, your grass looks great."...Read more
"You've got the best grass in the street." And I chuckle quietly to myself. So the verdict on the Victa 82V: It has completely changed my mowing experience. I know it sounds silly, but it's no longer "THAT chore" that I would always try and put off for another day because of the effort involved, the change of clothes, the fumes and smelly, oily hands - not to mention the trips to the servo for fuel. Seriously, I get home from work on a weekday and think hmmm the grass looks long. I open the garage. Pull out the mower. Press one button while pulling one lever and, using the mulching process which requires no catcher or dumping loads of grass, a few minutes later I'm done - and I'm still in my work clothes. I have a regular footpath to do, the shared area between my house and the neighbour's, and a quarter of a backyard due to a pool taking up a major portion of land. I'm telling you, the whole mowing thing, is now just a thing of the past. I couldn't be more satisfied! WHY I CHOSE THIS MODEL Simple - it's built as robust as any mower I've owned though weighs a heap less due to the lack of a burdensome petrol motor. What about power you ask? More than plenty. This model has an automatic turbo mode which boosts the revs significantly and chews through my cooch in the back really easily. The front grass is a broad bladed buffalo type of thing which only requires the mower working on the low power mode. The battery is awesome - I get two full mows out of it. Or, I mow and whipper snip and still have charge for another mow (that's a great gadget too btw). Seriously, this mower has been a revelation for me. I'm inherently lazy. And this mower makes me feel as if I'm merely walking over my grass because of the drastically reduced 'effort' required to mow. I would never go back to petrol. Do yourself a favour and change your life with this mower. And as I type this, I see my neighbour getting back from the BP with his petrol I presume. I'm going for a cold one. Cheers! UPDATE: A year later, the battery has packed it in. Bunnings swapped it no worries. But if this next one suffers the same fate, I will drop my 5 star rating. The mower's still great though!Purchased in April 2021 for $500.00.

4 years, still running great!
Bought this one from Bunnings after researching online and reading online reviews. It works great, starts almost instantly even if not in use for months. Its quite powerful, and easy to use and maintain.
I do sometime wish to have purchased the bigger model with bigger blade and catcher...helps to finish the job faster with less breaks in-between. Overall happy with the purchase.

It gets the job done
Battery powered firstly, it's really light and only takes 30 ish minutes to charge so it's not a hassle to start up and use at all if your used to 2-stroke engines. The wheels have a lot of grip on them so if you need to step outside the grass for mowing rougher patches it can handle that. It's well built and can take a beating, but it's really expensive.

powerful machine
the mower is powerful, it is easy to push even for female. it is not cheap as it is more than 300dollars, but i think it is worth the money, the grass were cut nicely, shorter time, it is not smelly, a bit noisy as the others. i do recommend.

great machine
Cutting result is good, very powerful.
the good thing is this machine come with 2 batteries and quick charger. so you can use one battery as while recharge other one .
the mower feel little bit heavy.but still ok.
Machine can adjust the speed automatically according to the load.
so the total tuning time is quite good.
No maintain needed.

Could be a perfect mower.
All Cordless Mowers come with a wrong blade. The manufacturers do that on purpose. If a mower does not work too hard it will last longer, so there will be less warranty claims.The motors of these mowers are very powerful. I made an offset blade with swing back blades attached. I can mow as low as I want. The main drawback with these mowers are the batteries. Except for Greenworks all have not enough capacity.

Good mower but does not mow low enough
So just before Christmas I decided I was sick of the smell of petrol in our garage from my last mower and whipper sniper so was time to upgrade. Plus they were over 10 years old.
I never thought I would contemplate a battery mower and sniper but after I tried a friends I didn't realise how good one would be.
So after some research I decided to go with the Victa 82V. 21 inch. It came with the 2 X 2AMP batteries that had a fast 30 min charge time charger so I would never run out of charge.
I also purchased the Victa 82V blower and snip...Read more
per. All together they are a great combination. The only downfall to the mower is when you set it on the lowest setting it drags on the ground so seems a bit hard to push and does not mow as low as my old 2 stroke. Plus if you have a small yard I would advise the 18 inch version. The 21 inch is good for a big lawn but can be a bit cumbersome in small areas. So bigger may not be always better.Similar opinion?

Excellent
Just purchased this mower today. Been looking for a reasonably well priced battery mower for quite some time now. I happened to spot this in Bunnings last week. I Just missed out buying an Ego when Masters went bung. So far very happy with performance. I only have a very small lawn so battery run time is not an issue. This is the 18” version which Bunnings are selling for $499.00, 1 x 2.0a battery. The battery has 4 blue lights to show charge, I used just 1 blue light after 15 mins mowing. Very pleased with how quiet it is and quite easy to push. I used the mulching function which worked fine. It was very quick and easy to assemble, I fully charged the battery 1st, which only took 10 mins and I was away. Now to see how long it lasts.

Excellent product
The price may seem prohibitive at first and I personally sweated on the purchase for months before doing it but the mower is well worth it.
It doesn’t seem to have a lot of power, perhaps because it’s so quiet but it eats through the lawn easily. When it comes to a thicker patch the motor automatically goes into ‘turbo’ mode. I’m yet to challenge it and have gone through quite thick and long grass including the odd stick here and there. The catcher seems a bit light compared to what I’m used to in petrol models although I’ve not had an issue...Read more

Not suitable for Ausie Grass (couch or buffalow). Depth of cut insufficient at lowest position
I bought this mower (Victa 82V, Model: 1687892) after much research and reading reviews of Snapper 82v mower (on Amazon site). This mower is similar to Snapper 82v in design. I had previously bought other Victa 82v products (Grass Trimmer, Blower and Hedger) and was very happy with them.
However below are my comments:
Easy to take out of box and assemble. Tried my first cutting of my lawn, and i was totally disappointed.
My garden has Buffalo grass and with the onset of summer, shoots were coming out of the grass. Inspite of keeping the l...Read more

So Glad we took the plunge!!!
This is the V8 of lawnmowers. Super easy to use - great battery time. We have an average sized lawn and I only needed to change to the second battery right at the very end and I must say the lawn so very thick but the Victa powered through (something I did not expect). I particularly love the mulching feature - it is certainly a much better mulcher than my previous 4 stroke. So glad I took the advise of the mower specialist at my local Bunnings.

Excellent power and runtime but some issue with deck/blade design on thick lawns
I have all of the Victa 82v range bar the hedge trimmer (no hedges) and they have replaced all my petrol tools.
Good points:
Build quality. Steel deck just like a regular petrol mower and feels pretty sturdy overall. The majority of cordless mowers are flimsy plastic. The AEG 56v is the other well-build steel option. An alloy option would be good.
Power. Has slightly better performance than my old 4.5hp four stroke petrol mower. Has never cut out in long grass (the motor can turn off to protect itself under severe load). Electric moto...Read more
rs have great torque. Battery life. I run both 2 ah and 4 ah batteries and the 4 ah can do my entire yard (about 1000 square meters) with some spare charge. I use the smaller batteries when doing only part of the yard (less weight). Charging is fast anyway and mine charge 100% using solar power so zero emissions mowing. Mulching performance is excellent.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Better than a petrol mower
Finally a decent battery powered mower that can replace you petrol one. This is an impressive machine, which makes mowing the lawn almost as easy as vacuuming the floor. I got this instead of the equivalent Ego mower because it was $100 less and has the 2nd battery.
The good points:
* It comes with 2 batteries and a 30min fast charge, but I was able to finish mowing the front lawn (~25 min) with 1 battery which still had 2/4 bars of power at the end. No need to worry about the battery going flat, just have the 2nd one on charge.
* Plent...Read more

I'm happily amazed
First you need to get it home and get a very large carton out of the car. Some help would be good for this but I was on my own and managed with the aid of a trolley so it's not impossible.
Open the box and plug in the charger, slide in one of the two batteries provided and switch it on.
Now remove the grass catcher and mower, unlock the lower half of the handles and flip them up to whichever of the three positions seem good (you can always change it later). Lock the handles and attach the upper half of the handles and tighten the bolts (handl...Read more

MORE power than my old Victa 160cc 4 Stroke
This is a HEAVY lawn mower and built like a brick *** house. Very solid construction. It takes about the same effort to push than the old 4 stroke. But NO MORE PULLING the cord!! Don't believe the hype, pull start mowers NEVER start on the first pull. My Victa was 12 years old and serviced by myself every few months. I had trouble with the spark plug cap perishing, oil filter getting clogged and the whole thing just vibrated too much. This new electric mower has none of those issues! I'll never have to worry about the oil leaking in the shed ag...Read more
ain, stink of petrol and as for the bad vibrating issues, this electric mower is as smooth as butter!! There's about 0 vibration. It's weird that I don't have to idle anymore while emptying the catcher. I even mowed last week in mulching mode and it's got enough power to mulch it so fine there's no clumps or anything! No more catcher! All in all, I'm very happy with this mower and it even seems to slash down the thick stuff better than the petrol one. The 2Ah battery gets me about 40 minutes in normal grass and about 30 minutes in thick grass, so it's about the same as a tank of petrol. The mower came with 2 batteries so I charge one while mowing and just swap them over as I mow. It takes about 2.5 hours to mow my lawn and the batteries were charged or nearly charged when I came in to swap them over. They lasted all afternoon by swapping them. The damn batteries last longer than I do I'm afraid :) I need a drink break every half hour anyway.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

The most powerful Cordless Lithium Ion Lawn Mower in Australia
Old 4 stroke died and I was sick of breathing fumes, mixing petrol and pulling the damned cord many times to cold start it so I started researching cordless mowers. Looked at the EGO as one option for power and positive reviews but didn't like the plastic deck and it sounded a bit weak to be honest, same with the Stihl. Visited Prompt Mowers and they kindly assembled a demo model they had just received that day from the Victa rep. Needless to say I was impressed. The build quality is sturdy, 5 year warranty (2 on the battery), it looks awesome ...Read more
and the 1200W motor sounded grunty. Best of all it comes with two batteries which fast charge in 30 minutes ( 2000 cycles each). Bought the mower ($799), took it home and eagerly tested it on the 1/4 acre section which it mulched with ease on one battery with one to spare for whipping and blowing. So quiet, no ear protection required and did a better job than the old stinky petrol mower!!!!! Absolutely sold on this product line so I replaced my Line Trimmer with the Victa 800w model and my blower with the Victa 750W Leaf Blower (500CFM+) - Both outperform my petrol equivalents. Highly recommend this product which is based on the Greenworks Pro in the US.1 comment

Just brought a new Victa 82V, put battery in fully charged, inserted key, and pulled back of lever at top........nothing any suggestions

How do you remove the batter from the mower; and how do you remove the battery from the Charger?
1 answer
Push the white plastic flap down. The first time you do it it snaps and you think that you have broken it but you haven’t. Should be easy to slide out of mower then. It should just slide out naturally from the charger. Cheers

What great timing in needing a new lawnmower. After much research decided on a 82v Power cut Battery mower. So, there is none available anywhere. They are all sitting in isolation with possible battery problems. No one seems to know how long for. I believe this has been going on for weeks now. Not really good enough. must be losing some sales. Now I am looking at other brands. slow action seems to be apathy.
