catcher is crap
I have just purchased commando 675 motor is ok but my problem is the catcher only half fills up and it starts dropping grass every were and when you pull the catcher out there is always grass stuck under the mower and it goes every were im not impressed i have gone back to using my 30 year old that was still going just thought and upgrade would be better but the mowers from then are much better in my opinion

very reliable
I am 48 and had 2 lawn mowers so far,both Victa's,both 1000sq mtr blocks,The 2 strokes give a tighter,cleaner cut with torque running a lot higher,Why is it so hard to find 2 strokes now and if you do you need to mortgage the home,I would buy nothing but a VICTA.Cheer's Krusty.

Starts so easy, no dramas
This mower comes with a Honda engine, it starts first time every time. I’ve had no issues with the mower except a small issue with the handle has slightly bent from the foldaway function not being locked properly when extended. I expect this mower to run forever being a Honda engine.

Very Good Lawnmower
I am very happy overall with this model from Victa. We have a fairly large backyard that grows grass quite unevenly due to the drainage so there are quite long bits together with shorter. This just chomps through it all without worrying. It definitely has enough power to get the job done. It always starts first go and I like the mulching of the grass. My only complaint is that the chute chokes up from time to time but all mowers can do that. Its strong, reliable and works well.

Ticks all the boxes
Had a 2010 Honda that needed replacing but new Buffalo Buck models had lots of reviews on this site re constricted shute clogging with grass. Also did not want Honda bar that you have to hold down otherwise engine stops, me thinks would get annoying having to keep starting each time stop to empty catcher, new Honda also had no throttle as has an auto choke.
This Honda Powered Victa however gives you that great Honda engine and I like it that you can turn the revs down more than a briggs engine I believe. Very quiet. Also Honda engine and stee...Read more

First impressions
Bought this lawn mover from rather peculiar place - Harvey Norman online shop (didn't know they stock this kind of items) and got it pretty soon in few days. Packaged well 1 box big one I might add L86 x W48 x H54cm, all preassembeled. Nice work there. Prety stright work from the box just add oil sae30w and petrol @ least ron 95. Fill up 98 though.
First impressions: ready start works marvel from 1 pull start - yea, not noisy and mulcher works well on a shorter grass. Got some fine hay leftover and mulch that in a second 2 left it on a grass. ...Read more

Mows down the opposition
Bought this for my dad, since his old mower wouldn't start anymore. This mower does a fine job of cutting the grass and keeping the lawns neat and tidy. It's easy to push around the yard and is a sturdy machine. Sometimes my dad needs help starting it, but after that it runs smoothly and easily. Maintenance is simple too.

So far so good
Used first time yesterday. Very happy. Lawn is neat, the catcher picks up everything. Used mulcher attachment on part of lawn & looks like I didn't (no loose cuttings). Very manouverable, started easily first pull, & easy to hose down after when cool, to clean. Hope it continues this way.

I love this 2 stroke Mulching Mower
I purchased her 2nd hand but she was only used once and I got it for a steal with it's receipt from M10 where it was purchased. Really wanted a 2 stroke mower to match my Echo stuff but also a mulching mower (so hard to find those two options in one mower nowadays)
Starts first time every time, love that!!!
Cuts the grass great. Seems even to me unlike what old mate was going on about in another review of this mower.
Love the mulching option. Cuts up the grass so fine you do not know it's even there and the kids do not collect bits of grass...Read more

Not good
Purchased a 2 stroke commando early 2015 - Cut grass 'unevenly' from day one. Also left 'trail' of grass from catcher. My son's old victa does a better job. After numerous complaints and providing pics, the store eventually took it away, checked all heights, etc. changed blades and altered max revs. Was a little better but still appears to be uneven cut. Also 'spits' grass out in all directions. Very disappointing. Only bought this due to previous good experience with Victa.

victa
the victa 2 stroke I have has never let me down engine has heaps of grunt to cut through long grass, it leaves a great cut, found that engine seems to over rev when sitting stationary, and hinge assembly with the catcher door seems to vibrate loose making me have to stop mower to re-attach, but all in all very good mower for a 2 stroke, found replacement parts a little steep in price if you buy victa brand.

Waste of Money
Live on a 1/4 acre block but have to mow a certain part weekly because of the septic. After 12 months of use it started to vibrate bad. End up being a bent crankshaft and also a bent conrod. Not covered under warranty as that is wear and tear. Engine is now a vibrating smoke machine an completely useless.
Pros? Could use it for a paper weight?
GCV motor is rubbish. Air cleaner at engine with no snorkle. Fragile.

Exactly so if you want something decent that will last more than just 12 months buy something else and stay far away from this model. $600, what a joke.

Great mower for 60+ female
After procrastinating between Biggs and S., Honda, etc. Came across the Commando - And really happy that I didn't buy 'the first thing I came across'. Just spent 3 hrs cutting grass that hadn't been mown for 5 months (Cairns) and it never missed a beat. Easy to start, easy to empty, hosed it down after it had cooled and looks like brand new again! OK, so only the first use but a great experience, and I can tell we're going to be great work mates!
Later: after 15 months in storage this unit started first time. I am so pleased I spent the extra...Read more
