Victa

75 anniversary model Victa should be ashamed (made in China to a very strict budget) very bad vibration and the blade holder and blades came flying… Read more

off nearly took my leg off!!! Bunnings would not look at it and 2 dealers would not accept it for warranty ( 5 years warranty not worth the paper it was supplied with) finally new part blade holder reluctically supplied but still very bad vibration and this will PUT ME OFF Victa for life ONLY USED ON LAWN HOUSEHOLD USE

Not as good as my 21 year old Victa mower – Bought last month from local mower specialist and used several times. Previous good experience with Victa Corvette bought 21 years ago. This mower… Read more

feels heavier to push, cuts grass well ( haven't tried mulcher attachment yet), doesn't get close enough to solid objects and I managed to knock height adjust lever while manoeuvring around gardening edging. Easy to start, throttle control not as smooth as it could be. Catcher is same dimensions as previous mower.

A wide cut mower is a game-changer for large lawns. With cutting decks typically ranging from 20–22 inches, these machines cover more ground quickly,… Read more

reducing mowing time significantly. Many models feature sturdy steel construction, adjustable height settings, and self-propelled options that make handling uneven terrain easier. Gas-powered versions deliver strong performance for dense grass, while eco-friendly reel mowers provide a quiet, precise cut. Overall, wide cut mowers strike a balance between efficiency and ease of use, turning a multi-hour chore into a manageable task.

Cuts kikuyu well, Catcher silly design – I purchased my Victa 16" Razor Cut Push Mower from Bunnings a year and a half ago. I have a small patch of kikuyu grass at the front of my property… Read more

and I was not keen on dragging my big mower down a large set of stairs to mow such a small section.

The mower when adjusted works great on my flat level weed free kikuyu lawn. It cuts nicely leaving a nice flat bowling green look.

I’m not a fan of the catcher, I don’t like the two plastic clips that connect the catcher to the bar at the base of the mover. I also don’t like the the strap that connects the catcher half way up the T handle. These combined makes the catcher release a two hand job and frustrating to use. With a little thought to the design victor could have easily made a catcher that connects to mover similar to those on an electric qualcast mower.

Another shortcoming with this mower is the flimsy T handle design that twists out of shape when the mower gets bogged down. My handle is no longer central and I have learned to live with it as I haven’t bothered to bend it straight. If you have ocd this mower may not be for you. I also am not a fan of the foam handle grip. When wet it feels like I’ve got my hands wrapped around a cold and squishy dead fish.

I haven’t experienced the plastic ratchet cogs in the wheel wearing out rendering the mower to be useless like many others, but if I do come across this planed obsolescence I’ll let everyone know here and post pictures on this site.

All in all it’s a good mower for my needs, it cuts well and I have left it out in the elements for a year and a half and haven’t experienced any mechanical issues to date, just a bit of cosmetic rust appearing through the blue paint on the reel cover.

I’m giving it four stars

Much SRESS – To many problems to record, no trouble with motor though.

Custs the lawn, works great everytime, no issues so far.

Great classic lawn mower, very powerful with the 160cc two stroke engine. Being the VEX60 engine it has the most powerful Victa two stroke engine… Read more

before they were discontinued. This is definitely noticable as it feels like it’s got more grunt than my 4 stroke 190cc Mustang and doesn’t bog down unless the grass gets really thick/wet. It is a little bit louder than the 4 stroke though.

As with all Victa two strokes, the kill switch on the carby is a bit finicky and I have had trouble with it twice not turning off but you can get new rubber boots for them or bypass the switch altogether. As these are long discontinued and you’ll be buying second hand, I do recommend doing some research on maintenance. Very easy and parts are still plentiful at the time of writing

The full alloy deck is ideal as there is no corrosion and also very light and easy to manoeuvre. 19” edge to edge deck I love as it leaves very little to sometimes zero edge to whipper snip. The plastic skirts also prevent the base scratching your garden edging though the plastic does wear out if you’re constantly running against it. The height of cut can go very low pretty much until it hits dirt and the 4 blade system cuts very well

The catcher has two adjustable vents at the back which help it fill up all the way, though it is still little small for my liking.

All in all it is a great mower with plenty of grunt, ideal for medium sized lawns. I have a 700m2 block with a fair amount of lawn and feel this mower is perfect

Just a tough little mower that keeps on running! – I live out in a rural town and bought this mower to trim small patches around trees and by the house. For this specific purpose this mower has been… Read more

fantastic. Starts every time on one pull and a tank gives me quite a few hours of mowing. I had issues with the catcher but there are work arounds so that was not an issue for me.

Waste of money, flimsy deck and few replacement parts – Replacement parts are difficult to find with long waiting periods. After just 2 years we need a new deck however, Victa no longer make replacement decks for this model and there is no alternative so have to replace the whole mower.

Good mower – I got one of these, Rapid Start one, a few months ago. I did have issues with it supposedly starting fast. No prime, just put it in run position and… Read more

pull. Was told it would start easy first to second pull every time. It didn't. Took 5 to 10 pulls and even then it took a minute or so to run ok. So I checked the spark plug. The gap was wrong. It had been fitted with the gap at .30, is supposed to be .20 I set it to .20 and bingo, first pull it fired up. If you get one and like mine its not easy to start, check the spark plug gap and set it to .20 It now starts easy and runs great. The easy clean feature where you connect a hose to the chassis then run it is lame. It does not clean it properly at all. It only cleans about half of it. I dont bother using it now. I just tip it up and use a stick to scrape the collected grass underneath away. Using the hose thing is just messy and a bad idea. Whomever thought it was never thought it out properly. Sounds good but doesn't work. Otherwise, its really good fuel wise using heaps less than my old Lawnkeeper. Much more power too in long grass. Just check the Plug gap if it has starting issues.

Awesome mower – Brought this mower from Pilcher's Mitre 10 in Bowen this mower is best the oil is still clean and not black ad gummy and the little 125cc engine does the job. I really recommend this mower

The best – This mower has made me so much monny the mulching is just exalent there is no job this mower can not do better then a honda mower hands down power price can side thow and mulch wet or dry honda mowers have a limit wet over grown thay will be a pain  Show details

Good machine but poor quality – Lots of power, good starting & handles well. Unfortunately, even with lots if care & regular maintenance, the diff failed, ceased & locked up.

It was great while it lasted. I originally wanted a stihl bg86 with the vacuum attachments but saw this in bunnings and bought it because it was… Read more

cheaper than the stihl one. I know victa pretty well and have a victa lawnmower that I love and am happy with. I've had this victa blower vac for about 3-4 days and have used it to blow the leaves off my patio and porch and have sucked all the leaves up with the vacuum attachment and bag. It is very powerful and I was very happy with it thinking it was the next best thing to a stihl bg86 but today it didn't want to start. I know a fair bit about fixing engines so I did everything I thought would work. Tried unflooding it thinking that was the problem. Drained fuel and put new fuel, did screw all. pulled spark plug and found there was no spark. put plug in a chainsaw that works and it sparked no worries. The ignition coil shat the bed I think. Taking it back to bunnings and getting my money back then I'm gonna go straight to the stihl shop and get me bg86.

I'm spewing that it died in the butt because it went really well but at least I'm off to buy me something that is good quality and will last me a long time. I wouldnt bother buying one of these victa blower vacs but you may get one that has no issues. Usually problems like this happen due to poor maintenance but its a different kettle of fish when it happens not long after buying. unfortunately it comes down to design and these obviously aren't very well designed.

Best chainsaw ever – unbelievable that a battery powered chainsaw has so much power. dont have to muck around with mixing fuel, i have 2 batteries and i can fill my gator… Read more

tray full of wood. Ive cut 16" cuts. Its light weight and i can cut high limbs one handed. I have 3 other chainsaws that now just sit in the shed. 5 STARS

Steer clear of this mower - unless you only cut 10mm each run – Bought as the Bunnings guy said OK for our small couch grass. Old victa never had an issue even when grass a bit long after holiday. This 600W 18V… Read more

mower just will not cut more than 10mm at a time. Just bogs down. Tried contacting Victa but their site prevents any message sending after filling in form - try again later every time. Tried calling - on hold ... DON"T waste your money on a Victa battery mower. Never had anything but Victas but this is last one. Do not buy mower based on area to be mowed - you can get another battery to mower more area. You need POWER to cut. This thing has inadequate power.

Rubbish. Worked for a few weeks the battery would no longer charge. Tried to return to Bunnings however Victa has certified repair shops. They sent… Read more

away to be looked at, 3 weeks later got an email saying it was ready to be picked up, ended up needing a new battery. The guy at repair shop said he would see me soon as the batteries do not last and id be lucky to get a few months out of it. (Victa as a brand has always been fantastic. Branching out into batteries they are not there yet). I do not reccomend

Light and powerful – Very lightweight and powerful battery backpack blower. Very compact. Get about 15mins on full (without using turbo) on a 2AH battery. This blower… Read more

seems to produce a bit more power when using the 4ah battery when compared to the 2ah battery. Power is similar to the Ego 56V backpack blower (but not as powerful as AEG's 58V backpack blower), but the Victa is more efficient in using the battery for better runtimes. On full power (without using turbo), the Victa will probably give the same runtime on a 4Ah (288wh) battery as the Ego with a 7.5ah (420wh) battery. The only downside with the Victa is that the position of the air intake. I often find my loose shirts being pulled causing the intake air flow being restricted. Also, I did notice at times, the motor makes a cluck noise and stops for a few moments. Apart from these, this is an awesome blower. Whether, it is durable or not, only time will tell.

This is more powerful than a Honda 4 stroke blower!!!! – After using the Victa 82v blower for a year I needed to upgrade the 82v mower because it can't cut Kikuyu or Buffalo short. I decided to buy the… Read more

Honda HHB25 and what a mistake!!! This Victa is double in power than a Honda!!

Returned the Honda and now going to buy a sthil as they do make the best equipment.

Excellent performance, well balanced, ultimately discontinued line – Powerful, made short work of pruning branches safely around my acreage garden. Agreed, wife found it too heavy. I had an Ozito pole saw which flexed - not this Victa - cuts through even 5cm hardwoods like butter when well -maintained.
