❌ Only the top half of the handles fold.
(You have to unscrew the nuts to fold at the base which is highly inconvenient when you need to store or to carry in the back of a wagon)
❌ Blades set too high in skirt AND Skirt sits too low so it drags in the grass on low height settings.
(You have to set on the closest setting to get a decent cut on cooch or saltene and the skirt drags making it difficult to push)
❌ Height adjust slots poorly chosen
(Too many slots at max height - not enough at min height)

Good mower cut all grass well .but mine won’t always start even with full battery. I give it five or six try’s walk away come back in ten minutes and it starts .very frustrating. Might trade back to petrol.

Bought the mower from Bunnings. Absolutely no power compared to other battery mowers I have used. Rips up random parts of the lawn (not due to height but due to not enough power & horrible blades). Went over the same part 3 times & still didn’t get a clean cut. Do not waste your money. Worst $600 I have ever spent.

I purchased this mower from Bunnings a couple of years ago. My experience with it is, you use it on a
regular bases eg; every 2 weeks as, yes it does not like wet grass and long grass clogs the ejection hole and will need to be cleared often. The battery I received with the mower is great for the whipper and I purchased a larger battery which will last an hour. I found the mower to be a great item and am very happy with it.

Let’s lead with Victa’s customer service, which is dreadful. They have a customer service line but if you call them be prepared for rudeness and sarcasm. They’re not at all interested in helping their customers or providing solutions.

Accurate fact - does not cut grass well and leaves behind a lot of clippings. I’ve tried everything (low, high, slow, ensure lawn not wet etc) but it just doesn’t do a good job and my lawn always looks like the worst in the street despite paying for what Victa says is a premium model. Charge does not last for front and back yard. Worst mower I’ve ever owned. Wish I’d never bought it.

Get this mower if you have a tiny lawn - like the kind of property where your roofs are almost touching and you have about 2m to your back fence. It’ll do for that size and the piece of council land out front that you have to keep tidy. Anything larger and you’ll have to invest into at least 2 batteries to get any decent size lawn mowed. With a bit of luck you’ll run out of juice at the same time the second one is full again. Otherwise I can guarantee after taking 4 hours to mow your lawn because you have to wait that long for each charge you w...

The good: motor is brilliant. Powerful and quiet. Finish of mower is good as well. Wheels and ancillaries are good as we'll. The bad. Lightweight chassis easily warped i.e. the height spring as fixed causes chassis to twist slightly..better when the spring is removed. Blade height is ridiculous..high up inside chassis so either doesn't' cut anything or on lowest setting the chassis skirt scrapes on the ground/grass..have packed out the blade/ motor mount by couple of washes to get good cutting height on no 2 height setting. Also if any damp/wet...

I purchased this mower from Bunnings for $599, 2 months ago, to cut the grass on our 730 metre block at our shack. As I'm elderly, I find the weight of the mower easy enough to push through the grass. My old 35 year old 4 stroke petrol mower was getting a bit too heavy for me. The power of the 82v motor is more than sufficient to cut light grass 20cm high. My major complaint is the battery lasts only15 to 20 minutes and then takes 30 minutes to charge again.
Before I purchased the mower, I asked a female employee at Bunnings the cost of purchas...

I purchased this mower about 20 months ago. I have a medium sized lawn and rarely mow it - I have used it maybe 12 times. Originally the battery would last for the front and back lawns - now I can only get half way through the front lawn before it is dead. I would have to charge 3 times to do both lawns. The motor now struggles (almost stops) when the lawn gets a little thick. Disappointing for a 82 V mower.

Well this mower is pretty good! When cutting the grass it is very quiet. The machine is very light not heavy to move around the garden. It is easy to manauver around the corner of the garden. It is electric so no petrol smell around the garden. And it is better for the environment. I highly recommend this lawnmower

Easy to operate - pay the extra over cheaper brands!
Medium to even high grass - job done! I charge it once before use then that it.
Catcher is great - why bother with petrol and oil, waste of time!
82 volt is what you need anything under this is a toy
I use it for front and large back lawns

It was time to update the old hagity petrol lawn mower, and with Solar Panels I figured why not use the power. I hate the maintenance of petrol engines, and getting petrol all the time. I went for the Victa 82V 18" after reading reviews, and boy I am not sorry at all. It's quite, easy to push, and has the power to cut our pretty thick grass. Don't know they type of grass but it has thick runners that get into everything. Told my uncle about it, and he was in the same boat as me. He went and got one too and was also blown away by how amaz...

Bought this mower couple of weeks ago from Bunnings. Unfortunately the mower is not good enough for our dense and broad leaf buffalo grass unless you're patient enough to run numerous passes. Posted an ad already on Facebook and Gumtree to sell this: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/298476564482959

Pros
* Great solid feel and an amazing steel deck
* Quiet
* Easy to clean design
* Battery charges pretty soon and we get around 35 minutes run time
* Good fast and clean cut even if the grass is a foot tall in our backyard (sparse and thin leaf blade)

Cons...

I proffered a review on this model 883241 about two years ago (maybe longer) after I purchased it from Bunnings.

I was pleasantly surprised by it's performance overall at the time and gave it a good wrap. Unfortunately, this review is no longer evident on this site, (or at least, I can't find it) but I do recall I put Victor on notice for future comment if I subsequently discovered faults with it.

The mower has not had a great deal of use since it's purchase, but it still performs well as a grass cutting machine; no dramas with the battery...

We are very happy with our Vitca electric lawn mover. It is easy to use, quite and is better than my mums petrol mover. We find the battery lasts about 30 minutes. We charge the batteries during off peak. We have since bought a wipper snipper which included a second battery and a leaf blower without out a battery. These are also great products. We find having the two batteries is perfect.

What a treat and beats all 2 and 4 stroke petrol predecessors by a mile - quiet, simple to use, well designed and rugged, energy efficient, and provides an excellent cut to our buffalo lawn. For a back and front yard and a nature strip, plenty of energy in the battery. Complements a solar powered home magnificently as it costs me nothing to charge the battery during the day.

Lawn mower is great on absolutely dry grass but not great on grass that is the slightest bit damp. The schute through to the catcher blocks very quickly. I would probably get 10m and have to unblock then another 10m.....
The motor is certainly nowhere near as powerful as a petrol engine, so in summary, it's ok but not a star performer which is a shame for Victa.

Having moved into a house with approx: 700sqm of yard. I remembered growing up with a Victa 4 stroke mower and its great reliability. It never quit on our large 1/4 acre block with buffalo grass. I went over sticks and small rocks and it just kept on going. I wanted the same toughness and reliability. I looked around, and and read many reviews of battery powered lawn mowers of other well known brands. I started with the 18V then looked 36V mowers from well known brands but didn't think they would be able to take the large area I had. I settled...

After the theft of my trusty Enviromower (good luck finding a key to start it, creeps) it was time for an upgrade. Considered DeWalt and Masport before settling on another Victa for my small lawn area. Bunnings managed to up the price by $20 between me falling asleep at 3am with the iPad on my chest, and the trip to the warehouse later that morning.

Reasonably heavy box for one person to handle (~28kg), and the mower itself comes wrapped in a good deal of plastic. Manuals (mower & battery) reasonably brief and to the point. Lithium-ion battery...

Bought the 18 inch Victa 82V Battery Mower from Bunnings on Sunday morning after only having petrol mowers before. The mower is much lighter than our old petrol mower but heavy enough that it doesn't bounce around. The mower was easy to set up and as stated the battery charged in 30 minutes. I managed to get both the front and backyard finished and had one light still left of the charge. Our yard is an average size I guess, 800sq block with 4 bed house and pool. The back yard has thick grass which it cut well. The grass was also still slightly...
