Ozito 1400W Ecomow Electric Lawn Mower ELM-1400

Having been using since 2014, still going strong in 2023 – I mow roughly 150sqm of lawn between 12 and 24 times a year (Brisbane). The height adjustment lever broke about 2 years ago, so I've only been using it on the highest cutting height. Show details

Ozito – I've brought two in the last two years. They break down. The belt broke on the first one. And I think the wiring for the second one might be a problem. I can't seem to start it despite taking it apart and checking it. It runs well when it does run, but mine last a year and then nothing.  Show details

Excellent mower for small lawns – Pros: - Cuts grass as well as the old petrol mower - No maintenance required (i.e. no fuel filters to clean, spark plugs to replace, etc). Just plug it in and you're good to go. - Lighter than the old mower. The body of this mower is plastic. - Cheaper to buy than a petrol mower Cons: - Requires cord management - Not suitable for large… Read more

lawns with obstacles

This is a good mower, perfect for small lawns. It does a brilliant job on our nature strip. We mow with the cord trailing behind us and for that particular lawn we can virtually forget about the cord.

For larger, complicated lawns this mower is probably not suitable. We made the mistake of buying this mower for our large backyard filled with obstacles (clothes line, veggy patches, the odd tree) and ended up having the cord constantly get stuck around things, which turned out to be a bigger hassle than we bargained for. If you have a big lawn with various obstacles, e.g. veggy patches, I would recommend a non corded mower instead - the $300 we saved buying this over a petrol mower wasn't worth the extra hassle of endless cord frustration.

Excellent mower for the price – Bought Ozito EcoMow 1400W model as I wanted an electric mower without the hassle of petrol and oil handling and something to be quiet. Also didn’t want to be burdened by dying battery in the middle of a mowing job. This mower fulfilled all my requirements and mowed my 80sqm lawn and nature strip without any issues. With several height settings… Read more

through a single leaver makes life much easier. My lawn looks much much neater now. It’s something you must get used to is handling of the power cord and that’s something comes up with all corded power tools.

Wish it had a little larger catcher as I had to empty it few times. Other than that unit functions exactly as it’s designed to function. Handle seems too thin and feels like tends to bend a bit if mower drops in to a flowerbed over the garden edging. Also it has an overload protection automatic cut off function where if mower gets stuck at uneven area (like in our front nature strip), it stops and stays stopped for approximately 2 minutes.

Bought it for 149$.

Comes with 3 year warranty.

I’m very happy with the product functionality for the price.

Good for several years, but now failed – Upgraded from the 320mm model, this was a more powerful, wider and quicker model. While the smaller model's motor system is pretty much bullet proof, the 1400 has a belt drive and a brush-type motor. However the failure was neither of the latter, rather an unrepairable motor bearing, a sad end to a good worker, not quite as powerful as a petrol… Read more

mower of course. Disassembly revealed much grass accumulation internally, but no apparent adverse effect. Several missing chunks of plastic caused by stones, and flexing of the (plastic) body causing blade-skirt contact when mower is bumped firmly. Even so, mower functioned ok. Unlike the smaller model, catcher is a reasonable size and much easier to remove/install. The spring loaded flap was annoying so I made an arm to hold it open while emptying catcher.

The beast on the block – We have used this mower for 4 years now and we have an average sized block about 600 sq M of lawn with some high grass mows this with ease highly recommend this mower for anyone wanting a good solid mowing experience and zero maintenance compared to a petrol mower and costs less than 50 cents to mow our lawn each time, very happy with this… Read more

mower and why do we call it the beast because nothing seems to

be able to stop it it just keeps going and going.

Good for the price – Good over a small area. Plastic wheel bushings have failed. Not sure where to get help in NZ as Bunnings here doed not carry as large a stock as in OZ. Although the motor and frame is still good, it does not work well at all. Where will I get parts? Show details

Ok for the price – The mower cuts alright and is easy to maneuver, however it gets stuck and turns off quite easily. It is simple to operate and maintain. Best suited to smaller yards as it has a small capacity, it should also be noted that the cable is tiny so a long extension cable is mandatory.  Show details

Bad – Mower starts up a few times after purchasing it, but fails to start consistently after that, sent it to bunning's for repair and after that fails to start as well, just problems after problems. and the wheel is plastic as well, so wears out quickly as well. Overall thrash tbh.  Show details

Good Solid machine – It's good electrical but then you have to worry about having wire dangling around. I've accidentally ran over the wire. But that machine is good as anything. Adjustable 6 diff heights which allows you to choose your own height. Machine is very light. Only downside is the handle after a while it becomes lose!!  Show details

Good performer and easy to fix – I replaced the belt of my Ecomower 1400 recently. The motor was spinning but the blade was not indicating that the belt had slipped. The belt had stretched and there was a cut in the belt that showed it needed to be replaced. Since it was out of warranty I decided to replace the belt by myself. There are very good Youtube videos on how to… Read more

replace a belt in similar types of electric mower that are easy to follow. I ordered the belt through Bunnings and was having difficulty fitting it. I took it to Bunnings and the person at the special orders desk showed me how to adjust the distance between the motor and the blades by loosening 4 screws. Now the mower is good as new and I am happy that it is cheap to maintain with parts readily available and the product support offered from Bunnings.

Light weight efficient and quiet – For $ 149.00 I purchased this unit on recommendation from my friend in Brisbane. After several uses I do appreciate the efficiency of this unit. Easy to operate in contrast to a motor powered unit which are fine, but its light and quiet. After use cleaning is a breeze. To assemble from package it took me 10 minutes and ready to use. A 10 amp… Read more

heavy duty cord is preferable as recommended by the manufacturer. I can honestly say thank you! There are other similar units a bit more expensive but there isn't need if you have a smaller size garden.

Very handy mower – Bought this unit used, out of warranty but in very good condition. For a small level block it's ideal. Once cut, easy to keep grass under control if you don't let it become too thick. Light and easy to use, only have to empty good capacity catcher twice, now have a new compost pile. Only minor issue is teeth on the handle height adjustment don't… Read more

mesh too well, need regular tightening.

Went for it because of 1400W has a power margin over 1000W models. Generally happy with Ozito products, which is why I was OK getting a used unit.

Cheap and cheerful does the job – For such a cheap lawn mower, I was originally hesitant but with 3 years warranty and if you average it out only costs you $50/yr it was bargain. I didn't want to have a noisy heavy and smelly petrol lawn mower considering I only have about 100m2 of lawn to cut it does the job. it's not as powerful as the petrol and being tied to power point I… Read more

would only recommend this for a small yard.

I was surprised how light the machine was I could easily maneuver the machine with one hand and the other holding the cord to keep it out of cutting range. Have been using it for nearly 2 years and been good so far.

Decent for a $150 lawnmower – I was skeptical on the $149 price tag but 3 months in and this mower gives a surprisingly good cut. My lawn is approx. 3x5m and it cuts no problems. The catcher is decent sized although a pain to assemble the first time. Mower itself is lightweight and easy to clean. I took it to my parents' house as I wanted to see how it would fare cutting a 9x5… Read more

lawn and it did the job with ease. I'll be interested to see how well it holds up with the regular mowing over summer, but for now this remains a good buy!

User friendly – The mower cuts well and is easy to handle, however if the grass is a little too long it gets stuck underneath and I need to manually scoop the cuttings out. It is best suited to thin, short grass and not thick, long grass. I find it easy to maneuver and is very light weight.  Show details

Good mower for the price – After moving into a house with a small front and back yard i needed a basic lawn mower to do the job .Not wanting to spend a fortune , i turned to this mower. It was easy to put together. After first use i was surprised and happy with the outcome. Definitely recommend.  Show details

Exceeded expectations – Bought this for my husband who was reluctant to use an electric mower- after giving it a try he loves it! We have a small yard out back and front and it does the job perfectly. Sometimes the cord is an inconvenience but would prefer that than petrol or battery. Exceeded our expectations for a cheap little mower!  Show details

Not a bad unit for a small area – Now, I wouldn't want to mow a quarter acre block with this unit, but for a small yard, or small amount of grass, this does a more than adequate job. I bought this at Bunnings for less than $200, which is a bargain in anyones language. So much easier and cleaner than a petrol mower. Seriously easy to use.  Show details

functional electric lawnmower – Why would you want an electric lawnmower? Many reasons. They're lighter, quieter, less polluting, and there's less to go wrong. This ozito is a good example of a working electric mower, because it has a serious 1400w motor plugged into a power point. Do not buy underpowered battery powered lawnmowers that would be lucky to give you a haircut… Read more

before running out of juice. This plug in one is the way to go. My only complaint is why limit it to 1400w? It's a power tool, and should use the full 2400w available to it from the power point. Apart from that, it does a good job, plastic catcher is a little cheap but gets the job done. In my opinion having used this mower over the past year, it is suitable for mowing lawns of up to 500m2 in size.

Good little mower – Great cutting results gets the job done an nice a quiet so if you're an early morning person you can mow with out waking everyone up. Easy to push around as it's nice and light. Really easy to use and maintain has safety switch to stop it being turned on by mistake would definitely recommend.  Show details

Best Purchase !! – We are super happy with our Ozito Electric Lawn Mower. It is fast and easy to use. We have quite a large back yard and the fully charged batteries get through it with ease. It is a sleek design and find it cuts the lawns well without butchering them. Very happy :)  Show details

Easy to start, clippings end up back on lawn instead of catcher – Pros: Mower is really easy to start Really easy to use, pushes well Cons: Expensive batteries, battery life not great. Most of the grass clippings do not end up in the catcher. They are spat back out onto the lawn or more annoyingly onto our paved areas. I dont think I have ever emptied the catcher, thats how bad it is. Our lawn had a lot… Read more

of tall grass weeds. The mower goes straight over these pushing them down and does not cut them. I have to reverse back over to cut them. Didnt seem to have this problem with our last mower.

Light And Easy To Use – This is great to use. Its built light and extremely easy to maneuver. It will choke with long grass so you need to keep up regular lawn maintenance. It runs for about 15-20 minutes before the battery is down so you need to be quick. I do the front yard one day and the back another time. It is easy as pie to operate and I am happy with it.  Show details

Great for a small yard – This mower is a godsend, it’s light and easy to handle no struggling with pull starts and petrol just a simple push of the button and away you go. While it’s a great lawn mower it is only suitable to good conditions ( lawn that’s regularly maintained ) it’s not suitable for long grass or rough terrain but being as good as it is it makes mowing a… Read more

good lawn effortless. The battery lasts about 15 minutes just long enough to whip around ( we have about 200sqm of lawn and a 10 meter street frontage ) and it does it all with no problems.

UPDATE: 7 years on and still going strong

Very good for the price – The mower does its job. It has been with me for four years now. It is a great mower for personal use, I am not sure what it does for a professional job. Pretty cheap. The blade wears off with usage, but then considering it's price that is acceptable. It is not very easy to maneuver mainly due to the cord, so it's mostly an electric mower drawback.… Read more

Easy to operate. The rubbish collector attached to the back comes in two pieces that needs to be fixed together(part of DIY), so that doesn't stay long together. This is the only thing that should have been better definitely. Maintenance is almost none. Safe to use.

Ozito 1500w electric lawn – First time using electric lawn, i got Ozito 1500W model from Bunning $150, this is light weigth and pretty good for small area, but a bit of inconevient that you must be careful and lift up the wire, i also prefer wireless but a bit of concern about the battery life and reliabilty therefore go for wired.  Show details

Very happy with it – Just got this mower after my old petrol one died and reading reviews online. Really good for the price. 15 minutes and simple to put together. Power lead not really a problem, just change the way you mow so that the lead is always behind on the part you've already mowed. Very light weight, easy to maneuver even one handed. Cuts really good and seems to have plenty of power.  Show details

Cheap and nasty – Not happy with mower its battery operated but all plastic not worth the money $229 be good probably for a tiny patio I gotta now go purchase another lawn mower from somewhere else wanted a petrol mower parts on it can break very easily as it plastic guess I'll put it away for my grandkids when they come over lol  Show details

Great Mower for the price – For an electric mower: 1. It cuts very well. 2. It is easy to maneuver the mower however the cord is a bit of a pain and you need to be mindful of same. 3. No issues re maintenance to date but it was a bit of a pin putting the catcher together.  Show details

Ozito 1400w 190mm electric edger – The edger is more plastic then anything else. Its fragile as the plastic parts warp and twist. Bunnings sell them but don't stock replacement blades. Further, if you try to replace the blade yourself (if you do find a distributor) the lock nut is so tight, you end up stripping the nut to remove the blade.  Show details
