Having shredded the cable on my Bosch 32-12 (£79) and with B&Q being out of stock on their cheapest mower (MacAllister £56) I decided to go for the offer at Homebase on the cordless Ozito (£99).
Put the battery to charge when I got home. About an hour later Indecided to put it together.
The grass collector is infuriating. 15-20mins I reckon it took.
The mower itself took a couple of minutes to attach the handles, set the height and plug in the battery.
It’s much lighter than my corded Bosch.
Lawn done in what felt like half the time with half the faff.
Dragged it into an overgrown corner that wouldve been a hassle with cables too.
Early days obviously, but I’m very pleased with it.
8/10

The battery lasts just long enough to mow my lawn and the woodland corner.
I charge it overnight, so I don’t know how long it takes. And it’s usually empty of charge when Inplug it in.
I didn’t get a second battery, although I did consider it. Replacements are £55
They sell a larger version as well. Mine lasts just long enough to do my lawn which is three fence panels wide, six fence panels deep or just under 160m2 as below:
For me, a light mower I can quickly run over the lawn twice a week it’s fine. Surprising how quick it is without dealing with cables.
For someone a bit more serious about their grass, and lawn quality, I doubt they’d be satisfied.
Plus I just bought the hedge trimmer skin on sale, so now I’ve got a cordless trimmer for only £27.
Have had no issues and it does the job. Only slight gripe is that the attachment for the grass collector seems a little flimsy, but it still collects the clippings so no real bother.
