What petrol mower to buy?

amanda99

Hi i have a victor lawn mower which has now stopped working - probably not worth getting fixed as it is about 15 to 20 years old. 

I Have tried a ryobi and doesnt work the best with the lawn as not as high as my mower.  I have it on the highest setting which i think is 70 or 75 

What mower do you suggest to replace it with

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @amanda99. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about lawn mowers.

Given your Victor mower lasted 15 to 20 years, it makes sense to look at a similar replacement. One good option would be another Victor mower, as they are reliable and designed to last. For example, the Victor 18-inch 450E Classic Cut Petrol Mower is a solid choice. It has enough power to handle lawns that aren’t cut every couple of weeks during summer, and it has a wider 18-inch deck compared to the smaller 16-inch versions. If you want something slightly stronger, you can also consider models with bigger engines or higher horsepower, depending on your lawn size and needs.

It’s a good idea to visit your local Bunnings store and see the range in person. You’ll be able to check the cutting heights and get hands-on with the mowers to see what feels right. While the Bunnings website is helpful for browsing, seeing and testing the mowers in-store gives a much better sense of what will work for your lawn. If you can also let us know the approximate size of your lawn, we can give a more tailored recommendation. Speaking with one of the store’s Power Gardening experts can also help you compare features and benefits across the full Victor range so you find the best fit for your needs.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
