A corded electric lawn mower in Australia costs roughly A$130 to A$240, a cordless battery model roughly A$240 to A$850, and a petrol push mower roughly A$260 to A$470, according to sellers' websites in October 2026. Prices depend on the power source and the cutting width. For a price for your lawn, describe the plot and the mower you want on BlaBlaPrice and compare offers.

Warranties and consumer rights

Warranties differ by brand. One brand gives 5 years or 250 hours on the complete mower apart from the battery, and 2 years or 250 hours on the battery. Another gives 12 months for private household use from the date of purchase. One contractor range lists 5 years on parts and gearbox and 3 years on the engine. Australian consumer law sets guarantees that apply on top of the maker's warranty, and it says you might still be entitled to a refund after a warranty has expired, so keep the receipt.

Season and when to buy

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so mowing peaks in spring and summer. October is the start of the busy season, which makes it a good time to buy, before the grass grows fastest in the warm months. A cheap basic model is available: a 30 cm push mower is listed from about A$95.

How mowers are quoted and delivered

Listings give specifications in metric units: cutting width in centimetres or millimetres, petrol engines in cubic centimetres (cc), and batteries in volts (V) and amp-hours (Ah). Some listings are "skin" only, which means the mower without battery or charger, so check that the price includes what you need. Confirm delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide with each seller. Larger petrol and all-wheel-drive models cost more, and one all-wheel-drive model is listed at about A$1,129.

What to write in your request

Give the plot area in square metres, the power type (petrol, corded or battery), and the cutting width you need. Add any features you want, such as self-propelled drive, and the make and model if you have one. Say whether you want a new or used mower, your delivery city and your budget. A seller can recommend the right cutting width once they know the size of your lawn.
