It works OK on smooth terain with no hiden rocks etc in the grass. If you had a small unit with a well mown lawn this would be a useful tool. As soon as you hit anything like a hidden redgum sleeper it bends the blades in an instant :-(
I have a 58v ferrex pro mower and have used it a handful of times now the batteries won't charge and you can't get replacements. Considering what it cost I expect it to go for way longer than what it did - really poor form ALDI Show details

A fantastic Audi battery mower – This is one of the best battery mowers I've ever had. it still going to day and it's done a lot of work. still has the original battery and still keeps charging. if the mower was available today I would buy a again as my mower must be getting tired. I do my lawn and my Neighbours lawns to help out as they are little older to be doing this sort of thing. but what a mower fantasy. Show details
Where are my replacement parts sold? – It mulches well. It collects grass well and it also comes with a side Shute. However the after market parts are non existent. Therefore aldi should be banned from selling these products without such warnings. I took forever to find a spare battery to buy, luckily since now I can't find them anywhere now. I also need a replacement blade that I… Read more
can't find. 80v 2 amp hours is good but more amp hours will be better but you can't but that either. On a good note it's made me love electric mowers, I will never buy another petrol or aldi electric mower again.
Full charge can cut a medium lawn. Poor design of grass catcher – The air grill of the grass catcher have no filter. it design the air grill(no filter) to blow the dust and grass to your face, not good for people with Hay fever or allergy. I never have any problem with moving my lawn before, but after using this one my hand got skin rash. Get refund next day. Show details
My third electric mower – A ride-on needs maintenance like a car and isn't suitable for quick trims around the tight spots, so we bought an Aldi push mower, then replaced that with an Aldi petrol line trimmer. All petrol tools are noisy and oily and our Gardenline manual mower locks up on tough grass, too much effort, so we bought our first electric line trimmer from cash… Read more · 2
converters and followed that with Aldi Gardenline corded electric. These tools are OK to use but cutting wet grass while dragging a 240 Volt AC extension cord felt awkward and sometimes dangerous. Aldi XFINITY plus battery powered tools seemed to be well priced and specifications similar to other brands. We bought the $200 electric mower with line trimmer. It includes one battery charger and 2x20volt 2.0Ah batteries. The 2 batteries are used at the same time in the mower which means it will take over 2 hours to recharge both, the line trimmer uses one battery. It rained for a few days, then we used the mower and realised the system is unworkable with only 2 batteries and one charger. We went to Aldi to buy a couple of extra batteries and an extra charger, but one week later Aldi was sold out. Aldi didn't restock with batteries or chargers, so we had to look elsewhere. Autobarn were selling a compatible charger, so we bought it. Now we had two chargers and two batteries. Now we can Mow the public nature strip then put both batteries on charge. Then an hour later we do another mow. Mowing is 15 mins and charging is 60 mins, so there is a bit of waiting involved.
The battery electric mower is very good, but to make it great there is a requirement have two chargers and multiple pairs of batteries.
More recently we purchased two additional 20volt 4.0Ah batteries. We also replaced a charger that blew it's flashing LED. We also bought a Ferrex drill which included a battery and charger after being surprised to find the Aldi reciprocating saw we had purchased didn't have a battery or charger.
Today, one of the battery chargers developed a faulty LED. So two of our battery chargers have had this problem.
Our total investment on Aldi Gardenline XFINITY tools is over $600 and we don't have enough batteries.

Surprised – Used in very sandy soil and soon the upturn of the blade was worn. Removed blade and welded the holes in the upturn part and built up the cutting edge and resharpened. Did this regularly to keep a good cut and extract the cuttings to the catcher. November of 2024 noticed the mower was making a straining noise and smelt hot. Pulled the covers off… Read more
and removed the noisy bearings. Using the mower for extended periods of time the small amount of grease in the bearings had dried up. All the bearing housings are plastic and one housing had melted slightly out of shape. Made a shim to pack around the bearing and packed all the bearings with new grease plus a high pressure lubricant additive. I expect I could get another 4 years use out of this mower before repacking the bearings again. I had low expectations when I bought the mower and used it carefully. I am surprised that it has lasted this long. It is a cheaply built plastic mower and the safety switch arrangement is annoying to use but if used with care it has given me good value for my money.
Jan 2026 My repairs did not last as long as I expected. The plastic bearing housing was unable to keep the proper alignment and started making noises again. Still for the price it has been good value for me as it has done a lot of work.
More Rubbish For The Tip From Aldi – Less than 18 months in and battery no longer lasts the distance. Now only does half of what it use to before conking put. Even though both batteries state 82% when putting on to re-charge. I stopped buying Aldi electrical items and big ticket items years ago, but when I needed a new lawn mower, thought I'd give them ago. Never again. A lawn mower… Read more
at $299 is not cheap if it only lasts 18 months. There is 5 years warranty on lawn mower, but only 1 year on batteries. What good is a cordless electric lawnmower without batteries? And what good is a 1 year warranty on batteries when they no longer work properly after 18 months?
Another crap electrical product from Aldi. It's not cheap when it ends up in rubbish heap with a short life. My Victa cordless electric lasted 22 years. Then went on to do more after someone bought it and repaired. Aldi are contributing to the climate crisis with their cheap and nasty manufacturing which costs to produce, then with short life emds up as rubbish to dispose.
Aldi manufacture rubbish when it comes to electrics. DO NOT PURCHASE ELECTRICAL ITEMS OR BIG TICKET ITEMS FROM ALDI.
Love this mower so much I purchased one for my son as well – Bought this after being tired of buying fuel for my old petrol mower, not expecting much but boy was I surprised. Aldi Gardenline battery operated mowers must have a cult following as when arriving at the store just before opening there was a queue and everybody was after the mower ! I was lucky enough to purchase one and I also purchased 2… Read more
x 40w batteries even though it came with 2 x 20w the 40w batteries last longer and with an average size lawn the 40w work a treat with battery power to spare. The blades cut through the lawn with ease, if the lawn is a bit dewy the clippings sometimes get caught between the blade and the catcher. There are 5 different cutting levels and the mower is really light and easy to handle and manoeuvre even on a sloped terrain. Love the push button feature and it starts, no more pulling cords on a petrol mower. The catcher is a fairy good size but will need emptying a few times during a mow if you have an average size lawn. The mower also came with a edger and blower, the edger is not very good for people taller than 5' 5" but the blower is fine. I was so impressed, when they went on sale 12 months later I lined up again 1 hour before store opening so I could buy the same mower for my son, and he loves it also. No more going to the buy fuel for the old petrol mower. Yes this mower definately has a following and at the $199 price it is much more affordable than the cheapest brand at Bunnings. Grab yourself the 40w batteries also, as they fit other Gardenline appliances from Aldi.

To be fair I bought the 2x20v battery lawnmower approx 2yrs ago second hand, butit was about 1year old with minimal use. It goes without any problems, unless I forgot to change the batteries up before hand. It has a solid plastic catcher for the clippings. I have a reasonable sized lawn, and I can cut the entire lawn without the need to recharge the batteries. I'm just wishing there was a twin battery charger. Show details
Requiring battery cradle – Hi, I have misplaced my cradle that takes the battery for my aldi gardenline infinity electric lawnmower.If anyone has one happy to purchase it and pay for postage. I am on the gold coast, Please text me on my mobile no 0404700365 to finalise this matter, Many thanks , Steve
It Is What It Is – It gets 5 stars because, if you have a small courtyard sized lawn, this would be the cheapest, quietest option. I have a theory that when you try to run it with bare ground under it, it won't run. But as soon as there is grass under it, off it goes. I have experienced some of the problems mentioned, however, when I put it on a patch of grass and try to run it, it goes. Show details

Very good while the battery is charged. I get about 15/20 minutes run time and it takes 12 hours to charge. To buy a replacement battery to keep as a second costs over $100 dollars. For an 80v mower I expected much much better. I can't recommend. Show details
Cheap plastic, handles broke off - got another one second hand so we could still use the batteries. Handles broke off that too. The warranty isn't worth the paper its written on as the supplier doesn't honour it. Don't make the mistake of thinking its a bargain. Show details
Bad experience – Won't start up even after checking that the batteries are fully charged up and the safety contact switch are all okay. I bought 2 of these mowers and they both failed Show details

I have never had an issue with it. I can do both my front and back lawn on a single charge.(150 SQ MTRS). Bought ii late 2019. Need to buy a new blade but otherwise very happy with the product. Show details
Battery mowers are the way to go – Purchased this product over 5 years ago Still going strong on the original batteries and charger. I would recommend this product. I have never had a problem with Aldi battery products. Show reply
Never buy an Aldi electric mower – Mower was used on a small patch of lawn for a couple of seasons then the main shaft that the blades are attached to SNAPPED! Luckily the blades didn't fly out & cut me. Now I find I can't get replacement parts for it. Useless - whole mower rendered rubbish because of one part. How are your green credentials Aldi. Should have known better anyway as it's made in China. Show details
not repairable – wont keep running tried service centre does not helpjust no after sale sevice have to jump through hoops and still cant get it working bought in 2021 now ready for rubbish heap wasted money was good when working Show details
Good mower but no replacement battery available – My late husband purchased this electric mower from Aldi and it has been easy to use, catcher is good size, struggles with wet grass, but apparently all electric lawn mowers do. But, and this is a big but, cannot find replacement batteries. This is not responsible dealing on Aldi's part.
A very good mower for the price – Cost $99 from Aldi 3 years ago and I'm still using it. That's only $33 a year. If it stops now, I've done ok. Check your lawn for obstacles before use; don't blame the mower. Show details

May or may not be for you – This is for the Ferrex 2x58V FBLM-1000 E1 Not so good points: 1. It's big and cumbersome to assemble. I have to collapse the push bar every time I use it. It is fiddly, the joints are primitive. 2. Having two batteries and only one charger obviously doubles the charging time. Better not run out of battery. 3. The battery cover is hard to close and… Read more
actually engaging the safety switch. 4. The self-driving mode is either on or off. It should have variable speed. It shoots off when engaging the clutch. 5. Wheels easily lose traction (slippery plastic material). Good points: 1. The battery capacity and catcher size covers my 200 sqm lawn easily. 2. It works fine as a mower. 3. The mulching function is very handy to have. 4. Safety features are adequate. 5. Self-driving is handy (my lawn is on a slope). 6. Price is competitive for a self-driving mower. Would I buy it again? No. Assembling it is a pain and I don't think it will last very long. If you don't have to collapse the handle bar every time you store it away and the price is right for you it may be OK.
Aldi Ferrex Pro Mower is a reasonable battery mower for a fair price – I bought this Aldi Ferrex Pro Mower last February 22 and use it at least once a week to fortnight on about 142m². The batteries (2 x 56V-2.5Ah) are still good. It has a power drive feature which is good if you are going up hill. The 51cm deck is big. The Steel Deck is starting to corrode underneath and needs repainting so keep it clean. This is… Read more
no doubt through cutting damp grass and not cleaning it underneath every time. It's not a premium mower but it works well. I would prefer a cast aluminium deck and not worry about corrosion. Batteries are never let go flat and never stored fully charged. I'll keep them between 50% and 75% while not in use. That's 2 or 3 lights of the 4 charge indicator lights. Something that annoys me is there is about 100mm at the front that does not cut. Also at low cutting heights (30-40mm), the rod that lifts the opposite wheel digs in the ground leaving a furrow. Poor design but well made. :). Just a tip. Put a bit of lubricant on the latch that holds the plastic cover down and operates an interlocking switch. It is quite hard to get it to latch and found the lubricant made it much easier (I used silicon spray from a reject shop for ~ $3).
OK for first 12 months……..then – Bought this mower some 2 years ago and whilst it was reasonable to start with following expiry of the warranty it went downhill. Not used too much and on a lawn of approximately 100sm. Bought extra batteries to provide longer use option. Now it won’t cut through the grass on height setting 4 - second highest - without bogging down or stopping.… Read more
Batteries are lucky to last 30 minutes. Has destroyed my incidence in battery powered mowers and my consideration to purchase another.
CAN'T FIND A REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR FERREX 80V MOWER – A normal, flat back yard, a 3-4yo mower, managed to buy an extra battery a year ago but can't find one now Also had to purchase a fan belt and replace the v-belt pulley on the motor shaft. Nothing but problems with this machine and now can't use it at all because we can't find a battery worldwide! Show details
Can't buy parts anywhere and Aldi don't want to know about it.
Mower and Battery performs well though when the grass is a bit wet it stalls. Life cycle enhancement needs 2x4Ah Battery – The fact of the performance still fulfilling it's intended results is acceptable. But ALDI must look at providing an additional higher rated battery and/or charger as part of it's due diligence and service level interest. Right at the start when I purchased the unit I was interested in a spare battery and I hit a brick wall. Now that I have the… Read more
same problem and see that the product is discontinued is not an acceptable financial resolution and I will be hoping that ALDI helps me in sourcing a new additional higher Ah rated battery and charger unit as this will help environmentally in not having to dispose off the whole performing asset and also enhance the asset life cycle.
Brushless motor works well but chute design is poor compared to earlier Aldi mower – The mower is easy to manoeurve and operate and I use 2 4AH batteries and have a spare set on charge. It is light enough that my wife enjoys mowing with it, but the grass has to be fairly low. I have an earlier Aldi mower and it can mow through higher grass as the chute is better designed and doesnt clog up. This later model the grass clogs up and needs to be cleared often if the grass is thick. Show details
Great mower but unfortunately can't get extra batteries – I have purchased one of Aldi's self propelled mowers recently It is a great mower and I don't use the drive function to help me get a bit more exercise My only issue with the mower is that there seems to be no availability of spare batteries for the product In other words when the batteries die the mower will be useless to me For this reason I would not recommend this mower Show details
light easy to use reasonable battery life light weight catcher fills quickly – I have found the blade is waring very fast am trying to find a replacement I live in a dry sandy environment think this is responsible for blade wear I only keep a small lawn area due to water shortages I found the cordless mower to be a real time-saver no fuel, no fuel mixing, no noise, no stupid pull starts this thing has its limitations sure… Read more
but cuts grass could do with a little more power as it will cut out in heavy going but it's not designed to slash a paddock
Ferrex (ALDI) 2x20v cordless mower – Love this mower so much that I went back and bought one for my daughter. Firstly this is a lawnmower not a grass mower, don't let the grass get very long. I am on an acreage and bought it to do close to my house and around sheds etc. Works fine, 30+mts. run time, no fumes, no servicing, little noise. Only issue is the cutting width, but for my work it isn't much of an issue. After early misgivings my daughter loves it too.. Show details
Never again – Batteries do not last even on a small lawn. Doesn’t cope with average length lawn. Battery charger died at 15 months; just out of warranty. Typical Avoid at all costs. Very dissatisfied. Show details
Does not start – Used only once per month on a tiny lawn over last 18 months, and now refuses to go. I'm left with a hunk of plastic and metal - so much for trying to go 'green'. Show details
