Talk about value for money. !!!!! – Purchased for the advertised price of $79, that's right $79. Got it home, assembled it, fueled and oiled it, cut the grass as good as expected. Told the neighbour, she went straight off and purchased the identical machine. We've both now had the machines for three summer seasons. The fluid levels are always checked before use, it is appropriately… Read more
cleaned before being put away and with other due care and attention there has not been a single problem with the operation of the unit. I can also say the same for the neighbour's mower. I also cut a different neighbour's lawn, so my mower does double duty. I severely damaged the cutting blade on an exposed rock. A quick Ebay search quickly turned up a new blade for $30, Excellent. What is there to dislike about the product ??. I can not believe some of the published reviews -- it is obvious that lack of proper care/maintenance is the cause of many of the 'alleged' problems.
Buy it your on your own! – The lawn mower is a joke. Get a good cut if you only use less than half the mower. Secondly parts are impossible to get and aldi or the manufacturer haven’t responded to emails going back 3 months. Still waiting they never give out numbers and it’s only by email. Says bring the mower back and they will just refund. Pretty much anything you buy tools wise is just a throw away great job for trying to reduce waste. Show details
Only problem is the fuel hose. Had to replace twice now. Other than that runs perfect – Very easy to start. Catcher a little small but does the job. Nice and light to move around. Uses very little fuel. Goes alright in long grass as well. Only problem is the fuel line twice have had to replace from a split in the same spot, just under the tank Show details
Great Lawnmower – Lucky to keep it in my shed. People keep borrowing it as their lawnmowers break down. Yes I have hub caps missing because of lending which is a mistake. But it seems to just keep going. Nice wide cut and does a sharp cut every time. Great lawnmower and have had it a few years now. Show details
Good Mower – Had this mower about 3 years now and its still going good, only thing i done recently was replace the blade because it was struggling to cut, now its like brand new again. Show details
Good mower but it has a fault in the design of its throttle control mechanism – The design is such that a small metal clamp around the speed cable, is supposed to lock it into the plastic throttle cable sub assembly. Unfortunately the plastic is not strong enough and it has broken through. This prevent you from using the throttle to control the speed of the motor. I would like the THROTTLE ASSEMBLY assembly and the cable to be replaced under manufacturer's warranty. Show details
Absolute rubbish – First thing that stopped working was the on off switch followed by perished fuel line then the plastic bar that held the catcher on snapped off completely. Basically got approximately 15 uses before it was thrown out due to constantly fixing it & wasting my time. Frustrating. I know it was cheap but that is just rubbish. Got the 15yr old Victa… Read more
back out, still has the original fuel line as well doesn't miss a beat. Not the first Aldi product to let me down but definitely the last. Boycotting from now on. Cheap nasty & unreliable.
Hmmmmmm? – Have some acres bought this to mow a small .5 Hectare Orchard. It has a rigid blade, and was not particularly good with the slightest hint of dew/moisture. The "On/Off" switch failed on about the 5th use. So I have to run the fuel out to get it to stop. Then I hit a concealed rock, unlike modern convention mower with "pivoting" blades it bent the… Read more
blade managed to straighten it but my son has now done it again! Tried online to buy a new blade, everyone seems perpetually "Out of Stock". The motor runs fine and is very fuel efficient.
Nice looking little machine, was good for price – "Release date Aug 2017 Discontinuation date Aug 2017" ^^LOL...is this correct?^^Yes, one of the ones with no throttle lever, kill-switch only, runs constant at one engine speed only. anyway , I reckon it is the fuel-hose splitting that knocked most of them out. Google "help.tools", ph 1300 889028 is the number to call service/parts agent.… Read more
Product "57774" (if 141cc) or '60751" if 161cc, Gardenline/ALDI mower. (improved design) Fuel Hose @ $24 ea incl P&H. (ouch!)
Worked for 2 seasons. About 15 times – Worked fine for the first year, trouble free. Following season some parts broke off and the fuel hose developed a leak, fixed and still ran ok. By year 3 it became difficult to start, wouldnt hold a constant RPM and kept stopping randomly. Cleaned filter, plug and fresh fuel. Still temperamental. My previous mower lasted over 15 years, and it was… Read more
treated poorly. This is essentially a throwaway product, wouldnt buy another one. Lucky Aldi probably dont stock them anymore and save everyone else the problem.
Cuts great pitty about the wheels – Great mower no probs however the wheels bend and now the front right had sheeted off during a mow the frustrating thing is that for the rest of it the mower does a great job I had to cable tie the catcher and it now holds together ok . for the $150 I payed it would cost just as much to fix Show details
Great mower – This was a fantstic buy. Purchased after hubby had a recient illness and wanted something I could hopefully use myself when needed. Thus certainly delivered. Starts 1st time everytime. Cuts perfectly and super easy for even me and now our 13 yr old son has taken over the lawn duties in his chores and he even manages fine. Purchased a year ago… Read more
and still starts 1st time every time never had a problem with it would definatley recommend to anyone.
Works OK Quality Average – This mower is a cheap and cheerful Aldi special and it works fine. The quality is not the best and I don't expect it to last forever but it does a good enough job. It starts easily and is good on fuel. I am not in love with the design of the catcher or the way it attaches.This is a good solution for people who want a mower for a few years, not forever. Worth the price. Show details

Good mower – Very easy to use, the mower has a reasonable price too. Very economical in fuel too,starts in one kick.I will for sure recommend it instead of buying those Bunnings expensive mowers.It does not heat easily too.I hope ALDI sell these type of mowers often.Aldi keep it up against our others oz stores Show details
Can't fault it – Have owned this for 5 months now, and has not missed a beat. Only charged twice in 5 months, battery is removed after every use. So easy to use, propelled drive is great, perfect speed. Height Adjustments on the mower are spot on, with nice big catcher, this was our best Aldi buy yet. Show details
A good mower but a few tweaks would make it better – Brought this Aldi Gardenline 18"cut mower because of the price and 3 year warranty. There is some assembly required but no tools are needed. You DO however need to buy the engine oil as a separate item. Why they cant pack it with the mower I don't know . It only needs 350mls which could be in a soft squeeze pack so that you can get the oil… Read more
easily into the filler neck on the mower. This would be tweak no. 1.
Tweak no 2 would be to design the oill filler throat so that it pokes out the top of the plastic engine shroud on top.
The catcher has to be assembled. Not that hard to do. The handles also have to be assembled. Pretty easy step.Takes straight unleaded petrol for fuel.
I followed the easy to understand starting instructions and mower started first go and ran well until I turned it off after cutting my lawn.
The grass I used it on was a mixture of different types, and this was the first cut in spring since autumn. Clover patches were thick, damp and about 7 or 8 inches high. Mower and catcher worked well.
Tweak no 3 and the one most needed...the mower needs a handle at the rear of the catcher. There is one at the top but the plastic material that catcher is made of is very shiny and hard to grip when full and makes shaking the catcher while emptying very difficult
The mower does NOT have a throttle. I presume that It maintains revs by use of a governor. It only has an off/ on switch which is fine. But you can't quieten the engine when emptying the catcher.
I liked the top catcher flap which you can raise to see how full catcher is. Height adjustment is good and easy to do. For the price... $139 ..it is hard to beat.
Mows the lawn at a bargain price – Paid $139 for it mid Aug 2017. It works and lawn is mowed. It has a 3 year warranty - happy with that even if it only lasts for 3 years and 1 month. Unlike my washing machine that died 1 month out of warranty when I paid over $1000 for it. Bottom line it has - worked out of the box - my lawn is cut - and bargain In price and also 3 year warranty.
