Works well, no problems

published

This mower has been great for us. It is easy to start, really easy to push and manoeuvre around the yard given its a pull mower! And the price was good.

Purchased in August 2021 for $279.00.

Just Perfect

published

Having bought an Aldi's Gardenline Petrol Mower last year, I can honestly say that I am completely satisfied with its performance. Our lawn is a considerable size and the mower never falters: its starts immediately, cuts beautifully and the catcher is more than adequate. Would I recommend this product. Absolutely!

Wheels are a real problem

published

I read reviews where people had complained about the wheels bending out and wondered whether they had been treating the mower a little rough. I sent my 11 year old out to have a go at mowing the nature strip with our brand new Gardenline Mower this morning. 5 minutes in he stopped because the front right wheel had bent out to the side. I was easily able to straighten it up by hand which shows how weak it is. Not expecting it to stay in place for long. Otherwise the mower seems ok.

Great value mower

published

The best mower and best catcher around. Larger than two Victa ones and empties so much easier. Great value at under $150 and now we have one at home as well as one at our holiday cottage, so no need to cart it there when we take a vacation. Bargain! Thanks Aldi!

first one was so good i bought a second one which was a bomb

published

i bought an aldi electric start mower, it was so good i bought another one when they came on sale again.
boy was that a mistake, the drive wheels were much smaller than the first, then the speed control is by the engine revs not gears as the first one was.
there are so many changes, that i think aldi lost the plot as to what a mower should be.
i bought the first one in march 2018, the second one 2 weeks ago (october 2018).
should have bought 2 at the same time, the first one is the best i ever bought, the second one is only a rough mower.
ALDI get your act together, if you have a great mower, don't mess with it.
would recomend the first one not the later model

Does a reasonable job

published

This is obviously a cheaper, mass produced mower but it still does a perfectly OK, if slightly rough job. There are one or two things that look a bit dubious in terms of long term durability. I don't think the wheels look all that strong and the whole handlebar flexes around corners but hey! Its a cheapo from Aldi and it does a reasonable job of cutting the grass,

Works well Lightly Built

published

This is going great so far. Its only lightly built and I don't expect it to last forever but it does exactly what its supposed to and does it well. Its easy to maneuver about and the catcher actually does seem to get most of the clippings. Durability 3/5 value 4/5 Happy enough with it

Pleasantly surprised

published

I know its only early days (1 month old), but I'm quite happy with it. Fuel economy is great. Great cutting and catching. Very light in weight.
I'm am a little concerned with the clip together two halves catcher and hard plastic wheels over time though.
But otherwise, I'm happy

Best mower I’ve used (including a good Honda)

published

Only had 1 issue which was it spat dirt and grass at me because the catcher’s spring wasn’t good enough. Nothing a jockey strap wouldn’t fix.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a good cheap mower.
The self-propelled saved me so much effort and the grass was very fine. Good mulch.

Waste of Money

published

Bought the gardenline push Botton start mower from Aldi special buy Saturday room the mower home asked the staff if I needed anything to go with the mower they said no get it home and you need mower oil as it’s empty. Once put together mower lasted 20min and just died would not start again. Rang after hrs care I’m still waiting for a call back 24 hrs later. So took the mower back to Aldi upper Coomera was told they can’t take mower back with petrol or oil in mower very duty manager had a bad attitude. Buyer beware on this mower.

Gardenline electric start Mower

published

The engine so far seems Okay but the body engineering design is less than amateurish with no comparison to other cheap mowers. The blades are above the level of the body guard making cutting difficult on uneven ground or tufts. The handle is too high with the result the heavy mower tends to want to lift off the ground at the rear when going uphill. The handle is also too weak allowing much flexing which just adds to the energy required to push it. This mower may work on even level ground with soft turf, but if you have hills or rough do not buy this mower. I ended up solving the issues by re-engineering at the expense of voiding any warranty.

Worst mover

published

Please stay away on any of the Gardenline product since i had a bad experienced. From the mower, edge trimmer to the blower are all poorly designed. Its cheap and its crap!!!! Mower's handle is falling off every few minutes since the method of fixing of the handle is by means of nut and screw which get loosen when you are mowing. Worst ever mower. PLEASE PLEASE stay away.

Simple to use

published

Easy to use, low cost, standard lawn mower really. The large wheels are a good feature makes it a lot easier to move around. I can mow my lawn on a full tank, I do have a big yard! Light weight to which also makes it easier on mowing the lawns.
