Hopeless mower
I have only bought and used this mower not over three months.
It worked fine for the two times I used it but the self propelling system is very weak.
The third time I tried to use it with a fully charge battery, it refused to start no matter how many times I re-install the battery.
Every is solid and well made including the battery and charger but there seems to be a recurring fault with the starter system as I have already bought this mower twice and the first one would not even start with a fully charged battery.
Compared with lesser specifie...

Battery Replacement Prohibitively Expensive
We bought our Aldi Mower August 2022 and have been delighted with it up until now (October 2020).
The battery is dying and won't charge until it has cooled down. Or hold its charge for long.
It has 1 year warranty.
After Sales Support is by another agent called Positec Group.
There is no contact with Aldi, only impartial, unconnected agents.
On my third call in 3 days, I received a call back when I asked for battery prices.
$199 ea and $11 delivery.
As the battery only lasted 13 months
and is over half the cost of the mower,
I will be buying another mower elsewhere. ...

Very Disappointing: everything was great except the woeful battery. Don't buy!
I bought this two weeks ago after it went on sale at my local Aldi, the last one available and I was estatic I actually managed to find one.
It has a massive cutting width and catcher (51cm and 50L respectively - much better than most brand name competitors, and even those that can match are far more expensive eg the AEG at bunnings which is basically $700-$800. Both these larger aspects mean less work mowing and less emptying the catcher. So full marks there. (Though the catcher I found never seemed to fill up as the inlet from the machine w...
Read moreas much too narrow and not the best release mechanism, meaning a lot never came through to the catcher, which in turn mean quite a bit was spread over my lawn by default - so a bid shoddy there). It also was supposedly 'self-propelled' (though in reality didn't see any of that working as being a steel deck it is far heavier than most other battery mowers - I recall it weighing almost 50kg). But didn't really care for that as was happy to push. I just thought that with the large cutting width and large catcher it was easy, 'no-stinky odour-petrol mower-days'. Unfortunately though, after trying to mow my yard (350sqm) twice with it (ie still give it a go after the first failure) it still failed abysmally....the battery I found only lasted half hour, if that, meaning I could only cut a third my yard each time before I had to recharge (about 45 mins and boy does that charger hum with sound! So overall Not happy Jane. I took it back to Aldi two weeks after purchase who, true to form, refunded me in full, no questions asked. Kudos to them. I have to say I was beforehand warned by a family member not to buy it, because of the bad wrap/reputation generally battery and electrical mowers have against petrol ones, but also especially because of the low amps: a single 2.0Ah battery is shocking for a decent sized yard, which is what this mower had to power it. Don't think just because it says 80v that is somewhat more powerful than say a 36v working off a 4 or 5 ah battery. It's not. It's all about the ah - "amps" - the defining factor it seems in any battery mower. So take note - for the $400 it costs (not cheap for Aldi mower standards), sorry but it it is not worth it, too expensive, and a real flop battery-wise.Purchased in at ALDI for $399.

I loved it while it worked, back in the drought when the grass wasn't growing much, then it broke.
Appalling customer service from the Positec (Australian rep) and from Edgeworth Mowers (the repair agent).
Should have saved my time and taken it straight back for a refund
