Self-propelled failed
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)I have a small lawn but bought this because I love petrol lawnmowers. It is a large and very heavy mower. The self-propelled failed after a few uses. I called Scheppach as they don't want to take any complaints by email. They said it was a known issue and would send you a kit to install. After installing the kit still self propeller didn't work. Scheppach only has three service centres in NSW.

Dead in an hour
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)While it started alright, the cut level kept skipping down to the lowest level due to the intense vibrations. The vibration was bad enough that the screws keeping the front of the mower on unscrewed. Only realised this when it became so loose, the entire front end snapped off. This all happened in just one hour of mowing.
Don't buy.

ALDI Ferrex 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)Good Price. However heavy to manoeuvre and also heavy to push without self propel, height lever did not go low enough and also appeared flimsy. I have a medium size yard well grassed with a slight incline in the front where I used my self propel regularly. Loved the key start with battery well charged, easy to operate with easy pull start as backup. Catcher was more than enough, even became too heavy when filled with grass. My major problem was size of machine, weight for lifting and when self propel failed became very noisy with major vibratio

Self propelled wheels
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)The drive spline inside the right wheel has worn down to a point the drive sprocket does not engage the wheel to move the mower forward the left side is perfect as you will see in the attachment

terrible mower
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)mower given to me by brother (i fix mowers as a hobby business) . inintially, i refused to take it. it was the most hideous abomination of a mower i had seen to date. IT looks ridiculous. Just pushing it, it is EXTREMELY cumbersome and unwieldy. it wasnt running, so i thought to take a look. Tedious to work on. will probably end up getting it going. Thing belongs in a museum. Or back to the void from where it began. This thing never should of seen the light of day. Absolute disgrace to manufacture and design. I have seen victa 2 stroke go for 40 years. This thing looks like it would last barely 1. DO NOT BUY!!

Ferrex Pro Mower problems
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)Purchased in September 2021. First problem was the height adjustment not holding its position due to very thin metal on position notch section. Finally had to tie the lever in place with electrical cable to stop it moving. Now the self-propelled drive is not working. Checked with local authorized repair outlets and was told at least 5 weeks delay to inspect and service. What do I do while I'm waiting for the repair ?

Terrible.
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)Spare Parts difficult. Wouldn't start. Twice returned to service rep. Machine too heavy. No advice re adjust self-propel cable, is a common complaint.
Lowest cut too high. No fuel tap. Fuel evaporates between uses.
My worst mower ever
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)I'm 67 and have owned a few mowers and this one is a absolute shocker. Bought this because I have a bad back and the electric start and being self propelled looked good. Before I start my rant this mower is (was) used to mow a medium sized well kept lawn.
The plastics used are cheap and brittle, the supposed handle on the front broke off first use and both tightening knobs on the handle shattered within the first 2 months. As already stated in other reviews the exit shoot continually clogged, so I had to continually switch the thing off to cle
Value for money...but.
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)Good value for money mower but makers were sloppy with a few basics like the height adjustment Slips out of notches when you hit a bump. Lowest notch is ridiculously low and next notch up is Slightly to high for most lawns. Self propel action needs one more speed up at least. Rather heavy to maneuver in tight spaces. Then again if you want a mower that was perfect,you would have to pay at least double price so I am overall happy with it...

Great Mower
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)It’s a beast of a mower all good so far. Tackeled my sons yard which was overgrown and large. It ate it. Love this mower. Self drive is awesome but you don’t use it always. Self clean function is also great

It is exactly what I expected and great value for money!
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)looks good
Is well made
Plenty of cutting power
Starts easy
Self propelled feature works well at a reasonable pace
Good size catcher
Hight adjustment good but if I had to suggest any improvements maybe one notch lower would be perfect
Extremely disappointing.
Ferrex Ninja 224cc Self Propelled Electric Start Petrol Lawn Mower (Aug 2022, Oct 2020, Sep 2021)First day was perfect. Easy to start, a bit slow self-propelled, neat cut. Second day, started perfectly, great job ... until it wouldn’t self-propel. Can’t be repaired. Aldi refunded without question.
