lawn mower
brocken filter cover probably from the heat
brocken grass collector clips that hold it not very durable
brocken plastic holder for the collector not strong enough
its a cheap line made for profit not durability or not to last long not looking after the client looking after there pockets.

Disappointed
Easy to put together and starts easily for the price. It doesnt cut well and it's heavy to push. The catcher doesnt fill up completely and needs to be emptied regularly even though its not full. Very bad design.

What a wonderful mower.Light and easy to use.Blades too far up in cowling . Blows lots of blue smoke on start up.
I couldn't cut my lawn because the blade was to far up inside the body .
Now that's sorted . What a mower. Nice to handle, easy to start and runs smooth.

What was I thinking of!
At the beginning I used to buy quite a bit from Aldi. However, progressively I have been buying less and less because the quality of most things is simply terrible, even some lines of food.
I bought from Aldi a Ferrex Lawn Mower in around $149 on 14 Octber 2022. The Model is DM46P-DO160, and the Product Code is 10852 10/2019. Engine: 161cc and Weight: 26 Kg.
We managed to use it just 3 times on a lawn of around 150 sqm. On the fourth time we attempted to start it, it just simply refused to do it despite plenty of oil and fuel in the...Read more
machine, and despite following all the strict recommendations to start it. (Because this mower is actually very special, and thus needs very strict guidelines for starting it !!! Managed to take the spark plug out to check it, but nothing appeared unusual. I'll buy a replacement spark plug, probably tomorrow, and try to start it again with the new spark plug. By the way, every time we managed to start this mower was with great difficulty, and when it did it always threw lots of blue smoke at the beginning. For some silly reason we can't find the receipt, so probably we lost the $149. NEVER! but NEVER again I will buy anything from Aldi. How can Aldi be allowed to operate here in Australia?Purchased in October 2021 at ALDI for A$149.00.

Poor Design and quality
Less than 7 months, self propeller stopped working and support says it's not a warranty item. The service cost is $ 64, not listed in the manual as a serviceable item. Machine was only used less than 2 operating hours ! Seems to be very unreliably and not cost effective.
Machine is very heavy and hard to manoeuvre without the self propeller. Grass catcher is not strong and tend to fall when fully filled, but it's large enough. Few times electric start did not work due to flooding.
However it's cheap for the functions it has. I guess this is...Read more

Terrible
Many faults compared with Australian mowers but never seen what happened yesterday on any mower. I have been mowing 50 years.. This mower was found on the street, as the original purchaser threw it away after one use. yesterday mowing the verge, left front wheel went into a small whole near the gutter. see photo of the result.

Give this mower a miss.
So far the motor works well and the electric start makes life easy, the blades cut well, the self drive operates well. but the catcher is terrible. The catcher keeps dropping off the back of the mower even with little or no grass in the catcher. Do yourself a favour and give this mower a miss.

Broken belt Bill T
Self propelled drive belt broke as the tension spring came off. Awaiting a reply from Scheppach. Too hard to push without self propel only used twice on residential lawn. Looks like a common fault. No answer as yet probably all on Christmas holidays. Had a previous model for 8 years with no problems.

The best mower I ever had. 4 stroke self start 196 cc, what a beast, just eats the highest grass eff
I don't use the catcher, just use side exit. I looked at the other reviews, and I can't understand some of the bad reviews. Time and again Aldi products were compared with other makes and Aldi comes out on top. I only paid $199 for this beauty an equivelant one costs $200 more.

Good Value
So far so good with this mower. Extremely cheap to purchase compared to any of the usual big names. Only used it for a couple of months but starts easy every time and doesn't use a lot of fuel. Folds up easily to fit in the rear of my vehicle. Aldi constantly surprise me with their quality.

Dirty to use
I’m very disappointed with this Aldi lawn mower! More grass goes through the catcher holes than in it and even when the catcher is empty it sends stuff all over you. The catcher is also a bit small. The mower goes well however is way too dirty for my liking.
