Rubbish! Don't waste your money.
Initial thoughts ... quieter, smoother, less powerful (but adequate) compared with the 2-stroke blower it replaced.
But after just a couple of hour's previous use, it was difficult to start. Eventually ran (roughly) after checking filter, plug, fuel, oil etc. After a few minutes, it sprayed fuel over me and leaked heavily, coughed a few times and died.
More attention and attempted starts, before the starter broke (probably after a total of 30 pulls).
As the photo shows, it still looks almost new (because it is), but has suffered mult...Read more
iple failures. At about $75/hour to own this thing, I suggest looking elsewhere. Seems my experiences with this dud product are very common. Left wondering what Aldi's "stringent quality standards" refer to ... it certainly isn't the product or the customer service.Purchased in October 2021 at Tingalpa for A$149.00.

Another update. Well, it ran well for about 15 minutes, although as a vacuum, it really doesn't have the power to be efficient. Then, more coughing, becoming more frequent, until it stalled. The st... Read more
arter broke again after another few pulls, failing to engage. So, Aldi should be ashamed of themselves. It's a cheap, crappy blower and expensive land fill.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
only just lasted a year with biweekly use.
Vibration killed it prematurely with bolts even with spring washers coming loose.
The choke pull lever kept coming disengaged. requiring some regular attention after 6 months.
Great price BUT a bit of a hassle.
Purchased in June 2021 at ALDI for A$80.00.

A dozen uses and waste of time and money
I generally buy high end products (honda, husqavarna etc), but I thought I'd give a couple of Gardenline products a try.
I got a dozen starts before it broke, the pull cord would just slip every start attempt.
I opened the starter to find the plastic component in the starter assembly which engaged with the engine on start was worn out (by abrasion) due to poor design and material selection.
I couldn't find my receipt so I went to order a replacement starter mechanism using the code in the manual but completely out of stock, I wonder why...Read more
! When one eventually arrive I was shocked to find the wrong part. It seems they have multiple parts with the same part number, very bad practice. When it worked it was gutless, poir velocities, the throttle would stick, would take a long time to start (my Honda starts in 1 pull every time) taking several attempts (with choke and primed). Switching to and from blower / vac was an inconvenient process.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

value for money
My Stihl blower has given me great service for many years but was beginning to break down too often. Cost to repair on old machine l felt too much $130. Looked at new 4 stroke but for weekend garden work a little stiff and even new 2 stroke was $269 Aldi Gardenline caught my eye at only $159 4:stroke with 3 year warranty. So gave it a go. I would be happy to gave this machine 4 stars but l find it a little under power. No problems for general leaf/grass blowing but if you want anything more ??? Some have given very low review but perhapes its "horses for courses" so far so good never fails to start and keeps going. The way l look at it with a three warranty 159÷3=53 good value.

Absolute crap
As others stated, pull start broke after few uses. Was also told to drain the fuel/oil before they can accept it....luckily I had a container in the car. Very disappointed in the quality. In the future would rather stick to mower shops when buying garden equipment and stick to buying my groceries from Aldis

One Star is generous
Bought this in Sep, 1st time use the starter rope came loose then seized up while operating. Took to warranty repairer, took 3 weeks because gardenline sent wrong part. Got it back, 1st day of use, the start cord again came loose, no traction to the pawl. Took back to Aldi, got full refund. Can't recommend Aldi enough in the service offering refund no drama. When I did use it, found engine got very hot and sits closer to your body when in use. Must have been unlucky compared to some others here

Follow up ... since I could get no satisfaction from Aldi. Remember, this machine is a couple of years old, but has run for less than 2 hours.
I stripped a few things down to see if it was repairable.... Read more
1) The fuel and primer lines to the tank were leaking and the tank grommet was perished. Purchased new parts for $16 (you can get the bits for $3 ex China, but that's probably the quality it had from new) and fitted. 2) While the carby was accessible, it became obvious that one of the vacuum lines to the air filter assembly was kinked and therefore blocked. It was simply too short from factory. Replaced with a longer line to avoid the kink. 3) The starter mechanism is flimsy plastic. However, a clean, reshaping and oiling seems to have it working again ... for now. 4) The spark plug is some weird brand poorly manufactured with uneven edges on the electrodes. Replaced with an NGK. The result ... it starts first pull and runs more smoothly and to higher revs than ever. (Although, durability of everything else is still in question.) So, all problems encountered so far are due to Aldi short cuts and cost-cutting during manufacture, suggesting Aldi's claim of "stringent quality standards" may be true ... they stringently demand poor quality. Although cheap at $150, it certainly isn't value if it doesn't do the job. By the time you spend an extra $30 and a couple of hours to make it work (at least in the short term), you'd be far better off investing in a product of reputable quality.
