happy customer
really very good..very happy with it..but hard to get new blades. I don't find it heavy at all quite the opposite very light for me and I am old. little bit hard to start on cold mornings usually leave it in the sun for an hour or so seems to do the trick.

21" $399 self propelled dead in warranty
Assembly was easy. Mower started 1st pull everytime until one day 2 years in it stopped & warranty repairer says catastrophic engine failure rendering it useless.
Shame really as I thought briggs & stratton engines (675 model) were pretty good as there are millions in use.
Self propel was good.
Height adjustment was always too high for my liking meaning we had to mow more often.
Throttle cable near engine required adjusting several times due to weak construction.
Still not a bad mower for the price.
Now to see what Aldi will do as a replacement or refund with the letter from repairer stating it is cactus.
Edit to add: Nice to report back that Aldi refunded the whole purchase price of $399 with no hassle.

Poor quality body, great engine
I purchased the 21inch self-propelled lawn mower in August 2016 (model number 49291) but only started using it 12 months ago. The B&S engine is great, starts first pull and has plenty of grunt but everything else on the mower is of poor quality and poorly designed. Here is the list of the design flaws:
-The chute going into the catcher blocks up with grass causing the engine to work really hard and stalling
-The handles on the self-propelled speed mechanism and height adjustment protrude too far and get caught on my fence
-The catcher was di...

It mows grass ok, but breaks well.
Looks the part out of the box, easy to put together and at this point you realise you have just bought a really cheap mower.
First few mows are great and I'm starting to think maybe this isn't that bad after all. After about 6 mows I take the wipper snipper I bought at the same time back within the 90 day no question period from Aldi (no hassles at all) it had less than an hours use. Mower still runs well at this time.
No idea when but mower starts to cut uneven ( oh well we have a 3 year warranty) and it is barely noticeable. Short time af...
Read moreter it starts to turn corners on it's own while self-propelling.... 3 year warranty.... Front wheels require a little tap an she is like good as new again. Anyway this thing mows fine for a cheap mower because that is what it is, until after about 16 months I notice the catcher is getting hard to remove. I'd only been using it for about 2 months. Previously i had mulched straight back onto previously mowed area and loved the ability to do so. A bit of self diagnosis and the handle is bent. After a gentle massage to straighten it, we last a single lap of the yard and are straight back to the same place.... try again. Half a lap more and the same result. Anyway after way to much effort for a self-propelled mower I finish the mowing give this beast its customary after workout bath and throw her in the car for a trip down to Aldi to test out this warranty. Fast forward to Aldi after driving through a lightning storm, hopping out of the car with the 4 year old son, getting drenched in the process and then gently wheeling the mower into the shop only to be informed that because it is more than 12 months old it now gets dealt with directly by the manufacturer. OK back into the rain and into the car and home, nothing can be done now on a Saturday arvo. I call the number I'm told to call and receive nothing but computer generated messages, number prompts and on hold messages, an option to leave contact details and eventually get forced to leave a message. 2 more attempts later to see if I get a different result I find myself here. Where do i go now. Will this situation improve. I have written is long winded review and still no call back. I've read a few of the other reviews and after what I've read about other peoples experiences in similar circumstances I will not be holding my breath on a favourable outcome. I don't have the time or patience to waste on a $400 mower. I'll give it a little bit more effort but after that I'll add this to my Aldi lesson. 90% of their centre Isle is absolute garbage and disappointing, (this mower being the most expensive item I have ever bought from them and I was hoping for better things) it is only that 10% of awesome items that keep you coming back. Oh well maybe next time.

Gardenline 190cc Self Propelled Mower
Purchased the mower from Aldi in August 2016 for $400.. have used it about 10 times and now the lower handles have started to split (frame is quite thin and weak). Today I contacted Gardenline directly about replacing it (considering it has a 3 year warranty). A lady answered the phone with "Hello".. i replied "Hi is this Gardeline" she says Yeah lol (good customer service so far.) I explained the scenario and what i was after. She took my details and said the part was on back order from China and should arrive in about 3 weeks. I was never asked once about date of purchase or any receipt numbers, just the model number.
Not holding my breath!! Will keep yous posted..

I have the new model
It has a briggs stratton engine, 4 stroke self propelled, large catcher have mowed my front and back lawns twice and it is the best mower I have ever used, easy to start, a very wide mower. the height adjustment easy to use, Aldi has a 6 videos teaching you how to use it. Have it set to slowest propel speed that is great for me. First time I used it my lawns were well over due for cutting and front lawn was able to cut with out emptying catcher and back lawn had to empty when 75% cut . Second time I used it was able to cut both lawn...
Read mores with out emptying. Next week will be time to use again and will empty after cutting front lawn . Also it has a hose connection for cleaning under the mower. If the previous model was not the best they have learn't 21" Self Propelled 4-Stroke Petrol Lawn Mower $399- Date Purchased

Initial Problems
Bought the self-propelled model which has a Briggs& Straton 190CC 4 stroke motor a few days ago for $399.. Started first time on the cold setting. However the throttle stick-on label was upside down. (Quality control?). Easy to fix. After a few mows it wouldnt stop. Fixed this by oiling the rocker mechanism under the top cover. Needed oiling. Now works as it should. My local mower shop wants $1200 for a similar branded product. Will post again any further developments.

Mower worked fine until I hit a rock (something that happens all the time with mowers). This bent the crank shaft and the mower is a write off. ALDI / OZITO / Briggs&Stratton will not the warranty. This mower is not fit for purpose and should withdrawn from sale.
Also it takes [details removed] numbers and 6 days just to get to talk to someone who ultimately denies warranty claims.
