Worth for the money

published

I bought one with self propelled some years ago but got refunded. It was very heavy and difficult to manuvore. This time the price came down a bit but I still hesitated a while after reading the bad comments. I eventually bought one as I need the battery charger for my power tools. Aldi removed the self propelled mechanism for this model. It is still very heavy but not a problem to control it any more. Someone complained the catcher. I think he forgot to remove the mulch stopper which is not mentioned in the manual.

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.

Let down

published

Self propelled stopped working after 3 months. Way too heavy to use without it and only useful when going in straight line on flat ground. Wheels spin when on uneven ground. Catcher doesn't collect the grass very well and clogs when half full. Returned for a full refund.

Good mower.

I have never had any problems with it. Have used it dozens of times. easy to start and starts every time, unless some. I am very happy with it. Never had to recharge the battery yet, had it over a year.

Wheel fell off

published

Thought it looked easy to use with the electric start button. Very heavy to manoeuvre The wheels dig into grass. Then wheel fell off and doesn’t go back on. Took into their warranty place to get fixed but said there is no part for this. Rang the 1800 number again and after complaining they said to take back to Aldi for a refund. The design is very poor. Obviously the designers don’t read the reviews so they can change the design.

Seems well built and strong... but way too heavy

published

Purchased few days ago from Aldi for only $299, was not too difficult to put together, but the assembly instructions did have some obmissions. My biggest complaint... the mower is way too heavy at over 40Kg, and very difficult to manoeuvre. Also, I expect a lever to control the speed, this unit does not have one, it runs at one speed only - no mention in the user's manual about that.

Called service (Positec Australia), very helpful and understanding. Was able to return to my local store and received a full refund. Only issue was that the ALDI staff were not able to assist me to lift the mower (40kg) from my car.

Disappointed

published

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.

Excellent so far

published

Bought it Saturday 1st of March & used it the same day.
Everything seems good so far.
It’s fairly quiet & excellent accessories.
The electric start is great.
Haven’t used the other accessories yet.
Will give more feedback later.

What a wonderful mower.Light and easy to use.Blades too far up in cowling . Blows lots of blue smoke on start up.

published

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.

Aldi Raptor Mower

published

I purchased a Raptor mower and it's a lemon. The front of the mower continuously jams against the grass and if i raise the mower it barely cuts. Given that it comes with a 5 year warrantee has anyone returned it for a full refund given that the design is flawed and obviously not tested prior to release.

good enough for the price

published

ive used this once so far. i live in a dry area so lawn isint very thick. its a bit gutless if you do have a thicker lawn. motor would die down a fair bit if I hit a thick patch. for $150 you can't complain too much. easy enough to maneuver. and done a good finish. didn't like starting while warm but started fine when it was cold. noise is fair. would recommend if you don't have a big lawn and don't want to pay much.

Never found a mower that started so easily

published

Just purchased so long term usage I can't comment on but it immediately impressed me, unlike the previous 14 other mowers purchased in my lifetime when I could start it first time without the usual effort (and bad language). Thinking it was a fluke, I started it up a further 3 times until my wife told me I was obsessed ( and possibly senile to boot),
