Complete kit with batteries and charger included
Mower with 400mm cutting width, 45L hard top grass catcher and 6-stage height adjustment
Line trimmer with telescopic shaft
Rotatable from trimming to edging
No load speed up to 8000rpm and guide wheel fitted to guard
With 2 x 20V batteries, charger, line trimmer and Mower, you’ll be all set for a perfectly manicured garden
I am considering buying it, but will post it here and read the opinions :)
cant imagine the quality will be there for 200 dollars for both…
but also think these will fly off the shelves for that price.
if i did manage to get one of these, id certainly be looking at a second set of batteries at the least.
My parents have one, not the strongest mower/trimmer but decent.
Parts are VERY hard to find for this mower, better off with something from Bunnings.
hopefully Bunnings do the ozito mower and snipper for $200 like they did back in Jan.
The Ozito Trimmer is useless with blades though. Thinking if Bunnings will drop the price of the electric mowers though to match as they usually do?
I love my blade Ozito trimmer, best edger and snipper I've ever had. Blades are super cheap to buy in bulk online.
How do you stop it snapping every couple of minutes? lol.. It's not like I'm deliberately flicking it against the wall or concrete either.
@SupeNintendoChalmers: Tells us the trick to that because i only do lawns and edges. Still flicks out no matter what. always need at least 3 blades to do 2 small lawns
@bchliu: Stick to only trimming grass and weeds.
I've owned the ozito blade trimmer for many years and never snapped a blade
@bchliu: Same thing happens to me. They snap and fly off really easily, and they're expensive (more than 50 cents per blade and I'll use between 2 (if I'm lucky) and 5 edging my 60m2 of lawn.
Although I didn't realise you could buy them online in bulk, so I may need to look into that. It's still annoying to change them but I won't care as much if they're really cheap.
@krazynayba: I've bought two packs of the bulk stuff from ebay and.. they're actually worse quality! lol. They not only snap on the blade end, but also where it clips in.. sending them flying in all directions. Almost giving up on this but I've seen some posts on OzB here about potentially turning it into a normal line trimmer with the re-cut lines. Have to figure out what head to change it to for this operation.
@bchliu: I bought the blade one for use at the old man's place, and followed the advice on OzB to tie/knot some 2mm line around the base of the broken blade….ends up using two lines in tandem (tied a simple knot), and goes through several goes of a very large property, concrete edges, no problem.
Personally, I bought the $49 Ozito powered trimmer (true 2-line trimmer with rotating head and a guide wheel) - better than my old (petrol) Ryobi Weed Wasp!
Not sure about swapping the head.
@bchliu: Same problem it flies off somewhere cannot be found again.
But it's better than ryobi because the wire gets jammed
@neonlight: Lol. I remember my old Ryobi Hornet and getting jammed too no matter how I tapped it to release more of the plastic cable. Went to the Victa ones with a single one piece line and works great (lasts much longer than blades). But kinda got sick of the petrol starter and wanted to try the battery one (Ozito) when it went on special. I'd love to change the head to use similar one to the Victa one and will be all sweet.
Any links to buy cheaper online do tell…..
Thinking if Bunnings will drop the price of the electric mowers though to match as they usually do?
last time they price matched with a wussy 18v mower instead of 36v mower
Would why the price match with something that is twice as powerful as Aldi's offering?
@bchliu: Unarguably 20V is exactly the same as 18V in this circumstance. 20V is just marketing based on the peak Voltage that only occurs right at the peak of charge. 18V is the operational Voltage.
And of course they will only price match a similar powered mower…
@NigelTufnel: For them to claim it is actually different, it would have different cells, more/less of them, and a different nominal voltage.
However each has 5 LiIon cells measuring 3.6/3.7V nominal, and 4.1/4.2V at full charge.
i.e.
5x3.6V=18V/20.5V
5x3.7V=18.5V/21V
If they tried to claim these are not the same, I'd point out they are the same cells with the same chemistry and output, and the claims on the packaging are nothing more than different claims about the same thing.
A 5 cell LiIon battery is a 5-cell LiIon battery.
@resisting the urge: Not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me. But yes, they are the same Voltage, just advertised differently.
Both 5x3.6V batteries in a series.
5x3.6=18V nominal
5x4=20V at full charge
If they were claiming to be different, yes they're be in trouble, but they're not, just advertising differently.
@NigelTufnel: I think the marketers decided to claim 20V when engineering said they could get 3.7V cells for the same price as 3.6V. Leading to a discussion about what could be claimed on the packaging.
In the end, the cell manufacturers had probably fixed a problem with the lamination machine and noticed that median performance had improved by 0.6V, so felt they could claim 3.7V instead of 3.6V.
At the end of the day, they were probably all mistaken or just lying!
Parts are VERY hard to find for this mower, better off with something from Bunnings.
they are both made by the same company :) if that is the case then ditto for the equivalent bunnings mower as well
Can you provide proof that both mowers are made by the same company?
Its well known that Xfinity Plus and Ozito PXC lines are both made by Einhell. They are different products however and batteries and skins aren't interchangeable without a third party adapter.
At least with the Ozito mower if it breaks Bunnings will swap it over for you. If the Aldi one breaks you'll be stuck with a refund and no mower.
I'm glad you told me this. I just bought the Bosch elec mower for my mum and I was glad to see there are parts for it.
how long can the batteries power the mower?
I had the upgraded brushless model (40V), which uses 2x batteries at a time. I bought x4 batteries, so that I can hotswap them.
Yeah, even then it wasn't upto task. I have a medium sized garden. The blades turn instantly, and incredibly fast… but they lose momentum upon impact. So anything medium sized weeds, and you're gonna struggle. With the x4 batteries I got a battery life of anywhere between 30min - 45min.
Ended up getting a refund after a couple tries. Either need a more expensive and well-known brand eMower. Or stick to petrol. That was my experience anyway.
thanks for info..
guess battery mowers are not gonna replace petrol mowers for long while.
Also need to take into account the batteries needs regular recharging or it will be no good
and it will need to be replaced.
Batteries will need replacement after a few years anyway.
FWIW I replaced my petrol with electric, you cant buy the cheap ones and expect them to do a great job.
Cost of batteries vs cost of fuel vs convenience….dunno to you but ill stick with electric as I can listen to headphones whilst using it for a start, and not having to faff around with petrol is great.
@Franc-T: but the batteries mowers are more weak
and how long can you mow on batteries?
what model do you own and how many batteries + Volts/amps is it?
@pinkybrain: Mines a 46cm (18") brushless with 36V 5AH battery, its not the current one mine looks a tiny bit different (I think mine is the older RLM36).
Im a corner block with only the front yard (though I have two naturestrips).
If I was buying again, I would either spend the same amount or a bit more, would definitely not spend less unless you have a tiny yard and also never let it get long.
Surprised no one posted this earlier. I had my reasons.
Plus $230 delivery!
free delivery for $6.99 prime
From the UK?
That only has a 2 year warranty, this one has 5 years.
all the best after 5 yrs mate
All the best after 2 years bro.
I would rather gamble with the Bosch.
I would rather not gamble and get the one with a 5 year warranty.
yea I'd go the Bosch anyday.
not cordless
That's not even a lawnmower
That's not cordless fyi
-not a lawnmower
-not cordless
Got a petrol mower from Aldi last year, complete piece of crap. If it wasn't a gift i could not return i would have. But hopefully this Aldi sale provokes some Bunnings deals.
I also got this, the petrol lawn mower from Aldi. What a waste. Now waiting for the council kerb collection next year
What did you get now? How is it?
why no return?
wow really? i got this in 2017 for $150 i think and it hasn't missed a beat. use it at least once per week and it starts first time every time.
Yeah, i guess that's the lucky dip with Aldi. Always different suppliers, different models, so can be difficult to know what's a bargain or sometimes just junk. The mower i got looks nothing like that one, so you're gold. :)
Yes, I got the same. Just stopped working. Wont start at all
How old? Lots of lawnmowers "die" after a couple of years, might just be the sparkplug or filter. Easy to change.
I've never tried their mowers, but had two Aldi petrol whipper snippers over the years and they've been great. First one was a 2-stroke, second one is a 4stroke and straight shaft - it's been great and so powerful, just ploughs through anything I throw at it and great not having to mix 2stroke fuel.
I managed to get one of those 80V electric mowers from the last Aldi sale. Didn't have the greatest reviews, but the specs and warranty swayed me.
Just done my first mow. I'm really impressed honestly. Got through the medium sized area with ease. Probably 2 months growth. Done a second run over the top with it collecting line trimmer deposits and runners I'd pulled up off garden beds. Used it on a hill bit too and was great. I was pretty liberal with the self-propelled function and the battery tells me its somewhere around ~50%.
Pretty happy honestly. Like I said, if it buggers up ive got 5 years to return.
Only 2.0Ahr batteries, and a single charger. This cannot have much power, or duration.
The 4Ahr batteries have gone up in price from $30 to $50.
Parts are VERY hard to find for this mower.
What parts do you need, aside from maybe blades? Do the plastic parts break easily?
everything from the throttle cable, plastic throttle knob, these things break you're outta luck.
There are Aldi FB groups devoted to people criticizing these mowers.
Wow this is pretty cheap. But these batteries appear to be different to the rest of the ALDI range?
I got one of these last time they went on sale. I am very happy with the lawn mower but the line trimmer I have some issues with, mainly in that the line always snaps (this might be user error however). It comes with 2 battery packs - the lawn mower needs both batteries in it to run. So if you want to use the lawn mower and line trimmer (which takes 1 battery) you will be switching batteries around which can be annoying.
Quick question re: line trimmer. It specifies that 1.6mm cord is to be used. Is it possible to use thicker cords (e.g. 2mm)? Will it break the trimmer?
What’s everyone’s thoughts on the $30 jigsaw? Good enough to cut some holes through 10mm mdf at the back of my cabinet for the PS5?
Seems an expensive option for the job. Do you want to make some holes for the power cord?
If you've got a drill then maybe just buy a hole saw.
This would be a better choice, you only need a 50mm hole to get 3 or 4 plugs through.
https://www.bunnings.com.au/craftright-5-piece-hole-saw-set_…
I’ve got a hole saw. It’s not just for the cables, it’s for airflow. TV cabinets don’t really need backs, I’m gonna cut 80% of it out, probably a large rounded rectangle.
Good luck with Aldi electronics stuffs
We got this combo last year. It's surprisingly good. Very light what is important for my wife who can handle this mower without issues. Of course not as powerful as gas mower but for our 3 little grass patches it's more than enough. No need in bigger batteries either. The line trimmer is a bit weak though. Not too bad and does the job but I'd like a bit more power.
Got the trimmer by itself last year (looks to be the same one). I'm not a fan. It's super tiny and almost feels like 'my first line trimmer' kind of thing. The bump feed head never seemed to work too well for me. And it just feels completely gutless, even by 18v standards. I initially got it to replace my Ryobi 18v to consolidate my battery 'ecosystem' but the Ryobi feels like an absolute beast in comparison, so I didn't end up making the switch.
All that being said, it would probably be fine if you're just dealing with a small patch of grass.
I have both the ozito and Aldi trimmers, and while not perfect, for a $69 trimmer or whatever it was the Aldi one craps on the Ozito one. The ozito blades aren't great, especially if you are trimming against concrete (which is a lot of the time let's face it) and the Aldi one uses line.
Mine isn't bump feed though, it's meant to be turned upside down and you press a metal button. did yours have a plastic bump feed head or just the metal button?
If you need a more powerful trimmer they have the dual 20V for 199 which includes brush cutter
20V Mower and Line Trimmer Kit for $199
Waiting for the 1.5V ones to be released so I can use my Eneloops…
Would be fine for a small court yard, probably wouldn't use it if you had buffalo grass and probably worth getting the 4amp battery while they have it, 2amps probably won't last long (running time)
They also have a 5-in-1 kit (brush cutter, line trimmer, pole saw, hedge trimmer, edger) on the same day. Anybody have experience with those?
How long can you use the mower on a full charge?
Not sure on time, but I've read just enough for 200sqm lawn. I'd assume it's a decently kept lawn though.
I'll stick with my Stihl petrol edger.. never lets me down
I'd go with the Ozito mower kit (currently price reduced to $199). No trimmer (but what's that really worth) but a 4ah battery. GF has one of these and quite decent for the price. But you'll need at least one or two more batteries.
Link:)? This one?
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-brushless-lawn-mow…
How long does the one full charge last though?
Yes, and not long. She has a small lawn prob only 20m2 and it does that, but for most lawns you'll need at least 2 batteries. From memory she said it lasted about 20mins.
Don't know how long the 2ah Aldi comes with would last. Wouldn't be long I'm thinking.
Ok 20 mins is with 1 battery or 2 batteries?
I have one of this with 3ah battery for a lawn of about 30m^2. For one full charge it usually has less than 1/3 battery power left when mowing is done. So I am happy with it so far. 2 things to keep in mind. 1) catcher is small 2) height adjustment is inconvenient - you need to turn it to side to do it. overall for small lawns and mowing regularly it is ok.
What’s the normal price on this?
$200 out of pocket and big pile of rubbish for the environment. But probably good for the economy.
how long is the run time on the mower?
Would recommend just going with the Ozito 18v brushless if your yard is small enough to warrant this.
Not a big fan of this size of electric mower, atleast go for the 36vs (2x18v) mowers such as the Ozito one that is deleted stock now, Ryobi or Victa.
36V minimum for battery powered garden tools - 20V won't cut it (literally).
Go Stihl if you can afford it. Their 36V system is superb.
Even if got a very small lawn?
Maybe okay but a setup like this won't last long - guaranteed you'll break something - and your grass will need to be very short
But it's a 2 x 20v i.e it has 2 batteries
Yes!
