Bunnings price-matching/beating ALDI Garden Tools.

ALDI's Ferrex and Bunning's Ozito PXC Equivalent:

Tool ALDI Bunnings Matched?
Pruning Shears $79.99 $79 ✔️
Lawn Mower $249 $248 ✔️* 1
Blower $59.99 $77.50 ❌
Air Inflator $39.99 $34.98 ✔️
Air Pump $39.99 $34.98 ✔️
2-in-1 Pole Pruner and Hedger $99.99 Pruner $198/Hedger $199 ❌
2-in-1 Line Trimmer and Brush Cutter $129 N/A ❌
2.0Ah Battery Kit $24.99 $24 (No Charger) ✔️

8.0Ah Battery $99.99 $179 ❌
Dual Charger $49.99 $48 ✔️
Fast Charger $24.99 $39.98 ❌

Bunnings rarely match their Ozito PXC batteries/chargers.

  1. The Ozito Lawn Mower that has been matched is not the exact equivalent (Brushed Motor, 2x3.0Ah Batteries, 335mm Cutting Diameter). The equivalent should have been this model which is still $399. ↩

    Is it brushless mower better?

      Yes.

    • Dr Phil on 20/02/2025 - 09:12

      Huge problem with Aldi (Ferrex) products is there is usually no after-sale service or parts available.

      (Try getting a blade or a battery for one somewhere - nobody sells them)

      Once the Aldi mowers are all sold you never see them again.

      At least with Bunnings and Ozito you do have after sale service and parts available.
      And these ozito 2 x 18v (36v) mowers are very good indeed

      Ive had one for years and still going strong.
      The batteries last for ages

      Check out the reviews for the Ozito - they are very good
      However reviews (Productreview) for the Ferrex mower suggest what I have said.
      The batteries fail very quickly and you cant buy replacements anywhere!

      Battery performance comparison:
      Charge time: Ozito 1hr 20min / Ferrex 3 hrs
      Run time: Ozito approx 1hr 20mins / Ferrex 40mins
      Number of chargers supplied: Ozito 2 / Ferrex 1

      I rest my case!

      PS Im fairly sure the Ozito is brushless as well

      • BargainMe on 20/02/2025 - 09:52

        This is why I bought Ozito over Ferrex, being able to buy parts all year round is important

      • c64 on 20/02/2025 - 10:29

        the ozito mower has a brushed motor and comes with 3.0Ah batteries. the aldi mower has a brushless motor and 4.0Ah batteries. given the same price, the aldi one seems like a better choice to me.

        i'm still using aldi batteries from 2018

      • DashCam AKA Rolts on 20/02/2025 - 13:29

        PS I'm fairly sure the Ozito is brushless as well

        The listed Ozito is not brushless. The more expensive model PXBTMS-3638 Kit is bushless, comes with 4aH batteries, but is $399

    • homebrandjesus on 20/02/2025 - 11:40

      I own the Ferrex and have used the Ozito. In short - they are both good options for a small to medium sized lawn and both great value at $250. I’d be happy with either, but would pick the Ferrex again if given the choice.

      A few thoughts:

      • Power: no discernible difference, both cut well even if the grass is a bit too long or wet. Both chew up sticks with ease

      • Noise: I haven’t used them side by side, but the Ferrex seems quieter. Neither are offensively loud

      • Build quality: Ozito seems to be a sturdier build. Thicker handles look and feel higher quality. Ozito has telescopic handles, Ferrex is fiddly to adjust length.

      • Ease of use: Both dead simple. Ferrex feels a bit easier to manoeuvre and the padded handles are more comfortable. I have big hands, but the thicker, metal handles of the Ozito cause greater forearm fatigue

      • Storage: Both fold “flat”. Ozito is easy to hang parallel to the wall. Ferrex wont hang without additional support

      • Batteries: Both kits are more than enough for a 100m2 lawn. I love the Ferrex 4ah batteries with denser 21700 cells - more compact than the Ozitos I’ve used. Ferrex shows charge remaining as 0-100%, Ozito is just 3 LEDs to signify 33%, 66% or 100%.
        *I bought the Ferrex dual battery fast charger as charging batteries one at a time would be annoying.

      Others have touched on availability of parts - take that into consideration if important to you.

      • Vavoom on 24/02/2025 - 08:00

        Thanks for the review! I've got a question about the space for the batteries in the Ferrex lawnmower. When you use the 4ah batteries, how much more space is there left in the slots? I'm trying to see if I can just use makita or some other battery with an adapter in there but obviously it would need to be able to fit.

        • homebrandjesus on 24/02/2025 - 18:53
          +2

          @Vavoom I don’t like your chances.

          If I put 4ah batteries in there there’s about 2cm space left in each compartment. If I put 8ah batteries there’s no space.

          Keep in mind the Ferrex batteries are compact - the 8ah Ferrex is about the same size as 4ah Ozitos I’ve used. 4ah Ferrex same size as 2ah Ozitos.

          You’d want a very compact Makita/other battery and a very compact adapter.

            @homebrandjesus: You're a champion for checking and measuring anyway! Might just bite the bullet and get a couple of Ferrex batteries anyway seeing as how they're so cheap.

    Bunnings haven't matched like for like with the mower.

    The Aldi one is 2 x 20V brushless, the Ozito model (PXLMK-3182) is 2 x 18V but not brushless.

    • Oauiii on 20/02/2025 - 07:28

      Is the Aldi one equivalent to a 40v mower?

      • skid on 20/02/2025 - 11:28

        It is.

        • homebrandjesus on 20/02/2025 - 11:52
          +1

          They are both equivalent to an 18v mower.

          • “20v”: This is just marketing speak. Both batteries are 18v but have a peak voltage of 20v. Ferrex uses the latter in their marketing.

          • “2x”: My understanding is the batteries are in a parallel circuit, which allows for higher amperage not voltage. Increasing either enables increased power output (in watts) though, as volts x amps = watts. *Happy to be corrected

            +2

            @homebrandjesus: Yep – though they run the batteries in series. Higher voltage, same current. That means they get the same power but don't need to increase wiring thickness. Generally stuff like speed controllers and brushless motors are cheaper to have handle higher voltage (at this level anyway), than higher current.

          I'm not familiar with this exact mower but the adapter only adds about 10mm height to the battery and the Ozito battery has a smaller footprint than the Ferrex so I don't see why it wouldn't fit, unless they've got really small margins in the compartment.

          But if that other post says the 8ah fits and that's a chunky boy, then your standard Ozito's should have no problem. I've never adapted Makita's but from memory they're quite small too so shouldn't have an issue

    Does that Ferrex Pole/Pruner take any size battery? What does a 20V Battery 4.0Ah or Dual Charger actually mean in terms of what you get? Do you choose from a battery or a dual charger?

    Also, since everyone keeps mentioning Ozito, I'm assume these Ferrex products use Ozitio batteries?

    • vengeance88 on 20/02/2025 - 09:32
      +2

      Ferrex is Aldi, Ozito is Bunnings. They are different systems so won't work without a 3rd party adapter. You normally use Ferrex batteries with a Ferrex skin.

      The Dual Charger refers to the capability of the charger to charge 2 batteries at the same time. The 4Ah battery refers to the capacity of the battery (ie. You will get less run time with a 2Ah battery).

    My parents have the hand pruners - game changer for woody branches / hedges etc upto about double finger width.

    I used for hours cutting back a super tough woody hedge (never would have done it with conventional pruners) then chomping to get it in the bin all on a 2ah battery. They work brilliantly and super clean where my ozito 36v chainsaw or recip would have been bouncing and ripping all over small stuff.

    Fyi that's normal price on the high pressure pump (59) and blower (79) - I have both and work great. Pump did get price matched last time, but not now.

    Remember you can get adapters for other 18 volt systems like makita (And others) so you can use your existing batteries with the cheaper Ozito (Einhell) tools from bunnings.

    Great when you see the ozito (Einhell) skins cheap at Bunnings.

    Einhell is the company that makes Ozito and when searching for things like the adapter it can help if you also search for Einhell as well as ozito as Einhell is the brand they are sold outside Australia.

    High pressure inflator now matched!

  • AngryAlfred on 20/02/2025 - 09:30

    Pretty sure $35 is the standard price for that high volume inflator so it's not matched, I remember paying $29 for it when it first launched and honestly it's not great, haven't used ALDI to compare

    The high volume one I have both ALDI/Ozito versions for… reasons. The ALDI one runs at 14l/min and Ozito only 12l/min. Doesn't look like much but 16% faster adds up, especially when they're advertised as 5 minutes working 15 minutes break or something close to that

    • snapper on 20/02/2025 - 10:23

      Correct - Ozito high volume inflator has been $35 since 2021 (according to Price Hipster) whereas the high pressure inflator is normally $60 and was $39 in Feb 2024, so $4 cheaper this time.

      • AngryAlfred on 20/02/2025 - 11:07

        Yeah, the high pressure is what I meant in the second part. Both good value for $39/$35 IMO but worth pointing out the slightly different specs. Guess if it really mattered though you'd buy a 12v compressor anyway

    Bunnings must be running a hefty profit on a lot of common items, given the way they only match Aldis profits only when similar pops up in —Aldi special buys catalogue. Which is generally only once a year.And that stock generally lasts about 3 weeks, max.
    So 48-49 weeks of bonus extra % profits on those goods.

    Pruner looks great and definitely something I want to add to my Ozito wall, but I can't help but feel even $79 is too much. I've been so spoiled by $30 tool deals

    I picked up the pruning shears this morning and gave them a run on some green fresh branches.
    They work really well and slice quickly through branches as per the rating.

    But I have doubts about the durability of the blades. The top blade has become quite notched and somewhat folded.
    I've only done about 50 cuts in my garden. See the photos below.
    I wonder if the blades are lacking an appropriate temper?
