Being aldi, stock will be limited. This should save me time and money out here in the sticks.

User name checks out.
Bunnings has a similar Ryobi unit for $248 - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/303291
Again they are price matching Aldi. Support the guys that offered it first (if still available).

Why? It's a different brand.

I agree, Bunnings are nothing but parasites that will do everything they can to destroy competition and the ACCC sits back and watches with glee.
does ryobi make a 18v toilet suction unit? they seem to make everything else.
This will do the same job…

Looks ticklish.
And I don't think it would suit any Ozbargainers: Maximum 50mm in diameter.
@Scab: 1mm would be better suited
Sounds like you're stumped…
Ryobi is a 5 tonner… This one at 6.5 has more poke.
Why should the weight of the machine matter ?
This one at 6.5 has more poke.
More poke is always good, my dad taught me that many moons ago.
You can never have enough poke, ever.
More poke is always good
especially on Mondays.
PokeMon is much better than PokeTue !!!
Not literally I hope …

Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are equal in what they can do.
Actually, it looks identicle except for colour and the wheels. All other components look exactly the same.
Aldi have 5 year warranty on theirs and ryobi is only 2 years, so Aldi looks the better deal based on that alone. Ryobi is a good backup assuming Aldi sell out straight away.
If bunnings were serious about price matching they would offer this for $248

Looks like 100MHZ DDR-200 RAM to me.
Sheeeeep ram
that wood be right…
Anybody know if Bunnings has matched the pole pruner in the same Aldi sale?
https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-sat-29-…Will buy this Saturday and work its guts out over the weekend with left over logs I couldn't split by hand. It it gets thru the weekend it stays if not it gets flogged a bit more and returned for a full refund.

Did you pick your wife the same way?
Still going strong.
Bought this early this morning and it's a good piece of gear. Definitely worth the $250. Not sure how many are going to be left as there wasn't many left at my local store.
Same, and just split my winter pile no worries. One thing i'll be doing is to make the splitter razor sharp to aid splitting. Also going to make a 4way splitter for future use as well.
Very good machine for the money.
Highly recommended.
Really? I took mine bad within 30 mins of splitting. It struggled on knotted wood (where there are forks and branches). One of those little black guides things almost broke off completely (quite loose). I found the main ram (the one that pushed the logs) twists a fair bit when under load. This stopped the return function from working completely until I "helped" it along with a sledgehammer. Honestly, this is only good for splitting wood that you could have split with hand splitter anyway.
I agree this is the worst piece of crap I have ever bought, failed on the third use, had the same issue with the ram twisting and sticking.
Then whilst using it I noticed the bloody hydronic piston was bending as it came out of the machine. I hopefully have not thrown away the receipt !
Will NEVER buy from Aldi EVER again.
As the saying goes if it's too good to be true it is, cheap because it's crap!!
And for reference was not a massive log but obviously a hard wood because it didn't split instantly.
Price in title please.
