Is that a lawn mower? I swear it looks like Percy From Thomas the tank engine.
Petrol vs Electric cordless?
Aldi 17" 132cc vs Bunnings 16" 127cc
We have last years lawn mower (comparable model) and it's good. Starts first pop every time. No issues with it so far.
Aldi gives you 60 days to return it to store if you're not happy, after that it's much more complicated - you have to pack the item, post it (pay for shipping out of your pocket), and wait for their decision.
If the item develops a defect, it can still be returned for a full refund as long as you have the receipt
ACL says you can return to point of purchase, then it's up to them to return to supplier.
For bulky items, they are actually supposed to arrange for it to be collected from you at their cost, but I don't know what classifies as bulky.
They don't necessarily need to provide you a refund though. They have the option to repair or replace (though you'll likely have to wait for the supplier)
In the past I managed to get Aldi to pick a queen mattress from my place. Mattress was stained out of factory and once it was out of the box I didn’t have the means to return to Aldi. It took a bit of back and forth till it was picked up then went to Aldi for refund.
Incorrect, ACL overrides store policy.
OHV engine won't disappoint!
does anyone know if it's bar blade or swing back?
bunning for sure , I have last year mower and the catcher fell apart
got bosch one from amazon https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/585423
might grab the line trimmer from aldi
thanks OP
Corded electric.
Happy for any reccomendations on a line trimmer - Ozito or maybe the Rover sale that is meant to be coming up? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/592660
I have both the Ozito/PXC battery powered 'blade' one, and the Ozito mains powered one (grey). The mains powered is great, even has a wheel feature for doing edges. Cannot fault it. Very powerful.
its not too bad..
Corded is fantastic…. Battery ones no good
Anyone have experience with the smart bulbs? Do they link with Google Home?
They don't. They're not what you're thinking. They are bulbs with an additional sensor or functionality, not WiFi bulbs.
They dont sound that smart then :)
Agreed. Shouldn't be allowed to market bulbs as smart unless they have Google Home / Alexa supports.
Does anyone know the brightness of these 'smart' bulbs? I could use one in my bathroom but I currently have a very bright 18W LED in there, I'm guessing these are around 10W (yes I know, measure in lumens, I'm too lazy to check)
I bought the line trimmer maybe 3 or 4 years ago and it still runs fine. Picked up some cheap line on ebay. I probably use it 5 or 6 times a year.
If you're lazy and not fussed about your garden I wouldn't recommend it, but it has lasted me a while for what I paid
If you're lazy and not fussed about your garden I wouldn't recommend it
Seems contradictory, do you mean you would?
Precisely what I thought - no one who cares about their lawn could get away with line trimming once every two months ("5 or 6 times a year")…
Ozito ones are good gear for the price and warranty.
Do you find that it overheats at all? I have quite a big area to whipper snip and I always have issues with them overheating/shutting off but looking at one of these
The smart lights are $13 at Kmart and the firmware can be replaced.

Not the same, the Aldi ones have a motion sensor but seems they have no Wi-Fi.
Kmart ones have Wi-Fi but no built-in motion sensor.
Custom firmware for light bulbs? What an age!
anyone know what size the barclamps are?
Probably same as last time.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/540399These clamps did not get a good review though in the comments, and looks like no F-clamps this time.
thanks mate. they should be fine for my needs at least for smaller clamping needs. pity no F clamps
My bad … on the regular grocery run today I saw they did have the F-clamps.
Anyone has experienced 20V hammer drill? Is it any good for brick?
Also can you use it for normal screw work and drilling, or better to get an impact as well?
Should be fine for home use
If you want to drill into brick you need the hammer function
What is the best battery operated line trimmer on the market?
Petrol no brainer over meek battery mowers
True, but corded vs petrol is the real question, no servicing, no required petrol vs obvious downfalls of corded
Depends on size! If you protect petrol mower from weathering you wont need to service it
nahhh battery 36v+ mower shits on petrol.
Cords and petrol are so 1999
You've never tried the 80v (Victa in my case) by the sound of it. Mower, whipper snipper, even chainsaw all now battery and better than the petrol they replaced.
What's the price of 80v victa? How does it compare to similarly priced petrol and use for 500m2 of grass?
ive got one of these
https://www.bunnings.com.au/victa-18-super-mulcher-mulch-or-…
as garethb says much better than the old petrol mower it replaced, i should have made the switch sooner
I was gifted a petrol mower from Aldi before. I use it, but man its crap. Belt that drives wheels to make it easier on the sloped land falls off way too much hassle really.
What about apart from that though? Doesn't jam, starts reliably?
FYI , the wiper sniper doesn't have bump feed
Will bunnings match brushless drill
We wait in hope. History would indicate it is likely.
Is the lawn mower for sale from today? When can I buy it from?
Anyone has experience with this ezy load trimmer line. There is no spool or bump feed. It uses pre cut lines.
Surprised Bunnings hasnt yet price matched the 20V Brushless Hammer Drill $79.99
Does anyone know if they price match Aldi catalogue items everytime?
Price matching department on leave…
Sucks I was waiting to get the hammer drill
This lawn mower or bunnings for $179? Aldi has three years while bunnings as one. Any opinions?
