    Hope we get some Ozito price match on the pole pruner!

    • evocable on 18/02/2024 - 11:32

      They matched with the Xu1 pole pruner/hedge trimmer last time…

      • pufffdragon on 18/02/2024 - 16:28

        I got the Xu1 and it was garbage. The hedger was ok, but the pruner I just couldn't get it to cut properly, no matter how much adjusting I did with it.

        • earthqauke on 19/02/2024 - 01:02

          mine works well, in fact I'd say the pruner/chainsaw is better than the hedge trimmer. did you install the chain correctly so it was travelling in the correct direction?

          • pufffdragon on 19/02/2024 - 13:53

            @earthqauke: Yeah, I made sure it was installed correctly. Had the chain exactly like the picture showed in the proper direction.

            Never got a clean cut with it. It always bounced off and ripped the wood to shreds. Maybe I should flip the chain and see how it goes.

    • WT on 18/02/2024 - 13:43
      +6

      neighbour threw theirs out, it looked like it was only used once so I picked it up, bought a battery and it was fine! They installed the chain backwards and wouldnt cut, once flipped it works well enough

      I have filled 18+ bins easy over summer so far since we have 3. Im not talking about white person filling, im talking full blown asian style, cut leafy stuff after collection, jam it down with a shovel and let it sit, then the weekend before collection, jam it down again and fill it with logs and other brushy stuff. I have had 1 bin not collected due to weight limit but most will be 50+ kg. I also keep larger logs over 4'' for the fire/camping etc.

      For what I paid, its a bargain, at 99 its a good deal. If im in a rush to fill the bins, a 2ah will fill all 3, but not as extensively packed as my usual method.

      Id cut more and use neighbours bins but our council is one of those types, everything needs approval and emphasis is on green. Our place is overgrown and hard to manage. Our closest reserve is pretty much a rain forest!

      Normally I would say "buy better tools" but for this price and the average guy it will last years. I dont use the hedger much but anything over 8-10mm it will stall it but most will stall at that size

        Thanks for cutting a long story short, or should I say pruning?

          Nothing short about this. Definitely try pruning!

      • BargainKen on 19/02/2024 - 12:22

        I tried it, chain was installed correctly but it wouldn't cut very thick branches, was kicking back alot, battery needs more voltage. They released a 2x18v variant that would do much better.

        • WT on 19/02/2024 - 17:28

          i cut a 7''+ hardwood branch yesterday, had to get creative since its wider then the chain and it took most of the battery but did about 10x 4'' logs cuts too

          I dont get any kick back and the motor/battery safety cuts off if I overload it. Id say kick back is more how youre using it, the angle vs weight of the unit. Im not a pro though, just done a lot since i was 10 (slave labour asian parents)

          • BargainKen on 19/02/2024 - 17:44

            @WT: The pole was fully extended since that's it's utility, so I would not be able to provide the same force as it would upclose

            • WT on 21/02/2024 - 21:06

              @BargainKen: you shouldnt push down too much, let the blade do the work

              Battery stuff doesnt have RPM to push down like a 2 stroke or the torque of a 240v wired motor

    • ialam99 on 18/02/2024 - 15:58

      The upcoming vacuum cleaner is a 'new' model that runs off the Xfinity Battery.

      • HamBoi69 on 18/02/2024 - 11:44

        Might explain the $50 price increase between this deal and the previous deal

        • RichardL on 18/02/2024 - 11:49

          I own the previous model and it looks like this (more of a handheld vac with a plastic tube extension).

          The new vac looks more like a dyson-style stick vac.

          • HamBoi69 on 18/02/2024 - 11:54
            +1

            @RichardL: Very true. For the price and included 5-year warranty, it seems like a great deal. It's better than a Dyson because the ability to swap the batteries is more user-friendly.

            • Luckypenguin on 18/02/2024 - 12:04

              @HamBoi69: That's where the Bosch 18v Serie 6 and 7 vacuums have an advantage over Dyson.

            • whitelie on 18/02/2024 - 16:08

              @HamBoi69: Very easy to get an adapter and use Ozito, Makita, Dewalt etc batteries in the Dysons

              • Luckypenguin on 22/02/2024 - 11:41

                @whitelie: How do they handle the lower input voltage? Dyson batteries use a six-cell 21.6V design vs five-cell 18v for most power tool batteries.

      • J B S on 18/02/2024 - 17:20

        Do you know if the worx batteries from Supercheap work with these or with an adapter?

    • NorthPort on 18/02/2024 - 16:36

      I have the whole set and most of the tools with the exception of the vacuum (previous year) was awful..had to return it later that week.

      The line trimmer, edger, pruner, hedge trimmer and chainsaw have been brilliant. The lawn mower needs its blades regularly sharpened and can struggle with long/lush grass and gets clogged between the mower and the catcher very easily.

  • RichardL on 18/02/2024 - 11:40

    They finally released a Ferrex/Xfinity Heat Gun.

    Been waiting so long, I ended up picking up a second hand PowerG (Autobarn Compatible) from eBay last year.

      • rs0123 on 18/02/2024 - 17:27

        But it is quiet powerful

      • 02LyW on 18/02/2024 - 18:11

        You listed a few cons for petrol. Fair points. I'll balance it with some cons for battery tools. Higher start up cost to purchase skin, batteries and charger. If you don't have spare batteries, you have to stop working to recharge once the batteries go flat.

  • Bargainolic on 18/02/2024 - 12:17

    any feedback on the pole pruner/ hedge trimmer? What puts me off Aldi stuff is that I have heard returns are a pain

    • Willyslicks on 18/02/2024 - 12:33

      No issues with mine. They didn't even check the box

    • Alzori on 18/02/2024 - 12:37

      It's effective enough for what it is. Successfully used it to cut up a large (maybe 200mm dia, 10m long) branch that came down but was half stuck in another tree recently, in order to get it grounded and cleaned up. Saved myself paying professionals to come get it down.

      I kinda wish the saw head would tilt the other way (so it could cut horizontally when pointing the pole straight up) but it's still been useful.

    • WT on 18/02/2024 - 14:18

      i posted above

  • Alzori on 18/02/2024 - 12:43

    New vacuum sounds nice, brushless and XFINITY compatible is a great combo. Don't need another one tho.

    Also give credit to ALDI for new mower image, it does look like a slightly revised model ;)

      TBH - Aldi is keeping Bunnings honest.

      Just imagine the price margin that Bunnings applies when Aldi specials finish.

      During Masters's time, Bunnings had really competitive prices. The demise of Masters created a field day for Bunnings (except for Aldi specials period).

      • BargainKen on 19/02/2024 - 17:50

        Bunnings batteries are a good $20 cheaper than Aldi which they use to sucker you into the ozito system. Other nicety with Bunnings is they're sold year round, Aldi gotta wait for specials to come around.

    Last time this bunch was up - Bunnings matched with their Ozito 2 x18v 370mm (brushed) mower. I got this for my mother but I would urge folks to AVOID it and get the Aldi brushless one instead, the Ozito brushed 370mm is quite gutless - and an ordinary bit of kit IMHO. The Aldi brushless one had good reports on power - alternatively go the the Aldi steel deck brushless, which is $500 but much more powerful, near low end petrol performance.

    • denserham on 19/02/2024 - 00:06

      I am really hanging out for the steeldeck brushless to come back to Aldi, my current Aldi one just can't keep up with the crazy grass growth I have in my backyard but I have so many Aldi batteries I don't really want to switch brands. But it sure does suck not knowing when they will bring it back.

      I think the people that sold the house before me seeded their lawn to make it look good but used some stupid strain of grass because my neighbors doesn't grow like mine.

      • davo_4 on 19/02/2024 - 08:02

        Same here, but i dont know if they will ever sell it again as last time it ended up in the discount pile as not many people bought it at full price.

      • WT on 19/02/2024 - 17:32

        try cutting more often. We have our buffalo at max height so its super thick and even with a petrol honda, cutting 2x week is easier and about the same time as 1x per week because I dont need to go over areas to mulch it in

        • denserham on 19/02/2024 - 18:44
          +1

          Would love to but its hard to find the time to now it as much as I do, that's why I am longing for a more powerful mower as it would allow me to work faster and maybe be able to hit it a few times a week. I have 400ish sqm of grass and it is so dense that the mower in this catalogue struggles if I got busy and missed a week.

          But yeah no idea if the steeldeck electric would be good enough or if I should just go petrol.

          • WT on 21/02/2024 - 21:09

            @denserham: you can look into PGR's

            The other thing you can do is scalp it which can force the grass to play catch up

            • denserham on 21/02/2024 - 21:26

              @WT: I've tried scalping it I think? Depends how you define it. Is it mowing it super short? Honestly this aldi mower just won't do it, the base system of the grass is soo thick. It is a type of grass that will grow up around a bush and kill it almost like a weed. It has carpeted over a brickpath I uncovered with a pressure washer a year ago making it disappear.

              I have gone on Gumtree multiple times over the last few years looking at miniture goats and sheep but never pulled the trigger. I would flamethrower it and salt the earth if it was feasible.

              • WT on 23/02/2024 - 14:58

                @denserham: yea it puts the grass under stress when you cut below the crown, thins it out etc.

                The harder you scalp it, the more stress and buffer you get but it looks pretty bad for a couple of weeks. but after a scalp, you might not mow for 2-3 weeks, if you do its just a quick trim

                The other problem is you open up the canopy for weed seeds

                Maybe search your type of grass to give other solutions

    • miicah on 19/02/2024 - 11:30

      Do Bunnings even sell the brushed Ozito mowers any more?

  • LowRange on 18/02/2024 - 16:57

    Don't understand why anyone would want to get in to the Aldi cordless platform. You can't get new tools whenever you want, and if something dies then good luck getting a replacement.

    • dufflover on 18/02/2024 - 21:16

      If you have a store with good markdowns you can get tools at pretty good prices. There have also been tools in the past which Ozito did not have an equivalent of such as the nail gun and sliding mitre saw - they are a lot more covered now these days though.

      YMMY with stores and also the returns thing as mentioned.

        Can confirm this was how we got into the Xfinity/Ferrex tools ecosystem. We picked up a few tools and batteries that were heavily markdown (~50% off) at our local ALDI years ago and slowly adding to it.

      My local Aldi had 8 mowers available, gone in 60 seconds. 590 X 8 = 4720 potentially lost mower sales, plus any value added, for Bunnings. The economics obviously just didn't add up for Bunnings.

        I think the theory was to 'always' make it a better or equal deal at Bunnings and eventually knock out the competition. Long game style
