Ferrex (Aldi) battery lawnmower

stevec59

Hi everyone,
last year I nearly bought a battery lawnmower from Aldi
https://www.aldi.co.uk/lawnmower-&-20-40v-battery-charger/p/000000490219000 I’d be interested to know if anyone has one and there thoughts. It does come with a 3 year warranty, so that’s good. Of course ow you can’t see the price but I think @£80 + battery and charger, so £140 / £150?
There are a few deals on lawnmowers at the momment, I was looking at a Ryobi one, as Ryobi are a well known manufacturer, but some of the reviews were quite bad, mainly to do with the battery, I did see one in B&Q, it was incredibly light, but seemed quite cheap and plasticky, I know they’re mad out of plastic, but it just felt flimsy

Hey Steve

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the mowers but you might check on the Lidl/Aldi board.

I've got one and a few other Ferrex tools too and have been pleased with them all. As a result it has been worth my while getting spare batteries. 

My patch of grass in the garden is minute, but I also chuck it in the car and take it down the allotment to keep that tidy so it gets a bit of heavier work. I'm trying to remember how many years I've had it but so far so good.

I have had both the battery and electric wired versions good for my uneven and sloped lawn   Only thing I found is they are very heavy and as I have arthritis hard to lift in and out of my shed but good quality.
