Its Aldi Mower season again on October 10 - looks like aldi is finally ready to unleash another shocker upon a gullible buying public
Ignoring the 80v battery one (because I wager no one is interested in it - I know I am not)...
Their offering is a $399 224 cc Autochoke electric start chonda on 21in SP steel deck covered in plastic that look like they belong on a toy (which is to say they are in the right place). No throttle, only good thing is it has 4x swing back blades. Weight is 48kg! Wait til the SP dies.
Then there is a $199 31cc 4 stroke trimmer. They have been selling these a few times now and I have honestly not seen many broken coming up - so maybe thats a good sign.
There is a $199 49cc 4 stroke (yes 4 stroke) chainsaw with 16in oregon bar and chain (which looks very vanilla homebrand with no identifying markings).
They have had a 4 stroke saw before - where it took its engine oil out of the bar oil (so you had to kill your bar with 10w30 oil). You had to use the bar oil cap to get the fuel cap off for refueling - the idea being you couldn't forget to top up the oil.
This new one doesn't have this feature - so whether its a different system, or they have just decided to let it die, we will have to see.
Only other petrol thing is a $299 pressure washer - 209cc chonda, 11lpm @3200psi, with 10m hose, detergent tank, different nozzles, etc.
All branded Ferrex - same as Scheppach, gardenline, 909 - all apparently managed by the same bloke/company.
The part that will be of most interest to us is the $12.99 1L full synth 2 stroke oil is back! Along with 2l of chain bar oil at the same price.
The bar oil is normally blue and quite nice and tacky - excellent for oiling foam air filters, have found it can be a bit thick for some Ryobi pole pruners unless watered down with 15w40
MF, no doubt you will be happy about the 2 st oil
