Voted cold. Reason unknown.

I don't know how many donations he's going to get in the garden but its worth a try I suppose.

Tbh l don't do threads on the other stuff you've mentioned and never really get 'colded' by the techys for no reason. On the whole they ignore the other stuff from what l can see, if it doesn't interest them.

If this goes cold l think it might not be for deal reasons, more the OP attitude? Just a thought... Good luck though, mower seems okay to me. :smiley:

Spot on.

Stop telling punters not to vote cold and giving us a running commentary on cold votes.

Mine just broke after i was trying to cut some overgrown grass :smiley:

The flymo one. I used to have one.

many to great this but my gorilla thumbs on the phone screen ended up voting it could.

If you expand the comments you'll see it's the cheap £35 flymo..

However the overwhelming consensus among owners as reported by Amazon and Which? is that it's NOT terrible.. it is in fact rather good when used on appropriate lawns.

Which one is terrible and please explain on how you base your statement please?

This one is terrible..

I tried my mower today - works fine although the wheels needed tightening as I went round. It doesn't help having a slightly bumpy (and overgrown) lawn.

I bought this on Sunday from the Scunthorpe store. Took me 5 minutes to assemble (easy!) and works a treat. I only have a small garden though.

One of the wheels did pop off but I'm not sure whether that was my fault or not. However, for the price it is available it - get it.

Yes, being kept in a cold garage, the plastic base on my mower went brittle and the extra leverage required on uneven ground caused it to crack where the handles joined the base. I've never had any problem with metal base mowers.

Used on two lawns (moved during that time) both mostly flat but with slopes and lumpy bits.

I think you are suggesting leverage from the metal handles cracks the plastic when you lift or drop the front end??

Maybe the quality of mowers has gone down since my last one.

But ... on the second point ... did you use it on flat or uneven ground?

Two guidance rules for buying lawnmowers:
1 - Don't buy Flymo (customer relations service is the pits)
2 - Don't buy one with plastic base (if you use it on ground which is not flat, it will eventually crack where the metal handles are fixed)

Taking mine back to store. Stopped working after 10 mins. Rubbish :disappointed:

Didn't anybody get the 1400w model I posted??

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/1400w-lawnmower-39-99-aldi-reduced-from-59-99-with-3-years-warranty-1927644

Seems fine..

thank you

As some people mentioned it cut the grass well and collect in bin. Certainly looks cheap plastic and also wheel come out every 2 or 3 round, its shame that need to fix it before go for another round.Not the best in the market but cheap and does the job. Good luck

OP and anyone else that bought this you might want to return that lawnmower and get this one instead

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/flymo-easimo-lawnmower-mini-grass-trimmer-twin-set-now-49-40-with-code-tesco-direct-1933247

Bought one, used it yesterday, does what it says on the box. Cuts grass, in fact cuts it well and collects the grass, in the box, better than the flymo ive just dumped off. After one use got to say Im happy with it so far.

Just bought one, looks really small and plasticky, don't know whether to buy the one from tesco.

The guarantee is useless as its not the retail offering this 3 year guarantee or is it the manufacturer offering this guarantee its a third party guarantee.....http://www.coreservice.co.uk/products/garden-line/gardenline/items/geslm32e-zb-1000w-lawnmower/

Anyone bought one yet and tried it out?

whats aldi's 3 year warranty like?can you just take it back to the shop or do you have to go through numerous phone calls to the manufacturer?hot by the way

Went to take a look at one of these earlier. Although offering 3 years warranty, I was not convinced - it looked very, very small and plasticky. Went for this instead:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/tesco-elm042012-electric-rotary-lawn-mower-1400w-40-05-with-code-1933465#post22091852

Buying with a card that offers an extra years warranty (ie Nationwide) will give extra peace of mind

Flymo lawn mover and strimmer £50 at least the wheels wont fall off

There doesn't have to be a point. it's just a bit of fun. Statistics.

You don't have to attack me personally and call me a cock. I've done nothing wrong.

Why not?

234 people voted cold..
368 people voted hot :smiley:

Glad you said that mate 'cause I was confused, douche or douch is a shower. Thanks for clearing that up.

Well talking of douche people on here voting cold just because they dont like and offer regardless of it being a good price

My local republic store was closing down
With 50% off EVERYTHING
Huge name brands
Loads of good deals
Yet it got voted -55 cold

I challange any one to get those prices in a shop with those brands!!!!!

hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Its a good deal, and therefore ive voted the deal hot

That's the spirit! :laughing:

Totally allowed to be interested. I do hope your busy shedule & business isn't suffering too much though :man:

I'm sure they are. I haven't attacked anyone personally, but as an observation I believe there is a definite bias towards tech/gaming products, where other deals are swept under the carpet. That was just a light hearted point in my original post, but some have taken this badly and have attacked me personally. I'll carry on posting and commenting and voting hot/cold.

disarm, I wish you the best :smiley: I think this thread is proof positive that you can't defeat a good deal: it still gets voted Hot regardless of the chatter within the thread, and the rather snippy original post.

So, maybe you'll think more positively of Hotukdeals in future :smiley: Don't get me wrong, it has its trolls and eejits, but you can have a good laugh, learn a few things (at least I have with more techie Deals). Most members are alright.

My challenge in the original post was to find a comparable product within the same price range.
Other than that, I'm interested in the thread, if that's allowed.

Not a bad lawn mower,got one from Aldi last year...only thing is that the wheels screw on and can sometimes fall off while mowing lol,every now and then I have to stop to tighten the wheel. To adjust the height of mowing ,you have to unscrew the wheels and move them to another thread..you only have 3 heights,all of them which cut the grass quite low. Quite a powerful machine though,make sure you have no stones on the grass or wear some shin pads.

You shouldn't. But clearly you do. Hence the running commentary and the challenge in your original post that cold votes are explained.

Voted Hot, as it's a great deal and I appreciate the post. OP, I know you say you "don't care" what people vote but you obviously do if you're giving updates on Cold voters/the current temperature of the deal and you keep replying rather defensively.

It's Hotukdeals. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason why things get Hot, or Cold. Many people get very possessive/competitive about their deals. See it as, if it helps one person, the rest is a bonus. We've all had our fair share of freezing deals, just got to take it on the chin and forget about it.

Keep up the good work, hot and cold voters!

I was going to vote hot on this deal. Then I saw the OP's ongoing commentary...
Voted cold

I only voted cold just because of the big **** deal you are making about it

That's a lot of lawnmower for £35 smackers and with a 3 year warranty!!
2nd hand ones sell for £15/30+ so this is a steal.
Heat added..dunno why tho..lol

You drink it but make sure it's only 95 or you'll get a nasty head in the morning.

I want my cutting edge on the blades, not in the nasty colour.
It also is missing an engine; where do you put the petrol?

Cold, nasty colour.

If considering this, do check for remaining stock of the more powerful 1400W model with a wider cutting circle (37cm vs 32cm).. being knocked down from £59.99 to £39.99 and also with 3 year warranty...

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/1400w-lawnmower-39-99-aldi-reduced-from-59-99-with-3-years-warranty-1927644

VOTED HOT CAUSE I ACTUALLY LIKE TO VOTE FOR ITEMS BASED ON THE PRODUCT / PRICE / DESCRIPTION..

Voted cold, reason being that the op's attitude sucks.

Hot...Thx OP.

The are a supermarket not a food retailer, just like Tesco, Sainsbury and others.

No that's a Phillps or a Morphy Richards.

Something strange happened there fishmaster should not have been on same reply, I wanted to ask if fishmaster had a Dacia because he "Can do the maths".

I vote hot because £34.99 3 year warranty is £11.66 a year, can't say fairer than that, that's the power of Maths for you, makes you seem like you have a logical argument when you don't.

Hot considering I paid £60 for flymo

Probably break within 1 week if that

Nice I look up PC and this comes up because for some unknown reason the OP has written PC with many other tags in the description. As for the deal I wouldn't know if it is good deal or not.

I'm not sure why people get so hung up about their deals getting heat and wanting reasons for peoples cold votes. It is what it is.

Thanks for the deal posted, but let's all try and get along nicely, we're all here for the same reason.

cold wont last 5 mins

Great price, thanks for posting :smiley:

Voted hot, should have waited, just read its only a 1000W, just not powerful enough.

Voted cold.

Reason

Cheap and nasty lawnmower from a food retailer.

Great find! My Flymo is on its last legs so I will go and check it out! Thank you fantastic price!

This is something I struggle to understand as well, maybe in the same way as console gamers play for badges, they feel inadequate in other areas of their life.

A good deal is subjective, I don't appreciate being guided how to vote.

Why do people feel the need to compete to make the hottest deal? I dont get it
A good deal to one person may not be a good deal to another

All you are doing is lining hotukdeals' pockets. Sorry Hduk

Well done op for taking the time to post, would never have thought you could get a Lawnmower for so little money, especially in peak season!! Thank you.

I have a business to run as well as everything else.

I have taken the time to share this so that others can benefit.

People can attack me personally but it doesn't detract from this being a cracking deal.

lawn mowers are the new usb drives, think I'll make a brew and teach the wife how a lawn mower works

Like OP's that comment on their own deals

Bought one from Aldi and found it incredibly heavy to push and manoeuvre

Voted cold because I got a headache from reading the comments.

Had mine a year now. Still cuts it......

No mate I'm on about their weekly deals. Ie this is available from the 19th June so it's there Thursday Sunday deal selection.

Too many kids on here that vote hot for xbox one/PS4/usb sticks etc.....they troll and rubbish all non specific other deals, members on here spend their own time in posting these genuine money saving deals so all vote cold in future anything to do with gaming and see how they like it.....rotten rascals

If they're 'on the look out for it', it will come up in their search... when they're 'on the look out for it'.

cheap like dirt. How do they make these with such low costs and still sell for profit is beyond me.
Hot for me. Only wish this came before I bought my Bosch.

I don't think he can help himself

I hate every aldi deal being posted. If people are that interested they would get the app or look on the website.

Tbh l don't do threads on the other stuff you've mentioned and never really get 'colded' by the techys for no reason. On the whole they ignore the other stuff from what l can see, if it doesn't interest them.

If this goes cold l think it might not be for deal reasons, more the OP attitude? Just a thought... Good luck though, mower seems okay to me. :smiley:

Voted cold. Free delivery not available.

Great deal, pretty big for a usb stick thou! :smiley:
Hot 4 me

I can? Marvellous.

I broke our mower the other day.
Saw this thread.
Read opening posts.
Voted cold.
My reason is thus:
You found a cheap lawnmower and seem to think that entitles you to talk down to people.
And I say this as someone that's actively in the market for a new mower.
I'm actually tempted to go to Aldi, buy this mower, maybe find that it's very good, and then go out if my way to create a new HUKD account with my work email just to vote the deal cold again.

Those apples. How you liking them?

Voted cold, good chance you will find it in store and no wild goose chase required.

Is this hand propelled?

Hot but it's raining :-(

I don't know how many donations he's going to get in the garden but its worth a try I suppose.

Isn't this the same item as posted a couple of days ago??
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/1400w-lawnmower-39-99-aldi-reduced-from-59-99-with-3-years-warranty-1927644

Sorry your post is £5 cheaper

to the OP follow these simple steps

1. take off knickers
2. untwist
3. replace untwisted knickers

if that fails this one will take about 12 hours to work but try this

1 wake up
2 get out of the other side of the bed as you did today.

that should do it.

Hot for price, warranty etc. Good basic for £35.00 but no HDMI or 4g and let's face it this is not going to taste as good as an M&S Dine in for a tenner but I'll buy it anyway just so I can irritate the oily sneering sarky git who's the Manager at my local Aldi by asking him about all of those features....at length.

[quote=frank321][quote=disarm] I understand that this isn't a TV, games console, PC or console game, USB memory stick, hard drive, graphics card, blu-ray player, amplifier, speakers or headphones, so it may attract some cold votes. ((((( hugs)))))

Cant moan for the price -Hot for me.

Cold-not an iMower. :smirk:

Voted hot, basic mower for £35 with a three year guarantee is pretty blooming good. Only knocked off or second hand is cheaper than this and they're not guaranteed that long usually.

It looks like the little mower I got from Asda a few years ago for £25 which has been an absolute gem! Beats the big expensive one I had before that hands down.....

I think the OP,s username should be taken seriously :smile:

This looks like a clone of a Flymo that sells for between £50 and £80ish in places like Argos, Homebase, etc. Looks a bargain.

I do. Thanks.

If you say so.

"but if a genuine good deal is voted cold"

Genuine good deals generally aren't voted cold. Get over yourself.

voted cold because of the op

...don't forget alien quadrilogy boxed set, Tesco economy noodles, The Wire in new packaging, some pathetic rocking chairs for 'gamers' ie 40 year old men that need to grow up and some posts from holiday pirates about a holiday to an area of wasteland somewhere in the Mediterranean staying in the broom cupboard of some student lodgings. If it's none of these it will almost definitely go cold unless you put something really nauseating before your post. Suggestions include 'its my first post go gentle on me' or 'hope this helps someone'. If you do this and agree to repost the same item infinitely so it feels like we are stuck on a broken record on this site then you will go far in the world of hotukd ops...

Hot!

Voting HOT, was looking for a mower for my husband, he wants one with a collection box, this is a great price. Thanks for posting xx

dragons den here I come

Quite and besides l doubt l'd ever ask every *single* person to explain their cold vote. Id still be reading them now :smile:

People can do what they want, but if a genuine good deal is voted cold, less people will see it. If my deal gets voted cold, it's not me that suffers, it's anyone who's on the lookout for this product but doesn't see it because it's way down in the listings.

Ideally, yes. But when you start taking umbrage and lecturing people on how to vote, they invariably vote cold. That's the way it works.

please dont mow the lawn while wearing headphones

Spot on.

Stop telling punters not to vote cold and giving us a running commentary on cold votes.

Heat added. Not one I would personally buy, but for that price it's not such a great loss if it breaks down after a few years of use.

Still more cold than hot....this must be a really bad deal!!

Heat added. Too many **** on here with nothing to do

Looks pretty good to me, heat added.

I bought this a couple of years ago for more money. It is great and brilliant value. much better than more expensive flymos that have packed up just as the warranty ran out.

Voted cold. Reason unknown.

OK, the first cold vote is in!!!!
