Yes, they are quite well-made budget tools. I bought a pole saw from Aldi. I buggered it by cutting the cord with my loppers and despite rewiring it was dead. Have a look at Saxton Blades for blade replacements when needed.

I have a noisy Guild m.tool mains, bought it as it was budget, but my Son has an expensive Makita battery m.tool and he has to remove the clamping stud to change accessories whereas mine, I just lift the lever fully and slot out, might be a consideration in choice.
Went off Ryobi when my circular saw drive 16mm fell apart and I was left with 3 blades that will only fit a small number of other makes, my battery drill also packed up due to the trigger switch failure.

Funny you should say that Aero, my Bosch is bloody noisy too. I tend to put my ear defenders on it is so loud. I can honestly say it is louder than my petrol strimmer.
