    So sad it died

    published

    I expected very little given the $100 price tag but this vaccum just kept charging. When suction dropped off it just required a good filter clean and was back to 100%. We even used it to clean a construction site for 8 months. I would love to find another onebut feara similar priced vaccum wont deliver the same way.

    Still going strong

    published

    I bought my vacuum cleaner a few years ago from Aldi, it has never let me down, not once! We have renovated our home, and there was a lot of plaster dust, and this vacuum cleaned it up with no hassles, BUT you do need to clean the filters quite often, ( I don't find it a problem). If this one ever breaks down I will get another one, for the price they charge its not worth worrying about warranties.

    Great! works a dream... in a quick house and car clean 'one-over'

    Aldi Cyclonic Vacuum

    published

    I have read some really interesting negative reviews of the Aldi cyclonic vac. Loses suction after a couple of weeks or months, seems to be the common whinge. I say whinge, because I bet the people who commented as such, never bothered to clean the filters. Yes, suction drops off when filters are dirty. I clean mine every couple of months and the vacuum works perfectly. Better that the heap of rubbish Electrolux that we paid 10 times the price for and lasted till a week after the warranty. Maintain your vacuum and it should serve you well.

    Another spectacular fail and just out of warranty

    published

    What can I say that can further add to the existing reviews? Again, the motor failed after a very short period of use. This qualifies for a zero star rating! The vacuum cleaner looks OK and is presumably trying to mimic something that actually might have a good reputation. Avoid at all costs!

    Awesome

    published

    Bought this 4 months ago and it is awesome. My daughter has a $800 Dyson and my $79 Aldi vacuum runs rings around it. Top it off it comes with a 3 year warranty. I will recommend this to everyone i know. The quality is great and the price is unbelievable. Another fine product from Aldi

    Love this vacuum!

    published

    Mine unfortunately broke recently, after 3.5 years. (The cord was pulled too hard I think.) It was fantastic. Suction was amazing. Every couple of months we pulled it apart and gave it all a wash and it was like brand new. I wish I could get my hands on another one!
    Reliable, cheap, quiet.

    Failed spectacularly

    published

    Worked OK for about a year, then blew up - literally - smoke, sparks, horrible smell. At a guess the electric motor decided it didn't want to play any more. Wasn't great even when living - the cord is too short for most houses. You get what you pay for with Aldi...

    Absolute Rubbish

    published

    You get what you pay for, suction started to die after two weeks. All plastic, so gives off a hot plastic smell. Asking for a refund tommorrow. I do not recommend Aldi electricals.You get what you pay for, suction started to die after two weeks. All plastic, so gives off a hot plastic smell. Asking for a refund tommorrow.

    The dust filter as good.

    Cheap And cheerful

    published

    I had been putting off buying a vacuum cleaner mostly due to high cost. Found this vac on sale for $19 and thought how could you go wrong?? First test and it picked up a lot of dust and dog hair. Very impressed so far. It does feel cheap but easy to clean and empty. Lets see how long it lasts..,

    While I had little problem with the cleaner, as such, parts were difficult to find. it is under 3 yr warranty but the belt broke and this would be considered normal wear and tear. I eventually bought replacement from Tempo in Sydney for $25. It broke almost imediately. Also a piece of plasric broke off the holder for the solid tubibg.
    Good sduction. Reasonable size waste container.
    Poor quality. Difficult to find parts.

    best Vacuum ever!

    published

    that is all. last cheap vacuum was rubbish so we thought we'd try this aldi one since they always seem to have great products. great long handle and cord, easy to empty dust canister. gets under low furniture easily. would recommend if anyone is looking for a cheap awesome vacuum cleaner with all the features of an expensive one

    I hesitated buying a cheap vacuum, but my expensive one still only lasted a couple of years. This has great suction, not too loud nor too heavy!!
    The design is great - the handle makes it easy to pick up, and the wheels work well. it has a clever tool on board that serves as a 2 in one. I haven't noticed it scratching the floors and the cord is longer than most too! Highly recommended for the price.
    Love this vacuum, and not that it's important, but I love the colour too :-) Great price as well, and 2 year warranty.
    Nothing so far, but only owned it for a couple of weeks.

    Excellent! Great price

    published

    We own an electrolux vacuum cleaner (non bagless) which cost us around $650. The head broke on this and while it was being fixed under warranty we bought a Aldi Lumina Bagless Vacuum for $99. This vacuum cleaner is fantastic. It got aturbo head which has a handle with speed/ power controls. It does a fantastic job on our carpet, so powerful it pulls the carpet up a little! Its a little loud, but this does not bother me. Comes with a 1 year warranty. From a dog that just loves to leave hair around the carpet this machine does a great job and can highly recommend it! I feel a silly for paying so much for our electrolux now as i truly cannot see or feel the difference.
    Powerful at a fantastic price.

    We love it, its thje best vacuum we have ever had, small and easy to use. It is powerful and sucks up all the dust. Once again Aldi have purchases a top quality item at a low cost.
    Small, light and easy to use.
    Very powerful. No Bag to empty, just a waster collector area, so no more expensive bags to buy
    The catch on the waste collector feels a little 'weak' and could break.
    The on off switch is playing up a little, but nothing to serious

    Great for the shed for vacuuming the cars as it is light and sucks like a champion. Comes with 12 months warranty and at only $89 whats to complain about.

    WARNING - Vacuuming up plaster dust WILL destroy the motor in a vacuum cleaner - I know, because this is how I blew up one of mine.
    Took it back to the manufacturer - they did repair and clean it out under warranty, but were NOT impressed.

    Good

    published

    For carpets it is excellent as it picks everything up without having to go over it 20 times. Shame about the nasty finish of the floor tool though as it makes it useless for hard floors that you don't want all scratched up.
    Really good suction - had to lessen it now and then as it was so strong! I had not problems with it picking up long hair. Easy to remove and empty dust cannister.Long cord.
    Can't use it on my tiles or hardwood floors as it the bottom of the floor tool is very rough and it scratches them. Bit annoyed about this as it means I will have to keep my old vacuum cleaner just for doing the hard surfaces :(
