ALDI Vacuum Food Sealer (Feb 2012, Jun 2012)

I purchased my Lumina Vacuum Food Sealer 29/06/2013. Now 24/07/2014, 25 days out of warranty, having only used it a dozen or so times the right locking clip breaks! Rang Aldi who put me through to Lumina who stated "No spare parts available" and that was all, no help what so ever was offered. Sorry but when you pay nearly $70 for an item I expect to last longer.
Best when little or no liquid.
right locking clip broken

I use my Aldi Lumina Food sealer every week, it hasn't missed a beat. It's quick, simple to use and easy to keep clean. I don't need to freeze meat, as it keeps in the fridge for about a week, but freezing small portions makes thawing quicker. Fantastic for little tit bits for the dog and cat.
Really simple to use, and to keep clean.

Absolute rubbish only used 2-3 times has not even had a roll of bags put through. It did work the first few time but now doesn't seal anymore just sits there vacuuming away without sealing and do you think I can find the purchase docket etc for warranty or get it repaired!!
Cheap
You get what you pay for by the look of it

Unreliable with one out of 2 or 3 leaking after sealing and needing to use more bag to seal when it did semi work (no idea if is the sealer bar on the unit or crappy quality of their bag rolls).... and just now stopped sealing.... then just sits vacuuming with no sealing... cleaned it and no change is basically new as it has only been used lightly with 1.5 rolls through it.
pretty red colour and felt heavy...
Not "cheap" once look at like 30 bags thru it and completely failed (no Lumina product i have has lasted)

The product when i got it worked well. Did exactly what it should have, seled, vaccuumed etc. We only used it about once every 2 months to seal about 6 bags.
Wouldnt you know it, at 14 months it stopped sealing, the heat strip is not heating up.....
And it is now out of warranty of course.

If you get a good one that keeps working these are a bargain, mine now needs replacing long before what i would consider a reasonable service life, even given the low initial purshase price.
inexpensive purchase price
it didnt last long at all....

This worked well first few weeks. Then stopped all of a sudden. Called warranty, sent replacement. Pulled out of box brand new, connected power and the viola - nothing sealed or vacuumed - brand new and didn't work as well. Aldi needs to look at their supplier chain - dump Lumina. Will be seeking refund from Aldi. Stay away people this is not worth the money.

Old one worked for few weeks; new replacment out of the box did not work at all

The price was right,it was easy to use and definitely eliminated freezer burn. It downsized the space in the freezer and the bags supplied were of a good heavy duty quality.
The ability to create my own bag sizes was also a huge benefit.
In short the sealer did exactly what it said it would. However this didn't last very long at all.
I liked the size, easy to fit in the cupboard and move around. The price was great, as was the cost of the replacement bags.
Unfortunately after 2 weeks it stopped sealing. Aldi's refunded the money immediately, but it was a pitty as it fit the bill perfectly.
