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

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 :(

Good product, great design, looks nice, good suction and reasonable price. What else do you expect from a vacccum cleaner.
Yes Great product worth $99. Good suction and nice design for cleaning dirt in the container. Much better than other expensive brands. plus comes with 2 years warranty. Worth it.

Thanks Owen.
Cant think of any at the moment.

I have a previous model of the lumina vacuum which I purchased 3 years ago, but purchased this one also as the dust bin and filter on this one seemed easier to be cleaned. The older version had a corrugated paper filter in the lid which got very dirty. This one is a washable plastic filter and a micro filter in one of the wheels. The suction is amazing considering it's only 1300W, in fact it is a bit annoying when vacuuming rugs. Also the duster brush is a great little swivel brush which gets in anywhere. Comes with a 3 year warranty which is a great improvement to previous models which only had 1 year. I guess they are move confident about this model.
Easy to empty dust bin
The cover of the micro filter in the wheel comes off too easily.

Perfect machine, with great suction, and easy to cleaan, BUT>>>> the belt that turns the brush snaps so easy! Only used the thing twice and already the belt has gone. Made of cheap rubber or something! Makes a good vacuum cleaner useless, which is a shame. In the 1950's and earlier, most products were made to last for decades, but today it's only made to last todays, so they can sell you the spare parts! Where do you buy the belts?
Great suction, relatively quiet, and green is a nice colour!
The belt! why aren't spares included?

I don't recommend you buy it! Very poor value for $99. This the third dud purchase from Aldi. They may be good for groceries, but be very cautious about their electrical goods.
Light, compact, cheap and bagless
Poor suction. Motor only lasted 11 months. Filter collapsed. Had to remove hard floor brush just to suck up visible dirt. The motor was also very loud.

Seems like a great bargain at $99, but it stopped working properly after only 19 months. Suction on carpet was great at the beginning, but got less and less effective. I couldn't use it on floor boards as it scratched the surface - that would be my major complaint. OK value for money, but obviously didn't last. Switching to Miele now.
Easy cleaning; little noise; long cord; good attachments; good value for money.
Scratched the floor boards; suction stopped working after 19 months so I had to return it. Comes with a two year warranty though, and returning it was absolutely hassle free. Just a nuisance that I already have to buy a new one.

When you look at the price of vacuum cleaners today,this is certainly value for money.This current model VC 460 Signature with the Hepa multi cyclonic filtration is surprisingly quiet and the wand length makes it comfortable to use. I looked at other brands at prices between $179 to $249 and they weren't the quality of the Lumina I purchased at Aldi.
Compact and light(yet sturdy), easy to pull around. I was surprised at the quality for the price of $99. Surprisingly quiet operation.
Haven't found a problem to complain about yet.
