ALDI Air Compressors

You get what you pay for – Paid $69.00 and overall does the job but very noisy, Gauge does,nt appear to be that accurate, Hose storage could be better and vibrates when operating Show details

It's fantastic – Worked great and perfectly fine for spray painting and blowing up tyres and air beds and general use blowing leaves out air vents in car I don't have any complaints Show details

Good warranty - crap product – 2nd Aldi upright direct-drive compressor I have owned. The 1st one (Workzone 40L) at least lasted a couple of years before it died. But this one (Ferrex 50L upright air compressor model HC52V) lasted just 7 months. Won't build pressure anymore. Tried to contact Scheppach (who are the support agent listed for it). Their phone number wasn't even… Read more

connected for the first couple of days of trying. Emailed them - no reply. Thought I'd try to call Aldi - no luck as they no longer list a phone number on their website (as least that I could find). Only option was to fill in the Aldi contact us/fault form. Someone from Aldi (definitely offshore) eventually called me to basically tell me "sorry - we'll do something". After some phone tag with Scheppach (their phone works now but it is just an answering service - bad look!), I finally spoke to someone who told me they don't keep the spares I might need so I'd need to lug it back to Aldi for a refund. Luckily I have a photo of the receipt. 5 year warranty (which I think is weird if they have no parts, but hey).

Ya gets what ya pay for.

RIP Mrs Aircom Pressor! I still love you Aldi – To start, let me tell you it was my first love with an first compressor (being equal opportunity and all type of guy) having courted with the idea after I first set eyes on her I plucked up the courage and took her home to meet the family. In the beginning, she didn't disappoint. As a handy man type, she was used minimally. But after about 2… Read more

months I noticed a change in her tone. I didn't think much of it until another couple of weeks where after blowing off for a good while she gave up on me... She was out of puff! I rang the great guys on the Aldi. Support Hotline (Emergency Care) and after an explanation of the symptoms, they said sadly "it was too late!"... "looks like she's blown a piston". It was a terminal illness. There was nothing they could do for my old gal... and she went up to 'compressor heaven' in the sky. Luckily, without hesitation they resurrected my faith in Aldi (being a bit of an Aldi tart if I must say so myself!) and after I offered some details the caring and respectful souls provided a full refund solving any buyers remorse, other than the absolute inconvenience and time. Out of all of the Aldi products I have purchased, other than one problem with a circular saw, I haven't had any issues at all. Maybe she was a lemon from the start and things were just never going to work with her. RIP Mrs Aircom Pressor!

Mine caught fire – On first use, power in, this compressor sounded terrible and smoke belched from it, along with sparks and flame. I stopped using it and will return for a refund. Otherwise it would have been very handy, based on what was included.

Noisy air compressor but does the job – A compact air compressor. It is tightly packed when first purchased, but getting the air hose and power cord back into place is a bit troublesome. Instructions are OK but a bit hard to follow in some places. On board storage for extra bits and pieces. Although how to use some of them escapes me at the moment. Length of air hose and power cord… Read more

should be adequate for most home purposes. The unit is readily easy to handle. Interestingly, it is recommended to operate the pump laying it on a flat surface due to motor vibration. It is noisy. If using it for long periods of time in a confined space, I'd recommend using hearing protection. Compressor is only good up to 8 Bar (100 P.S.I) and I use it for inflating my car and motorcycle tyres. But it has adaptors for inflating a variety of objects from balls to air beds. I haven't tried it on other objects yet, but I suspect that to inflate a larger item, that it may take a bit more time than I expect. It is relatively light weight and if I get a few years use out of it, then I will be happy considering what I paid for it. It comes with ALDI's three year guarantee, but I wonder if it would be worthwhile trying to use it if required.
