Bought this to hook up to my timber thicknesses and it works a treat. Cut the top off the bag and taped it around the filter as the bag filled up so quickly so now I just empty the bin and give the outside of the bag a light blow with the compressor Show details
Terrible started smoking . Thought it was going to catch fire . It got very frightened . Ran fast to unplug it. While vacuuming carpet in hallway . Its very light weight . Before the smoke i thought it was an excellent vacuum . Pity . I took it back and got got a refund . Show details
Follow-up · Not sure what caused the smoke. I was just vacuuming my carpeted hallway . Suction was very good powerful . It just started smoking pretty badly from under ?? No smoke from the top part . I got such a fright .. smell not so much . why it happened ??. I still don't know .
Louder than a jet plane with poor suction – It is so loud that it is unbearable. It should come with a warning to wear ear protection. The cord is very short, you have to use it with an extension cord which just creates a snag issue. The suction is quite weak, for all the noise you'd think it would stuck up a planet but instead it's rather weak It tends to to over a fair bit because… Read more
it's a bit top heavy
The hoses are cheap and fairly inflexible
I can't really think of anything positive, the price might be cheap but hearing damage is not worth it
Save your money don't buy it – Build quality is poor, lead is too short,wand and tools cheap and nasty Noisy operation. If your planning to use it in a workshop or a job site save your money and buy some other brand. Show details
Noise unbearable. Should require earmuffs to use. Only used inside once – This vacuum cleaner is so load it could easily be over 100db. It definitely requires the use of earmuffs at it current noise level. Show details
Brilliant for dog hair in particular , excellent suction , wish I’d bought 3 – All , mostly hard surfaces but fine on carpet also light to move , easy to empty , huge holding capacity . For the money it’s my go to over my Dyson every time Show details
Don't bother – As previously stated this vac has little to no suction. Hoses are flimsy and cheap. This unit is destined for the tip, a complete waste of money. Spend a little more and get something that works Show details
This vacuum sucks – This vacuum sucks but not in the way you need! The model is the Aldi branded "Ferrex TVC125". For those who know about power ratings, 1200 watts (rated) means nothing about it's real capacity to pick stuff up off the floor. There is "power input, and there is "power output" which is not stated. At a guess, I would say it's sucking power is around… Read more
700 watts. It does suck, but very weakly. We have a large area of outdoor paving bricks and we get small leaves, dead insects and also sawdust if I have done some woodwork on the verandah. This machine struggled to pick up much of the above and I found myself having to go back over and over the area. The power cord is exceptionally short and the "floor tool" is very flimsy and small. The wand is flimsy plastic but I had a metal one the same size from an old vac so I thought this could be good, but the sucking power of this thing makes it almost useless. I never intended to use it for liquids but gauging from the sucking power it has on dry stuff, it's hard to imagine it would suck up any liquid at all. Save your seventy bucks and be prepared to spend probably double that for an outdoor vacuum cleaner that works well. This one does not ! This one of those Aldi items that should have the "Satisfaction Guarantee", rather than a three year warranty. That way, I could return it which of course I would.
