ALDI Handheld Steam Cleaners

Good cheap steam cleaner I've n]been waiting to get – I got a Lumina at a second hand shop and is working great. I didn't want to waste money on a new one if they turned out to be useless. One fill up lasts for ages and I have used it in tricky to clean corners and around car engine bay and under my motorhome to clean off a couple of decades of grease build up. It's not magic but it helps a lot. If it fails, well it only cost 8 bucks. Show details

Did you read the instructions? – Mine is ok bought it second hand at an op shop. One of the first things I had to do was descale the steamer with vinegar. If you look inside with a torch (make sure unplugged first) you’ll see a ton of white mineral buildup. This can cause issues with pressure and if pressure has no where to go then it’ll leak. Also I notes here from other reviews… Read more

that it seems many people have not read the instructions at all. The instructions clearly state that the light will come on and once the steamer is heated to desired temperature it will turn off (it will not turn green or any other colour) also there is a lock and unlock button on the handle if it’s locked then no you can’t remove the lid for safety reasons if it’s unlocked and you have removed the wall socket plug then yes you can remove the lid, again this is in the instructions. The spinning lid means nothing it just means the device is turned on and you have locked the lock button. My only issue is that after using it for 40 seconds the light comes back on then you need to stop using it and wait for the light to turn back off again so it’s heated again to desired temperature.

Never worked – Today we bought the Aldi handheld Steam Cleaner,after unpacking and filling with 1 cup of distilled water I plucked the Device in switched it on , the orange light lit up and I waited for the green light to come on to show that it is ready. But this did not happen.Instead after a while there was a big Bang , Water discharged from the Filler Cup… Read more

and the House Power Circuit Breaker switched off . I tried it once more but now it blows the circuit breaker straight away.Since it has a 3 Year Warranty we will return it to the Store Tomorrow.We have not had much luck with Electrical Items from Aldi but at least they have a decent Warranty.

Unsafe – Leaked water everywhere, blew the home safety switch. Had water coming out of the power cord and handle become to hot to hold , obviously problems with water getting into electrical system, but otherwise good product. Show details

Found it in garage 5 days after 3 year warranty expired – Bought this in April 2019. Didn’t use it then and it ended up in a box in garage under another item. Found it today just as I was thinking of buying a $399 Karcher steamer from Bunnings. Used it this morning to get dirt out of shower grout and crud in corners of bathroom tiles. Works ok and got the grout and corners clean. Will try it on weeds popping up between pavers later on. Show details

Wish I'd read the review first – Worked once. Then cap became lose and could not be tightened. Returned for full refund. Disappointed with the product. It makes me want to think twice about Aldi products. I noticed when I returned the steamer it said Two month warranty on bottom of receipt. That should have been a warning! It lasted one day. Show details

Wish I had read reviews first – Pulled it out of the box, followed instructions on filling, attaching, made sure cap was on properly per instructions, switched it on to heat up, started to make the usual noises you get with steam cleaners indicating water is heating, then a "pop" sound. It stopped heating, light went off & cap is no longer firmly fitted but spinning freely both ways & won't come off. Given the other poor reviews, it's not worth the money. Show details

Hand held steam cleaner – I have just thrown mine in the bin! It was useless cleaning grout. A few days later …. I thought I’ll try it on the windows-couldn’t get the top off to refill it, neither could my husband. Sadly I couldn’t find my receipt to return…$30 in the bin, but I’d rather that than the frustration it caused me. Dreadful product. Show details

Disappointing – Ergonomics very poor, not good for anyone with thumb issues. Performance average to low, barely did anything compared to other steam cleaners I've used. Will be returning to store within a few days. Show details

Absolute useless steamer – Only lasts about 5 minutes could only clean couple of tiles in shower then had to wait at least another 5 minutes to refill at this rate you would take hours to clean a shower - it went back  Show details

Very disappointed – You have to only use 1/2 cup of water which was included, I only got to clean one tile before I had to refill,would have taken me all day to clean a room  Show details

This product is not at all useful – This product is difficult to use. It is quite heavy once filled with water and holding the on button to operate is difficult so you end up with a very sore thumb and hand. I have only managed to clean a small section of the shower recess before the steamer ran out of water. You cannot refill the steamer until the unit cools down which takes… Read more

considerable time. I don't want to spend hours using the steamer to clean an area that I could do in 30 minutes. Have kept my receipt so will be returning the product.
