ALDI Handheld Vacuum

Not the best – Can not find filter replacements anywhere. Got it for my 10yr old to play with and use to clean up her art messes. Yet wasn't the best idea. Lost filter and can't find anything that works. Show details

Helpful and Easy – Great little vaccine, it’s easy to use and so helpful, very light weight, and easy to carry! Great for getting into small spaces and in between the couch cushions, also great for wet and dry spillages, excellent value for money Show details

Love it Great lil portable vacuum – I must say that I really really love this little handheld portable vacuum cleaner. I purchased it about 5 or 6 months ago and was very surprised how well it works in a section on it works really good too as I have five cats and one dog and I would have never known the amount of hair honestly that they shed until I used this portable vacuum. Show details

Excellent little vacuum – This is a great little handheld vacuum and I highly recommend it. Aldi can sometimes be a bit hit and miss with their electricals, but with this product they have excelled. Its well designed,its reliable and most importantly its super efficient at vacuuming small areas. I have previously had 3 other different brands over the years, but their… Read more

suction and reliability has been very poor compared to this one. Its still going strong after almost a years use and its now one of my most favourite home products.

Got a refund – It was very hard to understand instructions. I have a tiled floor. I still felt it was sucking up properly. I didn't feel it was strong enough for where we live near the beach I could still feel sand under foot Show details

Suction not quite strong enough – I’ve used this vacuum on different flooring and found the suction is not strong enough for carpet. It also overheats after about 5 minutes, rendering the unit useless for vacuuming a normal home. Show details

Bit sluggish but OK – My downstairs is tiles and the upstairs is laminated floorboards - I found it very sluggish and didnt really pickup much - had to go over the floors after a vacumn with a broom - threw it out and bought another brand from Harvery Norman Show details

Experiencia – I got more than 4 years and still work good the only thing I need a new filter but I can not find it. I love everything from Aldi I got tiles in my floor Show details

Horrible! Very disappointed! – I was excited to try and use, but unfortunately mine would not even charge. I am very disappointed. The red light never even flashed to indicate it was charging. Power button also was very hard to move the switch.  Show details

Hopeless. No suction. Hard to empty. Will be returning – Tried on Cupboards, hard wood floor, tables, couch etc. Didn’t even bother with carpets. Performed badly on all surfaces. Hard to empty. Just gave up and pulled out my bulky 10 year old Dyson instead. Show details

Disappinted – Was keen to buy this as have had a number of handheld cleaners. This got occasional use but found the button wouldn’t activate the product. 3 year warranty but was refused an exchange or repair with product suppliers. Only money back if I had a receipt despite evidence of purchase on bank statement. Lost faith in Aldi’s electrical products though lots of other good stuff Show details

Convenient – Aldi portable vaccum is pretty convenient to use.it is wireless and light. Cleaning it can be a bit of a challenge but as an overall it is a good product and ended up buying another one for my mother which she loves too

It only charged once. Wouldn't charge again – The first use was great after following the initial charging instructions. It hasn't charged since and i cannot work out why. It was brilliant when it worked and i used it to pick up little bits around the house and on my sofas. Show details

Love it .. life saver specially when u have little children – I absolutely love it and I have been using it everyday since I have a little kid who leaves traces everywhere specially that it is very light and it has good suction power too. Show details

Very cheap and so far very useful – Purchased on the weekend and just steam cleaned 35 sq m of textured floor tiles. I used to need two buckets, a bristle brush and a mop to do this job. It was tiresome, messy and required a lot of input from me. The steamer was easy and surprisingly efficient. Because the tiles are textured I thought I would need to apply a lot of pressure to the… Read more

cleaner but this was only necessary on the heavily soiled areas. I replaced the mop head the same times I filled the water reservoir and that seemed fine. The mop heads clean easily under running water. I used the highest steam level because I had let the tiles get too dirty so their was some residual water on the tiles. These dried within the hour. I will now do the rest of the floor, another 20 sq m. Due to the ease of use I will probably be a bit more frequent in cleaning and so need less steam. If it lasts two years then $40 well spent. Then again it has a two year warranty so maybe I will have a new unit every two years:-) I then tried it on some carpe and it was not successful. It is only for tiles and maybe epoxy coated timber.

Doesn't always work – This mini portable vacume doesn't always work well. Sometimes on Lino it dose a great job but on carpet it can't pick up any thing. The battery seems very short and charges for hours. Aldi said nothing wrong with it but it's not working I think properly and not happy with it  Show details

This is a great vacuum cleaner – It’s a very powerful and reliable vacuum cleaner. We use it to vacuum our tile, timber floors and carpet.There used to be a large vacuum cleaner in the house. I broke it carelessly.The first time I bought a small vacuum cleaner. Feel great suction. Good value for money and easy to carry. A satisfying shopping.Next time will continue to buy.  Show details

Good little handy vac – Been using this the last year and it gets very good results. Its a powerful little sucker (geddit? vacuum, sucker) and it works well. I mostly have been using it to keep the carpet clean in the car and its very good for this job, easy to clean too. Will it last? Who knows but it came with a reasonable guarantee  Show details

Very Average Device – I was pretty pleased with this when we bought it - it was excellent for spot cleaning and with two messy children there are ample opportunities to use it. Fast forward two years later - the battery barely runs for 3 minutes on a charge before needing a full recharge. Not exactly durable! It still looks new and now barely runs. Not happy!  Show details

Love the DustBuster – I love this product...i have had it for over a year now however, i have found that there is one problem...if you use the dust buster for too long it can over heat and turn itself off. But not to worry, it will start working again once it has cooled down.  Show details

Good for clean ups - short batterry life – This is a decent little handy vac but it would be alot better if the battery went for longer per charge. Its over a year old now and as others have noted, the battery has just about had it. It runs for maybe three minute and it dies now. Just enough time to do a very quick clean up and that's it. It was definitely better when it was new. I am still going to rate it as "good" though because it is a good design and we have had good use from it.  Show details

Hmm OK not the greatest – Was better when it was new. Whatever crappo battery it has inside has not lasted and it struggles to keep a usable charge these days. I can do the front and back car carpets if I am quick but it used to go much longer. Suction is OK when its running and it is easy to empty. Expect 12 months tops if you but it new but no more. Then again it was only $29.95  Show details

useless – waste of time, money, and waste of everything. the only good thing about aldi is refunding on unsatisfactory products but still too much hassle. I purchased it with the motive to use for my car as I cannot use my other vacuum but had no suction. overall aldi is not a place for such appliances.  Show details

Handy Little Car Vacuum – I use this exclusively in the car. We have lots of little sticky leaves -- especially at this time of year and I have to vac out the carpeted area nearly daily as they stick to my shoes. This is perfect for the task. its fast to whiz around and easy to empty. Holds a good charge too. I am happy with this and would buy i again if I needed it.  Show details

Does the job! – I have a family with three little kids always making a bit of a mess, this resulted in my needing to buy something small. In short, it is wonderful, does everything you need and the battery is also long lasting for the suction power it has. Again, Aldi has offered a great bargain to homes and families. I recommend it.  Show details

Perfect – I am very happy with this purchase. This is very light weight and the performance is good as well. I use this for small areas like sofa , rugs etc. It takes some time for the charging. I bought this for only $30 and i think that's very good price.  Show details

Great product for the price, good suction, use it every day – This is an Aldi product, portable vacuum cleaner. It has a 3 year warranty, so I felt confident in buying it to at least try it out. Operating time on full charge is 20mins, heaps of time to vac the whole tiled area in the house. Output voltage 9.6V, strong enough for all the grit and bits and pieces that accumulate on the floor. I've had it for several months now and no problems at all. Highly recommend it.  Show details

This is no Dyson, but – Lumina portable vac 50889. Bought this last week because I need a cheap handheld vac. This could be a different model than those reviewed here before but I expect the quality would probably be the same for the low price. It is true that the suction is very poor even when it is new, fully charged, and the filter not dirty at all. However, there is… Read more

a reason for this fault, IMHO. The issue I found is the vac claimes to be a wet and dry. The filtering air flow has therefore to go an indirect route and the filter itself must protect the motor from any liquid contamination. Hence the poor suction experienced. I took out the original filter and replace it by the type of filter one normally puts in front of the fan housing in a kitchen range hood. Cut the filter to size to cover the area where the motor housing joins the filter housing. You will find that suction improves remarkably when the appliance is fully charged and this modification applied. One drawback still is the battery would last maximum of 10-15 min. of operation but somewhat expected for using cheap NiCad in the device. This is certainly no Dyson handheld (costing several hundred dollars) but it won't break the bank either. It is good for light cleaning of the car and tidy up bathrooms for hairs on the floor tiles, bath tubs etc. It will be no good for picking up liquid spills in general.

I think for $30 it is OK if you do the slight modification stated above. In an ideal world I would buy a Dyson handheld if I can afford it, but I can't.

Sucks well – I bought one second hand it sucks better than other brands so I don't know what people are complaining about if people cleaned the filters they would find the vacuums would suck.4 stars plus Don't buy ones that have a built in charger they don't give enough power for good performance buy ones that use 240 volt power they really suck good. Easy to use Nothing

TERRIBLE and painful – It only took one minute for me to realise this product is positively terrible. It barely sucked anything up - it was if I was using the brush to move crumbs from one place to another, it was louder than my motorbike and heated up so quickly that I could hardly hold it. The promise of what it could be Everything - the entire purpose of existing of a vacuum cleaner

Lumina portable Vacuum Cleaner KB-8005 – Different to the model shown, but people searching may find this. Very poor suction, it picked up a few crumbs but nothing else. This was on Day 1 brand new, clean filter. I'd hoped it would be useful for vacuuming the stairs.I plan on taking it back to ALDI for a refund. Quite heavy too. pathetic suction

Garbage – Tried this in my car and it didn't pick anything up. After 5mins it only had a few specks of dust in it. It was only $30 but its $30 down the drain. Show details
