ALDI Power Force Tornado Cleaning Brush

Replace the battery and it works! – This brush was inexpensive to buy and only cost about $30. It has 3 brush attachments, and makes cleaning the bathroom a lot easier than scrubbing everything by hand. Unfortunately it seems that the manufacturer has cut costs by using a cheap and low powered battery. It worked for a while, but would quickly run out of power, and stop dead. I put… Read more

up with this until it completely failed to hold a charge and would run out after about 5 minutes. I decided to take it apart and look for a replacement battery. After doing some research I found that it's a standard lithium-ion battery. I bought a replacement (with soldering tabs) which cost about $20, almost as much as the brush itself. The replacement has a decent recharge rating of 2600mAh. I had to solder the battery board off the original battery, and onto the new one, which took about half an hour. Obviously this is probably going to be difficult for most people to do, but if you feel confident to do it the brush will have a renewed power source. I find that it's more powerful now than it ever was with the original battery, and doesn't seem to run out of charge.

Worked 3 times before dying – Don't waste your time or money. 1st brush I bought didn't have a charger in the box. Took it back and got another one which died on the 3rd use, 2nd charge. The black plastic button also broke. Flimsy and useless. Shame really because it worked well when it worked! Show details

Disappointed – Purchased August 2023 - this model has changed from the previous one a few years ago, this one is powered by a USB power port, and the head has adjustable angle positions. - used first time today (2 weeks after purchase), and the connect button on handle popped off when pushing on the attachment head - managed to re fix the button, however the… Read more

connecting arm kept coming off stopping the charge. This model is not as solid as the previous model, poorly made, stiff to attach the attachments. Very disappointed. Will be returning it today to store as a faulty item.

Don't buy it – Poorly assembled ,buyer stay away from this product,waste of money Show details

Disappointed don’t buy – Used twice now it won’t hold charge. Goes for about 30 seconds and turns off Disappointing buy and will return mine Show details

Alternative charger – Having read the reviews, I wish I had read them before purchasing - HOWEVER my brush would not charge. So I tried a direct power point charger instead of the USB one provided, luckily I had one for an old radio. So far this seems to have worked.

Would be ok if it actually worked! – Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this from Aldi from their special buys. Have bought stuff from Aldi special buys before and everything has been great for the price so didn't think this would be any different. Charged the unit for the recommended time before use. It worked for 1 min before running out of power. Thought perhaps it… Read more

might have been the USB adapter I used, maybe it didn't charge properly. Tried a different adapter and charged it for another few hours. Turned on for half a minute and then died again. Checked all the connections were clicked in properly just in case but still nothing. So disappointed.

Waste of money – First time use. Lasted 7/8 minutes...appears motor disconnected from drive shaft. Motor running but no rotation of the brush. Can hear it gurgling away but nothing happens.... Show details

Load of Rubbish – Bought this over a year ago. It worked once. I put it in the shed. Found it yesterday and thought I would give it another go. Showed as charged but nothing happened. Still does not work! Show details

Weak - And average results – Very weak power and performance. I was very hopeful this was going to be a good tool but was mistaken.would not buy again even if a new "improved" model comes along. Show details

Very poorly made – Totally regret buying this item. It seemed like a good price but don’t be fooled… it’s not worth the cheaper price. Like they say, “penny wise, pound foolish” - that really describes purchase of this product. Don’t waste your money. Pay a bit more and get a reasonable product. Too difficult to change brush heads, attachments don’t fit in properly,… Read more

etc, etc. All in all, a poorly made product. No point buying this item and then having to throw it away. Save the environment and your money !

Better than I originally thought – After charging 22 hours, the unit wouldn't turn on and the on/off switch wouldn't work. Then, when it did start, it only stayed on for about 5 seconds each time. After a bit more charging and many more attempts, I took it apart to pack it up in the box to return to it to Aldi. Then I thought I'd have one more try and I'm so glad I did! The secret… Read more

is in the way the parts are connected together and the connections are really pretty sensitive. You absolutely must push each connecting part very firmly and make sure you hear a click for each one. I found it then worked well. When using it, the connected parts may occasionally move slightly out of place (silently) and the power cuts out, but you just give the connections a firm push together and all is well again. It has done a very good job on the grouting in bathroom, toilet and laundry. As my reason for purchase was for tile grouting, I have only used the smaller grout/corner brush at this stage and fortunately that is the easiest one to get on and off. The flat brush and dome brush are very difficult take on and off and if you have arthritic thumbs, you won't manage the "wiggle and pull" that it requires. Even my husband had trouble doing this. Although this product was only available at Aldi briefly two weeks ago, it will probably be back again next year.

Waste of money – This is one of the most useless things I have purchased. There is no power to it. Tried to do the shower recess and it just kept turning off as soon as I put a bit of pressure on it. Complete waste of money. Show details

Weak as a Wet Paper Bag – Absolutely NO power at all. Any pressure placed on the Brush heavier than just resting weight will Shut the Motor off!! Even after a Full Charge. (Useless!!). Head attachments are ridiculously hard to remove to the point that i ended up hurting myself when it finally came off. This product is absolutely of "NO" use as a Motorised Cleaning… Read more

product! I categorize this product as a Toilet Brush with an extended Handle, It's not good for anything else. Product is being returned for a refund.

Also be aware of Aldi's Credit card payment policy. If you pay by Eftpos Card (VISA) you WILL be hit with a surcharge of .50% because some cards such as Visa charge Aldi a service fee for your Transaction using said Card. It does NOT matter that it is an Eftpos Card and not a Credit Card but you will still get the Surcharge anyway. Aldi says it is part of how they keep their prices so low but they are the ONLY shop i know of still passing on the Fee to their Customers!! Coles and Woolworths do NOT charge you and to be honest Aldi's prices are not as cheap as they like to tell everyone. So this Surcharge pass to the Customer is just pathetic!!

Crap Product.. Not so good Company Policies. Aldi... hmm yes different.

Successfully remove the dirt on the floor and stairs – I always have dirty timber stairs and floor. I use it to clean the dirt out from the timber and floor. Then vacuum and mop the floor. Now is all clean. Save my time to do it by hand. The worst thing is hard to changing the brushes head. Show details

Soooo weak – After 20 hours of charging as per instructions I was so disappointed when I used this. It was so weak and any pressure stopped it spinning. Changing the brushes is extremely hard and needs a good solid grip to pull apart. None of the 3 brushes do much cleaning on our tiles, shower or grout. After such hype I am so disappointed. Show details
