avoid this product – Complete hassle to get extra filters. if you're like me, and after a little while the filter needed changing and it takes forever to figure out how to order, only to realized you have to order through phone where you have to repeat everything twice in NATO alphabet. the shipping costs is stupidly expensive so kinda pushed for extra consumption of… Read more
these not so cheap filters. once ordered you realize they get your card right but unable to know if they got the order right as nothing is sent, warned, etc.
after a long while I did get the filters only to realize I gave the wrong digit in the product code so I received the wrong filters. I could send it back at my cost but given I had already removed the plastic on one it would barely make me 15 dollars back, essentially it netted me a loss of $115 dollars.
if this had an actual functioning webpage line they've been saying they will for years (guess what, they won't) or actually send me the bill like they said they would (they ended up having my email correct but just decided to not send any proof of purchase or receipt, or have shipping cost at a normal rate I perhaps could have saved a dollar.
it's quite disappointing as ALDI products usually are trustworthy but sterling is just trash, that they don't even accommodate at all for filter purchases is just more evidence that their initial goal is duping the customer in a single purchase.
Ewaste – Replacement filters cost $90 from Tempo. This is the same price as the whole item. Therefore the sensible option is to throw the whole unit in the garbage and create piles of ewaste. I will never buy an Aldi/Tempo/Stirling appliance with consumable parts ever again, if this is the level of after sales "service" they provide. Disgusting. Show details
Service May Need A Fix – My Aldi air purifiers yes more than one was purchased back in 2020 was good until I had to replace the filter in one.Price of the purifiers was $150 each and to get a new filter was in the $90 to $100 range delivered.The filter has never arrived as Aldis service Center I contacted several times informed me that it was bush fires or flooding.Three years on I am now going to call them once again. I will report back. Show reply
Think seriously before buying anything electrical from Aldi – Filter lasted a month in a normal bedroom and then I could not find a replacement filter. Then I found out that even if I could find a filter it cost $68 dollars which is half the cost of the actual machine. The Product came out when the virus first hit the community so it really made sales based on fear in the community and the lack of those on… Read more
the lowest incomes to being able to buy air cleaner, if they could even find them. I suffer from asthma and a rare lung condition called Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH). I stopped using it after warning light went on after a month so not enough time to evaluate. Asked if I could get refund and got told it must be my fault as bedroom must have been dirty. My pet is a poodle who gets groomed every six weeks and does not shed. The carpet was recently replaced. Not first electrical good brought from Aldi that needed replacing in short time sadly so finally decided to no longer buy any goods under concept of Special buys. I was the last one standing in my group who believed. Sad really as really wanted Aldi to give the other two a run for the money. This review is late due to medical treatment.
My acute sinusitis was immediately relieved – I purchased this unit in September 2020 for$149. It was so inexpensive I was not expecting too much...but it made an immediate difference . I went and bought another. In 2020 I could not get through to the number given for buying spare filters but now have done so through Tempo - Aldi's new contracted Customer Service company - and ordered the… Read more · 1
filters. ALDI website doesn't make it easy to find the number so I give it here...Tempo Australia 1300 886 649.
Five stars for the efficacy of the unit....1 star for the initial lack of customer service...3 stars for this year's customer service, which is good but difficult to find!
Excellent going strong for three years – Everyone who is wondering if you call Aldi they can order you a replacement filter over the phone comes in a week without a problem wasn’t hard to work that out Show details
For everyone that needs a replacement filter: – I recommend buying the "Flintar TT-AP002 H13 True HEPA Replacement Filter" from Amazon. Stirling distributes the same air purifier as VAVA and TaoTronics so you can buy their replacement filters. Show details
Unable to purchase replacement filter – I've contacted tempo since I bought it last year and they've replied multiple times that the replacement filter is still unavailable at this moment. They offered me full refund and asked me to returned the product. It's a shame it worked well and I've been using it 24/7 for the past few months but just unable to get replacement filters. Just buy other bigger brand purifiers with easy access to replacement filters. Show details
Excellent product – Extreme hayfever sufferer and Asthmatic and used as directed in an enclosed room i find this product worked very well. Great value for a great result. Very easy to operate. Show details
Worth every penny – Simple, elegant, lightweight, quiet and very effective, at least for one room. If left on, it purifies the air in an entire small house, but for a larger house you'd need more than one or a bigger unit Show details
