ALDI Stirling Overlocker
Verified3 reviews
Still going strong after 14 years! – I bought the Aldi Sterling overlocker back in 2009. It was the last one - reduced to $99. It has been a truly great workhorse - only needing oiling and lint cleaning on the occasion and very easy to thread. I’ve flogged this machine with years worth of use and it still keeps going. I also haven’t had to change the cutting blade much to my surprise, it’s also never had to be fixed or had parts replaced with or without warranty. I previously had the Janome 134D and found the Aldi Sterling to be exactly the same build and look. I always recommend the Aldi Sterling overlocker and have had friends buy it when it is advertised for sale. If I had one wish - it’s that it had coverstitch included but for what it’s worth and the years of use I’ve had, it’s definitely a fantastic little machine.
Purchased at ALDI for $99.

Terrible – Used it for 20 minutes and it just stopped working. I mislaid my receipt to no warrenty!

Great overlocker – There has been so much negative about the Aldi overlocker that I wanted to put this post up. I went to Aldi yesterday just to see what the overlocker was like. When I got there they only had 2 available so on impulse I grab one and must say I am impressed. I have own an old janome ezy lock for year, it a great machine but it's a pain to thread. The Stirling opens up fully for a very easy threading. I have only sewn cotton so far but I'm impressed and so glad I took the leap without thinking yesterday. The inside are metal so should last.
