Great vacuum I've had 5 yrs! Must clean regularly – I use this vacuum weekly on both (various) carpet /rugs and hard flooring. It performs admirably. It has never overheated or stopped working. I am methodical in emptying and washing all parts after use as the filters and barrel pick up very fine dust. Without this the vacuum would fail. This is the point of a bag less vacuum. You don't have… Read more
the environmental waste of bags and the extra cost of purchase incurred. However, the machine doesn't self clean!!! It rolls well. and only tips if you don't line it up sensibly whilst using. Sort of like driving a car if you don't take a corner well! The only problem I have encountered is the electrical cord retraction mechanism is engaged in a slow movement as soon as I put the cord out. I have solved this by placing a peg up close to the vacuum for the duration of vacuuming and then pressing the retract button the cord disappears with ease. For a very cheap vacuum I'd give it a big thumbs up. TEMPO appear to be the company contracted to supply Aldi vacuum filters and parts. It is a bit disconcerting that you don't appear to be able to order online or see the filter parts. I contacted them by email and they were very responsive but asked that I order over the phone. There is a warning in small red print at the end of the email about scammers possibly contacting and not to respond. Perhaps they have encountered problems? Anyway the filters seemed reasonable in price - no different to other filter prices - approx $20. I am ordering the filters or perhaps only filter tomorrow. So I can't give feedback on that. So the filters have lasted 5 years too! Overall I'd give it a 5 out of 5 for it's innings and performance.
The vacuum works well – The vacuum cleaner does a reasonable job, but no support from Aldi or Tempo on replacement parts like filters. Contacted both with no luck. Tempo lists all the brands except theirs and Aldi even ignored my query. Show details

COUGHT FIRE-be careful before purchasing it – Purchase this vaccum few month back, today it started smoking all of sudden and than turned into flames, within seconds it was all melted down. I got burns on my feet. I was lucky enough that it did not happened into rooms, otherwise It could have burned my house. I am very disappointed. Show details

Great suction! Works perfectly since years. Read this for cleaning advise! – It's the perfect vacuum cleaner, the best I ever had. Light, small, great suction - the lot! Bought it nearly 3.5 years ago. Yes, I just read all the other comments below about people complaining about bad suction after a while and somebody even buying (with difficulty) a new filter. I never bought new filter for it. But frankly: I expected… Read more
already since years that there would be people having exactly the problem detailed below.
The reason is quite easy: Dust blocks these various filters in there and this reduces suction.
All you need to do, is clean those filters.
You'll probably think: I do! - But no, you do it wrong...:
This is how to clean the filters: With an air-compressor!!!
Blow the dust out of those filters thoroughly with an air-gun (on an air-compressor).
3 filters: The one in the drum, the one under the lid under the drum and the one in the left wheel (turn anti-clockwise) - the hepa filter.
The first two filters I clean every time with the air-gun, the HEPA only about once a year.
Also, obviously check, if your suction-hose in not blocked and the tracts in the vacuum cleaner.
Every now and then you could also clean the sponge in the filter under the drum under running water, but dry it in the sun, before using it again.
Also very important: Do not loose any of the seal-rings! Especially the seal ring on the inside of the top lid comes off very easily - obviously, if you loose the ring, you loose the suction...
Well, Aldi did not write in the manual, that you will need an air-compressor - but you do...
I could not live without one anyway.
old ones are perfect, new version is a waist of money – I got one of the original models, sadly they don't make them like that anymore. purchased mine in 2012. its still going strong in 2017. when the suction is getting bad, I soak the filters over night and its back to perfect again. its also recommended to give them a shake every time you empty the cylinder. I have 3 cats and a dog who are… Read more
inside. i have floor boards in the living areas and carpets in bedrooms. it does get clogged up in the hose with hair if there is too much but if done regularly, its not an issue. a beater bar on the head would also help get the hair out of the carpet but I make do.
I have a spare vacuum in the shed that died this year (2017) and I purchased the new version of this vacuum but alas, its awful. the filters need cleaning after every use, not just a dust, they need a soak in water. I cant get the car fully clean without the filters filling and needing emptying. the suction is similar as the original but it doesn't last. I wish it would hurry up and die altogether so I can get something different. and by the sounds of the reviews, it wont be long...
Why would they change their product when it was perfect to start with?
Bargain priced vacuum that actually sucks, in a good way – Waited for a month or two and saw a bargain Bagless worth a 2nd look. The Aldi store had a pallet of these Easy Home Bagless 2000w beauties. I read and looked and stood there undecided. I asked a store rep, about returns on this model. None that she knew of, and her two year old machine is still going well. Done, and purchased there and then.… Read more
Unpacked and read all the picture manuals and warranty info, scanned them and listed dates/serial details for future reference. Every page even has the support phone number visible.
I found the Manual & Quick Start Guide very informative and opened the various filter and barrel components to learn, test and ensure I could reassemble it easily. No dramas there. All the attachments were included, and easily attached. I even tried my older 'special' attachments that I will never see new again, and they fit also. A quality chromed metal extending tube is easy to use, as is the duel operation floor brush(hard/soft floor). The crevice device & fold out brush works but appears cheap. I placed them all in plastic again, in the box and in the roof as I will use my old faves for now. The hose handle has a 'vacuum power' valve as do most machines and is worth approx 30 % more or less suction.
The 5m (better or equal to avg in length) power cord extends easily, and the yellow safety stop tag is easy to see. The rewind is good to start with, but needed a little guidance for the last 0.5 meter. It is quite compact which is an absolute requirement for us, only taking the space of an average backpack.
The power lever is adjustable via a rotating dial on the handle, which had me worried it was a dud until I found it and upped the wattage to full tote. Impressive difference. The operational noise is there, as expected, and at full 200W power with hose end blocked, it is loud but not unbearable.
Test run on hard floor, no issues, and the felt floor protector functions well, and allows for easy glide. The swivel head and hose handle angle and length is good, was great into corners and under chairs, as expected. Onto the carpet, and a toe flick swapped the head over, and again, no dramas. One to two passes on our average sandy and fluffy mats and carpets had the looking good. If anything, the suction can be too good and a foot hold on the loose mats is required.
Remove the head and the hose is long enough to reach the ceiling, the fans and light fittings, so I was impressed there also. It is not light, at 6.8kg, and stands up on its end to give max hose reach and all is ok.
Now, the cleaning part. it collected so much so quickly, waiting a month to purchase a new vacuum was a mistake. The barrel was ok, 3.5 lit and still less the half full. But the filters, chocka block and needing a good wash, which is excellent. Washable filters are a must to make these economical in time and dollars. The machine has 3 filters, vortex cone and barrel, all cleanable, but the filters will require replacement when worn out or un-washable.
I expect to now use the vacuum once a week, and clean it only every 2-3 weeks. This is up to each individual situation, but I am very happy with that.
Plus to make it all worthwhile, this machine is on $49.99, with a 3 year warranty. I am logical, technical, and heard to please. I pay for quality and reliability, as well as serviceability and running costs. Names mean little, and to a point all these 'features' are going to be tested fairly over next three years, or until it dies a valiant death.
It has only been out of the cupboard twice for approx 45 minutes in total, has functioned exactly as described and so far I am quite impressed. My expectations and comparisons are with previous equipment, including $1000 Electrolux to Wet n Dry and $89 cheapies over last 20 years.
Take 2. 6 years on, still going strong. Used weekly for approx 15min plus the occasional emergency clean up. I simply can not fathom these machines costing hundreds and some over a thousand dollars. Ridiculous!

Great Vacumn! – I have used this for 3 years now. The strongest suction I have found in an inexpensive or any other vacuum. My friend used it today and agreed. She said the best vacuum she has used. She wants one. Show details
Great value for money item – Happy with this purchase. As stated by manufacturer, these units really need regular filter cleaning to be effective. Definitely worth the money and performs on all surfaces... Recommended over other vacuums that cost 4 or 5 times as much. Show details
Vacuum cleaner – This vacuum cleaner is wonderful I love how it picks up dust in the house it's got a good suction I would recommend it to anyone go theere Kmart it's got good products Show details

Smelled bad from first use one month later it blew up emitting acrid smoke. It has now been recalled due to fire hazard – Smelled bad from first use one month later it blew up emitting acrid smoke had to throw out back door before it burned the house down This product has been recalled due to fire hazard https://www.aldi.com.au/fileadmin/fm-dam/pdf/product_recall/Multicyclonic_Vacuum_Cleaner.pdf Show details
Danger!! Fire hazard! Recall it now!!! – Purchased this Aldi vacuum September20 and as stated in some reviews it got very hot after short usage and just cut out. Then as also stated in some reviews one day it just started smoking so fast and rapidly burst into flames it was impossible to control the situation. Threw a fire blanket over it and pulled plug out of the wall and threw it out… Read more
onto the lawn where it continued to burn ferociously until I managed to hit with a hose. Burnt and charred my sofa and an expensive afghan rug. Dripping plastic left burn marks on timber floor. So do I sue ALDI or the manufacturer for damages? Or do I claim on my insurance and face huge increase in next premium? Bottom line DO NOT BUY this product. And why hasn’t it been recalled like the Aldi Stick vacuum????
BE CAREFUL - FIRE HAZARD – Purchased this Vaccum in September. Whilst using it on tiles, the vacuum started smoking a lot and before I could turn it off, it burst into flames. If his had happened on carpet, there could have been serious damage as my house could have burned down. Please be careful whilst using this product. Show details

Great suction, but head falls off every three strokes – Okay on floor boards, has good suction and beat my clapped out old dyson however as soon as I try to vacuum carpet, the head repeatedly falls off. It doesn't "click" on, just pushes on and no matter how hard I push it on, it falls off soon after. I spend half my time vacuuming bending over to push the head back on. Very annoying. Also quite poorly put together with sponges for filters, feels very cheap but it was cheap so.. Show details
lasts for a couple of years if you are lucky – They go ok, I have had two, the first lasted about 4 years, the second only 18months. They just stop suddenly when they get too hot. If you leave them for a few hours they'll go again, no use if you have a house, maybe ok for a small flat. I have to change the filters every 4 weeks (my old Dyson lasted 6 months before the filter needed cleaning). Going back to Dyson. Show details
Zero suction – Worst suction I’ve ever seen in my life. Waste of time and money. Because it won’t suck anything up we basically just put the brush down and use it like a broom. Show details
Waste of time and $. No stars.n – 2000watt easy home cyclonic bought in bendigo 2020 and just found out they were dumping old stock from 2018. Loud as hell and lots of heat but wouldnt pull the cream off milk. No issues with anything getting stuck in it coz nothing would go in. I used it to suck up some plaster dust then chucked it on the rubbish heap. An insult to anyone who sells them. Show details
worst – it broke in 2 months stars and runs for few minutes suddenly stops working not sure what to do with this one now I bought it in aldi dec last year and broke in 2 months Show details
very very good – love it cleans sucks well and great price ! i use it on my tiles to suck all different types of rubbish as i have kids at home they make big mess. it does the job well it even cleans well on carpet i use it in the rooms. i definitely recommend it Show details
Doesn't work at all – This vacuum cleaner does not work well at all. I returned it as quickly as I could. I wouldn't purchase vacuum cleaners from Aldi anymore. I will also be hesitant in purchasing any other products from there but at least they have a good returns policy. Doesn't suck anything up at all. Show details
Do not buy! – Worst ninety dollars I've spent. Suction was decent for less than two months. Wish I could get a refund will most likely contact their support team and see if there is anything I can do. Power Cord is fairly short and is marked for maximum length but the marking rubs off very quickly. Please save your money Show details
Ok I guess – Bought for <$100 and thought it was great to begin with. I found the suction to be fantastic in comparison to my old piece of junk but have noticed that it struggles recently. Cons hair is a killer and I'm just over six foot and find the handle too short Show details

Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner – I have had this vacuum cleaner cleaner for over a year now and still love it. I must admit, it doesn't glide over the floor when pulling it but it's been fine. The suck starts to get bad after awhile of using and I have to do a full clean of it (including washing the sponge etc in the filter) and after that it runs well again. I'm especially happy with the price I paid for it! Show details
High performance and low price – Vacuum timber floor, carpet, rug and tiles... Can adjust heads to suit smooth or porous surfaces. Also can adjust engine power depending on the heavy duty or not, save power. PRICE is good, reliable quality Show details
OK. Not very robust – Used this vacuum cleaner for about 18 months. The thingie broke that joins the vacuum to the hose. Couldn't get a replacement. Chucked it out. Ok value for the $ spent. Show details
Ab fab - Why is it discontinued please bring it back – I have bought two of these machines and have been wwaiting for them to be stocked again. Amazing machines, great suction, hard floors and carpets. They have taken a beating as I clean several apartments with them. I would buy again if they were to be placed back into stores. The hose gets clocgged occasionally, but it is no different to other… Read more
machines I have owned and I have been able to clear oit with relative ease. The filters need to be cleaned regularly, but I am able toi do my whole 4 bedroom home easily in one go. ALDI, please bring it back
Works great first time. Only. That's it – The first time I used this I was so impressed I encouraged my significant other to get one for her house. Second time I used it, it lost a huge amount of suction. I emptied it and cleaned the main filter, still no joy, it was just never as good as that first time, ever again. Maybe 50% as powerful is the 'norm' The pipe size seems to be non… Read more
standard too as no other fittings from other vacuums fit on, this is the first time I've ever had this problem. This was a controlled test because my partner suffered exactly the same fate. She wants her $99 back.... from me!
Yeah the vacuum cleaner works perfectly – I usually use vacuum cleaner in the rugs,carpet .Yeah it works perfectly and smoothly and does not take extra time for cleaning.No till now I haven’t got any issues with the vacuum cleaner. Show details
Cant live without it – I want another 1 please I have had dozens of vacuums and spent hundreds on them i am a professional cleaner by trade vacuums are my fetish i moved to qld 3 years ago and was given this one second hand it out does any vacuum ive used for dust power and picks up almost everything in its path its about 8 years old yes occassionaly it tips over and ive broken a wheel and taped the hose in place i want another one please aldi where can i get it Show details
Good vacuum cleaner – Decent vacuum cleaner but it fills up quite quickly and doesn't have as much power as I'd like. This is our second one, the first one we had to return because the tube fell off but they happily replaced it for us. It was quick easy and most importantly cheap, would purchase again. Show details
Do not buy this item – Worst vacuum ive ever owned. Over heats after 5 minutes, weak plastic making, doesn't glide along at all, flimsy head and shaft, can't use it full stop, boxed and ready to return it today. Worst vacuum ive ever owned.

Stirling Vacuum - Pretty Decent – The build quality of these vacuums is very nice - there was quite a lot of chatter on them on Facebook and I duly lined up and got one with all the others at Aldi. It has a quality feel to the various components and certainly vacs well. As the review below, notes, it's not cyclonic so that wrong but it still develops loads of suction and I am happy with it for the price Show details
Good vacuum but not great – I really liked this when we first got it but less so as time has gone along. First up - it's NOT cyclonic like a Dyson. It's just a motor with a big filter and a duct barrel. The more it fills, the weker it gets. When you have just emptied it, it has quite good power though. Cord length is good and it comes with handy accessories. Its OK Show details
Worst Ever Vacuum Cleaner – Will not restart after 10 - 15 minutes of use for about an hour. Unless you clean the filter every 15 minutes after little use! To return it is a huge job and given it still works even if only for 15 minutes we are unlikely to get a refund. Do NOT recommend this vacuum cleaner. Show details
OK power but weak body – I was quite happy with this when I first used it but the "joy" wore off as I got used to it. Its not really cyclonic - it is just a big filter with a motor behind it and as the dust builds up it loses power so its best to empty it well before the full mark on the body. The dust bin is not all that strong and doesn't seal all that well. Its a "good enough" vacuum for $99 but not great Show details
