YES PLEASE: ALDI is selling a $99 cordless vacuum that's a dupe for the fancy Dyson one. 

 

Vacuuming is a boring chore. That’s something we can all unanimously agree on.

But for some reason, a cordless vacuum makes it a little more fun. FACT.

So, luckily for us, ALDI has taken note of this and will be answering our prayers tomorrow.

Want to find other ways to make cleaning easier? Check out these four hacks. Post continues below.

As part of ALDI’s Special Buys on Wednesday, February 5, they are releasing a $99 cordless handheld stick vacuum, that is said to rival that expensive one we want so badly, yet cannot afford. (Yes, of course we’re talking about the Dyson Handstick that would set you back $399.)

In limited quantities, ALDI will be selling the vacuum, the three brush head attachments and a wall-mount for easy storage.

It is great for both carpet and hardwood floors and comes with a three-year warranty.

Tick, tick and tick.

However, there's one little catch.

The Dyson gives you a full hour of charge to vacuum your house, whilst the ALDI version only gives you... 20 minutes.

For some that might be a dealbreaker as it might not cover every surface in one go, but also, let's be serious... who really wants to vacuum for more than 20 minutes?

If you're unfamiliar with ALDI Special Buys, it is an exciting day, filled with fantastic bargains. In the past, sale items have included Thermomix dupes, bathroom appliances and flat-screen TVs.  But with offers as good as these and only limited stock, it comes with manic and mayhem.

So be prepared and ready.

ALDI's Special Buys range will be available on Wednesday, February 5. You can check out the products available here.

I can't believe you said vacuuming is 'boring' - it's like pretzels for me, once you start, you simply can't stop.

First it's the floor, then it's the walls and cob-webs in the corner, then a science experiment to see if it really can hold a bowling ball and moving onto the back-yard for leaves and twigs to really test it's mettle and finally trying it to unclog the sink.

We have a high turn-over of vacuum cleaners in our house for some reason

Sure, it looks like a Dyson - but does it vacuum as well as a Dyson? We already know that the battery life isn't as good. I also wonder about how much they're respecting or perhaps not respecting the patents that Dyson hold for the technology they researched and commericalised. I understand the temptation - I'd really like to buy a Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, and there's a big difference between spending $500 for a real one vs $250 for knock off - but ultimately have chosen to just wait until the real ones actually get cheaper.
