Default Aldi vacuum cleaner filter

Anyone bought a vacuum cleaner from Aldi before?
I bought a bagless Lumina 12 months ago.
It needs a new filter.
Ebay has some listed but they cost almost as much as what I paid for the vacuum.

Anyone know where to get a filter for a reasonable price?

PS. Ebay aint what it used to be.
Im not sure ebay ever was that great actualy.

Hi. I would take the vacuum cleaner back to aldi as it must be faulty, for what they cost the life span is only 6 months. Cheers MD

We have 3 printers because of this.
Buying a brand new printer, taking the ink out and then selling the printer cheap is much cheaper than just buying ink.

I wouldn't expect much use out of any appliances or electronic goods from Aldi. Most of it is cheap and nasty second rate junk.

I've had a couple of ink jet printers and got sick and tired of being ripped off with expensive cartridges which seem to need replacing every second week.
Turfed it and got myself a good quality laser printer. Cartridge is about $120, but it's been about 18 months now and still haven't had to replace it.

This is the problem with all the cheap imported rubbish, it either doesn't last or you get stitched up when it comes to parts or consumables, or it just falls to bits.
I recently bought a fancy wallet that you can run over with a car, I had it for a week and then the plastic hinge fell to bits ........ I didn't even get to run it over with my car !

Just like Bunnings and Masters. But ALDI charge you less for it.
