Thread: $89 Aldi shop vac is back

I've just got a heap of left over bags, that happen to fit. I wasn't sure about the bagless thing, so tried out the shop vac bags.

The vacs can run with bags or bagless. I use bags when vacing up stuff like MDF & plaster dust as it dramatically increases the life of the vac and is alot better on your lungs when you empty it.

Thanks for that - Not really sure about how I will fit a bag as mine has a deflected inlet and just a large open chamber - my old Karcher vac has a place to fit a [very expensive] bag.

Carnes Hill (syd) still had a few vacs left, and on clearance for $69!!

and here i was rushing out to get one thinking it would sell out fast!!

Still two pallets of vacs sitting at Aldi Eltham (Vic) as of today. At full price though.

I saw a post here somewhere that explained which Ryobi filter cartridge would work with the Aldi shopvac. Anyone know where that post is?

Thanks,

Craig

Flicking through todays junk mail.

Aldi has the vac onsale Sat. 9th June, still $89.

I sell bags and filters for one Taurus model.
Is someone can send me the dimensions of the filter for this one, I'll check against the others we carry to see what suits.

Taurus Vacuum cleaner bags. Buy vacuum bags for Kirby, Hoover, Miele, Bosch, Wertheim

Cheers,
Paul

Judging from the pictures in the catalog, this is the same vac as my Vacmaster 30L

If that is the case, i found that a short piece of 1 3/8" (35mm) radiator hose makes a perfect adaptor from 35 to 32mm fittings.
