Aldi £39.99 Cordless Vacuum Price, Specs & Where to Buy

Aldi’s Cyclonic Stick Vacuum Cleaner is £39.99, it went into stores on Thursday 20 August 2026, and a day later not one of the 32 stores we checked had it listed as fully in stock.

It is a Specialbuy, which means no restock promise, no online ordering, and a price that has quietly fallen by a tenner over two years.

How much is Aldi’s cordless vacuum, and why do you keep seeing £49.99?

£39.99 on Aldi’s listing as of 21 August 2026. The £49.99 and £44.99 figures are real too, but they are from 2024 and 2025.

This is the trap with a product that returns every year under the same name: the coverage stacks up and the prices in it never expire. Here is what Aldi has actually charged, with the date attached to each one.

So the price has come down, not up, and £39.99 has now held for two runs. The rule to take away is simply to check the date on anything you read about a Specialbuy — the product name is stable, the price is not, and a two-year-old article looks exactly like a current one in search results.

Aldi’s listing also carries its standard note that prices online may differ from prices in store.

What are the Aldi cordless vacuum’s specs?

Six bullet points on Aldi’s own listing, and that is genuinely all of them.

Two things are worth pulling out of that table.

The charge-to-run ratio is about nine to one. Five hours of charging buys up to 32 minutes of cleaning, and “up to” on a vacuum normally means the lowest power setting. If you have a whole house to do, plan around one charge per session rather than topping up between rooms.

There is no suction figure. Aldi publishes 3,000 Pa for its robot vacuum on a neighbouring page and nothing at all here, so there is no way to compare this vacuum against a Dyson, a Shark or Aldi’s own robot on paper. Anyone quoting a suction number for this model is not getting it from Aldi.

What the 2025 press release said, and why it is not in the table

Aldi’s own press release from April 2025, for the £44.99 version, described a 550 ml washable dust container, crevice and brush attachments, two power levels (eco and maximum), a longer tube and conversion into a handheld vacuum.

None of that appears on the listing for the unit on sale now. It may well still be true — this is very likely the same machine — but Aldi is not currently saying so, and a 2025 press release for a differently priced version is not evidence about what is in this year’s box. If the attachments matter to you, that is a question for the packaging in the aisle.

Where do you actually buy the Aldi cordless vacuum?

In a shop. There is no online option at all.

This is the part most “where to buy” write-ups get wrong by omission. Aldi’s product page for this vacuum has no add-to-basket button, no delivery option and no click-and-collect. The only action it offers is “Check in store availability”.

Use the stock checker before you drive anywhere. It takes a postcode and returns nearby stores with one of three states — Available, Limited or Sold Out — and Aldi attaches its own warning that this is an estimate rather than a live count.

⚠️ One more thing about links. Last year’s page for this vacuum still exists in plenty of articles and deal posts, and it is dead: Aldi returns a “permanently removed” error for it. This year’s return was given a new listing number, and the old address does not redirect to it. If a link takes you to an Aldi error page, the product is not necessarily gone — you are just holding last year’s address.

Can you still get one?

A day after launch, not comfortably. Nothing we sampled showed full stock.

We put five postcodes through Aldi’s own checker on the afternoon of Friday 21 August and recorded every store it returned.

The checker is capable of saying “Available” — it just did not say it about this vacuum. We ran the same tool against Aldi’s £12.99 Mini Food Chopper as a control. At the Leytonstone store it returned Available for the chopper and Limited for the vacuum; at Belper, Limited for the chopper and Sold Out for the vacuum. Same widget, same stores, minutes apart, different answers — so this is a real read on the vacuum rather than a tool stuck on one setting.

Cardiff was the best of the five, with seven of ten stores showing limited stock rather than none.

Note also that the vacuum’s page describes itself as in stock in its underlying data while the store checker shows sold out at the nearest shop. The two are answering different questions — one is about the product line, the other about a specific building — and when they disagree, the store checker is the one that decides whether you go home with a vacuum.

⚠️ A Belfast postcode returned no stores at all from the checker, so Northern Ireland readers cannot use this route.

Is the £39.99 vacuum the same as Aldi’s £69.99 robot?

No — and they landed on the same day, in the same range, which is exactly why people are mixing them up.

Aldi’s Student Home drop on 20 August contained 23 products, and the first two were both vacuums.

The robot is the one with published numbers; the stick vacuum is the one you can steer. If you have carpet and stairs, the £39.99 is the relevant product, because Aldi describes the robot as suited to hard floors and no robot does stairs.

Two more items on Aldi’s Specialbuys shelves right now get confused with these at a glance:

• Ferrex Manual Sweeper, £39.99 — identical price, but it is a push sweeper for garden leaves, not a vacuum at all
• Gardenline Electric Leaf Blower, £29.99 — listed by Aldi’s own garden range as a blower/vacuum, but it is for the garden, not your carpet

If you are searching by price, £39.99 at Aldi currently returns both a household vacuum and a garden sweeper. Check the brand: Ambiano is the home range, Ferrex and Gardenline are the outdoor ones.

Bottom line

At £39.99 this matches the lowest price Aldi has put on this vacuum in three years, with a 32-minute runtime, a 5-hour charge, a motorised LED floor head and a 180° swivel, in black or white.

Buying it means going to a shop — there is no online route — and checking your store first, because a day after launch the checker showed limited or no stock at all 32 shops we sampled. Cardiff looked healthiest; London and Manchester looked thin.

And if you are weighing it against the £69.99 robot that landed beside it, note which one Aldi is prepared to publish numbers for, and which one can do your stairs.
