My Aldi had one EASY HOME upright vac in unopened box marked down to $27.99. Couldn't resist. I try to post pics when hubby isn't around (something about too many vacuums too little use) |

Husky, yep that's the one. Do you think it's worth $27.00? (It's cheaper than a new tech drive for the Kirby!) |

For $27 brand new, that's the cheapest you can get an upright vacuum that isn't a toy, yes. But it isn't without its flaws. It doesn't have the power to pull deep and it just feels flimsy. The brushroll also doesn't go totally to the floor on low pile carpet so I think they only made it for your standard "realtor beige" generic carpet. It really only gets the surface. A Kirby will outlast it by far.
It works good enough for the price of a pizza, but I just really don't like it. I got it more for the novelty than anything else. Not too often department stores invent their own vacuums. It fits in with my other misfits like the Sunpentown and Garry. |

If you can afford it or you find it on markdown, their more powerful bagless vac is a great improvement over the CJ598.
The belt snapped on mine after getting the brushroll tangled on a rug earlier this month, but I suspect the belt is a pretty common size. It has great suction power though despite its loudness. It really shines when using the hose, I used it to clean out my kitchen cupboards and ended up with an entire cup 3/4 full of dirt, hairs, and fine particulates. |
