Can't believe all this for £699.

If you intend to go to get one, get there before the store opens as there's no telling how many units each Aldi store is going to receive.

here's a review from a reliable source (in german, you may want to run it through babelfish or something, or I can give you a short translation of the most important stuff tomorrow).

I managed to get most of it. Cheers Az.

They sell these at US Aldi's too

[Jon P. Inghram]

I wonder if the Aldi stores here in town get those too?

[Jammrock]

The ones around me advertise that they do, and you're practically within spitting distance from me (Aldi's has a big distribution center in Lenexa).

I thought there were ALDIs only in Germany

Make no mistake, chaoliang: The Albrecht brothers (ALDI = Albrecht Discount) are among the richest people of the planet.

Aldi's is a big international company. Not Walmart big, but big none-the-less. I used to shop at Aldi's in Denmark, and my wife shops at Aldi's here in the US.

Are the aldis outside of germany as bad as they are here? Dirty, very very cheap interior, only one or twocash desks, half hour waits because the queue is so long? Sure, they're cheap and the quality of some of their goods is quite high, but I don't like to shop there.

AZ: Does Bielefeld have Aldi South or North? Aldi North in Germany must be some what better. I rarely buy anything from them neither. Well, one thing: the writable CDs. Maybe they are only good for some computer stuff? At least in Germany. Even Lidl is better. Are there Lidls in other countries?
