'It snapped after one use!': Beachgoers share their blunder with famous summer bargain!

As the Australian summer heats up, beachgoers are looking for the perfect items to enhance their seaside experience.

While brand-name cabanas have become a common sight, their price tags could be a bit steep for the budget-conscious beach lover.

Enter ALDI, the beloved grocery chain known for its Special Buys and affordable alternatives.


ALDI introduced its version of the beach cabana, priced at about $69.99.

Since its release, the product caught the attention of shoppers looking for a summer steal.

The ALDI beach cabana has garnered a mix of reviews from customers, with some praising its value for money.

Shoppers have shared their experiences with the cabana on social media.

'I bought one from ALDI about six years ago, and it still works fine. I paid $50 for it,' one shopper shared.

Others echoed the shopper's sentiment, noting that despite being smaller in size, the ALDI version was a welcome addition to their beach outings.


However, a number of ALDI customers also voiced their disappointment with the product.

'We got one last year and it broke after two uses,' a customer lamented online.

'I got it the other day and snapped as it's plastic. They seemed sturdy, but not if they snapped after one use,' another shared.

Some shoppers preferred investing in a more expensive yet more reliable cabana.

'I'd spend the extra money and get a Cool Cabana that will last for years. I've had mine for eight years already!' one beachgoer advised.


For those considering the ALDI beach cabana, it's crucial to weigh the potential savings and the risk of a shorter lifespan.

While ALDI's Special Buys provide great value, expectations should still be managed.

Always read reviews before considering a purchase, especially for items like cabanas.

ALDI, or any retailer, also have their return policies that should let you get a refund or replacement if the product doesn't hold up.
