Aldi or Lidi ?

Yep, fine for occasional use - I have three around, with different blades.
I think they both sell tools made by Einhell. One of them branded as Parkside.
Cheap, mass market but not terrible.
If you ever find two similar ones are different weights, choose the heavier as there a chance that it has a metal bearing or gear instead of a plastic one.
Some spare parts can be ordered online from Einhell
Einhell tools are sold under their own brand name in Toolstation and Wickes.

Aldi
A few days ago, I bought an ALDI angle grinder from the local ALDI shop, and it is excellent.
What I liked about it was the speed control. My 12 year old Argos angle grinder has no speed control, and was only good for cutting materials. It still works great.
The ALDI angle grinder can now sand, polish and cut materials as well with the speed control. It is well made, and the price was good - £ 19.99
Only negative thing was it had no case, and came in a cardboard box. But cannot complain at the price, good value for money.

£ 24:99 on line as they don't have this in our store at the moment.
Trying to check if this or/and the Lidi have a metal gearbox.
yeah, it was written on the box £24.99 reduced to ==> £19.99
It must had been further reduced item in the local branch.
The grinder runs very smooth, and joy to work on any material.

If I had a choice, I think Aldi are a bit above Lidl?
I have bought tools from both and have no complaints.
Don’t expect pro level standards but for a diy use, where annual use would be a week in pro use, why spend more?
also look at Screwfix own brand - not as good a guarantee through. But they do generally just give you a new one if it breaks and their system records your purchase so no paper receipt to lose
