Aldi customers are positively raving about a bathroom item that is featured in the most recent catalogue, with plenty of shoppers saying that they've had theirs for years. While $49.99 may seem on the steep side for an Aldi product, loyal fans are adamant that it is worth every penny.

The item causing all of the chatter is an acrylic shower caddy that not only looks chic but saves a ton of space. They are so popular that even professional organiser Georgina Martin of Collective Order is eyeing it calling it an "ideal choice."

"Waterproof, durable, and rust-resistant, this caddy can be considered a more worthwhile investment compared to cheaper metal alternatives," Georgina told Yahoo Lifestyle, adding, "Be sure to check the thickness of your shower screen before purchasing."

So, what are customers saying about this clever bathroom buddy? Well, the glowing reviews started rolling in after a curious customer posed a question online. "Anyone used this Acrylic Shower Caddy before?" they asked. "Need honest review plz."

This prompted a chorus of happy shoppers to reveal that not only do they highly recommend the caddy, but that its longevity is something to be celebrated.

"I love mine, had it for like 2 years," one person said.

"Had mine for about 5 years they are fantastic," another replied.

One shopper revealed that they had been in possession of theirs for a staggering TEN years and said it was "still going strong."

"Had mine for years and they are the best thing you can buy. I clean them with water and detergent and they are back as new for years," yet another fan added.

Reasons why Aldi shower caddy is a hit

So, why else do people love this shower caddy so much, especially as it is on the more expensive side?

Based on the comments, there are plenty of reasons to be rushing out to buy this (it's in store now).

People raved about how easy it is to clean and also praised that it doesn't go mouldy or rusty (unlike the metal ones that hang over the shower head).

"The longer a metal shower caddy is exposed to water and moisture the greater the likelihood of rust," Georgina told Yahoo Lifestyle. "The only way to get around oxidation over time is to dry thoroughly between showers! Acrylic shelves on the other hand are unaffected by oxidizing and dry quickly."

Customers also appreciated how sturdy the caddy is with one person saying, "Have had mine for 7 years still like brand new, I have dropped it a few times and it’s never broken! Love mine. It doesn’t fit over my shower screen so just sits on the top of my tiles."

How much can the Aldi shower caddy hold?

"The caddy offers ample storage space without being obtrusive, perfect for hanging over your frameless glass shower screens and we’ve seen that it’s been hit in the middle-aisle," the Aldi spokesperson said to Yahoo Lifestyle.

Indeed, several other people said that they had been impressed with just how much the caddy can hold.

"We've had ours for 5 years and love it," someone said. "It holds all of our shower products for 2 adults and it doesn't clutter our small ensuite. Easy to clean too."

"Yes my son has 2; they look great and hold quite a bit, keeping the shower recess clear of bottles etc," another added.

"I agree it’s fantastic and worth it. Holds a lot in weight and height and is long-lasting," yet another shopper replied.

“We are always on the look-out for the latest innovative products to keep our customers guessing, and we’re excited to see the popularity of our newest Acrylic Shower Caddy Special Buy with shoppers," the Aldi spokesperson told Yahoo Lifestyle.

Uses beyond the bathroom

One person even shared that the caddy is so handy, that they had found a use for it outside of the bathroom.

"Yes love mine. Even have one in the kitchen for my aluminium foil/ glad wrap and baking paper at the bottom and some of my regular spices at the top," they said (genius).

"In case you need more reasons to choose this caddy over others, consider its excellent storage capacity, efficient space-saving design, and versatility for repurposing in other areas of the home," says Georgina. Think make-up storage in a teenager’s room or the kitchen. This shelf could be used over a bedroom mirror for make-up or perfume storage.
