It is not an April fool.

I bought the 2Mhz version of the Medion from Aldi a year ago - never a moments problem. Nice machine, seems well bulit/ thought out. Occasionally throws up an odd error message (the rare/ unusual ones) in German rather than English - some reflection of the source heritage I guess but not a problem.

Anyone buying can expect LONG queues outside the store. They open at 9.00 but I arrived at 6.30 am and by 7 am there were 10 in the queue. By 7.30 there were 20 - and they only had 15 machines (*) By 9 am there were 50+ in the queue.

(*) Seem better organised these days. My local Aldi store now issues numbered tickets to those in the queue and when the machines are all gone then you can order at the same price. I am told it takes about 2 weeks for delivery.

Note - Aldi does not accept credit cards ie Mastercard/ Visa etc. but they will take cash cards ie Switch - or money or course.
