Gaming chairs at Aldi in comparison

From June 2nd, Aldi will have two gaming chairs on offer: the Medion Erazer X89410 and the Druid P10. But what are the two cheap chairs really good for and for whom is the offer worthwhile?

The discounter Aldi regularly has other things on offer in addition to groceries. There are currently two gaming chairs in the online shop at both Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd. The Medion Erazer X89410 costs 209 euros, the Druid P10 is even cheaper at 179 euros. TECHBOOK has checked the Aldi offer.

Two gaming chairs at Aldi on sale

Medion is Aldi’s number 1 electronics brand. Again and again, devices from the German manufacturer end up at discounters. The current gaming chair offer at Aldi is valid from June 2nd to July 3rd or while stocks last. Shipping and, if necessary, return (within 90 days) are free of charge in this case. Both chairs were already on sale at Aldi, but at higher prices.

Medion Erazer X89410 – 209 euros

Of the Medion Erazer X89410 has an adjustable seat height of 44 to 50 centimeters and measures around 86 centimeters at the backrest. The exact dimensions are accordingly 129.5-135.5 x 58 x 65cm (H x W x D) and are therefore exactly the right size. For comparison, a 1.75 meter tall person should sit approximately 46-47 centimeters tall, with slight variations depending on leg length. At a little over 50 centimetres, the seat depth is very decent and definitely sufficient, but the load capacity is somewhat below average at 110 kilograms.

The design of the Erazer X89410 is mostly black, with some red or blue accents. The Aldi range includes both versions of the chair. The smooth synthetic leather material is well made and looks chic. However, it is not particularly air-permeable and accordingly gets a bit sweaty during longer gaming sessions. The side wings on the seat and backrest, which are also present in this case, are typical of a gaming chair and provide additional support. Two additional cushions are also included in the delivery: one for the lower back without a strap and one for the head and neck area with a strap to attach it to the upper back of the chair.

The height-adjustable 3D armrests can be rotated in all directions on the Medion Erazer X89410, which is important for the individual posture when gambling. The backrest can also be tilted by 150 degrees and has a built-in rocker function

Medion Erazer Druid P10 – 179 euros

The second gaming chair, which will be available from Aldi from June 2nd, is also from the Medion Erazer series: The Druid P10 for 179 euros. The seat height, which can also be adjusted, has a comparable range of 47-54 centimetres, but smaller people have problems; but it is also a bit lighter at 22 kilograms. The backrest measures 83 centimeters here, the general dimensions are 125.5-132.5 x 70.5 x 57cm (H x W x D). This means that the chair offers less seating space at the back, but more in width and is comparatively light at 22 kilograms. The Druid P10 also has a maximum load capacity of 110 kilograms.

Unlike the Erazer X89410, the Druid model has a faux leather diamond pattern. This is easy to clean, but not particularly breathable. On the upper backrest there are also optical elements in the form of sloping recesses, which are much more generous, but in no way disturb the seating comfort. The gaming chair is only available in black; only the subtle logo at the top of the backrest is white. Overall, the whole design is a bit more angular, and the side wings also end more squarely than in the comparison model.

The armrests are height-adjustable, but not in 3D and therefore not in all directions. The Medion Erazer Druid P10 also has a rocking function and can be tilted backwards by 150 degrees.

Is a gaming chair at Aldi worth it?

In the price comparison, it is noticeable that both chairs are significantly reduced. The Medion Erazer X89410 costs 209 euros at Aldi and is therefore well below the actual retail price of 299.95 euros. You are currently paying the same amount from the manufacturer itself. Either way, it’s a good gaming chair – in the case of the Aldi offer, you can also get it much cheaper than usual.

The Medion Erazer Druid P10 has been reduced even more, from 279.95 euros to 179 euros. In comparison, the gaming chair offers a little less comfort, it lacks the additional seat cushions and the 3D armrests, but it also costs 30 euros less. The leather look could also be decisive for a purchase decision: The Xer model has a smooth look, whereas the Druid P10 has a diamond pattern.

Both gaming chairs are good value for money and those who are actively looking should take a look at the Aldi range. There is also a three-year guarantee from the manufacturer and not just two, as is usually the case. However, the DruidP10 is not recommended for people shorter than 1.70 m.
