Aldi is launching a new mini cooling range to help us beat the heatwave

With sweltering temperatures and sleepless nights set to continue, Aldi is stepping in to save the day with a new mini cooling range, designed to help us stay comfortable and cool without the eye-watering cost of traditional air conditioning.

At the centre of the range is the portable air cooler, a sleek tabletop device that uses water and ice evaporation technology to help cool and humidify the air. Unlike bulky air conditioning units, it’s designed to sit neatly on a desk or bedside table. It costs just £14.99 and features a touch LED display and three speed settings to tailor airflow throughout the day and night.

If you want something more portable, you’ll also find a tripod style fan in the middle aisle. This is £6.99, and is designed to go wherever you do. It can be clipped onto desks, shelves, or bedside tables, so it’s a simple grab-and-go option for staying cool at home or on the move.

For a fan with more power, there’s the £39.99 globe fan. It’s designed to circulate air more widely across a room, with a 360-degree auto-rotation. There are different modes for when you use it, too, including sleep, natural wind, and drying.

Beyond cooling devices, the range also includes summer bedding essentials such as lightweight duvets and pillow pairs, designed to improve comfort on hotter nights without relying on constant fan use.

When can you buy the air cooler at Aldi?

The portable air cooler lands in Aldi stores from Thursday, 2 July, as part of the supermarket’s limited specialbuys range. This means that once stock is gone, it’s unlikely to return.

How much is the air cooler at Aldi?

Aldi’s air cooler will cost just £14.99, so isn’t as costly as investing in a portable air conditioner. There’ll be other cooling devices landing in-store the same day including a portable fan (£6.99) and tabletop fan (£38.99).
