Aldi is set to release a new Portable Air Cooler with LED display priced at £14.99, which the supermarket claims can lower room temperature using water and ice evaporation technology. The device will be available in UK stores from July 2 as part of Aldi's Specialbuys range, offering shoppers an affordable solution to combat soaring summer temperatures.
Product Features and Pricing
The portable cooler features three speed settings and a touch display for ease of use. According to Aldi, the unit operates by evaporating water and ice to cool the surrounding air. The product is part of a broader summer cooling range that includes a Fan with Flexible Tripod (£6.99), designed with an adjustable base for clipping onto desks or bedside tables, and a Globe Fan with Multi-direction (£39.99), which offers 360-degree auto-rotation and three operating modes: Sleep, Natural Wind, and Drying.
Additional Bedding Items
Alongside cooling products, Aldi will also introduce several bedding items tailored for warmer weather, including duvets and pillows. The full range includes the Summer Dream Coverless Duvet (£12.99), Summer Breeze King Duvet (£9.99), Summer Dreams Double Duvet (£9.99), and Summer Dreams Pillow Pair (£7.99). All items will be available in stores while stocks last.
Competitor Offerings
Rival supermarket Lidl has also entered the cooling market with its Tronic 3-in-1 Air Conditioner, priced at £149, available from June 25. Lidl describes the device as "a cost effective addition to any home" during hot weather, featuring three operating modes: air conditioning, fan cooling, and dehumidifying. The unit includes two fan speeds and transport wheels. Lidl also stocks other cooling items such as portable fans and cooling pillowcases starting from £3.99.
