Aldi has launched a new cooling range starting from £14.99, including a rotating desk fan, portable air cooler, and summer duvets, as the UK experiences record June temperatures exceeding 35°C. The range offers affordable options for those seeking relief from the heat, with fewer than 5% of UK homes having built-in air conditioning.
Key Products in the Range
The Aldi portable air cooler with LED is priced at £14.99, providing a budget-friendly cooling solution. The Aldi globe fan, available for £39.99, features a timer, 10 speed settings, and a remote control. Both products will be in Aldi stores from Thursday 2 July. Aldi does not offer online shopping, so customers must visit store middle aisles to purchase.
Expert Recommendation
For those needing immediate relief, shopping editor Daisy Lester recommends the MeacoFan sefte 6” portable battery air circulator at £69.99 from Meaco.com. According to Lester, this compact, super-quiet fan rivals Dyson at a fraction of the price, with powerful fan speeds, rotation, and a night mode. While not suitable for whole-house cooling, it can help during hot work-from-home days and restless nights.
Additional Cooling Options
The range also includes summer duvets, as 12-tog bedding is impractical in the current heatwave. Aldi's affordable air conditioning unit has also landed in time for the heatwave, according to a separate report.
