Aldi's £49.99 bladeless fan heater returns, £350 cheaper than Dyson

Aldi's Ambiano Bladeless Fan Heater, priced at £49.99, returns to stores on Sunday, October 18 as part of the supermarket's 'Home Heating Essentials' Specialbuys range. The 2-in-1 device provides both heating and cooling functions, allowing households to cut back on central heating during winter while remaining useful year-round.

Features and design

The compact gadget boasts a "sleek" design and offers three heat settings, eight fan speeds, and a nine-hour timer. Its oscillating function directs heat to the entire room, unlike stationary models that require manual repositioning. Available in black and white, the heater is described as "compact, modern and easily portable," suitable for hallways, bedrooms, home offices, or living rooms.

Bladeless-style fan heaters have grown in popularity due to their streamlined, fashionable appearance compared to bulkier alternatives. The design is also more child-friendly, making it suitable for family households. These multi-tasking devices can be used in both summer and winter.

Price comparison with Dyson

Aldi's heater looks virtually identical to Dyson's Hot+Cool, which usually retails at £399.99 but is currently on sale for £349.99. Aldi shoppers can invest in a similar device for up to £350 less. Another alternative, the Russell Hobbs Bladeless Heat and Cool Fan, usually retails at £144.99 but is on sale at Wayfair for £134.99, still £85 more than Aldi's price.

Additional heating essentials

The upcoming Specialbuys range also includes a Ceramic Tower Heater for less than £20, available in black and white, with an oscillating function to "distribute warmth evenly around the room." Additionally, the £44.99 Ambiano Dehumidifier helps create a "fresher" home by reducing excess moisture, aiding in "maintain a healthier indoor environment while protecting your living spaces." Aldi's full range of home heating essentials lands in stores nationwide this Sunday, October 18.
