Aldi has introduced a new cleaning gadget, the Ambiano Portable Vacuum Cleaner, priced at £16.99, as part of its latest Specialbuys collection. The budget-friendly device is designed to tackle everyday messes around the home, car, or on the go, offering a compact and cordless solution for shoppers seeking convenience without a high price tag.
Key Features and Specifications
The Ambiano Portable Vacuum Cleaner is available in white or black and provides up to 25 minutes of cordless use. According to Aldi, the gadget delivers “powerful portable cleaning for everyday messes” with two adjustable suction levels. It includes a 180ml dust tank and a 40ml water tank, enabling both dry and wet vacuuming. The package comes with a crevice nozzle, wet suction nozzle, upholstery brush, and a USB cable for charging. Aldi emphasizes that the unit operates quietly and charges quickly, though exact charging time is not specified in the listing.
Availability and Shopping Advice
The vacuum cleaner is available in Aldi stores now, but due to the limited nature of Specialbuys, shoppers are advised to act quickly to avoid disappointment. Aldi’s website notes: “We update our stock checker frequently but because our products are so popular the availability displayed is just an estimate. To see exactly what's on offer head to the middle aisle!” The gadget is part of a broader cleaning product range that launched over the weekend.
Comparison with Competitor Products
For those who prefer online shopping, alternative options exist. Lakeland offers the 3-in-1 Mini Vacuum Cleaner for £19.99, which boasts three functions: strong suction cleaning, air dusting, and blowing. It weighs only 400g, features a USB-C rechargeable battery, a reusable filter, and five nozzle attachments. The Lakeland gadget has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars online.
One reviewer commented: “I can't praise this mini vacuum cleaner enough. It's small but mighty, gets in all the nooks and crannies and is quite powerful for its size. Easy to empty. I keep mine in a kitchen drawer! I just wish I'd bought one years ago.” Another user shared: “This really is a marvellous piece of kit. Extremely useful for doing edges under the skirting board and round cupboards etc, anywhere really. I've only the use of one arm, it's lightweight easy to switch on and also plug-in for charging. I never leave reviews, but feel compelled to leave one as I found it so handy, thank you, Lakeland. This really works for me.” A third review praised the pump feature for inflating balloons, calling it a “very useful and easy to use handheld vacuum which does more than one job.”
