You probably know by now that another heatwave is on the way, with temperatures set to rise from this weekend. Whilst it won't quite reach the blistering highs we experienced during the last hot spell, it's still expected to be warm enough that investing in one of the best fans now is a very sensible idea.
If last week's heatwave taught us anything, it's that leaving it until the last minute isn't worth the risk. Fans flew off the shelves, major retailers quickly sold out, and social media was flooded with people desperately trying to track one down.
To avoid the same scramble this time around, I'd recommend buying yours before the temperatures really start to rise – and there's one retailer in particular that's worth heading to.
On Thursday, Aldi launched its new Mini Cooling Collection as part of its weekly Specialbuys, following the success of Lidl's range of Tronic fans and air conditioners. Available now in selected Aldi stores, the collection includes three affordable cooling gadgets – the Portable Air Cooler with LED, the Globe Fan and the Fan with Flexible Tripod.
Rather than paying inflated prices as demand increases, you can also pick each model up for a very affordable price. I've listed the costs below, but if you like the look of one, don't hang around. As with most Aldi Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone.
Priced at £14.99, the Portable Air Cooler with LED actively lowers room temperature, and has a handle so you can easily move it from room to room.
The new Globe Fan at Aldi has multi-direction rotation so it can fully cool the room you’re in. It also has plenty of modes and settings to play with.
Available in three colours, the Aldi Fan with Flexible Tripod is only £6.99. You can also group the ‘arms’ together to use as a handle or prop it up.
