Aldi's Dyson fan dupe is back in stores this weekend and it's £200 cheaper
The Ambiano Bladeless Fan has made a welcome comeback just in time for the (hopefully here to stay) warmer weather - and it's available now.
The penny-pinching household dupe promises to keep your home cool during the summer months and boasts impressive features.
The German supermarket has re-released the bladeless fan to help you keep cool - but it won't be there for long.
The modern design bladeless fan has three speed settings, high, medium, low, plus three modes: normal, nature and sleep.
You can customise your sleep with the various modes and tailor it to your own temperature needs during the day - and most importantly, for a good night's sleep at bedtime.
There's a handy timer (from 1 – 12 hours), a seven colour LED lighting ring, fixed and oscillation function, swivel control and a remote control.
Part of Aldi's Specialbuys, the chic Design Fan comes in at £39.99 making it much easier on the bank balance than rivals.
Plus, with its bladeless design, it's safe around little people or pets.
The sought-after accessory is also incredibly quiet and makes only 56 decibels of sound.
Ready to fly off the store's middle aisles once again, the affordable, sleek gadget comes in £200 cheaper than the Dyson original and £30 cheaper than Lidl 's own.
Fans commented: "I LOVE the fan!! It comes with a remote, three fan speeds, can have the air coming in, going out or both... AND a timer. Happy girl right here!"
Aldi is selling a cheap $4.49 item that will transform your garden into a colorful summer paradise
A second user confirmed: "Love ours!!!! Feels like AC throughout the night. It's amazing."
A third praised: "Absolutely love mine."
Aldi said: "Stay comfortable this summer with Aldi's sell-out Air Cooler (£39.99), that uses evaporative cooling technology for an affordable solution to chilling out – simply add water to the 5.5L tank to circulate cool air.
"Featuring three speed levels, a 0-12-hour timer, remote control, LED light display, four ice boxes and automatic air-swing, it's the ideal alternative to pricey air conditioning."
Also hitting the Specialbuys shelves this week are £3.99 garden must-haves and £4 Crocs dupes.
The popular discount chain has revealed 36 garden essential products - and crocs dupes to wear while you're gardening.
Prices start at just £1.99 and go up to £19.99, with several top-shelf items for a fraction of the cost you'd pay at big-name stores.
That includes Mini Pruning Shears, scanning at Aldi for just £3.99.
Shoppers can also snap up sleeker items like Solar Marrakesh Crook Lanterns for £12.99 and Solar Plastic Spotlights for £3.99.
To find your nearest Aldi, you can go to its website and use the Store Finder tool.
When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items - when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates."
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time.
Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible

Ryanair accuses French strikers of holding holidaymakers ‘to ransom'
Ryanair has cancelled 170 flights because of strikes by French air traffic control (ATC) staff, disrupting travel plans for tens of thousands of people. Michael O'Leary, chief executive of the Irish budget airline, accused the strikers of holding European families 'to ransom' on Tuesday as the company announced that the flights would not take place. The cancellations are estimated to affect around 30,000 passengers. As well as flights to and from France, flights that pass through French airspace to locations such as Greece and Spain will be affected, Ryanair said. The strikes coincide with the start of the European summer holidays, one of the busiest periods for travel every year. Mr O'Leary said: 'Once again European families are held to ransom by French air traffic controllers going on strike. It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. 'It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays.' 'P----d off' ATC workers in France have gone on strike for higher pay and more staff. The decision to launch the industrial action was taken after talks with the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) fell apart. On Wednesday, DGAC asked carriers to reduce flights at Paris airports by 40pc as a result of the turmoil. Further cuts have been called for at other locations such as Nice, Bastia, Calvi, Lyon, Marseille and Montpellier. Mr O'Leary called on Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, to reform European ATC services by making sure they are fully staffed for the first wave of daily departures and protecting overflights during strikes. He said: 'These two splendid reforms would eliminate 90pc of all ATC delays and cancellations, and protect EU passengers from these repeated and avoidable ATC disruptions due to yet another French ATC strike.' In an update to investors, Mr O'Leary described the strikers as 'recreational' as he railed against their activities. The businessman has criticised striking French workers many times in the past. In 2023 he urged customers to sign a petition calling on the European Commission to keep the skies open as France battled a similar wave of industrial action. Speaking at the time, he said: 'People are really f-----g p----d off with flights getting cancelled left, right and centre because the French are on strike.' The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has warned travellers that they may face disruption and delays this week and to seek advice if they plan to travel across France this week.

British banking giant to shut 38 branches in July after snapping up rival in £2.9bn deal – is one going near you?
A MAJOR UK bank is shutting 38 branches across the UK this July, after signing a deal to snap up a rival. Last month, the bank closed a total of 23 high street stores, after announcing back in March that 95 sites would shut nationwide by the end of the year. 1 Shift To Online Banking Santander revealed that the reason for the closures is because many customers now prefer to use online banking, thus reducing the need for online services. A statement on the Santander website reads: "We last did a major review of our branches in 2021. "Since then, many of our customers are choosing to use Mobile, Online and Telephone Banking more, and branches less." A further 14 branches will close in August, with 20 more to close over the coming months. Older People Could Be Left Behind However, the closures have led to fears that older customers, who prefer to do their banking face to face, will be left behind. Age UK is campaigning for banks to keep some banking services in person, as four million older Brits are unable to manage their finances online. Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said: 'Physical spaces – whether a bank or building society branch, Banking Hub, or alternative suitable provision – must continue to exist so people can still carry out face-to-face tasks. "The disappearance of face-to-face banking risks cutting a significant minority of the older population out of an essential service, making it difficult if not impossible for them to manage their money and maintain their independence.' In order to combat this issue, 73 banking hub s have been set up across the UK, with customers from any bank able to use the in-person service. On Monday, Santander cut the opening hours of 36 of its remaining banks in half, with other branches made "counter-free." Santander's £130 Million Recovery: What You Need to Know Santander Acquires TSB Earlier this week, Santander announced that it had agreed to acquire TSB for £2.65billion. The deal will add a whopping five million customers to Santander's existing 14 million. However, the deal is not yet set in stone, and is still subject to shareholder approval. There will be no immediate changes, as little is currently known about the deal. Full List Of Santander Banks Closing In July Armagh - Upper English Street Bognor Regis - High Street Borehamwood - Shenley Road Caernarfon - Bridge Street Camborne - Trelowarren Street Colne - Church Street, Colwyn Bay - Penrhyn Road Crowborough - High Street Cumbernauld - Teviot Walk, Manchester - Wilmslow Road Exmouth - Rolle Street Falmouth - Market Street Farnham - The Borough Felixstowe - Hamilton Road Hawick - High Street Herne Bay - Mortimer Street Hertford - Maidenhead Street London - Holloway Road London - Mare Street London - Tottenham High Road Honiton - High Street Kirkby - Parade Malvern - Worcester Road Market Harborough - High Street Musselburgh - High Street Pudsey - Lidget Hill Rawtenstall - Bank Street Ross-on-Wye - High Street Ruislip - High Street Saltcoats - Chapelwell Street Seaford - Broad Street Shaftesbury - High Street - Fore Street St Neots - Market Square Stokesley - High Street Strabane - Main Street Tenterden - High Street Wishaw - Main Street TSB customers will be notified of any changes well in advance. Sabadell - which owns TSB - said it would submit the deal to a shareholders meeting on August 6 for its approval as it is subject to the BBVA offer. Sabadell's shareholders must approve the TSB sale, as it is tied to BBVA's ongoing €14billion takeover bid. If approved, the deal is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
