And the best news is it could be perfect for those who can’t get air conditioning units in their home.
One bargain hunter shared how they spotted the purse-friendly device in their local Aldi.
Taking a photo of the unit, they raved about how it had made their room a blissful four degrees colder.
They wrote on the Facebook group Aldi Aisle of shame community: “I can not put a portable ac in my bedroom because of the windows.
“Found this at Aldi today for $49.99.
“The room is already about 4 degrees colder than normal. It’s only been running about an hour.”
FAN FAVORITE
The Aldi product appeared to have interested numerous shoppers, with the post racking up over 3,400 likes.
One person wrote: “OMG I would push someone out of the way for this. Sorry ya’ll.”
Another added: “I need that.”
A third commented: “I had one of those and I loved it.”
The Ambiano air cooler is portable, meaning you can move it around your home whether you are located.
This can be achieved by it being on four wheels, with a handle on each side.
It comes in a small to medium range and is effective in rooms up to 108 square feet, which is good for a large number of homes.
The supermarket says the device “uses evaporative cooling technology for an affordable solution to chilling out.”
It works by drawing in hot air, and then forcing it through wet pads to cool it as it evaporates.
The cooled air is then released back into the room using a fan inside.
Released air contains moisture and can increase the humidity of the room, which can be refreshing on a dry day.
ELECTRONIC DISPLAY
The Ambiano machine has an LED display and touch panels so you can choose between three speeds – low, medium and high.
You can also set a timer so you don’t leave it on constantly and waste electricity.
Thankfully it is cheaper to run than an air conditioner, and you don’t need to vent the machine through a price online.
All you need to do is add water to the back and you are ready to go.
