This summer has been a hot one so far and it doesn’t seem like it’s letting up. Even if you have air conditioning in your house, sometimes you just need a little extra cooling for those extra hot days. A desk fan is a great way to do that, and Aldi is going to be selling an affordable one next week. Besides being useful, it looks a lot like a Target version that costs over three times the price.

From July 10 through July 16, Aldi is selling the Ambiano 8-Inch Air Circulator Fan for $9.99 in their Aldi Finds section. It’s a compact little fan that fits on your desk; the fan is 8 inches in diameter, and the product as a whole measures 11.02 inches by 4.92 inches by 10.83 inches. It has three speed settings (high, middle and low) and a rotary switch for easy operation.

Aldi’s 8-inch fan works with three wing blades and has an adjustable vertical angle so that it can hit you just right while you work. Other helpful features include a built-in handle (if you need to move it from room to room with you) and a “whisper quiet operation,” which is great if you get easily distracted.

You’re also able to mount it to a wall, which is nice if you want it in a fixed position. It operates with 120V, 60 Hz and 30W and weighs almost 3 lbs. To top it all off, it comes in three neutral colors: black, navy blue and white.

The product is nearly the same size as Aldi’s, measuring 11 inches high, 4 inches wide and 11 inches deep. It also weighs the same (2.7 lbs) and has an adjustable tilt head. It also has three fan speeds and three fan blades. It uses 42 watts and can also be mounted to a wall.
