The brand-new item is part of Aldi's Summer Laundry range

Aldi is set to launch a cost-effective and compact Travel Steamer, offering holidaymakers a solution to creased clothing whilst abroad.

The compact device, set to launch on July 20, promises to deliver "wrinkle-free adventures" and picture-perfect looks.


Weighing a mere 0.54kg and costing just £9.99, the lightweight steamer won't burden luggage allowances or holiday budgets.

Described by Aldi as "the ultimate travel companion", the supermarket hopes it will fly off the shelves ahead of the holiday season.


Part of the retailer's Summer Laundry range, the device has been designed specifically for travellers seeking to maintain smart appearances away from home.

The 800W heating element enables the steamer to smooth out creases "within minutes", Aldi claimed.

What's more, the device features a 170ml water tank and 1.8m cord, providing "ample steam and reach" for various garments.

Safety features include automatic shut-off functionality for "worry-free use". The steamer's travel-friendly design incorporates a removable head that facilitates both easy packing and cleaning.

To ensure compatibility across different destinations, the gadget comes with region-specific plug options for UK/Ireland or US power outlets.

These features aim to guarantee "seamless use across different international power outlets" for travellers visiting various countries.

The launch of Aldi's handy gadget comes at the perfect time, as many Britons plan their last-minute summer holidays.

It joins several other items in the supermarket's Summer Laundry range, all arriving in stores on the same date.

The collection includes a steam assortment priced at £14.99, an Addis three-tier airer for £14.99, and an over-the-door drying rack at £9.99.

Aldi's steamer solution aims to facilitate 'worry-free' holidays

Additional products in the range comprise a structured bathmat for £4.99, an eight-litre two-pack basket at £4.99, and a peg basket or sock hanger priced at £2.49.

All items in the Summer Laundry Range will be available from July 20 while stocks last.

However, shoppers should note that all travel items will be available for a limited time only.

Taking on Aldi's Specialbuys format, the products will grace the supermarket's middle aisle – but "once they're gone, they're gone".

Specialbuys are a "unique" set of Aldi products sold at "unbelievable" prices. Landing in stores every Thursday and Sunday, they promise something for everyone.

Items include DIY, kitchenware, garden furniture, sporting gear, camping equipment, and "everything in between".

In other Aldi news, the supermarket recently unveiled a new garden range, including the "ultimate centrepiece".

While many Britons will be jetting away this summer, others will be enjoying scorching temperatures in the garden.

If you're looking to elevate your outdoor space, the Inflatable Movie Screen, HD LED Projector, and Air Lounger are just some of the supermarket's latest additions.
