QUICK SUMMARY

The Ambiano Bladeless Fan Heater arrives in Aldi's Specialbuys tomorrow, Sunday 18th October, offering both heating and cooling in one compact design. It looks almost identical to the Dyson Hot+Cool HF1, which I gave four stars in my full review last December.
Features include three heat settings, eight fan speeds, oscillation and a nine-hour timer, all very similar to what Dyson's model offers. The main thing you're missing is smart app control, but considering the price difference, that's perhaps not much a deal-breaker.
Speaking of price, the Ambiano Bladeless Fan Heater costs just £49.99, compared to the Dyson Hot+Cool HF1's usual £399.99 price tag. You can pick up Aldi's model from tomorrow, but as always, I'd check your local store's stock before making a trip.

Aldi's fan heater comes in black or white and, like Dyson's, includes a remote control. We don't have all the details just yet, but it looks like you can use it to adjust the heat and fan settings, set a timer, control oscillation and switch the unit on and off. There also appears to be a sleep mode, another feature found on Dyson's model.
I'm rather impressed by how similar the two are, particularly when it comes to the range of settings. At £49.99, Aldi's model could be worth a look if you're after a 2-in-1 fan heater, but bear in mind that you won't get all the smart features of the Dyson.
