The Ambiano Robot Vacuum hit stores on July 13 and has a price tag of just £99.99, which is a far cheaper alternative to the Samsung Jet Bot vacuum, which is scanning for an eye-watering £665.
The vacuum can be scheduled to run at any time, meaning it can scrub your floors whilst you're at work or even whilst you're sleeping.
It features a three-stage suction adjustment, is app-controlled and comes with a free one-year warranty.
One customer shared a photo of their purchase on Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook page and sent other users into a spin.
In the caption they wrote: "Go in for dishwasher tablets and come out with this."
One wrote: "I got one and I love it. Linked up to my Alexa, I can tell it to clean my floor when I'm on my way home and it takes itself home. I absolutely love it. And it mops the floors too!"
"This looks great, so many great items in Aldi," another added.
A third wrote: "I need one of these at the moment."
"Ace!" said a fourth, whilst another added: "It's great for smooth tiled floors."
Wake up to a weed-free lawn for months thanks to Aldi's £10 gadget that pulls them out without bending or kneeling down
It comes with an app-controlled system, which is compatible with Google, Alexa and Siri - making it super easy to programme, even on the busiest of days.
Robot vacuum cleaners are basically little AI-powered hockey pucks on a mission to tackle your dirty floors while you put your feet up – but there's some proper clever tech making it all happen.
These nifty gadgets use a combination of sensors, motors and clever software to navigate around your home without faceplanting down the stairs or getting hopelessly tangled in your phone charger. It's the ultimate cleaning hack.
Most robot vacs start by creating a digital map of your home – think of it as the robot getting its bearings.
Using sensors (and in pricier models, cameras or lasers), it builds a virtual floorplan of your space, noting where furniture sits and which areas to avoid.
The actual cleaning happens thanks to spinning brushes that sweep dirt toward the centre, where powerful motors create suction to pull everything into an onboard dustbin.
Aldi isn't the only store helping to make household smart devices more affordable, Lidl launched a robotic lawnmower for just £199.
The Parkside Robot Lawnmower is almost identical to the Bosch Indego S 500 Cordless Robotic Lawnmower , which is listed for £609 from B&Q.
The Lidl buy is designed for use on lawns up to 500-square metres and comes with a powerful 20V Li-lon battery.
It also has a brushless motor, means it is less likely to suffer wear and tear.
It needs to be charged for an hour to deliver 45 minutes of mowing time.
Aldi recommends that shoppers pop to their local store to check what's in stock.
You can find your closest on the store locator.
