Aldi is selling a handheld steamer for just £14.99 as part of its Specialbuys offering

The compact gadget is just £14.99 from the bargain retailer and heats up in just 35 seconds, delivering continuous steam to refresh your threads.
It comes with a removable 250ml water tank, a 1.9m power cord, and includes two handy attachments – a brush and a measuring cup – for added versatility.
And here's where it gets steamy for the competition. Aldi's version is less than half the price of the Philips Handheld Garment Steamer 3000 Series, which retails at £34.99 on Amazon.
While the Philips model is foldable and slightly lighter, Aldi's option delivers a powerful punch for its price tag – especially for those not fussed about packing light.
The Ambiano steamer is part of Aldi's Specialbuys range, which means once it's gone, it's gone – and at this price, it won't hang around for long.
So if your iron's on its last legs or you're just after a quicker way to freshen up your wardrobe, this pocket-friendly powerhouse might be worth snapping up.
Elsewhere in Aldi's Specialbuys is a jaw-dropping batch of dupes - and leading the way is the £14.99 NutriBullet dupe.
The Ambiano High Speed Blending Set, which comes fully loaded with 11 pieces and costs a whopping £55 less than the branded version.
Kitchen getting a glow-up? Aldi's got you.
The Crofton Everyways Pan, priced at just £19.99, is being hailed as a Le Creuset lookalike for a tenth of the price.

It's oven safe, made with recycled aluminium, and honestly... it looks the part.
Meanwhile, beauty fans are buzzing over the return of Lacura's mascara for £5.99, a near-perfect dupe of Benefit's bestseller.
And if that wasn't enough, Aldi's Lacura Setting Spray (£4.49) and Marine Oil (£3.99) are drawing comparisons to Charlotte Tilbury and Elemis – but for a fraction of the cost.
Setting customers back just £3.99, the Lacura Marine Oil is a dupe of Elemis' pro-collagen marine oil, which is currently on sale for a whopping £72.
The luxury oil aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with marine ingredients.
And Aldi's version aims to do the same by using algae extract and golden seaweed.
It's not the only dupe from the line. The supermarket is also launching a marine mask, £6.99, and a marine moisturising essence, which are again very similar to pricier Elemis products.
On the DIY front, Aldi's come out swinging with a cordless multifunction tool for £25, slashing the price of similar Bosch models by over £60.
Kids aren't left out either – there's a Plush Bluey Chair (£24.99) and Squishmallow Pokémon plush toys (£12.99) flying off shelves faster than you can say "limited stock".

When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items - when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates."
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time.
Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
