Aldi’s patio heater will bring music to your garden with a built-in speaker

Warm up your next alfresco party

Stretch out your evenings with light, tunes and warmth (The Independent)

We can’t quite believe it but autumn is almost here – and if you’re keen to lounge alfresco on chillier evenings, you’ll need a trusty heater to keep things toasty.

It’s no secret we love a budget buy from Aldi, with its outdoor selection brimming with goodies to protect you from the elements – from gazebos to fire pits, the supermarket is also on hand with sell-out egg chairs, and rattan furniture to create the perfect alfresco setting.

Ahead of the chill setting in, Aldi’s patio heater is one with a twist. As the home of budget buys you never knew you needed – such as a desk lamp that’ll charge your phone – Aldi’s patio heater actually doubles up as a light and a speaker, with integrated Bluetooth to stream your music wirelessly.

Included in the sale with 25 per cent off, it’s down from £119.99 to £89.99, which is a generous saving that’s well worth considering. If your outdoor space is starting to feel a little nippy, we’ve detailed everything you need to know about the multi-tasking heating device.

If you’re looking to make the most of evenings spent alfresco during the chillier months, Aldi’s corded patio heater could be a real garden gamechanger. That said, whether you’re cozying up with a blanket mid-winter or warming up your summer get-togethers, you’ll be reaching for this multi-tasking gadget year-round (we all know how unpredictable weather in the UK can be).

Featuring an LED light for creating an inviting glow, the infrared heater should also turn dimly lit spaces into the perfect setting for outdoor lounging. With the built-in Bluetooth speaker, you’re essentially getting three gadgets for the price of one.
