Lidl stores across Spain have seen long lines of shoppers eager to buy a new portable evaporative cooler priced at €44.99. The compact device, measuring 28 × 56 × 24.5 cm and weighing 4.7 kg, uses a 4‑liter water tank and 65 W of power to lower indoor temperatures, a welcome solution during the current heatwave.

Weighing 1.24 kg and measuring 27 × 25 cm, the grill features a powder‑coated steel bucket, fold‑away legs and a removable handle, making it easy to transport and store. Both products have become sought‑after summer essentials, prompting customers to arrive at Lidl from early morning to secure them.
