With temperatures reaching unpreceded new highs, many will be looking for ways to keep cool. With that in mind, we've had a look at what is on the market right now.

Aldi's £34.99 summer waves 10ft 'quick up pool' is among the cheaper products on the market right now. Described as being around 3.5m by 0.76m, the budget retailer described it as a way to "bring the swimming pool experience to your home".

One reviewer of the Aldi quick up pool said: "Great pool, purchased as needed to cool off, didn't take long to fill." Another added: "Just put up for third year. Get the odd pin hole leak but easy to fix. Yes takes a good six hours to fill and must be on level surface."

Some reviewers of the budget Aldi product were not as impressed, however, with some criticising the amount of time it takes to set up. One reviewer said: "We were really excited with the pool and didn’t realise it needed a filter until we got it out to put up.

"Cue very disappointed children and parents left with quandary of going against instructions and putting it up without a filter ready for the heatwave but then having to at very least siphon off gallons of water to fit a filter when it arrived. There wasn’t any warning for novices that this wasn’t included and is needed to use pool. If it had said it clearly on box we could have bought one in time."

The Aldi quick up pool is available to buy now on the Aldi website. For anyone looking to spend a little more, Aldi stocks a £249,99 rattan frame pool that's available to buy online now. Meanwhile, George at Asda stocks inflatable paddling pools. The smaller £20 products are currently sold out online but £30 and £40 options are available on its website.
