Amazon slashes price of 'silent' Shark fan by 34% for heatwave
Brits battling the sweltering heat can get some relief from the hot weather thanks to the massive savings on this top-rated Shark FlexBreeze TableMate Cordless fan on Amazon. The popular retailer has slashed 34% off the price, down from £149.99 to £99 so shoppers will be keeping cool and saving money at the same time.
What's even better is that the 4.4-star fan has rave reviews from customers, who praise it for being in a "different class of cooling." The fan boasts five separate fan settings and is designed to run for up to 24 hours.
It can be used in and outdoors and it won't falter in the rain. It's also been designed to be 'quiet', something many of the online reviews have flagged too.
Using the first speed should allow the fan to run for a whole 24 hours. When speed three is engaged, it has a battery life of up to six hours, reducing to two when speed five is selected.
It features an easy-carry handle, and according to Shark, users can feel the breeze from '20 metres' away. Elsewhere, Dunelm is selling this 16-inch Black Pedestal Fan for £25 that is 'selling fast' on the Dunelm website, reports the Liverpool Echo. There's also the Midea SmartAir Fast Chill Tower with a 5L Water Tank is currently on sale on Amazon, down from £119.99 to £99.99
Reviewers have been gushing over the fan on Amazon. One happy customer raved: "Best fan ever! It's quiet, but so cooling and looks strong sturdy and trendy. I've got it on an offer, so £50 off. Spent so much money on fans but this is a different class of cooling. Like the regular Shark products (own loads) does what it says on the box with a little bit of pizzazz added. Great product."
A second review enthused: "This fan is amazing, when I took it out the box I pressed the on button to test it. I continued unpacking it thinking it had no charge as i could not hear anything. The fan was pointing away from me so never felt the breeze. Turned out that it was on and so quiet I could not hear it. I had it on all of last night and slept all the way through for the first time in a long time. Brilliant fan!".
"Amazing! Especially right now with the heatwave and generally warmer weather. It's a powerful fan and versatile. Highly recommend! It's very good quality!".
Meanwhile, a fourth delighted shopper shared: "Another excellent product from Shark. Build quality is superb and it's very easy to use right out of the box as there are little labels all over it directing you what to do.
"This is in addition to a very helpful quick start guide so you should be fine no matter what level of confidence you have with appliances. Fan power ranges from a nice gentle breeze to full blast and on low, you can barely hear it which is nice."
Yet, some buyers raised issues, particularly concerning the battery life on higher settings. A balanced viewpoint came from one moderate critique: "When using this fan as a plug in its brilliant and I'm very happy with it in every way but when using it on battery which is fully charged and on the second lowest setting the battery doesn't last long."

Man makes £20k a month from side hustle that 11m Brits could also do – it's effortless and can be done all year round
Watch the video for more top tips on how to start your own side hustle CASH IN Man makes £20k a month from side hustle that 11m Brits could also do – it's effortless and can be done all year round A MAN has revealed he makes a whopping £20,000 a month from a little known side hustle, that requires hardly any effort. Barrie Taube, owns 150 garages and 300 car parking spaces across the country, and rents them out to people in need of storage space. Advertisement 2 Barrie makes £20k a month from renting out garages Credit: Linkedin 2 11 million people in the UK have a garage, with many left empty Credit: Getty Renting Out Garages The property investor and surveyor charges between £50 to £150 a month for garages, and between £30 and £60 for car parking spaces. 'We rent to people who live in blocks of flats; we will approach them and see if they want to rent them out", Barrie, who owns that garages through his business Southern Land Securities, told The i Paper. "For the car parking spaces, they might have an extra car or just want an extra space." Barrie revealed that he also rents out his parking spaces to people who need them for a short period of time, such as if they are attending a football match or a concert. Advertisement In the UK, an estimated 11 million people own a garage, with half of these not used to store cars. That means that millions of Brits could also be cashing in on this side hustle. Hardly Any Maintenance The investor also owns many properties which he rents out to tenants, but revealed that renting out garages comes with many advantages, such as the lack of upkeep. 'There's not much to maintain, just the roof, walls and the garage door", he said. Advertisement 'If the roof is leaking, you make the decision whether to mend it but, in general, when someone signs the lease, they agree to maintain it and to give it back in the condition they rented it in.' He added that it also costs a lot less to purchase garages, which cost around £10,000 to £30,000 in most locations. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy In Mayfair, garages can sell for up to £300,000, however, Barrie explained that people in these areas are happy to pay much more to keep their posh cars safe. 'If you had a garage in Mayfair, you could get £500 a month or more in rent", he said. Advertisement "If someone has a car worth a few hundred thousand pounds, they will pay this to know it's safe.' How to make cash from renting out your garage If you have spare garage space, you can make cash by renting it out for storage, using websites such as Stashbee and Storemates. You can also advertise your garage on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. When listing your garage, make sure to include key details, such as photographs, the size of the space, notable features, and whether the area has its own independent access. It is also a good idea to arrange viewings, to make sure the space is right for potential renters. Make sure to take any costs into account, as Stashbee charges a 5% fee on bookings, while Storemates deducts 16.5% plus 20p from each payment. Gumtree generally offers free advertisements, but specific surcharges apply for garage storage or car parking listings (£8.79) and for linking to an external website (£6.59). According to Stuart Collar-Brown, from online auctioneer Bidx1 UK garages are much more profitable than buy-to-let properties, pulling in yields averaging 10 percent, compared with a 4.75 percent average for rental properties. Landlords Ditching Properties To Rent Out Garages 'Garages offer a great alternative to storage costs for tradesmen, so they'll perform well in densely populated residential areas, especially where houses are rows of Victorian houses [and] where parking on the street is tricky due to a lack of driveways, so demand will outstrip supply.' He added that, in light of the Renters Reform Bill, which is set to come in over the coming months, many landlords are switching their business to garages. Advertisement 'We're definitely seeing a shift of residential landlords into non-residential assets, so this would include commercial, industrial, garages and other similar asset classes,' he said. 'The sheer amount of red tape that landlords have to wade through now is becoming too much hassle, so they are looking for an easier way to earn yields on their investment." Arguably, the council are no longer building garages either, so the fact that they are not building more suggests, long term, there will be some capital appreciation too.' However, Barrie revealed that since many people have now cottoned on to the fact that garages are good investments, they are reluctant to sell. Advertisement He added that it can be harder to get loans on garages than properties as banks often ask for larger deposits. Plus, he revealed: "If a tenant fills a garage with rubbish and then refuses to pay their rent, you have to pay for it to be cleared out".

Brits more confident in their finances than ever before - here's why
Brits more confident in their finances than ever before - here's why A recent study of more than 4,000 adults reveals that 40 percent now feel 'very confident' in handling their finances average credit card debt has decreased to below £2,000 (Image: Getty Images ) Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, Britons are feeling more financially confident than last year, according to a survey of more than 4,000 adults. Forty percent now say they are "very confident" in managing their finances - up from just 10 percent in 2023. The boost comes despite challenges like a volatile stockmarket and low interest rates. Eighty-four percent feel more confident in their ability to save, with 40 percent crediting an emergency fund for their peace of mind. The number of adults with some form of savings has risen to 83 percent, up from 75 percent, and there's been a 10 percent increase in those actively investing. Credit card debt averages have also seen a decline, falling below £2,000, from £2,096 to £1,995, reports the Daily Star. Despite these positive trends, the study commissioned by Moneybox reveals that while there is greater confidence in retirement planning, only 21 percent feel 'very confident' about achieving a comfortable retirement. Brian Byrnes, head of personal finance at Moneybox, commented to say: "There is still much more the financial services industry can do to support people on this journey to move towards their financial goals with confidence. Article continues below "Whilst providers like Moneybox are working to make tools and information as accessible as possible - and positive initiatives like targeted support are on the horizon - the financial services industry cannot take its eye off the ball." Retirement savings is the one area most Brits still aren't confident about (Image: Getty Images ) The study indicates a growing trend of individuals proactively managing their finances, with many describing their approach as "structured and comprehensive", and a significant number are self-educating on personal finance matters. Belfast has emerged as the city with the most financially assured inhabitants in the UK, with London and Manchester also ranking high. Notably, confidence levels have risen across nearly all urban areas over the last twelve months. Brian Byrnes commented: "The government, regulators and the industry need to match their drive and momentum and commit to doing all they can to close the advice gap and help people make informed financial decisions with greater confidence. "These results show how far people have come - learning from the economic challenges of recent years and taking control of their financial future. Article continues below "They show that financial confidence is like a seed: once planted, with a little encouragement, it grows - prompting people to spend more time learning, planning, and engaging with their money. "That's the real story here: resilience, progress, and the power of confidence to transform financial lives."

Apple AirTag hits record low price in Amazon Prime Day sale so you never lose your bags again
Apple's AirTag, which can be attached to luggage, is currently on sale at Amazon for its lowest ever price Bluetooth trackers, the tiny tech devices that allow you to keep tabs on your belongings' every move, are gaining popularity. These useful gadgets can be attached to anything from suitcases and handbags to wallets and passports. One such device, Apple's AirTag, has seen a significant price reduction thanks to an early Amazon Prime Day discount. Having used it on their travels to France, New York, Italy, and Botswana, the Mirror's commerce editor Harriet Morphy-Morris highly recommends it to friends and family. The AirTag uses Apple's Find My Network, allowing users to track its movements continuously. Usually priced at £35 per tag, it is currently available for just £26.60 on Amazon, making it cheaper than buying directly from Apple. Setting up this trackable gadget is simple for iOS users. Once the AirTag is activated, simply bring it close to your iPhone or iPad, and a 'connect' notification will appear. You can then assign a name to your AirTag and register it with your Apple ID. Harriet did this back in 2022, and since using an AirTag for travel, she has never misplaced their luggage. The AirTag emits a unique network signal that can be detected by other nearby AirTag users. It sends its location to these users, who can then anonymously share the location with you. Apple enthusiasts may already be acquainted with the 'Find My' app, and the AirTag functions similarly to tracking a misplaced phone during the 'Find My iPhone' era. With the Find My app, Harriet said they can instantly see the location of their bags and when they were last there - particularly useful when boarding a plane, as it allows her to confirm whether their luggage has been loaded. AirTags do present a limitation for many travellers and mobile users, as they are exclusive to iOS, leaving Android users out in the cold. This is where competing devices such as the Tile tag and select models from Chipolo prove beneficial, as we outline below. There are alternatives from Chipolo, Tile and Samsung. The Tile by Life360 is available for purchase on Amazon at £34.99, a slight increase compared to the currently discounted AirTag. Like the AirTag, it also tracks items it's attached to via an app, but instead of immediately displaying the tracker's location upon opening (as with the AirTag), you have to select 'location history'. Harriet has previously compared the Tile tracker with the AirTag while travelling, and it does provide a slightly more accurate location on the map, including nearby shops and attractions that iOS doesn't display. Another alternative is Chipolo. The Chipolo Card Spot, which is compatible only with iPhones, is currently reduced to £19 and offers a slimmer option that can easily fit into purses and wallets. Tech deal of the week It's that time of year where we are looking for ways to keep cool amidst the balmy, summer days. One item shoppers are raving over is this DDKJ Neck Fan that can be used to keep cool when commuting, at work or in the home. Even better, it costs just £26.98 on Amazon. With certain parts of the UK set to reach sweltering 35C, it's handy that this neck fan comes with a rose gold cooling plate around the neck curve that is said to "feel like an ice cube", dropping temperatures to just 15C in as little as one second. Boasting an ergonomic, wearable design, it features two bladeless fans that are safe to wear, with five different speed settings that provide a cooling effect on the head, neck and sides. It's also quite smart thanks to a LED digital display that makes the operation easy and convenient, while the built-in 5500mAh large capacity rechargeable battery features a fast charging chip that ensures a full charge within just 2.5-3hrs. Numerous shoppers who have bagged the neck fan say it is a "godsend" and a "lifesaver" for the heatwave, with one writing: "This is easy to wear when sitting or walking generally. Works fast and never needed it on anything but the lowest setting! At my time of life it is a lifesaver, especially through the heatwave we experienced." Keep cool amidst the rising temperatures with the DDKJ Neck Fan with Cooling Plate on Amazon for £26.98 During a recent holiday, Harriet decided to test out the CARD Spot by Chipolo. Its slim design, similar to a bank card, makes it perfect for slipping into a wallet, passport, or ID, much like the Tile by Life360 or Eufy SmartTrack Card. However, Harriet opted to tuck it into her suitcase pocket for tracking during her flight. It's important to note that it relies solely on Apple's Find My network and doesn't have its own app. Currently on sale for £21, the CARD Spot offers features that set it apart from rivals such as AirTag and Tile. It's worth mentioning that this gadget may not be suitable for Android users due to compatibility issues. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
