Dyson's cooling fan slashed by $100 at Amazon right now — here's the rival you should buy instead
Dyson is well known for being, well, Dyson. And right now you can save $100 on one of the brand's impressive tower fan. But while it may be tempting to stay cool in the heat and make a big saving (because we all know Dyson's pricing isn't cheap), we'd urge you to hold off for just a second. It may sound like a great deal. Right now, the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 has been slashed to $399 at Amazon, making for a grand 20% discount. But there's another cooling fan we recommend — although it's produced by Dyson's biggest rival. Eek! While we love the look of Dyson's Purifier Cool PC1 — it's simply sleek, streamlined and positively futuristic — we absolutely loved one of its main competitors. The Shark TurboBlade Fan gained an impressive 4.5-star rating in our recent review, and it's $100 less than the Dyson cooler even with that reduction applied. In fact, you can pick it up the Shark TurboBlade Fan for just $299 at TurboBlade Fan may not have quite the same eye candy appeal — it reminds me slightly of an old-fashioned projector screen — but my colleague Millie Fender, Managing Editor, Homes, was sufficiently impressed she gave it an Editor's Choice award. She wrote, 'I've never tried a fan like the Shark TurboBlade Fan, but now I have, I don't think I could go back.' This Shark TurboBlade Fan is ultra customizable and can pivot, twist and oscillate, circulating and propelling air up to 80ft. The angle and direction can be changed to find the perfect cooling position and it has 10 power levels. Plus, it even has an Air Blanket Model, for smoothing sleep. I'm intrigued to know why Millie rated it so highly. In her verdict she writes, 'This flexible fan offers the best of both worlds: concentrated high-powered cooling, and laid-back whole-room settings for a natural-feeling breeze.' But the ultimate benefit is in the fan's extra-wide construction, which she says 'makes it ideal for end-of-bed cooling to help couples survive those sticky summer nights.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It sounds like Shark has put an end to night time arguments as couples no longer need to decide whose turn it is to have the cooling fan by their side. So how does it work? Unlike some fans that rotate and oscillate, giving a mixed level of cool air depending on where they are pointing, the Shark has two adjustable pivoting side arms, which allow you to shoot two jets of cool air directly out of the FlexBlade simultaneously, so both you and your partner stay cool at the same time. There are also plenty of other benefits. The fan was easy to assemble, just taking one minute to put it together, and it can also be disassembled for easy storage. Millie also noticed how quietly it runs, emitting a low, consistent noise that won't disturb your dreamtime. There's also a Dust Defence feature, and while it won't replace one of the best air purifiers, it will capture particles in the air to prevent dust and allergens from being cast around your home. However, watch this space, because although we recommend the Shark TurboBlade Fan as an excellent cooling fan, we haven't yet reviewed the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1. We'd be intrigued to see what the PC1 offers for that extra $200 (or, $100 with the discount) price point. You know where to find us, Dyson.

I tried a £449 Dyson fan in UK heatwave - it's cool, but that price is a problem
Can Dyson's £449 technology beat a £20 fan from a supermarket? We find out. Unless you are one of the lucky ones who has invested in some high-tech air conditioning, you're probably, like me, suffering in this current heatwave. Trying to get a good night's sleep or attempting to work from home when the mercury is well into the red is almost impossible. One simple way to keep cool during the summer is to buy a cheap fan and hope that the gentle breeze it produces will reduce the temperature. A basic blower will cost around £20, and although they don't look very appealing, they will do the job. But what if you fancy something a little more flash and feature-packed? Of course, Dyson has been making more premium fans for over 15 years and, along with getting rid of the old-fashioned blades, many now cool the room as well as filtering the air. That means you get fewer pollutants in your lungs, along with it clearing things such as allergens, viruses, bacteria and unwanted gases. With my house currently hotter than sauna, I felt it was a good time to try out the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 fan to the test. As the name suggests, this not only blows out air but also cleans things as well. Living in London means there should be plenty for this device to filter, so how did it do? The first thing to note is that this is not a subtle accessory that can be hidden away. It's big, tall, bold and tells everyone you have a Dyson fan keeping things cool. Switch it on and the totally fanless system instantly gets to work cooling things down. Unless you set it to the max, it's very quiet, and it can also spin to push air around the room or stay in one position if you simply want all of the cooling for yourself. You can even tell it how much or little rotation you want via the bundled remote control. A screen on the front shows the level of cooling along, spin and power - and that's not all, as you'll also see how polluted the room is via this mini display. Green is good, amber means things and getting worse and red shows you've got some nasties in the home. If the Purifier Cool PC1 spots something, it will set about removing the issues from the air. It's a nice feature but I wouldn't say I've felt any better or sneezed less since the device has been plugged into my living room. As I mentioned before, it ships with a neat little remote control, plus there's full access to all the settings via the Dyson app as well. Using your smartphone you can check the air quality and set timers which shut the fan off after certain amount of time. There's no question that the Purifier Cool PC1 purifying fan is far more advanced than anything I've ever used before. It looks like something from the future and also makes sure my lungs aren't full of muck. The smartphone control is a nice addition and knowing that it removes allergens brings a bit of peace of mind to anyone who suffers from these annoying health issues. Yes, Dyson does make a very good fan, but it comes at a massive cost. The model I tried is priced at over £400! That's a ludicrous amount of money, especially as UK heatwaves don't last that long. Unlike my cheap supermarket model that can be shoved in a cupboard during the winter, it feels like the Dyson needs to become part of furniture all year round. No, my cheap fan can't filter the air or be controlled by an app. It's also very ugly and not something that will may make your neighbours envious when they pop round for a BBQ - something Dyson's model definitely does. Does the Purifier Cool PC1 purifying fan do a great job? 100% yes! Is £449 way too much for a fan? Unless you just won the Lotto jackpot I think it probably is.

Dyson air purifier helps beat summer allergies - and is £100 off
Allergies might be getting Brits down - but this Dyson deal might help Brits suffering from hay fever and other summer allergies during the heat might be in luck because Amazon has a new deal on a Dyson air purifier with a big discount. The Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 i s an air purifier which works by filtering out microscopic impurities and allergens from the air. This purifier has the ability to capture gases, odours and 99.95% of pollutants as small as 0.1 microns, including allergens such as pollen and dust mites, thermal comfort temperature adjustment at night. There's connectivity via the MyDyson app, which can be flicked on and off when needed. The app even lets shoppers measure the air quality to see how the purifier is helping and what pollutants it is helping filter out. As well as that, the whole purifier, not just the filtration system, is fully sealed to HEPA H13 grade – so what goes inside, stays inside. There are alternatives as well. Argos is selling this Bush Air Purifier for £120, and there's also this £138 Blueair purifier, which also has app control. The Daily Mirror also recently reviewed the same air purifier to determine whether it was up to par. Grab the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 from Amazon for a big discount £449 £249 Amazon GET DEAL Product Description Gadget expert Laura Mulley said: "Like all Dyson products, the new Purifier Cool PC1 is really easy to set up and work out how to use, and looks incredibly slick in the home. "We have an open-plan kitchen/living room so I set this up between in the two, in the hope of capturing cooking smells, smoke from our log burner, and pollen from our back doors (I haven't quite found the best way to hide the wires, so it may end up moving further into the kitchen). "I typically keep it on 'auto' and leave it to do its thing – and this it does, automatically detecting pollution and allergen levels and adjusting its output to match, trying to keep the data in the green (or 'good') category. "I also think that it'll be a godsend in summer, when the gentle breeze it expels will be incredibly welcome; we'll probably move it into our bedroom then, when the nighttime temperature adjustment feature will come into its own (other customers have reported it really helping with sleep). I'd also previously owned another model of Dyson fan before, and the filter didn't need changing for years. "In terms of downsides, it's obviously expensive, and it's quite big (although tall, so it doesn't take up much floor space). It's also hard to pinpoint if this in itself makes a huge difference to our quality of life. But our home feels cleaner and fresher since having it; if you can afford it, I think it's a good investment."

Hay fever sufferers urged to do one simple thing to beat grim symptoms
For hay fever sufferers, warm months can mean misery, but the latest gadgets could be your new best friend in the fight against allergies and it's often a satisfying solution that's overlooked Hay fever season is in full swing, with more than 10 million people across the UK suffering from the pesky pollen allergy. Symptoms vary from a runny or blocked nose to itchy, red or watery eyes, fatigue and frequent sneezing. Symptoms are often worse from late March to September, particularly during warm, humid and windy conditions when the pollen count is at its peak. There is no cure for hay fever, but treatments are available to help manage symptoms and there's one must-do that can help and it's over overlooked. Electronic devices such as air purifiers, fans and even vacuum cleaners, can help to manage hay fever from the comfort of your home. Dr Mohamed Najjar of Jorja Healthcare Group explains, 'There are a number of ways that technology can help. For example, air purifiers can help reduce airborne particles, providing some relief. 'There are also devices called air quality monitors. While they don't clean the air, they alert you to problems, such as local pollen data, and some are available on smartphone apps. These indicate the levels of different types of pollen in the area by giving them a score. Some people find this useful in helping to identify the type of pollen they are allergic to.' Katie Lilywhite, air treatment expert at says, 'Pollen is a nuisance for anyone with hay fever, but simple steps can be taken to reduce its impact. Home comfort can be improved significantly simply by cleaning and ventilating your house to remove any unwanted particles. 'On humid days, the air can feel thicker and bring on worse hay fever symptoms. Humidity can also form mould, which makes the allergy worse. Investing in a dehumidifier can reduce the moisture in the air, meaning the air feels fresher inside your home.' We take a closer look at the ways tech can help you combat summer sniffling.

Antihistamines and nasal sprays Professor John Dickinson, head of the Exercise Respiratory Clinic, University of Kent, advises that over-the-counter remedies ought to be your first stop in tackling hay fever symptoms. He says, 'Antihistamines and nasal sprays directly target allergic inflammation and are clinically proven to relieve symptoms.' An Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) device can also help remove mucus from the airway. Filtered hoover Your vacuum can help combat symptoms, too. Alex says, 'The Dyson Gen5 Detect features whole-machine HEPA filtration that captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander and mould spores. This means allergens that are picked up stay locked inside the vacuum and are not released back into the air.' POWERbreathe Hay fever can cause inflammation in your airways, making breathing more difficult, particularly if you also suffer from asthma or a mild respiratory condition. However, John says that using resistance based apparatus can make a difference. 'Devices like POWERbreathe, which are popular among athletes and elite footballers, can help strengthen your breathing muscles and reduce breathlessness during flare-ups, even if you have asthma,' he says. Multitasking fan Staying cool at night with a fan is a priority for a restful night's sleep in the summer, but it can also help with hay fever symptoms.
