Hurry! This portable cooling fan from Shark is $40 off in early Prime Day sales
In the words of Glenn Frey, the heat is on. This week looks set to deliver another mini heatwave which makes it even more important to stay hydrated and keep cool. One of the best ways to do so is by investing in a portable fan and right now, Shark's FlexBreeze HydroGo is currently slashed by 20% at Amazon, bringing the price down to just $119. The deal covers all the different colors of the fan, apart from Quartz which is currently unavailable. The FlexBreeze HydroGo is selling out fast. This innovative and portable cooling solution brings the breeze both indoors and outdoors. Plus, with cutting-edge misting technology, it creates a spa-like cooling effect that will see temperatures dropping and life in the sunshine improving. With rechargeable batteries, it can last up to 12 hours, keeping you cool and comfy. The FlexBreeze HydroGo launched back in March, but with temperatures looking to hit the high 70's towards the end of the first week of July, it's fair to say there's an uptick of interest in Shark's little fan. In fact, it looks like Amazon has had to restock as last week a number of different colorways were unavailable. You're also likely to have seen this little guy pop up on TikTok or Instagram in recent weeks. It seems like it's fast becoming this summer's Stanley water bottle. The beauty of this fan is that it's portable — so you can take it with you when you leave the safety of home A/C to venture into the backyard or out to the park. It's got a carry handle, weighs only 5lbs and, according to Shark, has a battery life of 12 hours. The fan produces evaporative misting with ultra-fine droplets that aim to reduce temperatures by up to 5°C/41°F. The fan produces evaporative misting with ultra-fine droplets that aim to reduce temperatures by up to 5°C/41°F. Naturally, Shark recommends you only engage the mist feature outside — so your interior doesn't get all wet — but that's entirely up to you. In fact, when my colleague Millie tried the larger Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo out for herself and felt that it probably could have performed better — she notes that's the one thing you need to know about before you buy it. Given how popular this fan is proving to be on social media, I'd recommend grabbing this deal to guarantee a more comfortable night's sleep. Just bear in mind that Amazon's Prime Day promotion is coming up, so we could see a greater discount later in July — if you're prepared to roll the dice.

Louise Thompson ditches ‘built-in air conditioning' for this Shark portable fan
Louise Thompson recently raved to fans that this portable Shark fan has been a godsend during the UK's heatwave, hailing it 'the best' for fending off the heat - and it's on sale If you've been thinking of investing in a portable and powerful fan from a reputable brand to help fight the rising temperatures this summer, Louise Thompson has been singing the praises of this Shark model. Hailing it "the best" during the UK's recent scorcher, Louise pointed fans in the direction of her new favourite fan, which she's even touted as better than built-in air conditioning. The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo that's captured Louise's heart is currently up for grabs for £99.99, down from £129.99, on Amazon, or for the same discounted price via Argos, Currys and Shark's own site. Talking about the fan, Louise raved to fans: "Guys I have the best best BEST product find in the world. You are going to thank me with all your heart. This is a portable fan and it CHURNS out cold air. Last night all of our naff British heat problems blew into insignificance." She went on to say: " This is the best fan and no lugging up and down the stairs. I'm stealing it and poo poo'ing Sam's built-in air conditioning unit." This cordless fan boasts misting and indoor and outdoor cooling while promising low noise output. Its durable, compact, and incredibly lightweight design makes it easy to move from room to room or even take outside when you fancy sunbathing without feeling the sweltering heat. Thanks to Shark's HydroGo Evaporating Cooling technology, which produces ultra-fine droplets, this fan lets you enjoy refreshing mist both indoors and outdoors, for complete cooling wherever you go. Built for outdoor durability with rain resistance and resistance to UV damage, this fan promises quiet operation, which offers minimal disturbance; perfect for keeping on while you're sleeping or working from home. Able to operate corded or cordless, indoors or outdoors, this Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo airflow lets you feel the breeze up to 20 meters away, at maximum speed, so the whole room can feel the cool air no matter where. Compact and weighing less than 2.1 kg, this portable fan promises grab-and-go cooling without any hassle. And it's not just Louise loving this Shark gem, as 5-star reviews pour in. One customer raves: "Behold the Shark Flex Breeze! A portable, rechargeable, powerful and quiet fan that also spouts out a cooling mist! I can now sit inside or outside and never need to peel appendages away from sticky skin. The battery last ages, the water container is sufficiently large and if I felt like taking it to Tescos cafe I can…..I haven't, but I will if not only to embarrass my wife. Expensive….possibly….but I'd take one of these over 3 terrible ones every day. Go on, buy one, you know you want to!" Another buyer beams: "Small, very quiet and keeps you nice and cool. 5 speeds, plus breeze settings where it flow strengthens and weakens. Amazing as it is, but the mist feature helps keep you cool and really works well. Plus as it's rechargeable, you can take it outside and use it. What more could you want? I like that the lights go off after a while and so at night, it's on but not visible." And a third writes: "The fan itself cannot be faulted for probably being the best fan currently available on the market. It's quiet, the battery life is more than ample, the fine misting is a game changer to quickly cooling down when necessary and it really is fine enough not to feel dampened, just colder. It's pricey, but with a 5yr registered warranty it's a long term purchase."

How the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo misting fan managed to beat the heat in my dormer office
How the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo misting fan managed to beat the heat in my dormer office The misting fan is designed for both indoor and outdoor use The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Mist Fan in Lilac (Image: Shark ) As the UK recovers from a roasting heatwave, the thoughts of many are turning to getting a quality fan in preparation for the rest of the summer. Working from a south-facing dormer adorned with French doors, my own home office rapidly becomes a greenhouse as soon as sunlight filters through. Shark's new FlexBreeze HydroGo misting fan is described as a "powerful, cordless misting fan designed for both indoor and outdoor use". There was a natural curiosity about how its misting function would integrate into an indoor environment, especially with concerns over potentially carpets or workspaces. Shark says the HydroGo's "evaporative cooling technology" generates superfine droplets from its 150ml integrated water tank, claiming a refreshing mist that avoids the creation of wet surfaces – a claim I was eager to evaluate for Mirror Choice. Pros Cools effectively Portable thanks to rechargeable battery Suitable for indoor and outdoor use Cons Higher settings are a little on the noisy side Battery life varies depending on settings Trialling the misting function Testing the misting function The idea of filling my office, full with electronic equipment, with mist initially made me feel rather apprehensive. However, a test on the dinner table quickly showed that the machine could indeed disperse a fine cooling mist without making the surfaces wet. Feeling reassured, I brought it up to my sweltering workspace where it ran at full speed for roughly 30 minutes before the tank was empty – although I assume that a lower intensity might have prolonged the duration. The misting feature offers two modes: constant or sporadic, providing an additional method to extend the water reservoir's longevity where refilling isn't always feasible. I discovered that using cold or iced water in the tank further enhances the cooling effect. Filling the water tank through a hole at the top of the unit could be simplified if a funnel or pouring cup were provided, but this can easily be replicated with a measuring jug or similar item. The Shark FlexBreeze Hydrogo misting fan (Image: Reach ) Portability With up to 12 hours of cordless operation and up to 20m of portable airflow power, Shark markets the FlexBreeze HydroGo as the ideal companion for summer escapades, barbecues and patio gatherings. It also boasts an impressive rain resistance rating of IPX5, making it perfect for unexpected showers. Another key feature of its portability is the fan's ability to operate with or without its power cable - and it conveniently charges while in use when plugged in. The fan also comes with a quick-release base that allows a switch from a tabletop fan to a telescopic pedestal stand. For those eager to take it on their travels, Shark even offers a branded backpack specifically designed for the HydroGo. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here . Performance The HydroGo has five fan speeds, two smart breeze modes, continuous mist, and interval mist options. According to Shark, at maximum fan speed, the airflow can reach up to 20m. Despite its lightweight design, the unit packs a surprising punch in terms of power. I discovered that setting three provided the ideal balance between effective air circulation and noise level, with setting five proving a bit too noisy for comfortable use. This device would likely be more suitable for outdoor use, where ambient music or the buzz of a larger gathering could help drown out the sound. The fan comes in dove, glacier, charcoal, lilac, mint and quartz So, what other options are available on the market? Priced at £129.99, the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo might not fit into everyone's budget as an immediate solution for summer cooling. Alternatively, Amazon offers the HOMCOM Pedestal Fan with Water Mist Spray, a larger but less portable option currently priced at £89.99. This model, which features a robust 3.2L water tank for extended cooling sessions, has received a 4-star rating from shoppers. For those seeking a more high-tech choice, Dyson's Purifier Humidify+Cool is available for £699.99. This gadget utilises a carbon filter to disperse purified, humidified air throughout the room. Back within the Shark range, there's also the FlexBreeze Pro Mist Indoor and Outdoor Fan and Misting System, priced at £219.99, which boasts a significantly larger water tank than its smaller counterpart. Verdict The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo has been a total revelation in my home office - while the misting tank doesn't have an exceptionally long lifespan, the potent fan speed alone is enough to maintain a comfortable temperature. The mist function provides a welcome extra for those days when the heat becomes unbearable, though be prepared to refill the tank every half an hour or so unless you set it to intermittent. Article continues below The device itself boasts a stylish design, compact size, and its portability and rain-resistance make it incredibly versatile for a variety of uses. I agree with other customers that it would be beneficial if future models included either an app or remote to adjust the settings, but considering the price point, I believe it offers good value for the features provided.

People are obsessed with Shark's FlexBreeze HydroGo — here's why it's proving to be the sell-out fan of the summer
Shark's new HydroGo fan may have launched back in March (and here's why I couldn't wait to try it), but, while I was immediately impressed by its design, portability and misting technology, the weather hadn't quite heated up yet and so I was in no rush to buy it. And then it got really hot. Suddenly, along with everyone else, I was desperately searching in my loft for a fan. And then desperately searching on the internet when it turned out mine had mysteriously disappeared. Then, I remembered the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo. But, it appears, so did everybody else. I've seen this fan cooling down creators across social media since its release and I should've known then that I needed to act fast to get my hands on one. At time of writing, in the U.S., the HydroGo has sold out on Amazon in four of its 11 colors and is selling out fast in the rest. And in the U.K., it's completely sold out! Shark has got us all in its wonderfully cool jaw. And to make it even more of an appealing deal, it's also been on sale. The fan is currently sitting at just $119.99/£99.99 on Amazon, marking a 20% discount. And while you can't put a price on a good night's sleep, $119 is pretty nice. The FlexBreeze HydroGo is selling out fast. This innovative and portable cooling solution brings the breeze both indoors and outdoors. Plus, with cutting-edge misting technology, it creates a spa-like cooling effect that will see temperatures dropping and life in the sunshine improving. With rechargeable batteries, it can last up to 12 hours, keeping you cool and comfy. But, you'll have to be quick; many colors have already sold out. The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is focused on cooling you, wherever you go. It boasts a reach of up to 70ft at its highest speed packed into a compact design that can easily be transported by a smart carry handle. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Weighing it at only 5lbs, it's also incredibly lightweight. So, if you want to use it indoors or outdoors, you don't need a whole lot of space to do so. While Shark says it can last up to 12 hours on a single charge, it does depend on which of the five fan speeds you're using and whether you're taking advantage of the misting technology. And while it already has an eye-catching, sleek design, it's also available in a wide range of different colors including Quartz Pink, Honeydrew Green and Lavender. Or, if you're a fan of a more neutral look, there's Grey, Dove and Charcoal. A pop of color seems to be the allure of the summer though with the more colorful picks selling out fast. Or, if you're in the UK, you can't get your hands on a single one. When Shark launched the HydroGo, it also dropped the FlexBreeze ProMist, too. And, while it costs a little more (currently on sale for $199), our TG Homes Editor, Millie Fender, tried it out and said: "It cools you off like a cucumber in a lux grocery store". When a product like the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo goes viral, you can't always be sure if it's worth the hype. But, when you take a look at the reviews, it becomes pretty obvious. One user called the HydroGo her "new best friend" with another user saying: "Super awesome fan Though, as is the case with any product, there are some reviews where users called it "extremely overpriced" and worried that it didn't use USB-C for charging, but instead used a barrel connector. Finally, one user from Florida said: "Take it anywhere, anytime! Not large or bulky and it is light weight. I'm ordering two more!!" So, it appears there's not enough fans to go around. If you see a HydroGo available, it may well be worth picking one up (or three).

Shark misting fan kept my dormer office cool in heatwave without soaking my desk
Shark misting fan kept my dormer office cool in heatwave without soaking my desk We tested out the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo - a powerful, cordless misting fan that's designed for both indoor and outdoor use and promises to keep you cool, no matter where you are The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Mist Fan in Lilac (Image: Shark ) With heatwaves forecast across the UK in the coming weeks and month, many Brits will be thinking about investing in a decent fan. With my work-from-home setup in a south-facing dormer with French doors, my office can quickly become a greenhouse when the sun shines. Shark's latest mist fan - the FlexBreeze HydroGo - has been billed as a 'powerful, cordless misting fan designed for both indoor and outdoor use'. I was curious how the misting element would work indoors without making carpets - and crucially, my desk setup - damp. Shark claims the HydroGo's 'evaporative cooling technology' produces ultra-fine droplets from its integrated 150ml water tank to provide a cooling mist without creating wet surfaces - so I decided to put that to the test for Mirror Choice. READ MORE: Dunelm's £25 'quiet and powerful' fan is 'perfect' for hot nights READ MORE: Save £170 on Phillips electric toothbrush that 'feels like dentist scale and polish' Pros Cools effectively Portable thanks to rechargeable battery Suitable for indoor and outdoor use Cons Higher settings are a little on the noisy side Battery life varies depending on settings Get the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo £129.99 Shark Buy here Product Description The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is billedat the powerful, portable, fan that mists both indoors and outdoors. Testing the misting function With a room full of office equipment, I was naturally quite nervous to put this claim to the test. But after an initial run on the dinner table, we found that it did indeed run a pleasant cooling mist, without making surfaces damp. Reassured, I moved it up to the sweltering home office, and ran it successfully for around 30 minutes on full speed before the tank emptied - though I imagine with a lower setting, this could have stretched longer before a refill was required. The misting function has two settings - constant or intermittent, so this would be another way to make the tank last longer if you weren't able to fill it as regularly. I also found that using chilled or iced water in the tank boosts the cooling power even further. Filling the water tank through a hole in the top of the unit could be easier if a funnel or some kind of pouring cup were included, but this is easy enough to replicate if you use a measuring jug, or the kind that comes with most irons. The Shark FlexBreeze Hydrogo misting fan (Image: Reach ) Portability Promising up to 12 hours of cordless runtime and up to 20m of portable airflow power, Shark bills the FlexBreeze HydroGo as the perfect companion for summer adventures, barbecues and patio parties. It also has an impressive rain resistance rating of IPX5, perfect for unexpected downpours. Crucial to its portability, the fan can be used with or without its power cable - and charges while in use when it's plugged in, which is handy. It's also equipped with a quick-release base that allows for transformation with various separately sold accessories, including a telescopic pedestal stand to convert it from a tabletop fan. And if you're keen to take it with you on-the-go, Shark even sells a branded backpack designed specifically for the HydroGo. Performance The HydroGo has five fan speeds, two smart breeze modes, continuous mist, and interval mist to choose from. According to Shark, at maximum fan speed, airflow can reach up to 20m. The unit itself, while lightweight to carry around, is surprisingly powerful for its size. So I found that setting number three was the sweet spot between effective air circulation and noise - with number five being quite loud to work with. This would probably work better outdoors, especially if you have music or a larger gathering to mask the sound. What else is on the market? With a price tag of £129.99, the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo won't be within everyone's budget as a quick solution for summer cooling. Elsewhere, Amazon stocks a larger, albeit less portable, HOMCOM Pedestal Fan with Water Mist Spray, currently reduced to £62 in a limited-time deal, which shoppers gave a generous 4 out of 5 stars. It has a pedestal design with a hefty 3.2L water tank, which should provide a longer cooling session. The HOMCOM Pedestal Fan with Water Mist Spray For a more high-tech option, Dyson offers the Purifier Humidify+Cool for £699.99. This device uses a carbon filter to project purified, humidified air throughout the room. Back in the Shark stable, there is also the FlexBreeze Pro Mist Indoor & Outdoor Fan & Misting System, which boasts a substantially larger water tank than its more compact cousin, for £219.99. Verdict The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo has been an absolute game-changer in my home office - while the misting tank doesn't last for a remarkable length of time, the powerful fan speed alone is enough to keep the room comfortable for the most part. The mist function is a nice boost for those days where it just gets too hot to function, though prepare yourself to be topping the tank up every 30 minutes or so unless you set it to intermittent. Article continues below I loved the pretty pastel lilac colourway The unit itself looks stylish, is compact, and the fact that it is portable and rain-resistant makes it hugely versatile for a range of uses. As fellow shoppers noted, I agree that it would be nice to see future iterations include either an app or remote to control the settings, but at the price point, I think it's very reasonable for the features provided.
