Hot and bothered shoppers race to Lidl to nab bladeless fan that's ‘just as good as a Dyson' & ideal for sweltering days
THE Dyson bladeless fan is meant to be one of the best around, but at a whopping £350, not many people can afford it. But there's a MUCH cheaper dupe on the market that's apparently just as good as the Dyson - and you can find it in your local Lidl. 4 Kimberley took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share a snap of the £69.99 Silvercrest fan, as she asked other shoppers: "Has anyone got these from Lidl and are they genuinely any good?" Her post was then flooded with comments, with the majority of people raving over the budget buy. "Got ours last year, really good!" one wrote. "Brilliant, you don't need to turn it up high for it to be really effective," another added. "The smaller one is equally good." "I've got one had it 2 years just as good as Dyson," a third insisted. "Yes, they're brilliant! We have ours in the bedroom & it's good, not too noisy either," someone else wrote. "Bought my daughter one last week, it's great - got lots of functions," another said. "Had mine on all day. Love it," someone else commented. "Yes... love mine and going to get another one for the bedroom," another wrote. Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel "Yes got one yesterday, it's really good," someone else added. While another gushed: "I got one a couple of weeks ago and it's been great on a night when it's hot." "I had one similar when I was in Hong Kong: excellent, cool & quiet (compare to traditional big blades) and very safe for kids," someone else insisted. "I bought the small one last year, it was that good I bought the big one this year!" another admitted. "You can't go wrong for that price." But others had different ideas for how to keep days and nights cool in the blistering heat. How to keep cool in a heatwave Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. "Put another 140-ish to that and buy an air conditioning unit with a BTU of 9000 or above, nice chilled room," one wrote. "Best money I spent last year to combat the heat." "I got it yesterday," another said of the Lidl fan. "Not that impressed and the Shark one is £30 more, so going to take back." "Best fan I've ever had is a Meaco, sooo powerful and quiet," a third added. "We bought 3 from Amazon," someone else weighed in. "£60 standing ones have 4 settings on them. It is quite noisy but it's quite relaxing." 4
