'Versatile' £12 Amazon fan with cooling mist hailed a 'Godsend for a heatwave'
One customer described this 'powerful' fan as 'lightweight and compact'.
While trying to keep ourselves warm has been a priority over the last couple of months, many of us will now be finding ways to keep cool as temperatures hopefully continue to rise over summer. One easy way to do so is to purchase a portable fan.
One fan that is currently popular with Amazon shoppers is the Winique Misting Stroller Fan. While initially targeted for prams and strollers, this portable device can also be used on an exercise bike, work desk, car seat and so much more.
Retailing for £12.99, many shoppers have been impressed by the power that this "lightweight and compact" device provides, as well as the cooling mist function. As such, they have awarded the fan an impressive 4.4 star rating.
Featuring a flexible tripod base, the Winique Misting Fan is equipped with long bendable legs that can easily be wrapped around a variety of surfaces such as the handlebar of a bike. A writer from the Mirror found this feature to be "more versatile" than a clip-on fan.
The portable fan also comes with three adjustable wind speeds, which are quiet even at the top setting. Boasting a rechargeable 2600mAh battery, you will be provided between four to six hours of use. However, it should be noted that it does take roughly four hours to charge the battery.
Further adding to the versatility of this fan, it also features a 270 degree vertical and a 360 degree horizontal rotation. This means you can get the fan into the perfect airflow position without having to compromise for lack of movement.
The much loved bonus feature of this device is the discreet 50ml water tank that provides the misting spray function. Simply press the button on the back and the fan will spray out a very fine, cooling mist for up to five minutes at a time.
If you want something more stationary for your desk, you can get the Honeywell TurboForce Power Fan from Amazon for only £19.59. Normally retailing for £32.49, this desk fan is currently one of Amazon's top choices.
Alternatively, if you don't mind spending a bit more money, Argos is currently selling the new Philips 2000 Series White & Grey Desk Fan for £80. This 8-inch fan is able to deliver a long-range airflow of up to 25 metres and features three speed settings.
However, if you are intrigued by the Winique Misting Stroller Fan, you aren't the only one. Over 100 people have purchased this fan in the last 30 days and one shopper claimed it was a "Godsend during the last heatwave".
One happy shopper said: "Absolutely fantastic, great value for money, easy to use and wrap around option means it can be used for so many things (on a pram handle, desk, anything). Would highly recommend."
Another added: "This is a really powerful fan, lightweight and compact. Easily attached to the pram but can be taken off easily and used on the table. The legs are really flexible. Battery life is pretty good, just have to remember to charge it - but really impressed."
Some customers did express some concerns about the fan. They wrote: "Two fans were purchased for holiday as have two kids under two. One has stopped working after five days of use." Another shopper also added: "Misting function didn't work. Quite chunky and heavy to take on holiday."
Despite this, another shopper raved: "I cannot believe the power you can get from this tiny fan! This comes with octopus legs that you can wrap around handles or bed posts to secure it.. the head is fully adjustable so that you can get the right angle. There are three speed settings which you can have either with spray or just the fan."
While a sixth shopper hailed the portable fan as "fantastically versatile", before adding: "This was such a Godsend during the last heatwave, and on warm/hot days."

Tech review: IMILAB EC6 Panorama Spotlight Camera provides a smart way to keep your home secure
My first confession with the IMILAB EC6 Panorama Spotlight Camera is that as of yet I haven't installed it anywhere physically on my house. Down to sheer tardiness on my behalf and not having the time to get the drill and ladders out. I have, however, given it a trial run to see exactly what it has to offer. The main thing being that it has a rotatable 180° panoramic camera. It also has in-built tracking that follows whoever is coming up your drive or climbing your back fence. Security is so important to everyone and it's security devices that can give people that all-important peace of mind. The camera has a lot of tech packed in and one of the great features is the ability to have two-way conversations with people at the door, the same as with a doorbell camera. Unlike the doorbell cameras, this has a really high resolution 3.5k live view with full colour night vision. It can also be used as an indoor camera. The in-built detection software offers a further deterrent for intruders with motion-detected light flashes. If you want, you can also record a message to play, to make it seem like you are at home. I will admit we did record daft messages at first. Customisation is a big thing with this camera. The app lets you take full control of things like playback, recording, and setting the target areas for detection. Everything that is recorded can be stored either via a subscription package, or with a micro SD card, the choice is yours. You can also link the camera up to Alexa or Google Voice Assistant, again giving you a variety of voice control options. Connection can be wired or wireless and you can keep an eye on everything at your home via the app, no matter where you are. The word smart cam is a very apt one because there is a lot of intelligence built into this and it feels like much more than just a security cam. That's something that really surprised me, home security is certainly hurtling along at quite a rate. The IMILAB EC6 Panorama Spotlight Camera is available for £149.99 from Amazon. Reviews "The camera has an audio problem, with the setting at 100% at 5 m you can't hear the alarm anymore, the sound is so low that it is impossible to communicate with the person when the camera is 3 m from the ground, it has a big manufacturing problem with the audio system." "I want to recommend this spotlight camera, provides high quality recordings, waterproof, it serves its purpose. As described, we can rotate the camera 180 degrees from where it was being installed. The images and videos captured are really of high quality one. I opt for continued recording using a micro-SD card, it captures every event like any vehicle or person detected. "No hassle of paying an extra subscription. Installing the Xiaomi app, linking the device was very easy. Once I turn on the device it automatically directs to format the micro-SD card to match the device. On the installation part, the package includes mounting kit which helps for easy installation. Even though I connected using Wi-Fi, it has a provision for wired network too." Ezviz Dual Lense

Tech review: UGREEN trackers help you prevent a holiday disaster or a lost wallet
Have a habit of losing your wallet, your keys, or even your luggage? These latest products from UGREEN may just be the answer to your problems. Officially licensed by Apple, these smart finder devices are designed to keep track of your items and make sure you never lose them again. The UGREEN FineTracker is a square but discreet device that comes with an impressive two-year-battery life before you need to replace it. It's a sturdy and compact gadget which links up to your mobile phone to act as a powerful tracking device. It comes with a built in 80db alarm to alert people when lost. One feature I really liked on it was the Bluetooth tracker which basically alerts you if you venture too far from the tracker. The UGREEN FineTracker is currently available from Amazon for £9.99. Also in the range is the UGREEN fine track slim finder which fundamentally works in exactly the same way, but is thin enough to fit inside your wallet or passport holder. That's down to it being just 1.7mm thick, which does contribute to it having a one-year battery life, but it is rechargeable. The unique selling point here is definitely the sleek design and the versatility that it offers. Both devices have clearly been introduced into a marketplace that has seen a meteoric success for Apple's Air Tags. These are really effective competitors and the price is definitely a good selling appeal to liven up the market. What users say "I also use AirTags. But now only use UGREEN. They are compatible with the iPhone and can then be found in the Where is! App. Where is the UGREEN Tracker also suggests a route to the lost object, with the AirTag only suggesting a search function without maps." " It was easy to set up and the tracker was immediately taken over by the iPhone. The search using 'where is' is pretty accurate. Only the beeping sound when searching could be a bit louder. Otherwise happy with it"
