Shoppers rush to buy ‘better than Dyson' cooling fan amid heatwave as it's slashed to £68
The Dreo tower fan has been hailed 'better than Dyson' by several Amazon shoppers and is ideal for cooling down your home during the heatwave – and it's on sale for £68
Whilst we may have all been looking forward to the warmer weather, one thing we're less thrilled about is how warm our homes get. As British homes are typically designed to retain heat, the hot summer months and mini heatwaves can often leave them feeling stuffy and too hot to relax in.
A fan is of course the best way to help keep the air cool and circulating around the house, and Amazon shoppers think they've found the best one to shop that's affordable, works well and is, according to them, 'better than Dyson.' The Dreo 28dB Silent Tower Fan is usually priced at £79.99, but it's currently on sale with 15% off, slashing the price to £67.99.
The Dreo Silent Tower Fan comes in both black and white colourways, with the black available at the reduced price whilst the white one is still full price at £79.99. One of the biggest draws of the fan is that it's almost silent, operating at just 28 decibels, which means you can have it running without interrupting your sleep or drowning out the TV.
It also has an automatic switch off as well as an eight hour timer that's ideal for using overnight, and when used in sleep mode it automatically mutes to prevent disrupted sleep. The LED display also automatically switches off, keeping your room cool and dark – ideal for sleeping during the heat.
You can choose from four different modes – normal, natural, sleep, and auto – and there are also four speed settings to pick from which range from a gentle breeze to a strong blow. The Dreo Silent Tower Fan also comes with a remote control so you can operate it from wherever you are in the room.
To make sure all of your room remains cool, the Dreo Silent Tower Fan has a 90° oscillation to cover more areas, and cools the air at a rate of up to 25 feet per second. It measures 36 inches high, so the cool air will fill the room and reach you even whilst sitting or lying in bed.
Amazon shoppers have been thrilled with their purchase, with one writing: 'I purchased 2 of these, my son has the gas boiler in his room and gets very hot, he did have a Dyson but this works much better, I have one due to menopause, I love the remote because I can turn it off and on depending how hot I feel.'
Another agreed: 'Great fan. Very cold air and very easy to use. Best fan ever, so much better than the Dysons!'
Some found it was not as quiet as they'd hoped, with one saying: 'I've only given 3 stars for now, only just taken it out of box to try it, working but definitely not quiet so why say it is? I've a slight headache already!'
Others however disagreed, with another reviewer writing: 'Bought this fan last year and honestly one of the best thing I've ever purchased. It's so easy to use and it actually blows cold air out rather than just circulating the hot air. The different modes are really helpful ( sleep mode is so silent and perfect for me, I wake up to any noise). My whole family have bought one, would 10/10 recommend!'
Another said: 'It's wonderful, practical, looks like a small juke box, classy and had no issues with its functionality. Much more economical than the premium brands like Dyson but does the same job if not better.'
If you do want to add a Dyson fan to your home, however, now is the perfect time as the Dyson Cool Am07 Tower Fan in White And Silver is currently on sale. Usually priced at £349.99, it's now been reduced to £269.99, saving you £80 and giving you the most budget-friendly way to get your hands on a Dyson fan.
Alternatively for those on a budget who just want a quick fix, the 32" White Tower Fan from Dunelm is just £30 and offers a quick solution to stuffy rooms. With three speed settings, an oscillating feature and a space-saving design its ideal for cooling down smaller spaces quickly.

Amazon data centres to consume ‘as much electricity to power Burnley'
A complex of huge data centres being built by Amazon in Britain will consume as much electricity needed to power a town the size of Burnley, campaigners have claimed. The proposed data centres, near Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire, are projected to consume around 114.8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity a year. This equivalent to the power consumed by more than 42,500 UK households, according to researchers at Global Action Plan, which is campaigning against the development. It exceeds the number of homes in Burnley, which stood at 41,955 after the most recent Census in 2021. Planning documents show the two data centres in the development will include 42 back-up diesel generators, each around 25 metres tall, that need to be fired up fortnightly to check they are working. It is estimated this will produce the same emissions as 1,079 homes heated by gas. The plans were lodged with Central Bedfordshire Council by Colliers Properties, a known partner of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the retail giant's cloud computing division. The documents name Amazon Data Services UK as the site's eventual operator. Known as Linmere Island, the project would sit on an empty 22-acre greenfield site. While the plans also include 140 solar panels, it is not clear how much power they will supply to the data centres.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag reduced from £35 to £13
Amazon is offering the Bluetooth tracker that's the 'perfect travel companion' Bluetooth trackers are a must-have travel companion, letting users keep an eye on exactly where their luggage, handbag and even their keys are. Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2, offering a fabulous 62% discount in time for shoppers heading off on their summer holidays. The gadget usually costs £34.99 and can now be purchased from the online giant for £13.20. This is the cheapest price around, with the SmartTag2 costing £20.40 when bought directly from Samsung, while Argos is selling it for £23.99. The tracker can be popped inside a handbag or clipped on to a suitcase, allowing travellers to follow their belongings via the app. It's worth noting, however, that the gadget is only compatible with Samsung Galaxy devices. The SmartTag2 offers up to 500 days of battery, with the handy Power Saving mode extending its lifespan by up to 40%. The device is built to withstand dust and water, making it a robust travel companion. If travellers cannot find their belongings, the tracker's Search Nearby feature provides intuitive step-by-step instructions via Compass View. There's also the Ring Your Tag function that makes the gadget audibly signal its whereabouts to help locate it quickly. If the item still cannot be located, fear not, as the SmartTag2 has a convenient Lost Mode. When this is activated, the Near Field Communication displays its owner's registered contact information on the smartphone of whoever finds it. The Apple AirTag is a similar tracking device for iPhone users. Amazon is currently offering a single tracker on sale for £28, while a four-pack costs £92. Currys is selling the CHIPOLO Bluetooth Item Finder on sale for £11.99. This gadget is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones. Over 7,300 Amazon shoppers have reviewed the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 to date, awarding it an overall score of 4.3 out of five. One impressed buyer wrote: "Outstanding simple piece of tech, effective and does exactly what it says on the tin… I use these on my keys, in my wallet and even in my car. Easy to locate using the app and an absolute lifesaver in the early morning panics of 'where are the keys?' "Helps add peace of mind for security and is very small to hide. Also helps locate where you left your car when parking. Overall, this is a fantastic piece of kit." Unfortunately one buyer was disappointed with the tracker, as they didn't realise it was only compatible with Samsung devices. They explained: "Never read anywhere this was only good for Galaxy phones. Unfortunately I bought it a few months ago in advance of a holiday, so I only just found it won't work with my Google Pixel phone even though it operates on Android." Someone else, however, is thrilled with the SmartTag2. They commented: "Perfect little tracker to keep an eye on belongings. I have one in my vehicle and also use one on my cat's collar. Battery life is also quite surprising. Location history etc. Fairly accurate, too."
