£40 Slip Slide brings 'hours of fun' this summer and gets kids away from screens
'The children absolutely loved this!! They spent hours on it, really used up some energy too!'
With the summer holidays fast approaching, many parents may be looking for ways to get their kids outside to enjoy the warm weather and step away from their digital devices for a couple of hours.
One fun item to buy that is sure to get everyone outdoors having fun is a slip and slide. Not only will it be sure to provide a barrel of laughs, it will also keep your children cool during the upcoming heatwave that is set to sweep the country.
Amazon is currently selling the JOYIN 685cm Slip Slide that comes with two bodyboards for £39.50. Currently one of the retailer's top choices, the slide boasts over 5,000 ratings and has been bought by over 1,000 shoppers in the last month.
This 685cm slip and slide comes with two lanes which bring an added element of fun for kids as they race down the track on their inflatable bodyboards. Along with a built-in sprinkler down the middle of the lanes, the slide also comes with six ground stakes to make sure the mat stays in place at all times.
The slide also has the added bonus of being easy to set up. All shoppers need to do is carefully unroll the slide, secure the bumper at the end and use the spikes to hold the slide in place. After the slide has been made wet and connected to water, an afternoon of fun is ready to begin.
It is recommended that the water flow rate of the external faucet should be around 16L/Min in to order to achieve the best water spray effect. With bright vibrant colours, you kids will be racing out the door the second they see the slide being set up.

Product Description
Alternatively, Amazon is also selling the Sloosh Huge Water Slide with two inflatable boards for £43.99. With dimensions of 30ft by 6ft, this water slide is easy to set up and is said to provide 'maximum wetness and maximum wheee!'
Over on Debenhams, the retailer is also selling the Bestway H2O GO! 16ft Slip 'N' Slide for £24.99. Created with a Ultra Slick PVC, this slide will provide kids with more slip and less grip which will let them go faster as they race to the bottom.
Back to the JOYIN Slip Slide, many Amazon shoppers have left rave reviews about how much joy this slide brought to their kids last summer and how it helped pull them away from their screens for a wee while.
One happy shopper said: "The children absolutely loved this!! They spent hours on it, really used up some energy too! Gave them a lot of fun and joy. Definitely recommend!"
With another adding on: "This product was fantastic in the summer. Hours of wet fun, the water comes up through the little holes in the middle part like a sprinkler, comes with two inflatable small body board type things to hold on to whilst sliding down.
"We used it with slime also absolutely fantastic fun, very durable. Comes with ground pegs also to keep it in place, would recommend for some cheap summer fun."
However, one shopper wasn't completely happy with the sprinklers, writing: "Great outdoor fun for the kids. Sprinklers don't come from either side and the middle. Only from the middle and don't come up as high as the advert."
With another shopper noting: "Great delivery my two sons nine and 12 loved this a played on the slide for two hours. The board popped after using them twice. But the side is great. Just get some floats. Happy boys in the sun!"
Despite this, a five-star reviewer said: "This was well worth the money. Wish I'd spent the extra fiver and got the triple lane! Kids aged eight, 10 and 12 love it. Good quality, easy to set up. And mumma can sit in peace now while kids are entertained without looking at a screen. Thank you Amazon!!"
While another commented: "This slide is great quality and was easy to set up. The pegs provided keep it secure to the ground so you don't have to re-adjust when using. Our family had lots of fun using this and think it's great value for money."

Shoppers rave over compact handheld fan that 'puts out more air than a big fan'
'Perfect size to keep in a bag or put in your pocket on sunny days. The speed is insane - this really feels like a plug in fan.' With the weather getting warmer and festival season starting up, many of us are looking for ways to keep cool in the heat without having to head back indoors. One practical solution is to buy a handheld fan that you can quickly switch on when you are feeling too warm. Easily placed in a bag or a pocket, these compact devices will quickly become your must-have item over the summer months. While there are many cheap fans on the market, it may be worth investing in a rechargeable device that can give you the airflow you need and can last all day without draining its battery. For those happy to spend a bit more on a device that will last longer, Amazon is selling the JISULIFE Portable Handheld Fan Life9 for a discounted price. Normally retailing for £35.99, shoppers can now snap it up for 20 per cent less at £28.79. Equipped with a lanyard strap for extra accessibility, the Life9 fan uses an advanced nine blade design and a high speed three-phase brushless motor to provide maximum wind speeds of up to 10m/s. With an RPM of 40000, this compact device will deliver a strong and stable wind. With a battery life of up to 18 hours, shoppers will be able to keep themselves cool all day long no matter the occasion. They will also have a choice of five wind speeds to match the users personal preference and the environment they are in. Weighing only 170g, this ultra-small fan packs a punch and can easily be stored away in a pocket or bag to be easily grabbed at a moments notice. Charging the device is also a breeze as it is compatible with regular USB ports as well as laptops, power banks and car chargers. JISULIFE Portable Handheld Fan Life9 £35.99 £28.79 Amazon Buy Now Product Description For those happy to carry around something a bit bigger, Amazon is also selling the HandFan Portable Rechargeable Fan for £26.99. With a 6-inch outer frame and five blades, this fan will deliver a stronger breeze than that of smaller alternatives. With six speeds, the fan is able to last up to 34 hours in normal wind mode. Alternatively, Argos has dropped the price of the Bush Pink Handheld & Foldable Desk Fan. Normally retailing at £15, shoppers can now snap up the fan for £12 just in time for festivals to begin. This collapsible fan comes with three speed settings that can be controlled with a single push button. In the lead up to summer, over 900 Amazon shoppers have bought the Life9 Fan in the last 30 days. Currently boasting a 4.3 star rating, some reviewers were blown away by the power that this compact device possesses. One delighted shopper said: "I bought two of these fans for a trip to Mexico. These fans are great and have various settings for how strong you want the fan. They cool you down easily and are very powerful on the top setting. "I love the fact that there are no open fan blades and that they are usb-c rechargeable, you would find it difficult even on top setting to run out of battery in a day even with extensive use. As you go up the power settings the fan becomes louder but that isn't a problem for me. These really are the best handheld fans I have ever had, I'm very impressed." With another five-star reviewer adding: "This little fan puts out more air than my big fan. It feels like I am using an air conditioner. I charge during day and it runs all night and I only use it on the lowest setting." However, a few shoppers complained about the noise of the fan, as one person wrote: "Nice little fan, but the higher you turn the fan up the louder it gets, very loud on high." Another reviewer agreed: "This is a great little fan. It would easily fit into a pocket. I took it away on a recent holiday. There are five power settings and at the highest level it can get quite noisy, but frankly the output outweighs the noise level." Despite this, another top reviewer added: "Keeps me cool during those summer days and the battery life is good for such a compact fan with powerful air flow, with handy lanyard. All and all happy with this purchase." With a further shopper commenting: "WOW! I love love love this fan. Perfect size to keep in a bag or put in your pocket on sunny days. The speed is insane - this really feels like a plug in fan. Reminds me of a well-known brand hairdryer with the fan technology. "I have never been able to find a fan that has beat this. As somebody that suffers from bouts of hyperhydrosis, this has been a life saver. The fan head itself is small, but when held at a distance creates a wide range of breeze."

Shaughna Phillips finds 'incredible' portable aircon unit for under £70
Shaughna was struggling to sleep in the heatwave and asked her followers for a 'miracle' - which she later found in the form of a portable air cooler When the heatwave strikes, even summer enthusiasts can find the balmy weather a bit too much, especially when it wreaks havoc on our sleep and concentration levels. Reality TV's Shaughna Phillips, known for her stint on ' Love Island ', took to Instagram recently in search of something miraculous to battle the sweltering heat. She didn't have to wait too long to find her answer. Say hello to the Igenix IG9703 portable air cooling unit - a small yet surprisingly mighty device that's making waves on Amazon, nabbing an irresistible price drop to £69.99. Shaughna tried out the cooler and declared it "incredible", and it's not hard to understand her enthusiasm. Despite its diminutive stature, this air cooler isn't your typical air con; you won't need to deal with any hefty installations or wall vents. Instead, it draws in hot air, funnels it through a water tank, and spews out a more refreshing, crisp breeze. Plus, there's an oscillation setting to spread the cold air far and wide instead of confining it to one corner, reports OK!. Featuring three fan speed options and a design that's easy to move around, the Igenix IG9703 is ideal for any room - be it bedroom, study, or lounge. It runs quietly enough to ensure your forty winks aren't disturbed and is compact enough to stash away once the hot spell passes. In an Instagram story, the reality star wrote: "I had this aircon unit in my old flat and forgot how brilliant it was. Dusted it off yesterday hoping it would keep me cool and it's incredible. It made my fan look pathetic. I'll find the name for you because you all need it." Shaughna isn't alone in her praise - the unit has garnered hundreds of positive reviews from shoppers who claim it's a total game-changer during muggy summer nights. And at less than £70, it's a budget-friendly choice that doesn't require any drilling or complicated setup. If you're on the hunt for a hassle-free solution to beat the heat, Shaughna may have just discovered your next summer must-have. However, if you're exploring different fans and aircon unit options, you can check out our roundup of 5 fans to beat the heat from Amazon, Shark, Dyson and more. Our head of shopping Zoe can also personally vouch for Dyson's Hepa Purifier Cool Fan, currently on offer for £449.99.
