Shoppers rush to buy Slush Puppie machine to beat the heat at home
The simple-to-use slushy maker is available at Amazon and comes with a host of syrups to whip up the ultimate retro refreshment Longer and hotter days are finally here, and while the majority have been looking forward to warmer weather, staying cool and comfortable during the days is becoming more of a challenge. When the heatwave hits, there's nothing quite like an ice-cold slushie to help take the edge off, and shoppers can find one voted an Amazon Choice product by shoppers. For those who want to recreate those nostalgic, frozen treats from the comfort of their homes, the Fizz Creations Slush Puppie Snow Cone Machine bundle is available on Amazon for £56.99 and it's a great option for entertaining on sunny days. The clever machine makes it simple to whip up refreshing snow cones and slushies from the kitchen counter. The bundle includes a pack of four iconic flavours: Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, Cola, and Lemon & Lime, so there's something for every taste. Featuring a handy ice-shaving mechanism, the Fizz Creations Slush Puppie machine transforms ordinary ice cubes into finely crushed snow, ready to soak up those classic-tasting syrups. Home-made slush machines have been given a premium facelift in recent times, with foodie kitchen brand Ninja launching their Ninja SLUSHi earlier this year when it immediately sold out. It's now back in stock and comes with a free Ninja cooling bottle so you can carry your cold drinks on the move. Known for its powerful blending and ice-crushing abilities, it's a popular pick for those wanting café-style frozen drinks at home. Also on sale at Ninja, customers can find the Ninja CREAMi deluxe with a £30 discount, it's ideal for making a plethora of your family's favourite frozen treats. The Slush Puppie brand holds a special place for many, and this home version captures the same flavours and texture found at seaside arcades and cinemas. It's a fun way to cool down and adds a playful, retro touch to any gathering. Replacement syrups are also available to buy separately, with plenty of flavours to choose from. As temperatures climb, a home slushie machine is a fun and refreshing addition to any kitchen space. Shoppers have taken to the reviews to share their thoughts. One person wrote: "A lovely little addition to my bar; the kids loved it." A second comment read: "A good product, which keeps the children amused for ages." A third person shared: "Perfect gift for a 6-year-old." However, one customer noted: "Great item, but the syrups are incredibly sour. Trying to find out the right ratio." The gadget is available at Amazon now, among a host of other kitchenware deals launched of Amazon's forthcoming Prime Day event which is set to run across the retailer from July 8.

Airflow can be tailored by using the three speed settings it comes complete with, while the firm's advanced engineering means it operates at an "imperceptible level", making the fan for use in the living room, office space and even overnight. Igenix DF0030 Oscillating Tower Fan £29.99 Amazon Buy here Product Description A few other nifty features include a two-hour timer, alongside an intelligent overheat protection that automatically shuts down the fan in case it overheats, adding a level of protection and peace of mind to buyers. Another popular option on Amazon for the heatwave is the Shark FlexBreeze TableMate Cordless Fan that is now £99, down from £149.99. While it features a different design, it is said to provide a breeze that can be felt "by up to 20M away." Like the tower-style design?

Very quiet, I actually find it soothing, it doesn't rattle, it doesn't smell. "It doesn't do anything wrong; it's a 5 star off me, I love it, kids love it, we all love it. Absolute life saver in this heat. Can't wait for bed tonight." Someone who called it "the perfect antidote to the heatwave" added: "Really like this tower-style oscillating fan. "It has a sleek and classy design, turns beautifully, it's not too loud (obviously it's not silent but it won't mean you have to shout to anyone else in the room in normal conversation), and the timer function means you can't forget about it and leave it on for hours on end, running up your electric bill while you're out of the house." Another delighted shopper wrote: "Works great! Ideal for the hot weather. It was a Godsend during the heatwave, I was so glad I put it in my bedroom at night." Not everyone has been left impressed with the power and sound levels, as one three-star review read: "Good for space saving but too noisy for me to have in room and not powerful enough for the noise payoff!" Although, more customers were happy with their purchase, as another said: "Excellent fan, really makes a difference in the mini heatwave we recently had and cooled the area down. Very effective even on the lowest setting." While someone else praised: "This has been very helpful in the London summers/ heatwaves. Works well. Noise level is low. Occupies less space. Price is also reasonable. Highly recommended. Thank you." Beat the heat by purchasing the Igenix DF0030 Oscillating Tower Fan for under £30 on Amazon now.

I can't wait to wear this by the pool on holiday and I will feel comfortable swimming in it too." A repeat purchaser wrote: "I've got a few different colours in this style of swimsuit now as it's a very flattering fit whilst also being very comfortable and secure." By contrast, one shopper argued: "First, the sizing is off. My normal size is 8W and that size was comically large. I reordered the 7.5W and while the fit was fine, the toe strap rubbed the top of my big toe. I gave these 2 stars because they're really cute--just wish they were comfortable." Nevertheless, another shopper happy with the fit wrote: "These sandals are COMFORTABLE. Wore them straight from the box for door to door work and kept them on for over 12 hours." Another glowing review read: "Absolutely the most comfortable perfect sandals you have EVER worn!!! It's like walking on clouds!! Going to buy a couple of pairs as I love them so much!!!"

Amazon cuts price of lawn seed that grows 'beautiful grass' that's 'healthy and thick'
Amazon cuts price of lawn seed that grows 'beautiful grass' that's 'healthy and thick' The seed is said to be coated in an aqua gel to help protect it from drying out Amazon has reduced Gro-Sure lawn seed ahead of summer (Image: Amazon ) Amazon has slashed the price of a top-rated lawn seed that gardeners are raving about. The Gro-Sure Aqua Gel Coated Smart Grass Lawn Seed has been reduced to £11 for a 1kg box. The larger box may be better value, as it's now down to £32.98. This bulk pack is enough to cover a generous 80 sq m area – about the size of eight car parking spaces – while the smaller box can rejuvenate a 25 sq m patch of garden. Labelled as an Amazon Choice product, more than 1,000 green thumbs have snapped up this grass seed in just the last month. READ MORE: Waitrose's £2 plants 'smell like vanilla ice cream' Touted for its cutting-edge aqua gel coating that hinders dehydration during germination and a special blue coat that deters birds and lets you see where seeds have been laid, it's touted as a must-have for any gardening enthusiast, reports Birmingham Live. One satisfied customer shared: "Very beautiful grass grew after 4 weeks, I will definitely use it next time." Another complimented the product saying: "I dug up my old lawn as it was dying and full of weeds, fed the ground with fertiliser and scattered the seed and covered with fine top soil. "Within a week, the grass has started coming through and is growing everyday, the grass tops feel solid and strong so I know it is the best seed for our lawn and will look healthy and thick. It is worth paying a bit more as you get the quality." Love dreamy Welsh homes? Sign up to our newsletter here This is the time of year when many gardeners are looking to re-seed their lawn (Image: SHARED CONTENT UNIT ) Echoing the positive sentiment, another user confirmed: "Grass seed germinates well and has a high success rate. The grass is resilient and thick enough to withstand pet activity. Lovely thick green appearance. Easy to use, would recommend." However, one customer was left unsatisfied, stating: "Very disappointed that the seed did not germinate." Amazon touts the grass seed with the promise: "Guaranteed to grow* grass seed that will grow in shady, hardwearing, patchy or full sun areas." They add that it's "Ideal for over seeding, repairs or new lawn establishment." For those interested, the grass seed can be ordered from Amazon via this link.
