'Powerful' Shark fan falls to record low price amid heatwave
Amazon shoppers are beating the heatwave with the Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan that's now cheaper than Shark's own price Amazon has undercut Shark's price for a cooling fan that's on offer for a record low price. The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Cordless Indoor and Outdoor Fan has been reduced from £249.99 to £219. A similar deal is available direct from Shark, where the same fan is down from £249.99 to £219.99. Arguably the main selling point of the Shark fan is its misting feature, powered by the portable and removable MistPro tank. This can be filled with chilled water to enjoy a cool mist outdoors, with Shark claiming it lowers temperatures by up to 6C. The fan can be converted between pedestal and tabletop fan modes at the touch of a button. Simply press, lift away, and enjoy misting and oscillation in both modes. The FlexBreeze boasts five fan speeds and two SmartBreeze modes said to simulate natural wind patterns capable of reaching up to 20 meters. It also has 180° of side-to-side oscillation and a 55° tilt, allowing complete control of the wind direction. The fan can be powered through its main plug for continuous power or cordlessly with a battery life of up to 24 hours, with the portability allowing Brits to beat the heat around the garden. For those looking for a more budget-friendly fan, the JYMIPA Standing Fan (£95.99) has received no negative feedback from Amazon customers and is said to be 'whisper quiet'. Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan £249.99 £219 Amazon Get the deal here Product Description Those preferring a bladeless fan can opt for the Russell Hobbs Premium Tower Fan (£59) from Dunelm, which boasts a 4.9-star rating and a flexible seven-hour timer. But the Shark FlexBreeze has won over shoppers, racking up a 4.2-star rating at Amazon and a 4.8 at Shark. One five-star review says: 'The fan is extremely quiet even on higher speeds and acts as advertised, lowers temperatures without mist on, with the mist on outside it works even better. It's expensive but looking at the build quality I'm hoping it will last for years.' Another said: 'A good powerful fan providing a lovely breeze to keep things cool in the conservatory when the sun is out. The water mist is strictly for outdoors as the spray does generate quite a lot of large droplets that gather on the base plate and will also moisten any items nearby. The mist is perfect for those summer barbecues keeping the chef nice and cool. Kids love standing in front of it to help keep them cool while playing in the garden.' However, the same buyer added: 'Only drawbacks would have been nice to have more angle on the oscillation and the ability to adjust the height and not just the angle of the fan.' This happy customer said of the Shark FlexBreeze: 'A must have, whatever the weather. Just another SharkNinja product you never knew you needed. The fan is incredibly effective when used both with and without the misting feature. It's sturdy but easy to manoeuvre and the ability to run for hours off the rechargeable battery is a game changer.'

Prices start as low as $49 for Shark devices or $29 for Ninja appliances. Smart TVs: deals from $88 @ WalmartWalmart has a massive sale on smart TVs. The sale includes TVs from brands like TCL, Hisense, JVC, and Walmart's own Onn brand. After discount, prices start as low as $88. Keep in mind that there are a few 1080p sets included in the sale. I recommend sticking with 4K resolution as the price difference isn't all that great. Light up your outdoor space at night with this set of string lights that are 100 feet long and include 50 bulbs. You'll want to spend all night under the stars with these lights that emit a soft white glow and will make a stylish statement hanging in your backyard or over your patio. This umbrella is the perfect addition to your backyard or patio. It provides optimal shade while adding some elegant style. The umbrella surface is UV-proof, waterproof and fade resistant so you can use it on both sunny and rainy days. Walmart is taking $140 off this folding Adirondack Chair, a durable piece of patio furniture that doesn't come cheap. But for just $99, this foldable, weather-proof design (it's constructed from high-density polyethylene lumber) is a steal. Reviewers rave these are easy to put together and are built to last for many summers to come. One buyer even notes it's "a very solid chair for the money!" This small outdoor conversation set is available for $130 off the regular price. Made of woven rattan, high-quality steel frames, and tempered glass table top, this adorable set will be the perfect spot to relax or enjoy a cocktail outdoors this spring.

Perfect for cozy spring nights by the fire pit, this set of rocking chairs feature a comfortable high-back design and plush cushions. The set also comes with a 2-tier coffee table. It will make a lovely addition to your porch or patio. I've got to recommend a TV when it's under $100, especially when it's 32-inch and comes from Walmart's very own Onn. range. It's a sturdy set with Roku Smart TV running the show., meaning you'll get access to a lot of streaming. So, if you're looking for a simple TV that'll let you watch your movies and shows in HD-quality, this one's at the breathtakingly cheap price of $88. If you want a new TV but don't want to overspend, the Hisense U8N Mini-LED TV offers an unbelievable price-to-performance ratio. In addition to its Mini-LED panel, it also offers beautiful contrast and colors as well as support for a 144Hz refresh rate, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision Atmos, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. In our Hisense U8N review we said the Editor's Choice TV is one of the best mini-LED TVs you can buy. The C4 is LG's current flagship OLED TV. It's powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/ HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we said content looked colorful and dazzlingly bright on the new C4 series. It's the best version we've seen of the company's top-selling OLED TV range. What if your TV could hide the fact it was a TV? The Frame by Samsung does just that, disguising itself as a piece of art whenever it's not in use. That's on top of a 4K QLED display, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos support, and all the smart features afforded by Samsung's Tizen OS. This is the cheapest price we've seen for the 55-inch model. The Keurig K-Express is your top choice if you're looking for a low-cost single-serve coffee maker, or a pop of color in your kitchen, as it's available in 6 colorways at Walmart. At just 6.5 inches wide, it's also compact and is ideal for small spaces. You can also brew one cup after another, without waiting for the water to reheat, which sits within the 36oz reserve. If you're after a basic yet versatile air fryer, this is a great deal. With a 4-quart, basket capacity, it's sufficient to cook fit 2 pounds of fries. This comes with convenient functions such as air fry, roast, bake and broil. Plus, at such a low price this is a deal not to be missed! Get rid of the tiniest of unwanted particles and air contaminants with the Shark Clean Sense Air Purifier. Its anti-allergen HEPA filter is designed to tackle everything form smog and toxins to dust and dander, giving you healthier, purified indoor air quality. The Ninja Creami has been making waves (scoops?) in the home cook world. We gave it 4 stars in our Ninja Creami review. We loved how easy it was to make delicious homemade ice cream. There's a huge range of recipe styles available, such as milkshake, froyo, and even gelato! And as if it couldn't get any better — the Creami is also easy to clean. Leave your spring cleaning to your digital assistant. The Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum features precision home mapping, powerful suction that makes it great for households with pets, and hands-free cleaning thanks to its Alexa/Google Assistant support. The Shark FlexStyle Hair Styling System can be used as a powerful, no-heat-damage hair dryer or an ultra-versatile multi-styler letting you curl, volumize, smooth, or dry. It's often compared to the popular Dyson Airwrap, but it's currently less than half the price (and might even be the superior choice performance-wise). We recommend jumping on this deal! A budget friendly option, these wireless headphones offer playback for up to 57 hours, and recharge in as little as 2 hours. They also have JBL Pure Bass sound. Although we haven't tested this model, they receive 4.5 out of 5 stars from Amazon customers for sound quality and value for money. Our JBL Go 4 review determined that this is the perfect portable Bluetooth speaker for those on a budget. Small enough to take traveling, it still packs enough performance to soundtrack small gatherings while bringing useful features like IP67 water and dust protection, and multi-point connectivity. It also comes in a variety of fun colors. Sony's budget on-ear cans are inexpensive, but they bring the sound where it counts. They earned a 4.5-star rating in our Sony WH-CH520 review, thanks to their top-notch sound, intuitive controls, and lengthy battery life of 50 hours. 3 minutes of charge nets you 1.5 hours of use as well, if you run out and need a quick boost. The SRS-XE200 is an IP67 certified Bluetooth speaker that's waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. It offers up to 16 hours of battery life and includes a built-in strap that makes it easy to take on the go. There's also a buit-in mic with echo cancelling technology. This is one the best bang for your buck party speakers on the market right now. Users reported that the speaker has thumping bass that doesn't distort even at loud volumes. This speaker has two 1/4" inputs at the reverse for a mic and a guitar, should you want to soundtrack the party on a more personal level. The XM5 are Sony's premium noise-cancelling headphones and our pick for the best headphones on the market. The large, over-ear cushions are incredibly comfortable and the active noise cancellation is excellent. Plus, despite ANC being a drain on battery life, these amazing headphones still give you up to 30 hours with ANC enabled. You can push that up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned off. The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This newer model includes a USB-C charging case. The 2nd-Gen Apple Watch SE sports an S8 processor, Crash Detection capability, and watchOS 9. In our Apple Watch SE review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find. Just note this sold for $149 back on Black Friday. The Apple Watch 10 boasts a thinner and lighter design, faster charging and a new sleep apnea detection feature. Some other new key features include 30% more screen area, rounded corners and a first-ever wide angle OLED display. The device also features advanced health insights, including the ability to take an ECG anytime. It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and very good speed.

This Shark TurboBlade Fan racked up millions of views on Instagram. I tested it to see if it actually lives up to the hype
This week marks the start of summer, which means I'm officially serious about shopping for products that'll help me beat the heat — and apparently, so is my For You Page. That's how I first stumbled upon the Shark TurboBlade Tower Fan, which has since racked up over 75 million views on Instagram and TikTok. But is it as good as the internet thinks? I used it while I slept to find out. Shark TurboBlade Tower Fan The ultra-sleek TurboBlade Bladeless Tower Fan isn't just a warm weather essential; it's also a statement piece for any room in your home. It comes in two neutral colors, white and charcoal gray, and features a unique T-bar design that delivers highly customizable airflow, 10 speed settings and various modes, from Natural Breeze to Sleep. Trust me, you don't want to sleep on this fan. For as long as I've lived with my husband, we've always had the same bedtime battle: He runs hot, and I run cold. So, when I found out that the Shark TurboBlade Fan (which first hit the market back in March) could pivot and twist to be vertical, horizontal or even diagonal, it looked like the answer to our temperature feuds. And based on its virality, I'm guessing we weren't the only ones who thought so. It should come as no surprise that plenty of people consider themselves hot sleepers, which means they're always searching for products to keep them cool at night. It makes sense that an innovative fan with customizable airflow, like the Shark TurboBlade, would rack up millions of views on social media. First, let's address the obvious: Yes, it really does resemble a hammerhead shark. But it's exactly that innovative, rotating T-bar design that truly sets this cooling fan apart. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that you can customize and circulate airflow up to 80 feet in any direction you want. And regardless of whether you're using the vertical Tower or horizontal Air Blanket mode, the bar is bladeless, so you can sleep soundly knowing it's safe for your little ones and fur babies. After testing the fan in rooms of various sizes —my small bedroom, my spacious living room and even my windowless kitchen — I found that it was comparable to my built-in AC unit, which always cools my stuffy apartment pretty quickly. I was especially impressed with the magnetic remote, which allows you to control the 10 speeds, time and other specialty modes (like Sleep, Breeze Boost and Natural Breeze). Sleep preferences are obviously personal, but if you're like me and need a little noise to doze off, I've found that Sleep mode is the most soothing. During the day, I almost always gravitate toward Natural Breeze since it genuinely feels like having the windows open on a breezy, summer day. To be honest, I was pretty surprised to find out this viral Shark fan doesn't offer in-app control — especially since that was one of my favorite features of our previous Dyson Tower Fan — and the TurboBlade isn't exactly cheap at $300. But given the seemingly endless customization options, it has earned a permanent spot in our bedroom regardless, and thankfully, it has solved the temperature battles with my husband. He can finally rotate a fan so it's only angled toward him and pivot it away from me at night, and during the day, our home can reap the benefits from that cool breeze of circulating air. While the TurboBlade is definitely worth the hype, I'm aware that dropping $300 on a new home appliance is not realistic for everyone (especially in this economy!). So, I'd also highly recommend checking out Shark's other new fan, the FlexBreeze, which is half the price and has also earned fame on Instagram. Are bladeless fans better than traditional fans? Are bladeless fans better than traditional fans? Whether one type of cooling fan is 'better' than another truly depends on your personal preferences, such as power, noise level, safety and price. Typically, traditional fans are more powerful, require minimal setup and are significantly less expensive, while bladeless fans are safer, more stylish, quieter and easier to clean. How tall is the Shark TurboBlade? How tall is the Shark TurboBlade? The sleek yet substantial fan stands 44.84 inches tall and measures 31.57 inches wide when assembled in its standard, upright T-shape position. CNN Underscored has a team of skilled writers and editors who have many years of experience testing, researching and recommending products, and they ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted. We talk to top experts when applicable to make certain we are testing each product accurately, recommending only the best products and considering the pros and cons of each item. For this story, director of social Stephanie Griffin tried the viral Shark TurboBlade fan to see if it's actually worth the hype.

I just tested Shark's FlexBreeze misting fan — and it's 20% off now to beat the massive summer heat wave
I wasn't built to endure the heat, so on the rare occasion that London turns into a sweaty furnace of death, I close the curtains, take a cold shower, and use it as an excuse to test a new fan. And it's only been three days, but I can already confidently say that the Shark FlexBreeze is the most impressive cooling fan I have ever used. With over 200 million people in U.S. also facing a scorching heat wave for the coming week, now is a great time to up your fan game. With an in-built misting mechanism that sprays a fine jet of water while it fans you, it makes me feel like a crisp head of lettuce being given the cooling mist treatment in a fancy grocery store. Best of all, if you're looking for a new fan to help you get through the summer, the Shark FlexBreeze is reduced right now. Down from $249 to $199 at and reduced by £30 for U.K.-based readers (like me), it's an immediate summer must-have. Shark's FlexBreeze Pro Mist is Shark's smartest cooling fan yet. It offers immense versatility, with a portable design (complete with carry handle and even a bag) and can also be converted to a freestanding fan. It's also rechargeable, and features a removable misting attachment for next-level cooling. U.K.-based readers can also pick up a great saving on the FlexBreeze when shopping direct at Shark. This £30 saving is pretty generous considering how fast fans are selling out nationwide, and it's a heatwave staple that will come in handy year after year. This fan is super versatile. You can leave it plugged in for day-to-day use, but it's also portable thanks to its rechargeable battery, which means you could literally take it on a road trip if you wanted. Better yet, it's got a removable water tank that attaches easily to the fan head. This emits a super fine mist that's blown towards you as the blades blast cooling air in your direction. And if you're wondering, that feels as good as it sounds. I actually got a little too comfortable sitting in front of my fan yesterday, and it was only when I had to run some errands around the house that I realised the apartment had become unbearably hot. The versatility with this fan is next-level. It lifts in and out of its base with the click of a button, and has folding-down legs that will prop it up for both indoor and outdoor use. You should note that Shark warns you to only use the mister when outdoors. Have I been following that advice? No, I have not. I've been giving myself the full grocery store experience while sat on the couch watching Love Island. But I can see why Shark warns not to spray water inside your house, filled with all your electricals and probably some furniture that you don't want to mop down.
