You probably don’t need me to tell you that Shark’s viral misting fan is a hot commodity right now (quite literally). And while it’s completely sold out on Amazon , I’ve put on my detective hat and found one place where it’s STILLin stock. You can still pick up the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo at Currys on saledown from £129.99 to £99.99. But I can’t imagine it will stay that way for long.
Yep, everyone’s stocking up on the best fans amidst the impending heatwave, but Currys is one of the few places that still has the viral misting fan available – and for a bargain price, too.
As a couple of the colourways are no longer in stock, I’d suggest you snap this deal up before all of them are gone. After all, who knows how long it’ll take for a restock?
SHARK FlexBreeze HydroGo Misting Fan
Shark’s viral misting fan is as popular as ever, and at the time of publishing, four out of the six colourways are still available at Currys – including black, blue, grey and purple.
With temperatures set to rise over the weekend, the world and his dog are rushing to buy the best portable air conditioners and even the best desk fans to take the edge off. But if you’ve been online shopping over the past few days, you’ll know that almost everything is sold out.
The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is one of those products flying off the shelves, and for good reason. As well as being a viral sensation, it’s also one of the best ways to combat the rising heat – especially if you want to spend time in the garden without boiling alive. In fact, our Senior Digital Editor, Jenny, loved it when she tried it out.

And why wouldn’t she? Unlike a regular fan, this misting fan has an integrated water tank, which creates an ultra-fine mist to take the edge off the hot and sticky days we’re having. It’s also completely cordless and can be used either inside or outside, meaning you can use it while chilling out on the sofa or take it to the park for your weekend picnic.
It offers up to 12 hours of cordless run time and even has a 20-metre cooling reach, so you can pop it on one side of the garden and let the breeze do the talking. As if that wasn’t enough, it also offers five fan speeds and two SmartBreeze modes to help you customise your cool.

In fact, the only things better than the fan itself are 1) the fact it’s still in stock at Currys despite completely selling out on Amazon and 2) that it’s currently only £99.99, which is £30 off the RRP.

Sadly, the green and pink colourways are currently out of stock, but four other colourways are ready to become your heatwave hero.
If you’re reading this and they’re no longer in stock, sorry you were too late! But there are some alternatives still available elsewhere.
Meaco MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator
If you fancy getting yourself an Amazon Prime Day discount (albeit a very small one), we’ve rated this fan extremely highly. It doesn’t have a misting attachment and can’t be used inside like the Shark HydroGo, but it’s extremely effective at cooling you down nonetheless.
Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Indoor & Outdoor Fan
If you want something a bit bigger than the HydroGo, the FlexBreeze Pro Mist is its bigger brother. And while the pedestal mode is perfect for weekends in the garden, you can turn it into a tabletop fan just as easily. So, it offers the best of both worlds.
Mister Attachment for Fan
If you don’t quite have the budget for a new fan but want to turn your current fan into a misting one like the Shark, our news writer spotted this hack to do just that. All you need is this £5 attachment and some water.
Run, don’t walk to grab the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo before it sells out… properly!
Summer is prime time to be hot and stuffy – and I’m not just talking about the heat, either. But if you’re struggling with the impending heatwave and seasonal allergies, you’ll be happy to know that one of our top-rated solutions has been slashed by a whopping £200 in the Amazon Prime Day sale. Yep, say hello to your new summer saviour, the BLUEAIR ComfortPure T10i, now just £199 at Amazon.
Coupling one of the best fans with the best air purifiers, this 3-in-1 appliance is normally £399, which is admittedly a significant investment. But until midnight tonight, it’s cheaper than I’ve ever seen it, so you’ll have to act quickly if you want to snap it up.
BLUEAIR ComfortPure T10i
Offering app connectivity and 3-in-1 functionality, this air purifier also acts as a fan during the hotter months of the year and a heater during the colder months. Plus, it’s now 50% off!
As a growing trend in the cooling and home environment realm, air purifier fans are everywhere right now. We’ve also had the pleasure of testing the Blueair ComfortPure T10i, and can confidently say that – even at full price – it’s well worth the money. There’s no harm in getting a 50% discount, though, right?
After all, this appliance really does have it all. As the ‘most powerful triple function air purifier in the market,’ it’s primarily an air purifier, but the cooling function will also be a lifesaver during the heatwave as the ‘Cooling’ mode uses a dual jet stream to offer cold, purified air flow throughout the house.

Thanks to its sleek, compact design, it’s a whole lot smaller than even the best desk fans (and certainly the best portable air conditioners), which means it won’t take up too much space in your home either.
Plus, ranging from just 24-52dB, it’s also whisper-quiet, and our reviewer found that it mostly stayed within the 35.5dB mark in her house, which is about the same level as rustling noise. This means that you can keep a bedroom cool without it compromising on your sleep – which anyone who runs hot and struggles with hay fever will know is normally impossible in a heatwave.
Of course, I understand that this air purifier fan is still somewhat of an investment when you may have already bagged some Amazon Prime Day deals. But the fact that this air purifier can also double-up as one of the best heaters during the colder months is what makes this price even more enticing.

Instead of buying a fan that will take up storage space during the winter when it’s not in use, you can continue using this appliance all year round. What a bargain.

You’ll need to be quick, though, as the Amazon Prime Day sale ends at midnight on the 11th July. And there’s no telling when it will be this cheap again.
Midea SmartAir Cool & Purify Bladeless Fan
Although we haven’t tested this particular model, it’s very similar to the Russell Hobbs Air Purifier Fan I use at home, which is sadly out of stock everywhere. The tower design means it’ll offer immense cooling power, as well as purification.
electriQ Slimline 7000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner
If you definitely still want an air conditioner and you’re struggling to find any in stock, this one is still available at Appliances Direct. We haven’t tested it, but we have tested the ElectriQ 10000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, which is similar, but currently out of stock.
Meaco MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator
Ok, it may not be the biggest discount, but the fact that this highly rated fan has been discounted at all is unheard of. We gave it a glowing review, and it’s perfect if you just want a simple fan for the heatwave this weekend.
This weekend is going to be HOT, so make sure you take advantage of these Amazon Prime Day deals before it’s too late!
If you’ve been looking for ways to stay cool this week, then you’re not alone. As the weather heats up, I’ve been racking my brain trying to find the best cooling product and this £5 mister attachment from Amazon is too good not to share.
With temperatures predicted to hit over 30 degrees in the UK this week, even the best fans will feel like they’re just pushing hot air around your room, which is where knowing the best cooling hacks comes in.
Now, the obvious choice would be to invest in the Shark FlexBreeze Misting Fan , which produces ultra-fine droplets to cool you down, but if you’re not looking to buy a whole new fan, this £5 Amazon budget buy is a great alternative.
Mister Attachment for Fan
The mister attachment is incredibly simple to use. It’s a small plastic container that you can clip onto your fan. Inside the container, there is space for two pots, about a shot glass size. The idea is that you freeze water inside the pots and then add the pot of ice to the attachment so that the air that blows through your fan cools as it goes over the ice.
Essentially is an easier way to execute the DIY air conditioner hack. The mister attachment works to cool you down as the air will cool as it passes over the ice. The ice will also evaporate, cooling the air further.

It’s a much cheaper alternative to the best portable air conditioner, which, while brilliant, can be a little pricey. The mister attachment is also best used in one space, so don’t expect it to cool your home. However, for working from your home office, it’s a game-changer for cooling you down (which is the reason why I’m adding it to my cart).
However, if you plan to use this attachment, then you need to be aware of the safety concerns. Ice and electricity do not mix, so you need to be very careful when this attachment is attached to your fan and only put it on and remove it when the fan is off to avoid electric shocks. The manufacturers of this attachment have stated the product has a double-sealed structure to stop leaks.

If you are concerned about using the attachment, it is better to stay safe and opt for one of these alternatives instead.

EasyAcc

With a 7L water tank, this fan will provide a steady stream of cool mist for at least 12 hours. Despite it’s huge capacity, the fan only weighs 2.5kg making it a great portable choice.
Do you know of any other game-changing products to help you beat the heat?
As Ideal Home’s resident vacuum expert, you’d think I’d be all over robot vacuums. And I am. However, I’ve always struggled with the high price tags attached to these hands-free appliances. So, imagine my surprise when I spotted that the price of the already-pretty-affordable Eufy G50 Robot Vacuum Cleaner has been slashed from £199.99 to just £99 on Amazon.
I’ve tested some of the best vacuum cleaners on the market, and while there are some amazing Amazon Prime Day deals to be had on my top-rated models right now, this robot vacuum cleaner deal has got me the most excited. In fact, the bargain price coupled with the fact that this model is Amazon’s #1 bestseller has finally convinced me to invest in my first robot vacuum cleaner.
eufy G50 Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Featuring 4,000 Pa of strong suction (for reference, 2,000-3,000 Pa is usually sufficient for general, everyday cleaning), 120-minute run time, a large 600ml dust bin, active detangling roller brush (which is perfect if you regularly need to vacuum pet hair), and bluetooth connection, this bargain robot vacuum offers a lot for a very affordable price.
It also runs at just 55dB, so you can even have it running at night without it compromising your sleep. And what could be better than waking up to squeaky, crumb-free floors?!

But it’s the price of the Eufy G50 Robot Vacuum that has really won me over. For a big-name robot vacuum brand like Eufy or Roomba, you’d typically expect to spend upwards of £500 (and sometimes over £1,000) to welcome one into your home – and that’s not something I’ve previously been willing to spend. And while the G50 is relatively affordable at full price anyway, the current £99 price tag for Amazon Prime Day is hard to ignore.
The reviews speak for themselves, too. At the time of writing, the Eufy G50 Robot Vacuum is the #1 bestseller in the robot vacuum category and has racked up an impressive 4.4-star rating with almost 10,000 reviews. One happy customer even calls it an ‘efficient workhorse’ while another who has already purchased one during the Amazon Prime Day event said, ‘For £99 I think it’s a bargain. Will probably get another one for upstairs.’

On that note, however, it’s important to note that this £99 robot vacuum won’t stay this price forever. With the Amazon Prime Day deals set to end at midnight on the 11th July, you don’t have long to snap up this deal. So, grab it while you can!

Alternatively, if this isn’t quite the right robot vacuum for you, these are a few alternatives in the Amazon Prime Day sale I’d suggest instead.
Lefant M210P Robot Vacuum Cleaner
This model is even cheaper than the Eufy robot vacuum right now, making it 63% cheaper than its RRP! It also has impressive reviews, and this particular model has four cleaning modes for squeaky-clean floors.
roborock Q5 Pro+ Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop
The beauty of this robot vacuum cleaner is that it offers self-emptying capabilities and has a 2.5L dust bag (which means you only need to empty it every 7 weeks). It also offers hands-free floor mopping, too.
eufy Omni C20 Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop
If you want to stick with the tried and trusted Eufy brand, this is a slightly more advanced option. Currently almost 40% off in the Amazon Prime Day sale, this model offers auto emptying, washing and drying. Plus, it has 7,000 Pa of suction for deeper cleaning.
If you’ve been waiting to bag the best Amazon Prime Day deals, stop looking! I’ve found it… and I’ll definitely be adding this robot vacuum to my basket.
If you’re struggling to get a hold of a decent fan or air conditioner right now, you’re not alone. With stock flying out faster than ever and delivery delays hitting lots of major retailers (ahem, Amazon), staying cool at home has become a bit of a challenge.
But if you’re trying to find something (anything!) that will help before the hot spell lands, the Meaco pedestal fan, £180 at Argos could be your best bet.
It’s not on offer right now, but it’s still one of the best fans you can buy in terms of performance and quiet operation. Meaco is a trusted name in the world of air conditioners and fans, known for combining efficient airflow with impressively low noise levels, and I already love how quiet the Meaco Sefte portable fan is.

And this pedestal model is no exception – it’s Quiet Mark-certified whisper quiet, meaning you can run it all night without being disturbed, and shoppers consistently give it 5-star reviews, praising how quiet, powerful and easy to use it is.
And the best thing? Argos has next day delivery available, which means you can get your hands on it before the next heatwave really takes hold. That’s a big advantage over Amazon and other sites, where delivery is often pushed back by days, or worse, products are just sold out by the time you hit checkout.

This model is packed with features, too. It’s height adjustable for one, making it perfect as a desk fan as well as a pedestal fan. It’s also got 12 fan speeds, an energy-efficient motor, wide oscillation, an eco mode, a timer and a remote control.
With fans and air conditioners almost impossible to find right now and the temperatures rising by the day, this 5-star rated Meaco fan is a solid, smart buy. It’s sleek, sturdy and far quieter than a lot of pedestal fans we’ve tested – and crucially, it’s still available.

At the time of writing, it’s still in stock, but I recommend you move fast.
If you find it’s sold out, all is not lost, people. I’ve rounded up a few other top-rated fans to shop from Argos with next-day or two-day delivery.
