With temperatures soaring to as high as 33 degrees in some parts of the UK this week, many shoppers are turning to Amazon to find a fan that'll keep them cool and comfortable throughout the heatwave.
The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Cordless Fan, coined the 'perfect fan' by impressed users, is a powerful, portable indoor and outdoor fan that not only impressively cools, but mists, too, keeping you cool no-matter the temperature increase.
Perfect for at home or on the go, this top-selling fan can be powered by both the 20m power lead or impressive 12-hour battery, meaning that whether you're inside or outdoors, you'll be kept cool and comfortable with ease.
Small but mighty, the fan boasts a compact size, weighing less than 2.1kg, making it perfect for taking out and about with you – whether you're sunbathing or camping. Plus, with rain and UV resistance, you can rest assured it'll remain durable on your travels.
'This fan saved us during the heatwave.' Raved one impressed shopper. 'It has great battery life, very low noise, good power fan. It is small so you can take it with you outdoor. It works while charging too.'
And for when you're staying indoors, the Shark fan boasts a whisper-quiet operation, making it an excellent choice for cooling you down on hot nights without keeping you awake with aggressive sound.
The FlexBreeze fan is super powerful, too, boasting five fan speeds and two smart breeze modes to customise your cool. At maximum fan speed, your cool airflow can reach up to 20m, while the 45 degrees vertical tilt means you can get cool air just where you need it most.
But perhaps the most coveted feature of this top-rated fan is its unique misting function, which utilises Shark's HydroGo Evaporating Cooling technology to produce ultra-fine droplets to cool you down, reducing the temperature by up to 2 degrees.
And yes, this handy misting feature can be used indoors and outdoors, too, while the ultra-fine misting particles won't leave your floor wet.
Shoppers can't get enough of the fan, either, calling it the 'best fan I've ever bought' and 'small but impressive'.
'Being a typical Brit, at the first sign of summer I needed to get a new fan, but traditional fans just move the hot air around in the room - then I spotted this - total game changer,' raved one five-star reviewer.
'The misting feature is AMAZING! Makes me/the room so much cooler, would definitely recommend investing in this. Run...don't walk...'
Another added: 'A fantastic fan with great features all around. Its battery life, considering its small form factor, is amazing. My favourite feature is the mist setting it has which keeps me super cool at night. Super quiet at too and doesn't affect my sleep. Highly recommend!'
'Small and mighty! I wasn't expecting much due to the size of this fan but it out does itself! It's much better than my bigger unbranded one.
A third wrote: 'Has the option to add water so it mists you also which is delightful in this heat! Can charge and use wireless as well which is handy, very good battery life. Blows COLD air not just the same warm stuffy air around. 100% recommend.'

American Mayer announces candidacy for FIA president
SILVERSTONE, England, July 4 (Reuters) - American Tim Mayer announced on Friday he will stand against Emirati incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem in a December vote for president of the FIA, motorsport's world governing body. The 59-year-old, who served as a Formula One steward until last year, is the son of former McLaren team principal Teddy Mayer. "I believe I am the right person, at the right time, in the right place," Mayer told a press conference at a hotel near Silverstone, the British Grand Prix circuit. He added that he had been working on his campaign for six months. "What I see is a failure in leadership right now," he said. "Instead of reform, we've seen performance. Behind the stagecraft, we've been left with the illusion of progress; and the illusion of leadership, while the most senior team he appointed has departed." Mayer said last November he had been dismissed as a steward via text message by an assistant to Ben Sulayem. The FIA disputes that detail. The American said standing was not an act of revenge but about driving the organisation forward -- with his campaign branded FIAforward. There was no immediate response from the FIA. Ben Sulayem, who has made much of returning the governing body to profit, has been a controversial figure since his election in 2021. There have been battles with Liberty Media over commercial matters and accusations of sexism, and there has been a high turnover of senior staff. Critics also say statute changes , approved by FIA members, limit the powers of audit and ethics committees and make it harder for rivals to stand against him. Mayer described his bid as a Herculean task with the deck stacked in Ben Sulayem's favour, given recent statute changes, and only five months to campaign and win votes from member federations. Mayer did not say who would be on his presidential list, a requirement for standing, which he admitted still had some open positions. He said he had good support from Motorsport UK and had informed Stefano Domenicali, chief executive of Liberty Media-owned Formula One, of his plans. "The job now is to go out and explain to lots of small clubs around the world ... why we can do a better job," said Mayer. "Explaining how we can bring value and restructure the FIA to do a better job. "I do feel restructuring needs to happen." Ben Sulayem has already announced he is seeking a second term and until Friday had no declared opponent, with Spain's double world rally champion Carlos Sainz Sr. recently deciding not to stand. Mayer said he would have stood even if Sainz had decided to run. He also dismissed any suggestion of a conflict of interest regarding the historic family connection with McLaren. The FIA is the governing body for F1, the world rally championship and Formula E among other series.

Tesla sales grow again as EVs account for a quarter of car sales in June
Latest new car sales figures show a sharp increase in the take-up of electric cars with 46,354 new EVs registered during June, an increase of 39.1 per cent on June 2024. That means a quarter of all cars sold in June were fully electric. So far in 2025, 224,841 electric cars have been registered, accounting for 21.6 per cent of the entire car market. Even though that represents over 34.6per cent growth year-on-year, that still falls short of the government target of 28 per cent market share for EVs in 2025. Tesla returned to the top of the EV sales charts with sales up 14 per cent year-on year. Deliveries of the new Tesla Model Y have started to come on stream with 4,181 of them delivered to new owners in June. Deliveries of the Tesla Model 3 also picked up with 3,538 sold. Although the overall van market has declined so far in 2025, demand for electric vans has grown by a massive 52.8 per cent. However, that also falls well behind the government's ZEV Mandate target for vans of 16 per cent for 2025. Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said, 'A second consecutive month of growth for the new car market is good news, as is the positive performance of EVs. That EV growth, however, is still being driven by substantial industry support with manufacturers using every channel and unsustainable discounting to drive activity, yet it remains below mandated levels. As we have seen in other countries, government incentives can supercharge the market transition, without which the climate change ambitions we all share will be under threat.'

UK's rarest cars: 1964 Vauxhall Cresta Radford, the only one left
In 1964, owning a Cresta Radford meant you had – hopefully – joined the social elite. With such a car, your neighbours and business colleagues alike would recognise you as a person of substance. But 61 years later, Tony Park's Vauxhall is believed to be the sole surviving example. The Vauxhall Radford, as it was billed in publicity materials, resulted from Harold Radford (Coachbuilders) Ltd diversifying from Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. In 1962, Peter Sellers commissioned its coachbuilding rival Hooper to undertake £1,800 of work on his Morris Mini Cooper to create the ultimate town car. The firm also produced a Ford Zodiac Mk3 Hooper. That year, Harold Radford, a figure the press once described as a 'socialite coachbuilder', met with David Jones, Vauxhall's head of styling, at the London Motor Show. The event marked the launch of the Cresta PB and Radford saw the potential for a specially equipped model for motorists with Jaguar MkX aspirations but not quite a Jaguar MkX income. On 11 October 1963, this newspaper reported on a '2.6-litre Vauxhall Cresta for the business executive'. Such an important individual clearly merited a Cresta with special wheel trims, a new grille, quad headlights and integral fog lamps. There was also a rear window demister (still an uncommon device in 1963), extra brake lights and marker lamps on the C-pillars. Separate height-adjustable reclining front seats replaced the standard bench, with Radford stating: 'Needless to say, they are trimmed in finest quality hide.' The Cresta Radford's list of equipment further included lambswool carpeting and West of England cloth headlining, a transistor radio with an electric aerial, red warning lights in the front doors, an ammeter and an oil pressure gauge. Meanwhile, rear seat passengers benefited from adjustable reading lamps, picnic tables and a glove locker incorporated into the central armrest. Sybaritic buyers could also specify a full-length Webasto sunroof and a sliding glass division between front and rear seats. As with the standard Cresta, the transmission choices were three-speed manual, as on Park's car, with or without overdrive, or a two-pedal Hydramatic self-shifter. Vauxhall marked the Radford via a select group of dealers in areas with well-heeled customers. The in-house journal Vauxhall Motorist enthused: 'If you want your motoring in real tycoon style without the super-tax price-label of prestige limousines, you ought to try the new Vauxhall Radford – an extra-luxury model that boosts your prestige without busting your bank balance.' Even allowing for the £466 10s price of the conversion, the Cresta Radford was still well below the £2,000 threshold for claiming tax relief on a 'business car'. By 1964, the Radford, as with the rest of the PB range, gained a 3.3-litre straight-six engine. The Telegraph found: 'It is even possible to start in top gear – I know because I tried it!' and Autocar thought the 3,294cc engine had 'an electrifying effect' on the PB. At £1,450 10s, the Radford was cheaper than the Humber Imperial at £1,796 or the Vanden Plas Princess 4-Litre R for £1,995. The Rover 3-Litre Saloon was £1,770, but its sober appearance lacked the Vauxhall's celebration of conspicuous consumption. Only 25 Cresta Radfords departed the coachbuilder's works before the PC series replaced the PB in the autumn of 1965. The following year, Vauxhall created an in-house uber-Cresta in the form of the splendidly named Viscount. Park's example originally hailed from Brighton; he became its third owner in 2022. After the interior was restored, the Radford was once more the ideal vehicle for 'lovers of good living' and even served as a caravan tow car. The Cresta Radford is a charming footnote in Vauxhall's history, one that illustrates how Harold Radford adapted to a changing world. By 1964, Autocar reported the company 'specialise more in body conversions than new bodywork', from the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud SIII Countryman to the Mini de Ville and the 'executive Vauxhall Cresta'. And today, Park's unique example still looks set for a trip to London's glittering West End to see Frankie Vaughan in cabaret at the Talk of the Town.
