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? Then the Bush Digital Grey Tower Fan, available for £43.33 over at Argos offers similar features such as an oscillating function and three speed settings to choose from.
As for the Igenix Tower Fan, it's currently a popular buy on Amazon, averaging an impressive 4.5 rating based on over 5,000 reviews that have praised it as an "absolute lifesaver" and the "perfect antidote to the heatwave."
One shopper exclaimed: "I was in two minds because of some negative reviews! Don't be fooled! This fan is absolutely superb! 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.

Amazon cooling blanket that's the 'best thing ever' for night sweats now 20% off

Amazon cooling blanket that's the 'best thing ever' for night sweats now 20% off The popular Ailemei direct cooling blanket for night sweats is currently on sale at Amazon The specialist blanket helps keep users cool on sticky summer nights (Image: Amazon ) While warm summer days can be enjoyable, the hot and sticky nights that follow are less so. It's particularly challenging for those who suffer from night sweats, as well as those who prefer to sleep with a blanket, as regular duvets often prove too warm during the summer months. This is where a cooling blanket could come in handy, providing the comfort of a cover while keeping you cool. Currently, Amazon has a deal on the Ailemei Direct Cooling Blanket for Night Sweats, which is now nearly 20% off at £21.94. The specialist blanket is made from mica nylon and Japanese cold fibre, designed to keep users feeling fresh during hot nights. It's also lightweight, adding to its appeal. The blanket is breathable and comfortable, taking away heat and reportedly lowering internal temperature by about 2°C. Additionally, it's machine and hand washable, making it easy to care for, reports the Mirror. If this particular cooling blanket doesn't tickle your fancy, Dunelm's Fogarty Cooling Cotton Duvet Cover could be paired with your existing summer duvet. Prices range from £9.20 to £32 depending on the size, and the plain duvet cover is available in colours such as sage green, white and blush pink. Debenhams also provides an option with the Slumberdown Cool Sleep Ultra Cool Nylon Summer Duvet/Blanket, currently on sale with up to 40% priced between £41.25 and £69.37 depending on size. This duvet is engineered to dissipate heat and reportedly feels twice as cool as standard polyester blankets. Meanwhile, the Ailemei Direct Cooling Blanket has garnered popularity among consumers, achieving a 4.4-star average rating. One pleased customer said: "Absolutely brilliant! You literally put it on and can feel the cooling straight away! It's very light and has two layers, it's a slippery type of fabric. I like having a blanket and get too hot under them, this is great to combat that!" Another user hailed it as "the best thing ever", admitting: "I wish I'd bought it earlier, perfect for hot summer nights, lightweight, comfortable." A third buyer was equally enthusiastic, proclaiming: "Absolutely blooming marvellous. Cooled me down on many a hot flush! Recommended." Article continues below However, not everyone was completely satisfied as one reviewer remarked: "I didn't find this cooling, however it definitely stopped me sweating and therefore definitely had a more comfortable sleep. I like the way it is very thin but has a nice weight to it so it's easy to sleep under! Would recommend but not if your expecting it to actually be cool to the touch."

Amazon issues warning to Prime users over cyber scams

Amazon is alerting its 200 million Prime members to a sharp rise in cyber scams just weeks before its biggest-ever Prime Day event, set to begin July 8. The online retail giant says fraudsters are ramping up efforts to steal customer accounts and payment details. Amazon found that impersonation scams spiked by 80 percent during Prime Day in 2024, and similar schemes are already underway this year. The most common tactics involve fake emails and text messages designed to look like official Amazon communications, often containing malicious links or requests for personal information. Cybercriminals are seizing on the hype and urgency surrounding the four-day sales event to lure unsuspecting shoppers. With global sales expected to break records, shoppers are urged to be cautious, avoid clicking suspicious links, and report any suspicious messages to Amazon. 'Independent sellers sold more than 200 million items during Prime Day,' Amazon said in a statement. 'Prime members in the US chose to consolidate their deliveries on millions of orders, saving an estimated 10 million trips.' This year's Prime Day event will run in 26 countries, including the US, UK, India, and Canada. Ireland and Colombia are joining the list for the first time. To counter these attacks, Amazon said it removed more than 55,000 phishing websites and 12,000 fraudulent phone numbers last year. Scammers rely on urgency and fear, often warning users their account will be locked or charged unless they act immediately. Victims are frequently asked to verify account details or resolve fake issues by providing gift card numbers, passwords, or one-time passcodes, methods Amazon states it never uses. In November, the company found that 94 percent of global impersonation scams came through email, text messages, or phone calls. Two-thirds of those scams focused on fake account issues. To verify if a text message is truly from Amazon, go to the Message Center under 'Your Account.' Only legitimate communications from Amazon will appear there. Moreover, before clicking on email attachments, review the sender's address. Legitimate Amazon emails will come from an '@ address. Check the 'From' name in your email to see the full sender address and check for misspellings or suspicious characters. In March, the company tweeted on X that impersonation scams on social media have jumped 33 percent since December 2024. 'Scammers monitor customer complaints on comments, then respond using fake accounts,' Amazon said. The company emphasizes it never asks customers to click external links or move conversations to private messages. While earlier fraud attempts focused on account access, by May 2025, payment fraud had become the most reported scam, accounting for 38 percent of cases. Amazon reminds users: 'We will never call or email you requesting sensitive information like passwords.' The company has issued clear safety steps: Always access your account through the official app or website, never respond to suspicious messages, and report scam attempts through Amazon's help center or self-reporting tool. Additionally, Amazon encourages customers to enable two-factor authentication, avoid reusing passwords across websites, and turn on app notifications to confirm legitimate account activity. 'Count to ten before you act,' Amazon advises, stressing that any message pushing urgent action is a red flag. In March, Amazon also warned about 'Membership Renewal Scams,' messages prompting users to renew services by entering payment details on fake websites. To avoid delivery scams, Amazon recommends buying directly from the company instead of third-party sellers whenever possible. Items shipped and sold by Amazon are more likely to qualify for fast Prime shipping, arrive as advertised, and offer easier returns. Some customers report receiving refunds for defective items without needing to return them, due to Amazon's streamlined internal process.
