Hot and bothered shoppers race to Lidl to nab bladeless fan that's ‘just as good as a Dyson' & ideal for sweltering days
THE Dyson bladeless fan is meant to be one of the best around, but at a whopping £350, not many people can afford it.
But there's a MUCH cheaper dupe on the market that's apparently just as good as the Dyson - and you can find it in your local Lidl.

"The smaller one is equally good."
"I've got one had it 2 years just as good as Dyson," a third insisted.
"Yes, they're brilliant! We have ours in the bedroom & it's good, not too noisy either," someone else wrote.

"Yes got one yesterday, it's really good," someone else added.
While another gushed: "I got one a couple of weeks ago and it's been great on a night when it's hot."
"I had one similar when I was in Hong Kong: excellent, cool & quiet (compare to traditional big blades) and very safe for kids," someone else insisted.
"I bought the small one last year, it was that good I bought the big one this year!" another admitted.
"You can't go wrong for that price."
But others had different ideas for how to keep days and nights cool in the blistering heat.
How to keep cool in a heatwave
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS...
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
"Put another 140-ish to that and buy an air conditioning unit with a BTU of 9000 or above, nice chilled room," one wrote.
"Best money I spent last year to combat the heat."
"I got it yesterday," another said of the Lidl fan.
"Not that impressed and the Shark one is £30 more, so going to take back."
"Best fan I've ever had is a Meaco, sooo powerful and quiet," a third added.
"We bought 3 from Amazon," someone else weighed in.
"£60 standing ones have 4 settings on them. It is quite noisy but it's quite relaxing."

Tullamore records ‘exceptional' result in Irish anti-litter league survey
The recently published report ranked 40 towns and cities nationwide from the cleanest to the most littered, describing Tullamore as 'exceptional' and 'cleaner than European norms'. An excellent approach route in terms of presentation and maintenance was mentioned on the Arden Road/R421. The R443 Link Road received a grade A rating, with road surfacing, marking, signage and bollards freshly presented along the route. Some cigarette butts were mentioned in terms of litter, however the area directly outside the school was particularly clear. The report states: 'Examples of top ranking sites included 'Tullamore Food Fayre' at Kilcruttin Business Park, Main Street and Grand Canal Way at Lock 27 – the latter is a lovely waterside environment where further enhancement works are taking place.' The Deposit Return Scheme outside Lidl also received a Grade A with no litter in the immediate environment, along with Clonmich Approach Road and main street. The ground, just in front of the facility was dirty, 'perhaps from surplus/spilt liquids', whilst some versions of the Deposit Return Scheme have a 'surplus liquid' feature. The report noted litter close to the entrance at Tullamore Train Station, along the paving, at the base of the bicycle parking. Items were primarily food related, with some cigarette butts and train tickets. There was also reported litter at Bridge Lane, with cigarette butts, lower levels of broken glass, sweet papers and chewing gum. Graffiti was very much a feature on several surfaces, included a stretch of colourful wall mural. O'Connor Square was described as looking 'very well with lovely paving', tree planting and wooden seating. However, notable cigarette butting knocked the square from a top ranking site to a B+ qualification.

Lidl urgently recalls breakfast staple from shelves over fears of metal pieces inside as shoppers warned ‘do not eat'
LIDL has issued an urgent recall over fears a popular breakfast item contains pieces of metal. The supermarket giant has pulled Harvest Basket Hash Browns from its shelves and urged customers to return the product immediately. 1 Lidl has urgently recalled the breakfast staple over fears it contains metal pieces Credit: Facebook Shoppers were advised to avoid the 750g frozen goods following concerns they are unsafe to eat and pose a serious choking hazard. Warning notices will be issued in stores across the country to return the item with a batch number 5144L and best before date 24 May 2027. The Food Standards Agency confirmed yesterday that any customer returning the breakfast favourite will be issued with a full refund. Anyone who has purchased the product has been advised to call 0203 966 5566 or email Read more News In a statement, the budget retailer said: "Lidl GB is recalling the product due to the potential presence of foreign bodies (metal) which may present a choking hazard. "If you have bought the above product we advise you not to eat it. "Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be issued." Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
