It can be challenging staying cool in the recent hot weather when you're on the go - walking, commuting, doing housework or gardening or even just sitting still. Anyone working from home or in an office with no air con will be feeling the heat too, with temperatures rising for the summer's fourth heatwave this week.
A hand held fan is popular but when you're rushing to work, or in a hurry, or need your hands free, it is more of an inconvenience, so the neck fan has become increasingly popular with many people.
There are many to choose from and prices vary but the Morelax Portable Neck Fan has hundreds of five-star reviews on Amazon and is currently reduced in price by 21% from £18.99 to £14.99 for the white unit.

"What a great product! It's so quiet that it doesn't disturb anyone else. It's lightweight, comfortable to wear, easy to charge and one of my favourite purchases already.... after two days! Good value for money and does what it says it will."

The Morelax Portable Neck Fan though is impressing buyers too, with one saying: "Best thing ever especially with the heatwave we have been having in the UK it's comfortable to wear, it charges well and last up to 8 hours need to clean it because it gets a bit dusty I just use cotton buds to clear any dust that it collects. I'm very happy with it, my son and friend want one now."
Another reviewer bought the fan as a gift and they have certainly earnt themselves brownie points, saying: "Bought for my wife, she says it's brilliant. Keeps her face and neck cool in the heat. Good for walking about the house or when sitting in the garden. Tried it out whilst travelling in the car, ideal, no need for everyone to freeze with blowers on. Good value for money and very smart to look at."

A few buyers comment that the battery doesn't last as long as they were hoping for on the highest setting and got noisier then too, with one reviewer saying: " It's noticeably noisy, especially on the higher speeds. Quieter than some bladed fans, but still a constant buzz that can be distracting."
Another buyer found it uncomfortable, saying: "It's good don't get me wrong but not big enough for round my neck it's not wide enough for me - no good if you have a wide neck."

Got this neck fan mainly for using around the house and during short walks. It's light and comfortable to wear, and the bladeless design makes it feel safer and less bulky. The airflow is nice, it spreads the breeze evenly around the neck
The Morelax Portable Neck Fan is also popular for other overheating scenarios, with one of many buyers saying: "An excellent product, well made and oh so much quieter. It cools me down very quickly and especially when I am having hot flushes. I strongly recommend this Morelax neck fan."

Dunelm drops new cooling blanket in 3 colours perfect for 'hot sticky nights'
'It is so comfortable to sleep with lovely and cool.' While many of us will be trying to make the most of the warm weather that has swept across the country, trying to sleep comfortably at night can be an entirely different story. With temperatures sticking around the high teens throughout the night, many people are struggling to fall and stay asleep due to being too hot and sweaty. In order to combat this, many shoppers have chosen to buy a fan. However, these come with their own setbacks as the added noise of the fan can also cause a restful night. On top of this, constantly running a fan can be an added cost to your bills. For those looking for another way to keep cool at night, a new product from Dunelm may be the solution. People who don't want to ditch their duvets at night, Dunelm has released its new Soft & Cooling Blanket in two sizes. The 200cm by 200cm cover is £32, whereas the larger 260cm by 220cm edition is £48. Featuring a quilted design that uses unique airflow regulation, shoppers will be able to have a cool sleep even during the uncomfortably warm nights, reports Devon Live. This is the perfect solution for those who struggle to snooze without a cover over them. Soft & Cooling Blanket £32 - £48 Dunelm Buy Now Product Description Perfect for a variety of aesthetics as well, Dunelm is offering the cooling blanket in three colourways - sage, natural and grey. And this blanket doesn't just need to be limited to summer use, as its comforting design means shoppers can drag it around their home to use all year round. An added bonus to the blanket is that it is also machine washable, meaning any accidental spillages from your favourite snacks can easily be cleaned away. One shopper also confirmed that it 'doesn't need to be ironed'. Elsewhere, Amazon is selling the Marchpower Cooling Blanket for £43.99. Using cooling technology, this blanket will absorb your body heat and instantly reduce the skin's temperature by two to five degrees. After use, shoppers will hopefully wake up feeling refreshed and free from that hot sticky feeling. Alternatively, Silentnight has reduced the price of its Restore Cooling Throw from £45 down to £35. Able to be used as a blanket or a duvet, this throw is made with innovative cool fabrics that are breathable to help prevent overheating. Back to Dunelm's new cooling blanket, it currently has a four star rating with shoppers gushing over how comfortable and effective the blanket is for keeping them cool at night. One delighted shopper said: "My daughter loves this throw. She has this instead of a duvet in the summer as she is always too hot in bed. She even said her feet were cold with it on but that was a good thing as her body was just the right temperature. It's nice material and washes well too. Doesn't need to be ironed." While another five-star review gushed: "I love this blanket it is cool and great through these hot sticky nights." Homewares deal of the week Switch up your bedroom's aesthetic and keep those summer vibes with one bedding set from Dunelm that is now 30 percent less.

However, one shopper did leave a slightly mixed review, writing: "You can feel the coolness when you first cover yourself but thought it would always feel cool.

'Excellent' portable BBQ that 'pays for itself after a few uses' now reduced by 23% on Amazon
When the sun comes out and the weather is dry then so does the BBQ for many people, whether it's in the garden or out and about camping or picnicking. But if you don't want to spend a hefty amount on a huge BBQ unit and don't want to constantly buy disposable BBQs that waste money as well as having an impact on the environment in their disposal but do want to cook yummy food for up to four people, then the Portable Folding BBQ and Grill from Kizmyee might be the solution. Available from Amazon and described as their number one best seller within the portable barbecues category, this folding unit can be used again and again, is perfect for smaller gardens and is easy to store, take with you and clean, according to some of the positive customer reviews on the site. One happy buyer says: "Larger than the regular disposable ones and when you consider the price, if you're like me and like to take advantage of the nice weather when it comes, even for just a smallish BBQ for one or two people, and don't want the bother of the larger gas BBQ, it's a money saver over the course of just a few uses. Excellent!" The manufacturer of this portable BBQ states that the barbecue not only has foldable legs, but also is small, weighs only 1.6 Kg, and is especially portable. When you're barbecuing outside, you just need to put down the folding legs to start barbecuing. There are also bracelets on both sides of the grill for easy carrying. It is designed with ventilation holes at both ends of the grill so that air flow can be easily controlled and heat is evenly distributed on the grill. When you are doing BBQ there are some things that are imperative to stay safe say the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service: BBQ safety advice from the fire and rescue service Never leave a barbecue unattended. Ensure the barbecue is on a flat site, well away from a shed, trees or shrubs. Keep children, garden games and pets well away from the cooking area. Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby for emergencies. Ensure the barbecue is cool before attempting to move it. DO NOT add any flammable liquids (such as lighter fluid or petrol) onto the coals of a lit barbecue. Alternatives to the from Amazon are Weber Go Anywhere Portable Charcoal BBQ available from Argos and currently reduced to £103.50 plus the Tower Portable Barrel BBQ Grill now reduced to £28.99 via Robert Dyas But there's more praise for Amazon's number one best selling portable BBQ that includes one buyer who says: "Ideal for 2/3 people rather than having to get out a large BBQ. Comes will 4 bags of charcoal which you literally place in the bottom of the BBQ and burn each individual bag as you need them. No mess and hardly any smoke. BBQ easy to set up and clean. Fantastic compact BBQ. Easy to assemble and sturdy. Folds back very easily." However, some buyers questioned the sturdiness and size of the folding portable BBQ with one saying: "It did the job and felt stable enough but is a little bit flimsy so I'm not sure how it would be with regular use. As it's portable, it would have been good if it had come with a carry bag." Another reviewer comments: "It is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Maybe I didn't read sizes correctly before buying. But on the plus side it's super handy, portable and compact for camping trips!" Conversely, one customer was so happy with the portable BBQ they have been a multiple buyer, saying: "Whole family love it. Brought 3 of these now, first one was for me, my mum absolutely loved it, so I gave it to her. I then got my brother one for his birthday cause he kept going on about mums one. Now I've finally replaced mine lol."
