Amazon fan is a 'great Dyson alternative' and 'easily as cooling'
The Pro Breeze fan has been praised for its quality and functionality
The nation has seen pretty good weather this spring, with highs of almost 30C in some regions. As the season winds down, and June brings the start of summer, there are hopes that the warm weather will continue.
Shoppers who are in the market for a new fan may want to consider a bladeless option. Bladeless fans have gained popularity over the last few years, as they don't gather dust like traditional fans do.
This makes them easier to clean and also more user-friendly for people who suffer from allergies. Dyson arguably leads the market with its Purifier Cool Gen1, a two-in-one cooling and air purifying system.
The fan captures and traps pollutants, has ten settings and is operated by a remote control. However, with a pricetag of £349.99, it it's at the top end of the market, and costs more than most households may be willing to spend.
Pro Breeze is another leading brand for fans, and its devices are mid-range price-wise, making its models appealing to a larger majority of consumers. For instance, its Bladeless Tower Fan is £134.99, and many customers have likened its performance and quality to that of Dyson.
The Tower Fan by Pro Breeze is made with 'Air Stream Cooling Technology ', which amplifies cooling power to send a stream of cold air across rooms. It has large 4mm vents, which are useful during heatwaves.
Another alternative is Bush's Tower Fan, which is £65 at Argos. This is a traditional blade fan that comes with a multi-functional remote. It has three settings and also has an oscillating function.
Returning to Amazon's Pro Breeze device, it has more than 700 reviews, with one shopper commenting: "This fan has proven to be a great Dyson alternative so far. I brought it for my son, who sleeps in a bed tent (he's autistic), and it helps cool him down during the high heat.
"It's not that loud, turns itself off, and has an easy-to-use touch-button panel on the front that my son knows how to use. So, it's not at all complicated."
A second consumer rated it two stars, as they found it too loud: "This fan is so loud I have to turn my TV up! I have a cheap one that is quieter and just as powerful. Sorry, I can't recommend this as it's too loud, definitely not ultra quiet.
A third buyer said: "Probably the best fan I've ever owned. I went through quite a lot of cheap fans and I've had Dyson ones. But this is by far the best I've seen, especially for bladeless.
"It does have 6 speed settings. The first 2 settings are definitely kind of quiet, so pretty good for those who hate sounds and have a decent amount of air."
They added: "The 6th setting is really powerful a strong wind but sounds almost like a vacuum cleaner but not as bad. Still I wouldn't think it's ideal to sleep with the 6th setting unless you do like the sound of the fan like me.
"The size is good usually with most fans it can barely reach the top of my bed but this goes above the height of it which is really good. 5/5 definitely recommend."
A fourth concluded "As a fan this is great, easily as cooling as a Dyson or bigger more expensive brand, even on low settings you can feel it. The instructions are easy to follow, the remote is easy to use.
"It's a little chunky not massively but there's definitely more streamlined versions out there. It's not deafeningly loud, but you can hear it as it's not silent either. I do think it's a great fan for the money, though. I would definitely buy again."
A third fan option comes courtesy of Shark, where consumers can pick up a FlexBreeze Portable Fan for £175, down from £199.99. The hybrid indoor and outdoor fan comes with a cover, a pedestal stand, a remote controller and an InstaCool Misting Attachment.

Argos shoppers can snap up £19.99 Bluetooth tracker for £5 with deal
For those jetting off on holiday or Brits who are prone to misplacing their wallets or purses, a Bluetooth tracker can be a lifesaver. However, one significant downside is that some trackers, such as Apple's AirTag, can set shoppers back more than £20 each, which might be a bit steep. But we've found a deal for shoppers to snag a Eufy Bluetooth wallet tracker for £5. The EufySmartCard tracker is a slim gadget that can easily slip into most wallets and purses, enabling users to keep tabs on their belongings. For Apple aficionados, the device syncs with Apple Find My, allowing them to track the item finder and receive free alerts on their phone if they leave it behind. The items can also be tracked using the Eufy Security app. The Eufy wallet tracker also comes equipped with an alarm that can be triggered from a mobile phone to help locate the finder. Additionally, there's a button on the finder that can assist in locating a mobile phone. A word of caution to shoppers: this device is only compatible with iPhones. It can be attached to passports, wallets, purses or other items to prevent them from being forgotten - and shoppers can grab it for £5 with TopCashback, thanks to a free £15 cashback offer when they sign up. So, how do shoppers secure this price? All they need to do to claim the cashback offer is sign up for TopCashback, search for Argos and click 'Get Cashback Now'. Then simply shop for the tablet and checkout as usual. Shoppers who are new to both TopCashback (TCB) and Argos can now snag a deal where they'll only shell out £4.74 after cashback, while TCB newcomers who already shop with Argos will be paying £4.82 post-cashback. This slashes the regular price tag from £19.99. Meanwhile, if shoppers want an alternative, Apple diehards need not worry, however, as the Apple Air Tag is currently down to £28 on Amazon. Or the Tile Mate comes in at £20. However, if you opt for Tile, a downside is its paid-for subscription fees to unlock better tracking. Grab the eufy Bluetooth tracker for £5 from Argos Begin by signing up as new members via this given TopCashback link. Find Argos on the site and hit 'Get Cashback Now'. Shop and check out as usual on the Argos website. Sit tight; cashback will track and pop up in your TopCashback account within seven working days of the transaction. The eufy Bluetooth tracker has been receiving heaps of praise in customer reviews. One reviewer shared: "Easily fits in a wallet and app works well to pinpoint the location of the card. Only downside I can see is that the battery isn't replaceable." Some users, however, voiced concerns over the device's size. One individual remarked: "Imho, it is too bulky for small wallets/purse. Could be easily hidden inside a handbag though. I like the general idea but this item is definitely not for me/us. Personally I bought a tag from another brand which suits my needs much better. Just my opinion, everyone will be different." A happier user said: "What a absolutely amazing product I love the fact it blends in my wallet and was also brilliant hidden in my luggage it's such a slim design and brilliant at making sure my valuables are safe I will definitely be purchasing more! Such fabulous product that's easy to use"

'I've used this Shark Mop for 6 months - my floors have never look cleaner'
'My floors have never looked more sparkling' - The Shark Steam Mop Tech Commerce Editor Harriet uses at home is now on sale Gone are the days of a mop and bucket, steaming hot appliances have swiftly become the go-to in many households to get the floors gleaming while banishing germs at the same time. Often dubbed a 'must-have' brand, Dyson has its washG1, an all-in-one vacuum and mop which sucks up dirt and mops floors but at £499 the price is certainly eyewatering - I use one of Shark's rival products and not only does it cut cleaning times it's £400 cheaper. The Shark Kick n' Flip Automatic Steam Mop uses hot steam instead of the traditional bucket of soapy water, and because of the heat there's no need for chemical-infused cleaning products. Usually £139.99 it's now on sale for £99 - hundreds cheaper than Dyson's much pricier alternative. Unlike Dyson's model this doesn't have a vacuum, so that's a huge feature it's missing, but when it comes to mopping this nimble device has been game-changing. I swapped to the Shark Kick n' Flip at the beginning of the year, my floors are less grubby, the bathroom tiles come up shiny, and it can cover my whole flat in about 10 minutes. It's simple to use, all I do is fill up the container with water and choose the steam setting - I personally always go for 'hi'. There's the choice of three options; low, medium, and 'hi.' These can be used on a variety of different floors like the wooden laminate in my living room kitchen and tiles in my bathrooms. Looking at the size of the Shark pads, they also seem more nimble than other options. For example, this cheaper Steam Fresh Combi from Vax (now £79.99) has a bigger triangle-like mop head which may be slightly bigger but looks trickier to get under furniture. Shark Kick n' Flip Product Description If there's a particular mark or spot then the steam blast technology is great for this - in homage to its 'kick n' flip' name all I do is flop over the mop head with my foot and press down on the handle, which blasts out concentrated, high power amount of steam to help get rid of stubborn stains. Once done with cleaning, the dirt pad (or mop head) can be released with a click of a button, which releases it from the mop. It goes face down, meaning I don't have to touch any of the grime, just chuck it straight into the washing machine on a warm wash. The only thing that I've found is it's worth buying more of the detachable mop heads than what comes free with purchase (two) as this is good for switching up between the kitchen and bathrooms. I've used the Shark Steam Mop for nearly six months and not run into any major problems. It's still working as well as the first time I unboxed it, which is why I decided to flag a product I've bought with my own money, instead of it being something I've been sent to review. I'd recommend it to anyone in need of an affordable cleaning upgrade. Shoppers online have also shared their delight with it, and especially like the unique steam sprayer. As one person said: "Brilliant love this so easy to use. Does a great job of cleaning my floors, love the option to trigger more steam which is simple to do . "Only four-stars as the cord is not long enough and water tank could do with been a little bigger so less refills however wouldn't put me off getting another one." Another shopper said: "This is our third purchase of this steam mop because it really is the best we have found of its kind. it does not remain upright unless propped or held up. It is really easy to knock or pull over when switching plug sockets which may damage it." Like the above shopper, I've also come into the same issue with it not being able to stand on its own, but I personally don't mind this. Instead of propping it up I make sure to lay it flat, and no water has ever leaked out of it when doing this.
