Dyson launches bladeless desk fan with brand-new sleep mode function
Leading tech brand Dyson has launched a new desk fan in time for summer. The Cool CF1 desk fan is priced at £249.99 and has been designed with a new sleep mode feature, ideal for users who have difficulty sleeping during heatwaves.
Dyson's Cool CF1 desk fan promises relief from heat in as little as five seconds. The bladeless fan aims to deliver quiet motion even when it is on full power, so users who have it on while they work will not be distracted by any noise.
The bladeless design also makes it safe for a family home, as it can be left unattended around children or pets - unlike bladed fans, which may pose a safety hazard. It also has a night mode function, which lets out 'whisper-quiet' air so that users can stay cool and not be interrupted by noise while sleeping.
Dyson says it has a range of oscillation angles and manual tilt. Plus, it delivers an airflow of 370 litres per second, with no 'choppy air'. Thanks to its simplistic design, Dyson's Cool CF1 desk fan is also easy to clean, as it doesn't have any grilles to remove or dusty blades. To clean, Dyson recommends wiping the loop amplifier with a cloth.
Dyson's Cool CF1 desk fan is at the higher end of the market price-wise, which can be a potential drawback for hopeful customers. There are cheaper alternatives on the market, including a Russell Hobbs Bladeless Tower desk fan at a more affordable price of £29.99.
The cooling system has three modes, including breeze and blast functions for very hot days. The black fan also has built-in ambient lighting, and connects via USB - plug into a laptop, using the included USB Type-C cable, to charge it.
Pro Breeze is another leading brand for fans and cooling devices, and a large number of its products are sold on Amazon, including this Desktop Mini Tower Fan. At 13-inches it costs £28.04 (down from £34.99), and has three speeds, automatic oscillation, and a quiet cooling mode.
Because Dyson's Cool CF1 desk fan has just been launched, there are no reviews available for the product. However, potential shoppers can find many general reviews of Dyson's customer service on Trustpilot.
One Dyson vacuum owner called about an issue with their device, writing: "Had reason to speak to Dyson customer support today as problem with cordless vacuum, spoke to very helpful chap called Arris, who resolved my issue in a matter of minutes and arranged for replacement part under warranty. Working in customer service myself, we can all take a leaf out of this guy's book. Top class service, no fuss, just sorted the problem."
However, another shopper wasn't as pleased with their customer service experience. They said: "Love my Dyson, but the customer service was disappointing.
"My next day delivery never arrived and I wasn't informed or apologised to. A quick glance at reviews shows this seems to be a common issue."
But another left a glowing review. They said "Fantastic products and the best customer service I've ever experienced. Worth every penny."

'Best-selling' automatic curling iron that creates an 'effortless' style now £50
'It heats up fast, is super simple to use, and the automatic rotation means no awkward wrist angles or tangles.' While styling hair may come naturally for some people, for others the prospect of taking out your hair tools to try and create an effortless look can be off putting. One style many people find particularly difficult is curling their hair. Especially for those who have long and thick hair, this can be a tiring task with some feeling as though their curls have fallen out half way through styling. For those who want to achieve bouncy curls or soft waves but struggle with arm ache and time constraints, we may have found the solution for you. Amazon has reduced the price of the TYMO CURLPRO Automatic Rotating Curling Iron as part of a limited time deal. Normally retailing for £62.99, this best-selling hair curling tool can now be bought for £49.99. Available with either a one inch or one and quarter inch barrel to best meet your hair type, the curlpro is easy to use as it takes away all of the usual hassle that comes with hair styling. Simply place a section of your hair inside and press the button once. The device will then auto-rotate the hair to create effortless curls every time. Designed with a cool to touch 360 degree outer barrel, this device is safe for adults and children to use due to its anti-scald design. Additionally, shoppers won't need to worry about their hair becoming damaged as the curler is equipped with an anti-tangle mechanism which will promptly reverse any tangles if they occur. To top it all off, users' hair will be left smooth and shiney after use as the barrel features a T-GLOSS tourmaline ceramic coating which contains 500million negative ions. This will reduce moisture loss in your hair, leaving it looking silky and radiant. TYMO CURLPRO Automatic Rotating Curling Iron £62.99 £49.99 Amazon Buy Now Product Description For those wanting something a bit cheaper, Amazon is also selling the CkeyiN Automatic Hair Curler for £32.59 (RRP £35.99). With three temperatures and two curl directions, shoppers will be able to create a variety of different styles with this device. Alternatively, Boots has knocked £40 off the REVAMP Hollywood Curl Auto-Rotate Ceramic Curler. Normally retailing for £89.99, shoppers can now grab this handy hair tool for £49.99. With a variety of temperatures, this styler is perfect for all hair types and textures. Back to the TYMO CURLPRO, it currently boasts a 4.5 star rating from Amazon shoppers, with many people praising the device for how easy it has made styling their hair, with consistent results every time. One delighted shopper said: "This is fantastic and easy to use. I have a slight disability in my right arm and I have found other products too heavy to use. This is perfect, with amazing curls and so effective with a perfect heat level. I would recommend using a glossy serum for a wonderful shine effect." With another five-star reviewer adding: "This works amazingly well on all hair types. It is quick, self operating and does not get caught in the hair (which was my main worry). The outside remains cool so I happy happy for my children to use it themselves. The curls themselves are beautiful and last." However, some shoppers had a few minor gripes, as one person wrote: "Only problem is my hair is longer and I should have gotten the larger barrel." With another mixed review saying: "This is amazing for people like me who can't curl hair. The only downside is if you have thick hair, you can't put too much hair in the curler otherwise it won't work. It only takes small amounts of fair. It does curl great though!" Despite this, a top reviewer also commented: "I have long, thick hair and this has genuinely made styling so much easier. It heats up fast, is super simple to use, and the automatic rotation means no awkward wrist angles or tangles. "The curls don't last for days on my hair type, but they do drop into a lovely soft wave which I actually prefer – it gives that effortless, lived-in look. I was honestly sceptical at first after seeing it all over social media, but it really is as easy and quick as it looks. If you struggle with traditional curlers or just want to save time, I'd highly recommend giving this a go!"

'I tried the Ultenic T20 robot vacuum and mop that's now £120 off at Amazon'
Robot vacuums claim to be little helpers in the home that can get on with cleaning the floors so households don't have to. Zipping around picking up dust, crumbs, and pet hair, some models can even give it a once over with a mop, Thanks to smart sensors and mapping tech, they know where they're going, avoid bumping into things and can squeeze under sofas or beds to tackle those 'out of sight, out of mind' spots. But is all this robot assistance just a gimmick, wowing us all with housework helpers from the future? I recently tried the Ultenic T20 Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop and I can confirm it's a fascinating wee thing that really does clean and vacuum. What's more, this particular range-topping model currently has an impressive 33% discount on Amazon - taking the price down from £359.99 to £239.99. According to the website, the Ultenic Robot Vacuum and Mop packs a powerful 8000Pa suction and the AI-powered LiDAR navigation system scans and maps rooms in real time. Designed to avoid furniture, cables and stairs for smooth, collision-free cleaning, it claims to give consistent results without having to move things around or worry about missed spots. The 4-in-1 device can vacuum, sweep, mop and even empty its own dustbin into the docking station. Users can choose between vacuum-and-mop, suction-only, or mop-only modes, with adjustable suction and water flow to suit surfaces like wood, tile or carpet. It claims to be able to run for up to 150 minutes on a single charge, covering areas up to 200㎡ and will automatically return to charge when the battery is low before resuming the job. Here's what I thought about the Ultenic T20 Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop. Pros: Quick and easy to set and charge. Has a useful app. Maps floor areas accurately. Allows the user to set different areas for no-mop zones to prevent carpets getting wet. Suction levels can be changed. Cons: App is a little confusing to navigate at first. Requires dust bags which need changing when full. It wasn't very keen on some of my rugs. To begin with, I popped the Ultenic T20 Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop on charge for around six hours as recommended in the Quick Start guide. A bit confusing at first, the back end of the vacuum just needs to be in contact with the charging prongs to start working. A flashing blue light on the unit let me know that it was working. Users can also check the battery level percentage on the app. Once ready to go, I set it loose around my lounge to begin the mapping process. Myself, my husband, the cat and the dog all watched this happen, slightly fascinated by the little round spinning thing that was making its way around the room, deftly tucking itself under furniture without getting stuck. All the while, I watched on the app as it snaked a line around the room. While it was imrpessive, I will say that it just didn't even bother trying to include my two rugs, opting instead to just navigate round them. In defence of my new found robotic friend, this was it's first outing and I'd imagine there is any easy way to clean the rugs and I just need to get to know the app better. I was also very impressed with the self emptying function in the base unit, but it comes with little vacuum bags that will need replacing when full. Once mapped, it took itself around again to vacuum and, although my floor was pretty clean anyway, it picked up any remaining dust bunnies and biscuit crumbs and easily dealt with the occasional clump of pet hair. I found the mop was also very efficient. All I had to do was fill the tank with warm water, and pop it back into place. The microfibre mop cloth slips off in seconds for easy machine washing, and there's a spare included, so hopefully these should last me a while. It also came with a small bottle of cleaning solution. My wooden floors looked nicely cleaned without being soaked. I had previously wondered how a robotic floor cleaner would deal with not wetting carpets, but it turns out that you can set 'no-mop' zones on the map, so carpets stay dry while your little helper works its way around the rest of the house. I've only just started using the Ultenic T20 Pro so there is still plenty to learn. On first impression though, it does exactly what it says on the tin - vacuums and cleans the floor so I don't have to. I'm looking forward to getting to know it better and setting it into action while I go and do something more fun instead. Robot vacuums are very much on trend these days, thanks in part to the original Roomba. With so many to choose from, the ground breaking iRobot range from Roomba still has some good deals to choose from. The iRobot Roomba® 205 DustCompactor Combo Robot for example, is down from £399 to £279 on Amazon. With7000Pa, 4 suction levels and object detection buyers have called it a 'capable robot cleaner'. Elsewhere, Argos is offering a discount of £61 off the eufy G50 Hybrid Robot Vacuum & Mop, now on sale for £139. A more affordable option, this model has a lower 4,000Pa suction level, but is still a good option for buyers on a budget. If money is no object, Dyson have launched their very own robot vacuum with a whopping 22,000Pa of suction pressure. Available for an eye watering £1,249.99, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robot vacuum cleaner claims to be 'the most powerful robot vacuum' with '6x the suction of any other robot vacuum'. The Ultenic T20 Pro has received a very healthy 4.6 out of five-star rating from Amazon shoppers. One buyer said: "This robo-vac performs much better than I expected, did a good job of cleaning carpets; I am very impressed with it and I find it easy to use the app. Very good buy. The first robot is in my house. Easy to install, and I love that I can control it with the app. When I come home after day hard work my house floors are clean . It's hoovers and mops all floors, also cleans itself. Absolutely brilliant." Another added: "I've been using the Ultenic T20 Pro for a few weeks now, and it's completely transformed my cleaning routine. The 8000 Pa suction power tackles even deeply embedded pet hair and stubborn debris on both hard floors and carpets without a hitch ... it's a game changer!" A third simply said: "It's far from your average robot vacuum this is a highly advanced machine that vacuums and mops at the same time, delivering an impressively thorough clean." Not all buyers were quite so impressed however. One disappointed shopper said: "It's quite noisy and the instructions are poor" while another added: "it doesn't live up to expectations unfortunately." Overall, the Ultenic Pro 20 received a not to shabby 134 five-star reviews. Another delighted customer said: "Couldn't wait to receive this & I have to say I am blown away with its performance. Its a life changer. I would definitely recommend this robot hoover 100%. Its is by far my best purchase this year."

Ugreen Nexode retractable power bank and chargers now available at best prices

We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. From portable power banks to clutter-free car chargers, Ugreen's Nexode range of retractables is ideal for travel tech users.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... If you travel a lot, or even if you just spend a bit of time exploring the great outdoors, you'll be familiar with the need to charge up your tech on the move. Whether it's a phone or a drone, charging on the go generally requires two things. A power source, and a cable. Ugreen is one of a handful of companies embracing a new technological trend of blending these two parts into one device. And I've been testing the latest selection of Nexode retractable device over the summer. Here's what I've discovered about them. Ugreen Nexode Power Bank The retractable cable can pump out up to 100 watts | Ugreen Finding a portable power bank with a 20,000mAh battery and a 165 watt output isn't much of a challenge these days. But finding one with a retractable cable is. And finding one for less than £100 used to be pretty much impossible - until now. This Nexode power bank is a fairly heavy little thing, but it packs in all the tech you'd need from a portable power source. The display, for example, is easy to understand and gives you all the information you'll need about what's going in, what's going out, and how much is left in the tank. On the top, there's a USB-A port, a USB-C port which can accept power in and out, and then the trick retractable cable. The additional sockets are really useful | Ugreen It's easy to undersell this technology. Even though the power bank comes with a meaty USB-C cable in the box, sometimes you just don't want another peripheral to pack away - and being able to pop out a thin, flat cable that's rated at 100 watts is so useful. It can even double as the unit's charging lead. So you simply don't need to carry wires around any more. The cable doesn't go out all that far, perhaps just over half a metre. But you can stop it at any stage, and it's comfortably long enough to have it sat next to your phone, or tablet, or laptop, or... Whatever it is you're charging. To retract it, just give it a little tweak and it recoils quickly and smoothly. And the plug sits flush on the base of the unit, held on by a magnet. It's so neat. The fact it can put out 100 watts - more than enough for most smartphones on the market - and the fact it can charge up from flat in two hours, really is the icing on the cake. It's a brilliant bit of kit. Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger There are smaller and larger versions - but the Amazon deal for the 65 watt version is such a bargain | Ugreen I really think this might be the best use of a retractable cable, especially for frequent travellers. It has two USB sockets, A and C, and a short retractable cable built in. This means you simply don't need to carry a wire around with you any more. As long as you only need to charge one device at a time, it's got a 60 watt cable ready to go. And, if you do need to top up another device, just connect a cable and share up to 65 watts of power across two or three sockets. GaN USB wall plugs can obviously be much more compact than this, and it is a little heavy, but it's just such a neat little all-in one unit and an absolute bargain if you can catch the offer. Ugreen Nexode Car Charger Car charging has never been more convenient | Ugreen Similar to the wall charger, this compact little car charger offers a retractable cable aimed at keeping the inside of your car clutter-free. Quite remarkably, it has a potential output of 145 watts, which is spread across four different power sources. There's one USB-A socket, two USB-C sockets, and a retractable cable. You might think this is a bit of a niche product, given that modern cars have at least a few USB-C sockets these days, and maybe even a built-in wireless charger. But not all do. And even if your car is kitted out, it's ideal for people who take a lot of tech with them on road trips. It's also going to be very useful for families, because kids will no longer need to fight over the socket in the back. There are plenty of outputs once this is plugged in. Being able to share 145 watts from one power source is more than enough reason to invest in one of these, but the retractable cable means there's one less thing to lose down the side of the seat. It's a shame the built-in cable pops out awkwardly rather than tucks away like the other units do, but apart from that it's a top piece of tech for a pretty decent price. Ugreen Nexode Retractable USB-C Cable This handy little cable reel is perfect for travellers | Ugreen This might be one of those devices nobody really strictly needs, but everyone really wants. It's a little "puck" that contains two lengths of high-output USB-C lead that you can use for charging and data transfer. The handy thing about it is its neatness. No more wrapping up cables and coming back to them to find them all tangled, this little gadget packs in a metre of flat wire, ready to reel out and reel in any time. It's small enough to fit in a pocket quite easily, but big enough to provide up to 100 watts of power. Yes, you can buy retractable cables like this in a pound shop, but they absolutely won't be able to charge a MacBook Pro, or transfer data at up to 480Mbps. Perhaps it is a luxury item, but it's far from a luxury price. It's a great addition to the Nexode retractable range.
