I just tested Shark's FlexBreeze misting fan — and it's 20% off now to beat the massive summer heat wave
I wasn't built to endure the heat, so on the rare occasion that London turns into a sweaty furnace of death, I close the curtains, take a cold shower, and use it as an excuse to test a new fan.
And it's only been three days, but I can already confidently say that the Shark FlexBreeze is the most impressive cooling fan I have ever used.
With over 200 million people in U.S. also facing a scorching heat wave for the coming week, now is a great time to up your fan game.
With an in-built misting mechanism that sprays a fine jet of water while it fans you, it makes me feel like a crisp head of lettuce being given the cooling mist treatment in a fancy grocery store.
Best of all, if you're looking for a new fan to help you get through the summer, the Shark FlexBreeze is reduced right now. Down from $249 to $199 at SharkClean.com, and reduced by £30 for U.K.-based readers (like me), it's an immediate summer must-have.
Shark's FlexBreeze Pro Mist is Shark's smartest cooling fan yet. It offers immense versatility, with a portable design (complete with carry handle and even a bag) and can also be converted to a freestanding fan. It's also rechargeable, and features a removable misting attachment for next-level cooling.
U.K.-based readers can also pick up a great saving on the FlexBreeze when shopping direct at Shark. This £30 saving is pretty generous considering how fast fans are selling out nationwide, and it's a heatwave staple that will come in handy year after year.
This fan is super versatile. You can leave it plugged in for day-to-day use, but it's also portable thanks to its rechargeable battery, which means you could literally take it on a road trip if you wanted.
Better yet, it's got a removable water tank that attaches easily to the fan head. This emits a super fine mist that's blown towards you as the blades blast cooling air in your direction.
And if you're wondering, that feels as good as it sounds. I actually got a little too comfortable sitting in front of my fan yesterday, and it was only when I had to run some errands around the house that I realised the apartment had become unbearably hot.
The versatility with this fan is next-level. It lifts in and out of its base with the click of a button, and has folding-down legs that will prop it up for both indoor and outdoor use.
You should note that Shark warns you to only use the mister when outdoors. Have I been following that advice? No, I have not. I've been giving myself the full grocery store experience while sat on the couch watching Love Island.
But I can see why Shark warns not to spray water inside your house, filled with all your electricals and probably some furniture that you don't want to mop down.

Hibbett debuts kids-focused app, e-commerce site
This story was originally published on Retail Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Retail Dive newsletter. Hibbett, the Birmingham, Alabama-based athletics apparel and footwear company, has launched an e-commerce website and mobile app dedicated to selling products for kids, the retailer announced Wednesday. The app is available on Android and iOS devices. Hibbett Kids offers apparel and footwear for kids ages 13 and younger from brands like New Balance, Jordan, Nike, Crocs and Adidas, the retailer said. The e-commerce platform features installment payment options, a customer service chat feature, access to its rewards program, new product release notifications and personalized content. The retailer will release new products on a daily basis. Just in time for the back-to-school season, Hibbett Kids presents shoppers with an expanded selection of children's footwear, apparel and accessories. 'We're expanding our digital footprint to better serve today's busy families and offering a more convenient, seamless, curated shopping experience from the nursery years through the teen stage,' Bill Quinn, CIO of Hibbett, said in a statement. 'We've built a thriving and successful kids business and in our next phase with Hibbett Kids, we will continue to engage with parents and caregivers in a more personalized way.' Customers can filter their searches by new arrivals, gender, size, price, color and brand, among other options. Hibbett is executing its digital push with a new owner at its helm. U.K.-based JD Sports bought Hibbett last year for $1.1 billion. Prior to that acquisition, Nike and Hibbett had established a partnership that connected their loyalty programs. In 2023, Nike and Hibbett created a joint rewards membership, allowing shoppers to earn rewards when they buy Nike and Jordan products through the retailer. Nike has a similar deal with JD Sports and Dick's Sporting Goods, among others. Meanwhile in the athletics sector, Dick's Sporting Goods announced in May that it would acquire Foot Locker in a $2.4 billion deal. Foot Locker will act as a stand-alone business and maintain its brands, including Kids Foot Locker. Foot Locker also recently underwent a digital transformation with a revamp of its app, resulting in an uptick in purchases. The app loads faster, features richer content and helps the retailer's loyalty members track and use their points, President Frank Bracken said on a call with analysts at the end of last year.

Forget Dyson, Shark's Newly Released FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan Gets Its First Discount for Early Prime Day
Summer is coming, or it's already here. Look, we're not seasonal experts, and time is a lie anyway, but the important thing here is that it's getting incredibly warm for a lot of us. While there are some people (who might be lizards) who thrive in the constant heat, a lot of us need a way to keep it at bay as efficiently as possible. Air conditioning helps on that front, but so can a really good fan. See at Amazon The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan is a really good fan, so much so, in fact, that it normally sells for $250. That's a big chunk of change, but thanks to a limited-time deal on Amazon, it's currently down to $200, which is 20% off. That's still a fair bit of money, but we think it's worth it at that price, and we're going to tell you why. The big attraction of this fan is that it can mist you up. It's got a container built in that allows it to draw up water, and then help lower the temperature by spreading that cooled water throughout the air, helping to lower the local temperature by up to 12 degrees. That also means it helps with the arid dryness that a lot of the US struggles with when things get really hot, so if that's an issue for you, this could be the solution. You can even control how often it mists, and add ice if you want to really chill things out a bit. You can always have it plugged in and on if you want to, as many people will, but if you need to venture outside for a bit, you can still benefit from it because it can switch between a power outlet and a cordless mode, which means that you can have it in your shed or just out in the garden when you want the rays of the sun, but not all of the heat that comes with it. It has an amazing air flow too, hitting up to 70 feet away, and plenty of speeds and modes to choose from to make sure it's ideal for you and your needs. It's just an excellent device even at full price, so this chance to save yourself $50 and get it for $200 shouldn't be missed. After all, the hot weather is here to stay for a while, but this deal likely won't be around for long. See at Amazon

Prices start as low as $49 for Shark devices or $29 for Ninja appliances. Smart TVs: deals from $88 @ WalmartWalmart has a massive sale on smart TVs. The sale includes TVs from brands like TCL, Hisense, JVC, and Walmart's own Onn brand. After discount, prices start as low as $88. Keep in mind that there are a few 1080p sets included in the sale. I recommend sticking with 4K resolution as the price difference isn't all that great. Light up your outdoor space at night with this set of string lights that are 100 feet long and include 50 bulbs. You'll want to spend all night under the stars with these lights that emit a soft white glow and will make a stylish statement hanging in your backyard or over your patio. This umbrella is the perfect addition to your backyard or patio. It provides optimal shade while adding some elegant style. The umbrella surface is UV-proof, waterproof and fade resistant so you can use it on both sunny and rainy days. Walmart is taking $140 off this folding Adirondack Chair, a durable piece of patio furniture that doesn't come cheap. But for just $99, this foldable, weather-proof design (it's constructed from high-density polyethylene lumber) is a steal. Reviewers rave these are easy to put together and are built to last for many summers to come. One buyer even notes it's "a very solid chair for the money!" This small outdoor conversation set is available for $130 off the regular price. Made of woven rattan, high-quality steel frames, and tempered glass table top, this adorable set will be the perfect spot to relax or enjoy a cocktail outdoors this spring.

Perfect for cozy spring nights by the fire pit, this set of rocking chairs feature a comfortable high-back design and plush cushions. The set also comes with a 2-tier coffee table. It will make a lovely addition to your porch or patio. I've got to recommend a TV when it's under $100, especially when it's 32-inch and comes from Walmart's very own Onn. range. It's a sturdy set with Roku Smart TV running the show., meaning you'll get access to a lot of streaming. So, if you're looking for a simple TV that'll let you watch your movies and shows in HD-quality, this one's at the breathtakingly cheap price of $88. If you want a new TV but don't want to overspend, the Hisense U8N Mini-LED TV offers an unbelievable price-to-performance ratio. In addition to its Mini-LED panel, it also offers beautiful contrast and colors as well as support for a 144Hz refresh rate, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision Atmos, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. In our Hisense U8N review we said the Editor's Choice TV is one of the best mini-LED TVs you can buy. The C4 is LG's current flagship OLED TV. It's powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/ HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we said content looked colorful and dazzlingly bright on the new C4 series. It's the best version we've seen of the company's top-selling OLED TV range. What if your TV could hide the fact it was a TV? The Frame by Samsung does just that, disguising itself as a piece of art whenever it's not in use. That's on top of a 4K QLED display, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos support, and all the smart features afforded by Samsung's Tizen OS. This is the cheapest price we've seen for the 55-inch model. The Keurig K-Express is your top choice if you're looking for a low-cost single-serve coffee maker, or a pop of color in your kitchen, as it's available in 6 colorways at Walmart. At just 6.5 inches wide, it's also compact and is ideal for small spaces. You can also brew one cup after another, without waiting for the water to reheat, which sits within the 36oz reserve. If you're after a basic yet versatile air fryer, this is a great deal. With a 4-quart, basket capacity, it's sufficient to cook fit 2 pounds of fries. This comes with convenient functions such as air fry, roast, bake and broil. Plus, at such a low price this is a deal not to be missed! Get rid of the tiniest of unwanted particles and air contaminants with the Shark Clean Sense Air Purifier. Its anti-allergen HEPA filter is designed to tackle everything form smog and toxins to dust and dander, giving you healthier, purified indoor air quality. The Ninja Creami has been making waves (scoops?) in the home cook world. We gave it 4 stars in our Ninja Creami review. We loved how easy it was to make delicious homemade ice cream. There's a huge range of recipe styles available, such as milkshake, froyo, and even gelato! And as if it couldn't get any better — the Creami is also easy to clean. Leave your spring cleaning to your digital assistant. The Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum features precision home mapping, powerful suction that makes it great for households with pets, and hands-free cleaning thanks to its Alexa/Google Assistant support. The Shark FlexStyle Hair Styling System can be used as a powerful, no-heat-damage hair dryer or an ultra-versatile multi-styler letting you curl, volumize, smooth, or dry. It's often compared to the popular Dyson Airwrap, but it's currently less than half the price (and might even be the superior choice performance-wise). We recommend jumping on this deal! A budget friendly option, these wireless headphones offer playback for up to 57 hours, and recharge in as little as 2 hours. They also have JBL Pure Bass sound. Although we haven't tested this model, they receive 4.5 out of 5 stars from Amazon customers for sound quality and value for money. Our JBL Go 4 review determined that this is the perfect portable Bluetooth speaker for those on a budget. Small enough to take traveling, it still packs enough performance to soundtrack small gatherings while bringing useful features like IP67 water and dust protection, and multi-point connectivity. It also comes in a variety of fun colors. Sony's budget on-ear cans are inexpensive, but they bring the sound where it counts. They earned a 4.5-star rating in our Sony WH-CH520 review, thanks to their top-notch sound, intuitive controls, and lengthy battery life of 50 hours. 3 minutes of charge nets you 1.5 hours of use as well, if you run out and need a quick boost. The SRS-XE200 is an IP67 certified Bluetooth speaker that's waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. It offers up to 16 hours of battery life and includes a built-in strap that makes it easy to take on the go. There's also a buit-in mic with echo cancelling technology. This is one the best bang for your buck party speakers on the market right now. Users reported that the speaker has thumping bass that doesn't distort even at loud volumes. This speaker has two 1/4" inputs at the reverse for a mic and a guitar, should you want to soundtrack the party on a more personal level. The XM5 are Sony's premium noise-cancelling headphones and our pick for the best headphones on the market. The large, over-ear cushions are incredibly comfortable and the active noise cancellation is excellent. Plus, despite ANC being a drain on battery life, these amazing headphones still give you up to 30 hours with ANC enabled. You can push that up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned off. The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This newer model includes a USB-C charging case. The 2nd-Gen Apple Watch SE sports an S8 processor, Crash Detection capability, and watchOS 9. In our Apple Watch SE review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find. Just note this sold for $149 back on Black Friday. The Apple Watch 10 boasts a thinner and lighter design, faster charging and a new sleep apnea detection feature. Some other new key features include 30% more screen area, rounded corners and a first-ever wide angle OLED display. The device also features advanced health insights, including the ability to take an ECG anytime. It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and very good speed.
