Hurry! This portable cooling fan from Shark is $40 off in early Prime Day sales

Tom's Guide30-06-2025
In the words of Glenn Frey, the heat is on. This week looks set to deliver another mini heatwave which makes it even more important to stay hydrated and keep cool.
One of the best ways to do so is by investing in a portable fan and right now, Shark's FlexBreeze HydroGo is currently slashed by 20% at Amazon, bringing the price down to just $119.
The deal covers all the different colors of the fan, apart from Quartz which is currently unavailable.
The FlexBreeze HydroGo is selling out fast. This innovative and portable cooling solution brings the breeze both indoors and outdoors. Plus, with cutting-edge misting technology, it creates a spa-like cooling effect that will see temperatures dropping and life in the sunshine improving. With rechargeable batteries, it can last up to 12 hours, keeping you cool and comfy.
The FlexBreeze HydroGo launched back in March, but with temperatures looking to hit the high 70's towards the end of the first week of July, it's fair to say there's an uptick of interest in Shark's little fan. In fact, it looks like Amazon has had to restock as last week a number of different colorways were unavailable.
You're also likely to have seen this little guy pop up on TikTok or Instagram in recent weeks. It seems like it's fast becoming this summer's Stanley water bottle.
The beauty of this fan is that it's portable — so you can take it with you when you leave the safety of home A/C to venture into the backyard or out to the park. It's got a carry handle, weighs only 5lbs and, according to Shark, has a battery life of 12 hours.
The fan produces evaporative misting with ultra-fine droplets that aim to reduce temperatures by up to 5°C/41°F.

In fact, when my colleague Millie tried the larger Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo out for herself and felt that it probably could have performed better — she notes that's the one thing you need to know about before you buy it.
Given how popular this fan is proving to be on social media, I'd recommend grabbing this deal to guarantee a more comfortable night's sleep. Just bear in mind that Amazon's Prime Day promotion is coming up, so we could see a greater discount later in July — if you're prepared to roll the dice.

Ford CEO Found Young People Didn't Want to Work There Because $17 Wages Left Them 'So Stressed' - Then He Made An Expensive Change 'The Country Needs'

Turns out, a $17-an-hour paycheck doesn't go as far as it used to—especially if you're young, exhausted, and juggling two jobs just to survive. Ford (NYSE:F) CEO Jim Farley heard this loud and clear from his own factory floors. And instead of shrugging it off or blaming "kids these days," he made a move that echoed the bold playbook of Henry Ford himself—one that he says America desperately needs more of. In a June interview at the Aspen Ideas Festival with Walter Isaacson—the renowned biographer best known for his books on Steve Jobs, Leonardo da Vinci, and Elon Musk—Farley peeled back the curtain on what younger workers were really telling him about life on a $17 wage. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics—now it's your turn to $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. "The older workers who'd been at the company said, 'None of the young people want to work here. Jim, you pay $17 an hour, and they are so stressed,'" Farley recalled. "They've got to work at Amazon for eight hours, then they come over to Ford for seven hours, and then they sleep for three or four hours—and then they go back. And they're barely getting by." Rather than issue a tone-deaf memo or wait for another generation to settle for less, Farley made a decisive, expensive change: he converted every temporary worker into a full-time employee. "It wasn't easy to do," he admitted. "It was expensive. But I think that's the kind of changes we need to make in our country." Farley's move isn't just about better paychecks—it's about reviving an old-school idea that once turned Ford into a powerhouse: when you pay workers well, they can afford the products they help build. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can Quoting the legendary Henry Ford, Farley said, "'I'm doing this because I want my factory worker to buy my cars. If they make enough money, they'll buy my own product.'" Then he added, "It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way." In 1914, Henry Ford famously raised factory wages to $5 a day—nearly double the going rate. It wasn't a random act of generosity. It was a smart bet that higher wages would lead to a more stable, productive workforce and—bonus—more people who could afford to drive off in a Model T. According to Farley, it worked then, and it can work now. He also pointed to deeper structural issues. For Farley, the wage issue is just one layer of a bigger challenge: the U.S. hasn't kept up in preparing young people for careers in skilled trades. "Our governments have to get really serious about investing in trade schools and skilled trades," Farley said. "You go to Germany—every one of our factory workers has an apprentice starting in junior high school. Every one of those jobs has a person behind it for eight years that is trained."Farley's big bet may not please Wall Street, but it's not aimed at them. "We decided as a company that a cooler problem than full autonomy in an urban setting was high-speed, eyes-off driving on highways—push a button, read a book," he told Isaacson, in reference to how Ford picks its battles. When it comes to labor, he's taking that same eyes-on-the-road approach—focusing on people, not just profits. And while turning temps into full-timers might not boost short-term stock prices, Farley's betting on a longer game: one where the people building America's cars can actually afford to drive them.
