Stylish neck fan that's 'best thing ever' as heatwave arrives
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.
The fan has been bought over 4,000 times worldwide according to Amazon and is one of their 'Amazon Choice' products, meaning it's 'highly rated, well priced and available to ship immediately'. T he product is also available in pink and green, both costing £15.99, which is still a 20% discount.
"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."
Alternatives include the N25 USB Outdoor Portable Neck Cooling Mini Fan by Leaper and available from Debenhams and priced £19.99 and the Portable Neck Fan with Cooling Plate down by 12% to £29.99 via Amazon.
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."

A sleek, powerful soundbar and subwoofer combo that brings cinema-quality sound to the living room, it's powered by Sound Blaster's Clear Dialog and Surround audio technologies. The 2.1 setup includes dual custom-tuned mid-range drivers and a long-throw subwoofer for room-filling bass. It features multiple connectivity options including TV ARC, optical, AUX, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB audio, plus remote-controlled bass and treble adjustments. What users say "I am really impressed by the clear sound that this more moderately priced soundbar produces. The soundbar has simple sound modification options such as virtual surround sound and a setting for enhancing voice clarity with easy to use buttons on the remote." "For me, it was a good price, easy to install and a pleasure to use. The only minor criticism I have is that it remains in standby mode which these days is a no-no." Creative Stage Creative Stage is now available at £66.49, down from £79.99 on Amazon Designed to fit discreetly under monitors or TVs, this under-monitor soundbar delivers 160W peak power through dual mid-range drivers and a dedicated long-throw subwoofer.

Amazon shoppers ‘beat the heat' with 40% off ‘compact' cooler that's an alternative to air con
During a heatwave, it can be impossible to get comfortable at home. A cooling companion is a worthwhile investment, whether it's in the form of a good fan or an air cooler, like Amazon's bestseller, which has been reduced from £199.99 to £119.99. Mobile Air Conditioner £119.99 (was £199.99) As the UK experiences the latest in a series of heatwaves this season, it could be the time to invest in a solution to serve you for summers to come. For those whose homes get particularly stuffy, a fan might not cut it, especially if you're sick of blowing hot air around. Unlike air con units which are often large and unwieldy, Amazon's air cooler is much more compact option. The simple but effective machine comes with ice packs that can you freeze and add in, to transform hot air into a cooling breeze. At 60W, it's also energy-efficient, which means you won't have to fork out on high bills. One of the most irritating things about a heatwave is trying to sleep, but the air cooler has a handy timer which you can set to stay on from 1-7 hours, so you don't have to leave it on all night. Built on wheels, it's easy to move around too, so you can take it around with you when you're relaxing in different rooms in the house. Despite its compact 18cm x 26.5cm size, the water tank is large, and can last up to 16 hours before needing emptying. Although it doesn't have loads of reviews yet, the product has racked up a five-star rating so far on Amazon. One shopper said: ''This portable air conditioner chills your room fast, reduces humidity, and rolls easily from space to space.'' ''A compact, powerful way to beat the heat.'' Another shopper commented: ''I bought this because I don't have the space to install an air conditioner.'' ''I have to say, I found the perfect solution.'' ''It's small and fits anywhere, and it does its job perfectly.''
