Amazon slashes 30% off 'almost silent' smart tower fan controlled by your voice

Daily Record4 days ago

Shoppers can keep fresh and cool this summer with this quiet but powerful fan
When the temperature rises, finding ways to stay cool becomes a top priority. Whether shoppers are working, relaxing, or trying to sleep, a quiet and effective cooling solution can make a big difference to comfort, especially during warmer months.
Fans are a simple yet effective way to keep indoor spaces cool and comfortable, especially during warmer weather. From compact desk models to larger tower designs, they help provide relief easily - and now shoppers can get the GoveeLife 36-inch Smart Tower Fan for £63.17 down from £89.99 on Amazon.
With eight fan speeds and five unique modes - including normal, natural, sleep, auto, and a customisable option - this tower fan makes it easy to create the perfect breeze for any situation. Whether it's working in a home office or trying to cool down before bed, there's a setting to match everyone's needs.
The smart fan also connects quickly to Wi-Fi and works with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control. Shoppers can also use the dedicated app to set timers, schedule operating times, adjust speed or mode, and more - all from their phone.
Designed for wide coverage, the fan features a 75-degree oscillation range and a high-speed motor that delivers airflow up to 6.3 m/s. Its quiet operation is a standout feature, with a noise level as low as 27 dB in Sleep mode. The built-in temperature sensor also allows the fan to automatically adjust its speed based on the room's conditions.
For an alternative buy, shoppers could try the Shark FlexBreeze Portable Fan for £169.99, which is described as a hybrid indoor and outdoor fan with cover, pedestal stand, remote controller and InstaCool Misting Attachment. The 12-1-1 fan has five cooling speeds, 180 degrees oscillation, 55-degree tilt and a controller. The Pro Breeze OmniAir 41' 2-in-1 Bladeless Tower Fan and Air Purifier from Debenhams is another choice for £149.99 that is said to remove up to 99% of dust, pollen, odours and pollutants from the air.
The GoveeLife fan, however, has a 4.5 out of 5-star rating on Amazon. One shopper said: 'Almost silent on level 1, still very quiet on top level and it looks great too.'
Another said: 'This fan is amazing. It looks modern, doesn't make too much noise when on, and can easily link to Alexa.'
'This looks great,' said another. 'Its footprint is small and tucks away in a small space. It runs quietly because of the strong breeze it emits.'
Naturally, not everyone loved the fan, and one person said: 'It's not as quiet as I had hoped for.'
With money off the GoveeLife 36-inch Smart Tower Fan, however, it could be the perfect option to cool homes as temperatures increase this summer.

X-Sense FS31 smart smoke alarm kit review – a safety tech game-changer

A smart smoke alarm has so many benefits over a conventional system | X-Sense This article contains affiliate links.

Our lights, our locks, our speakers, our vacuum cleaners, even our fridges. So it feels like making essential safety kit smarter would be a natural progression. And, while I'm really not sure why my dishwasher needs to have smart capabilities, making life-saving tech a little bit more savvy feels like a sensible progression. To put that to the test, I've been reviewing part of a suite of smart safety tech from X-Sense a well-established global company that works hard to improve safety through innovation. My choice of product was its new FS31 Smart Smoke Alarm Kit. Through a base station hub, which comes with the kit, you can rig it up to work alongside everything from carbon monoxide detectors and water leak sensors, but I know from my previous job as a news reporter, that the smoke alarm is one of the most important devices you can have in your house. Using an app to test or silence the alarm is so much easier than climbing a ladder | X-Sense Truth be told, smart smoke alarms are nothing new. I've tested plenty of them, but the first thing that strikes you about the three alarm units included in this kit is how compact they are. You just mount them in the key areas you need monitoring, connect them to the app through the base station, and let them get on with the job of keeping you safe. Remarkably, you can add up to 50 devices to this little hub, which means you can create a whole ecosystem of monitoring tech, and it's all reporting live to the app. If it detects smoke, there's a penetrating 100db alarm across all the units, and you get alerted via an app. The beauty of this is, obviously, you know there's a problem wherever you are - home or away. It also means, if you get an alert because your wife has burned the scrambled eggs again, you can silence it from the sofa, using the app. No more getting up, climbing a ladder, and pressing a reset button. The three-sensor bundle currently costs £55 - and that's a bargain | X-Sense It uses a conventional battery, which is said to last for up to five years, and the units will let you know if there's any sort of problem, or if the battery needs replacing. So no more getting out of bed at 3am to figure out which one's making that horrible little "pip" noise. And I haven't even got to the best bit yet. A pack of three smoke alarms and a base station costs just £55.99 - if you can catch a 30% discount on Amazon. And that's incredibly cheap for smart tech, let alone a set of three smart devices which have a 10-year lifespan. Adding extra X-Sense units is also a bargain, so it's clearly a company that has mastered the trick of providing quality products at sensible prices. If the alarms were fiddly to use, unreliable, or felt poorly made, I'd understand the price. But the fact is they're just not. They work really well, they're easy to set up, and I'm impressed by the quality. In fact I can't think of the last time I was this impressed with a product, taking into account all factors, especially the price. Given this is a safety device, and given how important I know smoke alarms are, I can't hesitate to give it five stars. Every house should have one of these kits.

Mapped: The changing face of Princes Street

With vacancies at their lowest rate in many years and several major redevelopments underway, including work to turn the former Jenners, Debenhams and Forsyth's department stores into hotels with retail on ground floors, the street is poised to take on a new identity — one increasingly shaped by hospitality and leisure. More stories from our series on The Future of Edinburgh: According to business improvement district group Essential Edinburgh, recent investment figures have totalled around £1.7 billion, including £150 million Johnnie Walker Experience in the former Frasers at the west end of Princes Street and the £48m Jenners revamp. Meanwhile plans to change long-abandoned offices and storage space in the upper floors of buildings into visitor accommodation have been approved by the council, while a relaxation of planning policies around retail uses in 2020 means more coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets are moving into Princes Street. To show what's happening at this critical juncture for Princes Street - and what's coming next - we've built an interactive map as part of our series exploring the Future of Edinburgh. This lets you explore key sites along the street, including current vacancies, ongoing redevelopments, and new occupants already open or preparing to launch. Read more:

Samsung Galaxy phone drops to cheapest price with lesser-known code

Get this affordable Samsung phone cheaper thanks to this secret code on Argos Samsung has a full range of smartphones. While the Galaxy S models usually take all the headlines, the Galaxy A models offer much the same experience for a lot less money. That's why Samsung nicknames them 'Galaxy Awesome'. The great thing about Galaxy A models is the price, with the Galaxy A36 being one of the more affordable models. Not only is this phone good value for money, but Argos is running a double discount on it: the Galaxy A36 is reduced to £324.99, instantly saving £75 off the launch price, but then there's an extra 10% off. That means shoppers can get the Samsung Galaxy A36 for £292.49 on Argos, the cheapest it has ever been. To save the extra 10% you'll have to use the code 'RED10' at checkout, so remember to add the code when putting in your payment details. It's also available from Amazon but costs a little more at £399, while shoppers can also buy it direct from Samsung too. The advantage of buying from Samsung is that there are trade-in offers you can take advantage of. However, to get this much of a discount – the Argos deal saves you £107.50 off the original price from Samsung – you'd need to trade in a phone that's better than the Galaxy A36, so it's not worth it. Those looking for a phone deal that's not the Galaxy A36, then the Poco X7 Pro on Amazon is £269, saving £75, and this gamer's phone offers more power, a bigger battery and faster charging, but the user experience isn't as smooth as Samsung offers. The Samsung Galaxy A36 has a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 256GB of storage and comes in a great modern design, with IP67 protection against water, so it will be happy at the beach. It's powered by Snapdragon hardware, but here it's mid-range Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, so this isn't the fastest phone around. While it will be fine for day-to-day activities like checking emails and social media, however it doesn't have the power for a great gaming experience, which we'd urge customers to consider when shopping. Another drawback to the budget Galaxy A36 model is the display. The model has been noted to have a 'dim' display when used outdoors, something not found to be an issue on the higher end Galaxy S25 range. One of the great things is that Samsung offers 6 years of updates. That means your phone will still get the latest features and still have security updates in 2031. Samsung's One UI is one of the most popular phone experiences in Android devices, with plenty of options for customisation. There's a triple camera on the back, including a 50-megapixel main sensor, with Galaxy AI editing features bundled in, so once users have snapped their photo, it can be cleaned up using AI. The Samsung Galaxy A36 sits below the Galaxy A56 and these two devices make up the mid-range tier of Samsung phones before you get to the Galaxy S25 models above it.
