The Silvercrest tower fan costs £69.99
At just £69.99, it's a bargain alternative to a Dyson – £250 cheaper – and a firm favourite with shoppers.
Last available in June, the fan comes with three speed settings, an oscillation function, and a remote control – a great choice for staying cool on a budget.
With summer temperatures rising, the budget-friendly fan has become a hot topic online – praised not only for its price but for performance too.
One shopper, who picked up the hot weather gadget last month gave it a rating of 10/10 on TikTok and said: "I'm obsessed.
"It's quiet, powerful and so aesthetic - for a fraction of the price."
Another shopper said on Facebook: "It's brilliant. We have a big one and a small one."
A third said: "I've got the big one and it's really good."
If something at Lidl catches your eye, make sure to head to your local store quickly – stock is limited, and once it's gone, it's gone.
You can find your closest Lidl supermarket by visiting lidl.co.uk/c/store-finder/s10023098.
The Silvercrest fan not the only Lidl dupe shoppers are loving from budget supermarket.
Watch Dyson's Hot+Cool air-purifying fan in action – including 'sleep' mode
The Silvercrest Air Fryer, priced at £49.99, has been hailed as a cheaper alternative to the £200 Ninja version.
The Monsieur Cuisine Smart, at £399.99, is a fan favourite and often compared to the high-end Thermomix which can cost more than £1,000.
The Silvercrest Cordless Vacuum, on sale for £59.99, has drawn comparisons to the Dyson V8, with many praising its strong suction and lightweight design.
Meanwhile, the Livarno Home LED Mirror for £39.99 is also getting noticed, offering a sleek look and built-in lighting similar to expensive designer models.
When shopping Lidl's special deals, it's always a good idea to compare prices with other retailers to ensure you're getting the best value.
You can use online tools like Trolley.co.uk or Google Shopping to help with this.
Prices can vary depending on the model, size, and retailer, so comparing options is essential before making a decision.
Lastly, remember that a deal is only worthwhile if you genuinely need the product.
Buying something just because it's on offer doesn't necessarily mean you're saving money.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
How can I save money when shopping at Lidl?
Lidl reduces items at the start of the day, and the best deals can be found between 7am and 8am, when most stores open.
Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more.
Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also has its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain booze.
Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl" – it's here where you'll find a load of random stuff you didn't realise you needed, at decent prices.
But if you are hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the "Middle of Lidl" on the supermarket's website in advance.
The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday.

Inside ‘Bill Gates' $645million ‘first of its kind' eco superyacht with cinema, basketball court and even a hospital

With a basketball court, a hospital, multiple libraries, two offices and a cinema, the superyacht reportedly boasts a jaw-dropping level of amenities YACHT CHEAP Inside 'Bill Gates' $645million 'first of its kind' eco superyacht with cinema, basketball court and even a hospital Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE 390ft superyacht rumoured to be owned by billionaire Bill Gates is about to face its world debut as it goes up for sale. Best known as "the Bill Gates yacht", the ultra-luxury vessel is expected to find its new owner at the Monaco Yacht Show in September.

Once only known as Project 821, from Dutch-shipyard Feadship, Breakthrough will finally surface in Port Hercule, Monaco. Breakthrough has been hailed as the world's first hydrogen-powered superyacht - and comes with a staggering $645million (£476million) price tag. With a basketball court, a hospital, multiple libraries, two offices and a cinema, the superyacht reportedly boasts a jaw-dropping level of amenities. The superyacht can host up to 44 crew members at any given time, across 12 guest staterooms, two staff cabins, and 14 balconies. Though the owner accommodation extends beyond a single deck. The owner - be that Gates or another highly wealthy individual - would occupy the "completely private" four-story townhouse tucked away inside the yacht. 8 Elsewhere in the yacht is a pool with a moveable glass bottom that allows the deck to be transformed into a dining space, multiple hot tubs, steam room and a gym Credit: Edmiston "This includes both a spacious staircase lined with bookshelves and display nooks and an owner's elevator," according to Edmiston, which appears to be brokering the sale of the yacht. Edmiston detailed in its listing: "At each deck level, there are inviting private lifestyle destinations to savour such as a coffee corner and games niche on the bridge deck, a library on the main deck, and a private dining room with a sea terrace and adjacent en suite stateroom on the lower deck. "It creates, in essence, a secluded four-level townhouse-by-the sea within the much larger yacht." Inside the invite-only superyacht 'sea hotel' with four-story penthouse - & another $450m 'twin' ship is on the way Elsewhere in the yacht is a pool with a moveable glass bottom that allows the deck to be transformed into a dining space, multiple hot tubs, steam room and a gym. 8 As the first superyacht to run on hydrogen alone, Breakthrough stores compressed liquid hydrogen below deck at a whopping -253°C Credit: Edmiston Chief executive Jamie Edmiston, whose father founded the yacht brokerage in 2001, said Breakthrough was "the most extraordinary yacht ever built". He added that it will be "the one that will change it all" due to it being powered solely by liquid hydrogen and a next-gen fuel cell system. Hydrogen fuel cells have been used to power both cars and rockets - but nothing has existed in the maritime sector. There weren't even any regulations for hydrogen storage and fuel-cell systems to go by, according to Feadship. As the first superyacht to run on hydrogen alone, Breakthrough stores compressed liquid hydrogen below deck at a whopping -253°C. The heat that is emitted when processing the hydrogen is then used in everything from the pool and steam room to the towel bars and flooring in the guest bathrooms. 8 Breakthrough Yacht For Sale, TAKEN WITHOUT PERMISSION, Credit: Edmiston Edmiston, who worked closely on Project 821, said: "The brief was to build the greenest and most environmentally advanced yacht ever built, without compromise. "It was a huge challenge, but one that the team has embraced and delivered on. "The yacht we see today, designed by RWD and built by Feadship is without doubt the best yacht ever built." Jan-Bart Verkuyl, director of Feadship, added that the aim was always "to develop a new, clean technology not just for this project, but for the world".

Donald Trump hits course at Turnberry for second round of golf on visit to Scotland

DON THE COURSE Donald Trump hits course at Turnberry for second round of golf on visit to Scotland Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DONALD Trump has teed off for a second round of golf this morning at his luxury Turnberry resort. The President was spotted out on the Ayrshire course sporting the USA white baseball cap he was wearing yesterday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Donald Trump has teed off for another round of golf at Turnberry Credit: AP 8 The President is sporting the same white USA baseball cap he was wearing yesterday Credit: AFP 8 The President has been joined by son Eric again this morning Credit: Getty 8 His other son Donald Trump Jr was also spotted on the course with wife Vanessa Credit: AFP The Republican leader arrived at around 11.06am at the coastal course in Girvan, Ayrshire. Police were seen patrolling the golf course as associates of Trump played a round of golf earlier in the morning. A huge motorcade of golf buggies arrived just before 10.40am. Trump was spotted driving his own golf buggie as he gave a wave to the media. He was also seen in action taking a chip shot onto one of the greens. The President is also joined by his son Eric again this morning on the Ailsa course, as well as his other son Donald Trump Jr. Today, he will meet European Commission Ursula von der Leyen for talks on the trading relationship between Europe and the US. The talks come ahead of discussions with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday, which are also expected to focus on the issue of trade. The UK and the US struck a trade deal recently, with discussions between the two men expected to focus on this - with reports suggesting Sir Keir will be looking for the US to cut the tariffs for British steel. The start of discussions show the US President getting down to business on what is a private, five-day visit to Scotland. Donald Trump touches down in Scotland On Saturday he was spotted playing a round at the famous Turnberry course, which he purchased back in 2014. A massive security operation was in place as the President played golf on the course. He drove his own golf buggy, but a heavy security presence saw Mr Trump flanked by a fleet of similar vehicles. Even before he took to the course, police officers and military personnel could be seen searching the area around the Trump Turnberry resort - which has had a metal fence erected around it as part of heightened security measures. No protesters were seen while he was golfing on Saturday - but hundreds of people gathered in both Edinburgh and Aberdeen for demonstrations against his visit organised by the Stop Trump Coalition. After spending some time at his South Ayrshire resort, the President will head to Aberdeenshire, where he is expected to open a second course at his Trump International golf resort in Balmedie. During his time in the north-east, Mr Trump is also due to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney. 8 Donald Trump made an appearance at his Trump Turnberry golf course as he teed off this morning Credit: Reuters 8 A massive security operation was in place as the President played golf on the course Credit: PA 8 Police were seen patrolling the golf course as associates of Trump played a round of golf earlier in the morning Credit: AP

Angry campaigners waved creative signs in Aberdeen and Edinburgh as the American leader enjoyed a round of golf at his luxury Ayrshire resort. But this didn't get the leader of the free world down as he breezed past them while listening to Billy Ocean's 1983 hit Uptown Girl. Also on President Trump's playlist was Memory from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, All Out of Love by Air Supply, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. Today, the US leader will meet the president of the European Commission as work gets underway on a five-day visit to Scotland.

During his time in the north east, Mr Trump is also due to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney. Speaking ahead of the talks, Mr Swinney said it was his responsibility to "raise global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza" with the President. Saying he wanted to "ensure Scotland's voice is heard at the highest levels of government across the world" Mr Swinney added: "That is exactly what I will do when I meet with President Trump during his time in Scotland." Mr Swinney announced that he met Ms von der Leyen on Saturday evening in Glasgow and discussed the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Mr Swinney said: "I was pleased to welcome the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to Scotland. "During our meeting, I outlined Scotland's continued support for the European Union's leadership in demanding free and safe humanitarian aid in Gaza, alongside efforts to bring an end to the unbearable suffering unfolding. "I also took the opportunity to reiterate Scotland's steadfast commitment to Ukraine and the country's commitment to work with European partners on key issues, including energy."
