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.

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.

Skydiving company closes for good after mum-of-four fell to her death with instructor in tandem skydive
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE SKYDIVING company where a mum and her instructor plunged to their deaths has announced it has ceased trading - leaving punters hundreds of pounds out of pocket. Skydive Buzz Ltd, based at Dunkeswell Airfield, near Honiton, Devon, has told customers that the firm is to be put into compulsory liquidation. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Belinda Taylor was killed in a skydive jump Credit: facebook/scottarmstrong 3 Her instructor also died in the horror The company arranged a tandem parachute jump which went catastrophically wrong, leading to the deaths of Belinda Taylor, 48, and her instructor Adam Harrison, 30, on Friday, June 13. The pair died in a field after their parachutes failed to open. A British Skydiving Board of Inquiry is investigating. In recent weeks the company had stopped answering calls and customers said bookings had been cancelled. Now Skydive Buzz has sent an email to those customers informing them of its decision. The letter, sent out on Thursday, July 24, says: "It is with regret that the directors have been required to make the difficult decision to cease operations with immediate effect. "It is proposed that the company be placed into compulsory liquidation in due course. "The Official Receiver should be in contact with creditors and customers to provide an update regarding the closure of the company and the proposed liquidation proceedings." One customer said she is currently £550 out of pocket after paying for three skydives. She said: 'We have contacted the voucher company that we got them from and because it's been over two years since we bought the vouchers (because our skydives have been cancelled three times now since 2023) we won't be getting our money back apparently. "I have always found them very helpful when the sky dives have been cancelled. "They have always been very accommodating so it's very frustrating to find out that this is basically now just lost money." Another customer said: "We were due to skydive Sunday, July 6 but it was cancelled due to weather. Brit SAS hero killed in parachute crash in South Africa at skydiving contest "They sent us a link to re-book but they had nothing else available the week we were in Devon. "We emailed them twice whilst we were there but no reply. Also tried calling once home. "Then I checked the website and Facebook page and noticed it was no longer there. "Luckily we booked through Virgin who have offered vouchers or a refund so money wise we are ok." Other customers include Marie Neal who was due to jump earlier this month having raised thousands of pounds for St Luke's Hospice in memory of her dad who was struck down with Hodgkin's Disease and died aged 57. Prior to receiving the email from the company, she said: "I have a lot of people that have sponsored me and St Luke's are waiting for their money but Buzz Skydiving seems to have disappeared." In the aftermath of the tragedy Skydive Buzz announced its intention to continue. It says the closure is due to financial reasons alone. A number of jobs will be lost but the company has not said how many. In its email the company has offered some advice to those with vouchers. It says: "It is advisable to contact the voucher company in the first instance (i.e. Virgin, Red Letter Days, Into the Blue, etc) to progress potential refunds. "Customers paying by credit card may be entitled to a refund through Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act, subject to certain conditions. "Customers paying by debit card may be able to request a chargeback through their bank, subject to certain conditions. "We would like to thank our staff, customers and all involved with Sky Dive Buzz for their support over the years and apologise again that we have been left with little other option but to close." Inquests have been opened into the tragic deaths of Belinda, who lived in Totnes, and Adam, who lived in Bournemouth, Dorset. Belinda was a participant in the tandem skydive, with Adam as her instructor. The pair exited the aircraft and began the freefall, the inquest heard. The parachute did not open as expected and they died of injuries sustained in the fall. Belinda's partner Scott Armstrong spoke of his heartbreak after she died. Scott had bought Belinda the skydive as a "thank you" present, he said, after she let his nine-year-old son move into their home. Belinda had never jumped from an aircraft before, but was described as an adrenaline junkie who would try anything once.

'Reliable' Ninja frying pan set that's 'perfect for everyday cooking' now £30 less
"Best pan I have ever had! I have been using it for a year now and it is still perfect." When it comes to homeware, Ninja has become one of the biggest and best names in the business in recent years. From top of the range air fryers to reusable water bottles, shoppers know they deliver quality. But with the Ninja name, a hefty price tag can often follow. But, currently, a five-piece set of pots and pans is enjoying a tasty discount, meaning you could kit out your kitchen for less. The Ninja ZEROSTICK Classic 5-Piece Pan Set is on sale for £118.50 at Amazon, down from its RRP of £149.99. Over on Ninja's own website, the set remains at its full price. The popular set includes 16cm, 18cm, and 20cm saucepans with tempered glass lids, as well as two frying pans of 20cm and 24cm. They are dishwasher safety, scratch-proof, and resistant to metal utensils, reports MyLondon. They can withstand oven temperatures up to 180C and are suitable for induction rings, with Ninja saying their pans are "perfect for frying crispy bacon, sizzling steaks, golden pancakes, eggs and more". Elsewhere, Tesco are offering the Meyer 5 Piece Stainless Steel Induction Non-Stick Pan Set for £85. While ProCook have cut the price of the Gourmet 6-piece Non-Stick Cookware Set from £175 to £130. Back to the Ninja Zerostick set, it boasts a 4.6 rating from over 4,600 Amazon reviews. Its popularity is clear, with over 1,000 bought in the last month. One satisfied customer said: "This is a fantastic addition to my kitchen, and it's clear why it comes with a higher price tag. "The size is perfect for everyday cooking, and the solid construction gives it a premium feel. The non-stick surface works like a dream-food slides right off, and cleanup is a breeze. It's a good, solid, heavy feeling pan. "What really stands out to me is the handle. Unlike cheaper frying pans I've owned, this one feels incredibly sturdy. It's secured with two bolts (not just one), so I don't feel like there's going to be any rattling or loosening over time. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference in terms of durability and comfort." They did, however, admit that the price was more expensive than you can get elsewhere, but still praised the product, saying: "The price is definitely on the higher side. However, considering the quality, it's to be expected. Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £25. "You're paying for a brand-name product that's built to last, and I don't anticipate needing to replace this pan anytime soon. It's also versatile with being induction compatible and oven-safe up to 180°C - I doubt a cheap one would hold up to that! "While it's an investment, I believe it's worth it for anyone looking for a reliable, long-lasting frying pan. If you're tired of replacing cheap pans every year, this one is a great choice. Highly recommend for those willing to pay a bit more for quality." Yet not all feedback was positive. A less satisfied customer remarked: "Scratched and peeling after less than a year of gentle use - got this pan last year in July and had to throw it today after big peeling areas/scratches formed in the middle of it. Not what I expected after the good reviews and with such short time of use." But another glowing testimony read: "I recently purchased the Ninja ZEROSTICK frying pan, and I'm very impressed! The non-stick surface works exactly as advertised – cooking eggs, pancakes, and fish has been a breeze with no sticking or mess. "It heats up quickly and evenly, and cleanup is a dream – just a quick rinse and it's good as new. The handle stays cool to the touch, making it comfortable to use, and the build quality feels solid. You can even use it in the oven up to 180C!". "Overall, this pan offers great performance and durability at a reasonable price. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality frying pan!" And another happy shopper commented: "Best pan I have ever had! I have been using it for a year now and it is still perfect." Get the Ninja ZEROSTICK Classic 5-Piece Pan Set for £118.50 HERE. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Exact time you should schedule interview to get the job of your dreams revealed by scientists
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCIENTISTS have revealed the exact time your should schedule a job interview to secure the job of your dreams. After studying over 100,000 oral exams at Italian universities, researchers identified a specific two-hour window when success rates were highest. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The reasons behind this midday advantage are thought to involve biological rhythms Credit: Getty Midday, between 11am and 1pm, appears to be the ideal time for interviews, while early morning and late afternoon sessions tend to be less promising. Professor Carmelo Vicario, director of the Cognitive Neuroscience lab at the University of Messina in Sicily, said: "Students were more likely to pass in late morning compared to early morning or late afternoon. "We believe this pattern could extend to job interviews or any evaluative process scheduled throughout the day." Professor Alessio Avenanti of the University of Bologna, a co-author of the study, said: "These findings have wide-ranging implications." The reasons behind this midday advantage are thought to involve biological rhythms. Candidates may perform better during this time, while assessors - whether examiners or interviewers - could feel sharper and even more generous after meal breaks or earlier sessions. Previous studies have highlighted similar patterns, including research showing judges are more likely to deliver lenient decisions after meal breaks than later in the day. The UK job market is highly competitive, with an average of 48.7 people applying for each job, according to recruitment software firm Tribepad. Despite this, employers typically only interview around six candidates per vacancy. This makes it essential to prepare thoroughly and stand out to secure your spot and succeed in the interview. Living wage working family react to the Spring Statement How else can I boost my chances? To improve your chances of success in a UK job interview, there are several strategies to consider beyond simply timing your interview well. Fortunately, the recruitment site has shared its top tips to help you prepare. Follow along so you can smash that next interview. Do your homework First, thoroughly research the company to avoid appearing unprepared, as nearly half of hiring managers are put off by candidates who lack knowledge about the organisation. Study the company's website, recent news, mission, and values. Plus, ensure you fully understand the role by reviewing the job description and preparing to align your skills and experience with the job requirements, as failing to do so is a common reason for interview failure. Prepare and practice Preparation and practice are key to building confidence. Anticipate common questions such as "Why do you want this job?" and "Why are you leaving your current role?" Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers to competency-based questions clearly and effectively. Practising your responses will help you deliver them with clarity and confidence during the interview. Master your communication Communication plays a crucial role in making a strong impression. Your body language should convey confidence, with good posture and consistent eye contact. Actively listen to the interviewer to ensure your answers are relevant and show genuine engagement. Speak clearly and remain calm, taking a moment to think before responding if needed. Engage in two-way conversation Engaging in a two-way conversation is another way to leave a positive impression. Prepare questions about the role, team dynamics, and company culture to demonstrate your interest. Avoid asking about salary or benefits during the initial interview. Using the interviewer's name during the conversation can help build rapport and create a more personal connection. Keep it professional Professionalism is essential throughout the process. Dress appropriately in smart business attire if you are unsure of the dress code. Arriving 10-15 minutes early shows punctuality, as being late is often seen as a red flag. And be polite to everyone you encounter, from the receptionist to the interviewer, as your conduct with others can influence the overall assessment. Consider following up Finally, consider following up after the interview with a thank-you note. While this is not a guaranteed way to secure the job, a personalised thank-you email or note can tip the scales in your favour if the decision is between two strong candidates. It demonstrates professionalism and reiterates your interest in the role.
