Pureborne 36" Smart Tower Fan
£69.99 (was £324.99)
While a bit of hot weather doesn't go amiss, many UK homes aren't built to stay cool and air con is a rarity.
Whether you work from home, want to relax without overheating or struggle to sleep in the heat, an efficient fan is a smart investment.
The Pureborne 36" Smart Tower Fan is now £69.99, and while Amazon is never lacking in deals, it's rare to see a discount as big as 78%.
The slim design of a tower fan is ideal if you don't want to take up too much floor space, and it also means the airflow reaches a higher range so you can stay cool in bed or on the sofa.
This one's 91cm tall, and has four speeds and four modes - 'normal' for a powerful airflow, 'natural' replicating an outdoor breeze, 'sleep' for during the night and 'auto'.
The 1-12 hour timer is handy if you want to set intervals for while you sleep, or you can set it to come on and cool down the room before you arrive home.
Another useful feature is the app connection - you can connect the fan to your phone to control it remotely, and it can also be connected to Alexa and Google for voice activation.
The fan is designed to be quiet too, so you can minimise disturbance while you're working or doing chores around the house.
With a perfect five-star rating so far, the Amazon fan is racking up customer reviews, and has made it onto the bestsellers list.
One shopper said: ''This Pureborne tower fan is sleek and super quiet, perfect for bedrooms or offices.''
''The remote and app control make it super convenient to adjust settings from anywhere.''
''Great airflow and easy to use!''
Another commented: ''Quiet, Powerful, and Smart!''
While a third praised the fan, adding: ''This fan is a fantastic space saver!''
''Not only does it save space but it is easy to use and helps to keep my home office cool.''
Alternatively, if your sleep's being affected by the heatwaves, you could see a big difference by trying out one of the best cooling pillows.

I'm a tech critic, here's how to work productively from your garden
Another heatwave is upon us, and it's time to reinstate your portable air conditioner in its prime position and ensure you've got a handheld fan whenever you leave the house. When it comes to working, I'd recommend moving your office outside into the garden or onto your balcony and patio – consider this your ultimate guide to WFO (working from outside). There really is nothing worse than having to sit indoors and work on a beautiful summer's day. But the realities of working outside, with the sun shining on your face, glare hitting the screen, and your laptop constantly overheating might make it less of an enjoyable experience than you first thought. If you want to work smart this summer when you're outdoors in the garden, I've rounded up a survival kit of gadgets to help ensure you're just as productive outside as you are when working inside. How I tested I've found a product for every possible working outdoor annoyance, and then put that product through rigorous testing on my north London balcony and in my parents' garden to ensure it successfully fixes that problem. With this set-up, you won't need access to many (if any) plug sockets, so you can work well without having to thread an extension lead out of the window. I've thought about sun glare, noise, persistent and fast access to the internet, your laptop overheating, and, of course, you overheating.

Labour slammed for masking true cost of handing Chagos Islands to Mauritius
LABOUR is under fire for masking the true cost of handing the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Taxpayers will spend £34.7million on a 99-year lease of the archipelago's military base, a freedom of information request reveals. 2 But yesterday Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones said the government does 'not recognise' that figure. She told GB News: 'The Prime Minister has been forthright in saying the true cost of this is £3.4billion.' Defending the deal as vital to national security, she added: 'The US is on board with this agreement to make sure we can maintain the Diego Garcia base for national security.' But Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride slammed the government's assurances on the cost of leasing the base as 'totally and utterly unacceptable'. He said: 'They want to make the numbers look smaller. 'We don't think that's being straight with the British people.' The £34.7billion figure — obtained by the Government Actuary's Department — is the lease's total cost over 99 years. Financial experts estimate it is the equivalent to around £10billion in today's money, once the effects on inflation have been stripped out. But that's still nearly three times the figure given by Sir Keir Starmer. A Government spokesman said: 'The Diego Garcia military base is essential to the security of the UK and our key allies. Starmer signs deal with Mauritius to hand over Chagos Islands 'The average cost is £101million per year, and the net present value of payments is £3.4billion — less than 0.2 per cent of the annual defence budget. 'The costs compare favourably with other international military base agreements.'

Bemused commuter slapped with 15 train tickets after taking bike on train
A BEMUSED rail user was issued with 15 tickets to take his bicycle on a day return trip. The man, who usually gets a digital day return, had to buy the physical version because of his cycle. He watched amazed as a machine spat out four split-fare singles, eight bike vouchers, two seat reservations and a collection receipt. And his tickets, which cost £43.60 through Trainline, were not checked once on the Bristol to Exeter return. He posted a picture of the stack online, captioned: 'What a perfectly streamlined system. 'Turns out if you bring a bike then you travel like it's 1985.' The man, who did not want to be named, added: 'I found it ridiculous but not surprising. 'This is quintessential British Rail network inefficiency. 'We are miles behind the rest of Europe and even Australia with this sort of thing.' Others replied with snaps of their own ticket collections. Some called for more contactless systems across the UK. Great Western Railway said booking tickets through third parties automatically generated separate tickets and reservations for each part of a journey. A spokesman said: 'Each one serves an important purpose in ensuring a customer has a valid ticket for each part of the trip. 'Purchasing tickets directly through our channels, or on our app, would result in fewer individual documents.' Watch the shocking moment cow puts Irish Rail services to a HALT during morning rush 1
