'Quiet and cold' 3-in-1 air conditioner perfect for summer now almost 20% off on Amazon
"Three-speeds, it's quiet and cold, really helped for summer. Recommend it!!! Love it!!!!" Homes in Scotland certainly aren't built for dealing with warm weather, and summer can come with unbearably hot nights if you don't have any aircon in your home. But luckily, a top-rated air conditioner is currently on a generous 18 per cent discount on Amazon. The Midea 5L Air Cooler, 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner usually retails at £109.99, but shoppers can currently grab one for a much more reasonable £89.99. The cooler is perfect for hot summer nights, and with strict noise control, it won't be too loud to sleep with either. Simply adding water to the 5L tank enhances humidity in dry environments, providing a refreshing atmosphere to the room, and with two ice packs included, shoppers can enjoy cool relief during the summer days for up to 12 hours, according to the product's description. Equipped with a large-air wet curtain, this air cooler promises to deliver a maximum airflow of 1600m³/h and a max wind speed of 6m/s. This mobile air conditioner uses innovative Cascade Flow Evaporative Cooling Technology to pass warm air over ice-cold water, providing rapid and comfortable cooling into the room while balancing humidity levels. Users can select from three speeds and two operation modes- normal and natural- to tailor to the user's comfort level. The cooler also has a 75° automatic oscillation feature, which allows for even air distribution throughout the room, ensuring everyone enjoys a refreshing breeze. Its 7-hour timer allows users to set the cooler fan for their preferred duration of time. For those browsing alternative air conditioners, Argos offers the Bush 5K Air Conditioner for a pricier £280, although it's currently reduced from its original price of £350. Argos also offers the more budget-friendly Beldray 6L Portable Air Cooler for £100, which has a slightly larger water tank than Amazon's option. But the discounted air conditioner on Amazon is receiving glowing reviews, with a stellar rating of 4.7 stars out of a possible five. One happy shopper said: "It's easy to set up. My boy likes it so much. Three-speed, it's quiet and cold, really helped for summer. Recommend it!!! Love it!!!!" Another customer said: "Midea is a very famous brand in China. It's great to be able to purchase this brand in the UK. The quality of this product is truly excellent. "It has complete functions, is easy to use, and comes with a remote control for convenient operation at any time. It's much better than ordinary fans. "It's noise-free and can be adjusted to a night sleep mode. It's really worth buying." However, a less satisfied customer was slightly unimpressed at the lack of sturdiness in the product, saying: "Decent enough product but one of the cable clips did break off when I was putting it together." Yet another happy customer said: "A large, effective and stylish looking evaporative cooling fan. It is bigger than I expected, but does a fantastic job of cooling the room down with and without using the evaporative cooling mode. "As the warmer weather has only just started, the fan alone is ample to keep me cool at night." The air conditioner can be purchased here. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Two DWP payments could boost pensioners' incomes by £10,040 a year
Millions of elderly people across the UK could potentially increase their income by over £10,000 annually. A significant number of the 13 million pensioners nationwide may be unaware that they could be eligible for two distinct benefits, collectively amounting to as much as £10,040 throughout the 2025/26 tax year. One of these benefits is not means-tested and is intended to support older people with long-term health conditions, while the other provides extra financial aid to those on a low income. As highlighted by the Daily Record, Pension Credit aims to help those above State Pension age on a low income by boosting their yearly income by an average of £4,300. On the other hand, Attendance Allowance or Pension Age Disability Payment (PADP) can provide additional financial support of up to £441.60 each month - totalling approximately £5,740.80 annually. Both these payments are issued separately from the State Pension, which is currently valued at up to £230.25 per week, or £921 every four-week payment period. The full, New State Pension will be worth £11,973 this year. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) estimates that 760,000 individuals qualify for Pension Credit but are not claiming this income-related benefit. Similarly, it's estimated that more than one million pensioners are eligible for Attendance Allowance, which is not affected by income or savings, is tax-free and is not considered as income when applying for Pension Credit. Pensioners in Scotland are now eligible to apply for the Pension Age Disability Payment, which is set to replace the Attendance Allowance in the region. Comprehensive information can be found on here. Pension Credit Currently, Pension Credit is aiding 1.4 million people. It boosts weekly income to a guaranteed minimum of £227.10 for single pensioners or £346.60 for couples. On average, it equates to £4,300 this year. If you're a single person on the New State Pension with a total weekly income below £227.10, or part of a couple with a combined weekly income less than £346.60, you could qualify for Pension Credit. Even a modest award of £1 per week can unlock further financial support, such as the Winter Fuel Payment for 2025/26, or the Pension Age Winter Heating Payment in Scotland. Elderly individuals, or their friends and family, can quickly check eligibility and get an estimate of potential benefits using the online Pension Credit calculator available on here. Alternatively, pensioners can directly ring the Pension Credit helpline to make a claim on 0800 99 1234 - lines are open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Attendance Allowance At present, Attendance Allowance supports nearly 1.7 million elderly individuals across Great Britain, with the additional daily living expenses linked to having a physical or mental health condition, disability or long-term illness. It's important to note that you can apply for this benefit even if you don't have a carer. Eligible individuals over the State Pension age receive either £73.90 (lower rate) or £110.40 (higher rate) per week through Attendance Allowance. As this benefit is usually paid every four weeks, this amounts to either £295.60 or £441.60 per payment cycle - a total of roughly £5,740.80 throughout the 2025/26 financial year. If you have a disability or illness and need help or supervision during the day or at certain times during the night - even if you're not currently receiving such assistance - you should consider applying for Attendance Allowance. This could include: Help with personal care - such as dressing, eating or drinking, getting in and out of bed, bathing or showering, and using the toilet Assistance to ensure your safety You should also consider applying if you struggle with personal tasks, for example, if they take a lot of time, cause discomfort, or require physical support, like leaning on a chair. It's worth noting that Attendance Allowance isn't just for those with a physical disability or illness. You should also contemplate applying if you necessitate help or supervision throughout the day or night and have:
