The first major shopping event of the year has arrived! Yes, we know: Presidents' Day is officially tomorrow, but here's a secret: When it comes to scoring the cream of the crop deals during a holiday weekend, the sales before the event are often just as good. Our team of discount experts has been furiously tracking prices and comparing discounts, and we're already seeing all-time lows galore and savings of up to 70%. The chance of sellouts on the hottest stuff is less if you pull an early bird and scoop up that worm now.
Apple AirPods 4 for $119 (was $129): Lowest price ever
Dyson V7 Advanced for $250 (was $400): Rare sale
Eddie Bauer Reversible Blanket, $14 (was $40): Lowest price ever

Let's start with the big-ticket items — the bread and butter of Presidents' Day. Take mattresses: Historically this is one of the best times to buy them, and true to form, the prices are stellar. Case in point: This award-winning Cocoon by Sealy queen-size memory foam option is down to $699 — that's 35% off! Experts say to replace your mattress every six to eight years, so it might be time for an upgrade. We're also seeing better-than-Black-Friday prices on gadgets and gizmos, like this beast of a Dyson stick vac for $150 off.
There's a whole lot more where those came from and you can rest assured that these markdowns have been vetted and approved by our trusty team of professional deal hunters. We've been busy comparing price histories across retailers to ensure we're only sharing discounts worth your time and hard-earned money — and we'll be updating this list throughout the weekend, so check back often. With that, we present to you, the best Presidents' Day deals you can (and should) shop as we speak.

But Presidents' Day is more than just a nice long weekend to help you push through the final stretches of winter — it's also one of the best times to score big savings before summer. In less than a month, the sun will be setting after 7 p.m., warmer days will be on the way and you'll be glad you grabbed that smartwatch or pair of AirPods while they were on sale.
Apple iPad 10th Gen ($279, originally $349): This iPad is one of the best tablets you can buy, period. While we've seen this model for slightly cheaper, this is still a steal for the quality and performance you get — especially with features like the A14 Bionic chip, 10-hour battery life and that gorgeous Retina display.
Apple AirPods ($119, originally $129): Offering premium sound, seamless connectivity and a comfortable, all-day fit, these fan-favorite buds are perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their audio game without breaking the bank.

Packed with features such as a brighter display than previous models, advanced health tracking (including ECG and sleep monitoring) and seamless integration with your Apple devices, it's perfect for anyone looking to stay connected and monitor their fitness goals.
Samsung The Frame 65-Inch Class QLED 4K TV ($1,249, originally $1,997): This TV isn't just for binge-watching; it lets you show off your artistic side by displaying everything from classic works of art to the photos you took on vacation. Yes, it's a splurge, but with a gorgeous matte display and at $700 off, it's a whole lot easier to justify.
Reolink Altas PT Ultra ($150, originally $230): This home security camera continuously records in stunning 4K for up to 96 hours on a single charge, or for up to 500 days in motion-detection mode. You get excellent night vision too. Another bonus: No pesky subscription fee.
Hisense 55-Inch QLED 4K CanvasTV ($698, originally $1,000): This QLED TV delivers eye-popping clarity and vivid colors, offering lifelike, immersive visuals for movies, sports and other high-quality content and when turned off, it transforms into a work of art. At this price, you're getting a premium viewing experience that's hard to beat.
There are two types of people in this world: those who love to cook, and those who have the local takeout pizza place on speed dial. No shame in falling into either camp, but we'd bet those in the latter group might enjoy preparing food more if they owned the right tools. We're talking cookware that doesn't stick, knives that are actually sharp and maybe even an air fryer to keep from having to wait for the oven to preheat. Well, all of those things — and more — happen to be on sale, so go ahead and flex those culinary muscles without overexerting your wallet.
Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set ($160, originally $440): This No. 1 bestselling collection has every type of blade a home cook could need, so if the ones in your drawer can barely pierce through a tomato anymore, you'll want to add this to your cart while it's down to an all-time low.
HexClad 6-Piece Hybrid Cookware Set ($330, originally $532): Gordon Ramsay approves of this brand, and you know how particular the celebrity chef is. The pans' hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." With this starter set, you'll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch Hybrid pans, plus lids for each — and for nearly 40% off.
Ninja Creami ($169, originally $199): Keep the ice cream party going all year long with this top-rated appliance, which makes churning out customizable frozen treats a breeze. It's on sale for less at Walmart than it is at Amazon ... (it's also Yahoo editor-approved — check out our review for more).
Carote 5-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set with Detachable Handle ($40, originally $50): You'll be much more inspired to get in the kitchen if you've got some spiffy new cookware. This attractive, compact set is pretty genius in that it comes with a detachable handle that fits on each pot and pan so you can neatly stack everything to save space in your cabinet. The slick nonstick material makes cleanup a cinch, and at just $40 for two frying pans, a saucepan, silicone lid and handle? No-brainer.
Keurig K-Express Essentials ($35, originally $59): Rise and grind! Just kidding — with this Keurig, making coffee is as simple as filling the tank with water, popping in a K-Cup of your choice and pressing a button. Let's face it, mornings can be hectic, and the last thing you need as you're rushing around is an involved java-making process. This speedy brewer takes all the work out, and it's down to an insane $35 (40% off).
Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 8-Quart ($300, originally $475): If there's one thing Le Creuset is know for, it's Dutch ovens. Equally as stunning as it is functional, this roomy pot holds enough food to feed a crowd and can go in the oven at temperatures up to 500° F. Use it to cook those cozy comfort dishes like stew, braised meat, mashed potatoes ... you can even bake bread in it. It's also ideal for deep-frying and roasting a chicken. At $175 off, it's as low as we're seeing it for anywhere online — and if you order by February 28, you'll get a free 2-piece baking dish set with code BAKINGSET.
Vitamix Explorian 2.0 Blender ($280, originally $379): You'll feel like you have your own personal smoothie shop with this best-in-class appliance. Boasting a 2-horsepower motor, it'll effortlessly blitz up ice and frozen fruit, though you could also use it for whizzing up sauces or even grinding up meat. From soup to nuts (as in, homemade nut butters), this workhorse will level up your meal prep like no other — and this is the best price we're seeing. If it's your first QVC order, you'll get an extra $10 off with code WELCOME10 — and just for today, everyone can get $15 off orders of $75 or more with code LOVE15.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer ($170, originally $220): Air fryers are nothing new, but this one has two drawers for cooking multiple things simultaneously, saving you lots of time. Another nifty feature? The ClearCook windows, which, along with an interior oven light, allow you to keep an eye on your grub. In fact, this was one of the traits we called out in our roundup of the best air fryers: "All of its functions — from air frying to roasting — worked and worked well. We also appreciated the clear basket panels for watching our food come along." At over 30% off, this markdown brings the price to about as low as it's been since the holidays.
Whether the cold has done a number on your skin or you're tired of spending a fortune on in-office teeth whitening treatments, you're in luck: There's no shortage of Presidents' Day deals on all your beauty must-haves. For starters, this teeth whitening pen is designed for sensitive chompers, and it's over half off. Dreaming of a golden glow but don't have the budget for a beach vacation? Try this popular self-tanning set, down to $39.
Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover ($9, originally $15): We're still a ways away from sandal weather, but winter is the perfect time to get those feet ready for primetime. This No. 1 bestselling spray works quickly to remove calluses and dry skin patches while providing essential hydration for smoother, softer feet. Just soak your feet in warm water, dry 'em off and apply this product. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then rinse it off and remove any leftover bumpy bits with a rasp or pumice stone. We've yet to see it dip lower than this, so stock up!
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream ($14, originally $20): This top-selling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
MySmile Teeth Whitening Pen ($17, originally $40): The pen is mightier than the strip, especially if the latter contains chemicals that may hurt your gums. Don't forget to apply the on-page coupon for the full discount.
Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit ($30, originally $50): Reviewers can attest that this kit delivers on its pro-level, smile-brightening claims. It promises to remove up to 15 years' worth of stains from your chompers. Plus, it's designed with sensitive smiles in mind.
Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Water Duo ($39, originally $49): Miss your summer tan? This duo offers a sneaky solution. Just spritz the tanning water on after applying moisturizer, and watch your skin turn that natural, sun-kissed, just-got-back-from-Mallorca glow. Even better? If you use code WELCOME10, you can nab an extra $10 off your order.
Kiehl's 7-in-1 Super Smoothers Set ($52, originally $99): If parched, frigid winter air wreaks havoc on your skin, it's time to step up your moisturizer game with this TLC-giving duo. Kiehl's beloved formula moisturizes for smoother, firmer-feeling skin while helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles — use around the eyes and all over your face and neck.
For many of us, one of the worst things about coming home after a vacation is remembering how un-hotel-like your bed is. But it doesn't have to be that way — and you don't have to spend big bucks to upgrade your sleep situation. Brands like Tempur-Pedic, Nectar, Purple and Oprah's beloved Cozy Earth are currently marked down so you can create the five-star bed of your dreams. From supportive mattresses and toppers to luxurious sheets, you won't want to snooze on these sales.
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper, Queen ($198, originally $419): Tired of waking up with aches and pains? A topper is a fabulous option when you're not quite ready to part ways with your less-than-cloudlike mattress, or simply don't want to shell out tons of money for a new one. There's a lot to love about this model, from its lofty 3-inch height to its machine-washable cover. But what really sets it apart is the fact that it's constructed from Tempur-Pedic's signature memory foam. This adaptive material was designed to conform to your body's contours for custom comfort while minimizing motion transfer for a more restful experience. It's also a stunning 55% off!
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set, Queen ($265, originally $331): This ethereally soft, breathable set is one of Oprah's favorite things, so you know it's good — and Yahoo editors adore it too (check out our review for more). Plus, save up to 25% sitewide.
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Pillowcases, Standard, 2-Pack ($28, originally $59): Not only will these silky-smooth sleeves elevate the look of your bed, but they'll also feel divine against your skin. Save 40% on this gorgeous pair and more from the dreamy linen brand.
Purple Mattress, Queen ($1,299, originally $1,499): This bestseller features the brand's patented GelFlex Grid, which adapts to support your movements while you sleep — and it's currently $200 off.
Bear Original Mattress, Queen ($649, originally $998): If you're looking for a marriage of affordability and excellence, Bear is a brand you'll want to check out. Apply code PD4TY at checkout for up to 40% off mattresses (plus free accessories!).
Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress, Queen ($649, originally $1,664): Here's another option that's on the more budget-friendly side, though with over 40,000 perfect ratings, you wouldn't know it. It's 60% off!
Alwyn Home Sleep Bathild 3 Mattress, Queen ($110, originally $250): Snagging a queen-size mattress for under $200 might sound too good to be true, but it's possible over at Wayfair. This 56%-off deal scores you a medium-firm model that adapts to your body's contours and keeps things cool and comfy for custom support. And that pillow layer is like having a plush mattress topper built right in!
The key to making cleaning feel like less of a chore is having the right gear — and if the crumbs on your floor keep accumulating because the thought of schlepping a heavy vacuum around is too much to bear, we've got you. Want to upgrade to a lightweight stick vac? We found options from brands like Shark and, yes, even Dyson on sale. Of course, you could also just let a robovac do the work; there's a Roomba that's down to a record-low price. No matter which type you prefer, you'll want to zap it up while you can save big.
Inse Cordless Stick Vacuum ($85, originally $270): We think it's pretty "Inse"-ane that such a sleek-looking vac could cost so little, but this bestseller proves you don't have to break the bank to upgrade your cleaning appliance. It runs for up to 45 minutes and weighs just over 8 pounds, making it a breeze to bring from room to room.
Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum ($466, originally $650): Of course, if it's a Dyson stick vac you want, a Dyson stick vac you can get — and for a not-so-shabby $184 discount at Walmart. This is the brand's most lightweight model (just 5.2 pounds!), but it can run for up to an hour per charge. It ranked high on our list of the best Dyson cordless stick vacuums.
Dyson V7 Advanced Cordless Vacuum ($250, originally $400): This model's just slightly heavier but costs much less at under $300. The detangling Motorbar gets into thick carpet fibers to suck up deeply embedded dust and hair, and it runs for up to 40 minutes.
iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum ($119, originally $250): Rather not push a vacuum around at all? Not only will this wildly popular robovac zap up dirt and dust while you relax on the couch, it'll return to its base when it's finished, too. This is the lowest price we've ever seen it on sale for.
Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner ($88, originally $124): Attention, pet parents: Before you call your local carpet cleaning service, you'll want to check out this under-$100 Walmart bestseller, which has powerful suction to help eliminate stubborn stains (and their accompanying odors). We've often seen it on sale for $98, so grab it while it's $10 less.
DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Wet-Dry Vacuum ($99, originally $159): Portable? Check. Cordless? Check. Powerful? Check. This small yet mighty handheld meets all of our requirements and then some, thanks to its versatility (as in, sucking up both wet and dry messes), compact size (just 8 pounds) and 3-year warranty. This is as low as it's been in about a year.
Whether you're glad Punxsutawney Phil declared an extra six weeks of winter or you're counting down the days 'til spring, there are plenty of stylish savings to take advantage of this week. Why so many markdowns? Retailers are trying to clear their e-racks before the temps start rising for good, which translates to big savings on everything from cold weather essentials to those transitional wardrobe saviors. Here are some steals we have our eye on:
Gloria Vanderbilt Classic High Rise Amanda Tapered Jeans ($16, originally $48): If you're looking for denim that's designed to fit women of all shapes and sizes, the No. 1 bestselling Amanda jeans definitely fit the bill (pun intended). They're a classic high-rise pair that sits at your natural waist and will go with just about anything.
Colorfulkoala Women's Dreamlux Leggings ($26, originally $34): Not only do these boast thousands of 5-star reviews, senior deals writer Britt penned her own love letter to her pair: "If you're looking for leggings that are comparable to Lululemon, Colorfulkoala Dreamlux leggings are an affordable alternative (though they're supremely comfortable in their own right). You can stock up on several colors for less than half the price of many high-end brands, which I'd very much advise doing."
Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket ($119, originally $239): This might be less puffy than your other heavy-duty winter jacket, but it'll still keep you plenty warm — minus the Michelin man cosplay. Sizes are going quickly, so if you see one you like, strike fast.
State Cashmere Women's Essential Crewneck Sweater ($60, originally $120): If you're a fan of navy or pale gray, you can grab this 100% cashmere sweater for 50% off its typical price. Cashmere is warmer and lighter weight than wool, and softer too — no itch factor! Snap up this insane deal in certain sizes of the two colors on mega sale before Amazon realizes it made a mistake and raises the price.
Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes ($116, originally $165): These sock-like kicks have a super thick insole and weigh less than 9 ounces, making them a great option for anyone whose feet need ultra-plush cushioning. This model is one of Hoka's most popular, so stock is dwindling fast.
Lands' End FeatherFree Insulated Jacket ($44, originally $120): Even though we're already halfway through February, this lightweight coat would be a great layering piece during those transitional months, and you can't argue with that nearly 65% discount. Made from recycled bottles, it's an eco-friendly, water-resistant option that features stylish diamond quilting and insulation for extra warmth. Enter code CHERISH at checkout for the full markdown.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Rib Crewneck Lounge Top ($69, originally $99): If you've ever wanted to wear one of this brand's iconic throw blankets, this top is the next best thing. The hug-like crewneck is made for cozy nights in, but you'd be tempted to wear it out and about, too (and you'd be missing out if you don't).
Kate Spade Outlet On Purpose Large Swingpack Crossbody ($99, originally $329): You can't go wrong with a classic crossbody, and this one's just the right size: roomy enough to hold all of your on-the-go essentials without feeling too bulky. It's a timeless piece that'll go with just about anything you wear, and at 70% off? We're tempted to order one in every color.
Columbia Women's Benton Springs Full Zip ($29, originally $46): Made of soft maximum-thermal-retention (MTR) filament fleece, the zip-up works to keep you toasty even on the coolest days, even though it's also thin enough to serve as the perfect under-layer with a parka or puffer when the temps dip below zero.
Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker ($30, down from $45): Bring the party just about anywhere, thanks to this top-selling travel speaker, which was purchased over 10,000 times in the past month alone. This is within a few bucks of its lowest price yet.
Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill ($170, down from $280): It typically only dips lower than it is now (nearly 40% off) during events like Prime Day and Black Friday.
Khelfer Electric Spin Scrubber ($32, down from $70): There's no need to spend an hour on your knees furiously scrubbing away at your shower when you have one of these on hand. It's garnered thousands of great reviews and features two adjustable speeds to cut through bathtub grime, soap scum and grout stains with little to no elbow grease on your part.
Shark 2-in-1 Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum ($100, down from $150): Psst: I own (and love) this vac, and it's on sale for as low as it's ever been.
Apple Watch Series 10 ($329, down from $399): If you've been waiting to buy an Apple Watch until it goes on sale, well, wait no more. You're getting the latest version, which features a larger display and a more lightweight design for comfortable wear. Now you'll be able to track your steps and sleep, take a call, listen to music and more — all from your wrist.
Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover ($9, down from $15): We've yet to see it dip lower than this, so stock up!
Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects, 22 Treatments ($30, down from $46): This sale drops the price to within a few bucks of what it was during Black Friday. Now that's something to say "cheese!" about.
Apple iPad (10th Generation) ($279, down from $349): Rare sale alert: This is the best price we've seen for this model in months. As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Apple AirTags, 4-Pack ($70, down from $99): The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $18 (they typically retail for about $25 to $30 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members!
RedTiger 4K Dash Cam ($100, down from $199): Be sure to apply the on-page coupon to get it for 50% off — as low as it's ever been.
CosRx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream ($24, down from $39): Don't move at a snail's pace — snag this slimy yet satisfying stuff while it's on major markdown (over 75% off).
Arolina Wide-Leg Pants ($17, down from $30): Guess who's a fan of these lounge-worthy yet chic stretchy pants? Cher! That's right — the superstar posted about them on social media, saying, "I love these."
Comhoma Office Chair ($56, down from $70): While the reduced price (an all-time low!) of this chair alone warrants a standing (sitting?) ovation, you'll be happy to know a lot of thought went into its design. Its curved shape is meant to conform to your back, while the base of the seat offers lumbar support to help take some pressure off. Hey, your job might cause a lot of stress, but your bum's resting place shouldn't!
Apple AirTags, 4-Pack ($70, down from $99): The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $18 (they typically retail for about $25 to $30 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members!
Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set ($183, down from $440): This collection is majorly marked down from its list price of $440, though I've never actually seen it shoot that high. Still, this deal brings it down to a record low.
iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum ($130, down from $250): A top-selling Roomba that's nearly 50% off — its all-time lowest price? I'll take two! This gizmo will zap up all of that dust and debris on your floor while you relax on the sofa — nothing wrong with that. It runs for up to 120 minutes before heading back to its charging dock, and you can even schedule cleanings via the app.
Apple AirPods 4 ($100, down from $129): At just $100, this pair is down to the best price I've seen. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver.
Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station ($459, down from $799): This power station is an absolute steal right now at $340 off. With a massive 1,070 watt-hour capacity and multiple ports, it's perfect for powering everything from your camping gear to essential appliances during a power outage.
Tuffenough Solar Outdoor Lights, 2-Pack ($30, down from $47): Let there be light — in your yard! These top-sellers are motion sensored to illuminate your driveway, patio or any outdoor space at night, and because they get their juice from the sun during the day, you won't have to worry about batteries or charging. They also come with a remote and have three brightness modes — plus, they've yet to dip lower than they are now.
Marycele Candle Warmer Lamp ($20, down from $46): Got kids and/or pets? This fire-free find gently melts candles via the heat from its bulb, meaning no ashy messes to clean up and zero flames. All you do is place your candle on the base beneath the bulb, turn on the light and ... that's it. As the candle warms up from the heat of the lamp, it'll release its scent — without any burnt undertones.

Amazon renews UEFA Women's Football partnership until 2030

Ahead of the UEFA Women's Euro final this weekend, Amazon has announced an extension of the multi-year partnership with UEFA Women's Football until 2030. The new deal covers the UEFA Women's Champions League, UEFA Women's Euro 2029, UEFA Women's Nations League and UEFA Women's Youth tournaments (U19 and U17). It also establishes Amazon as each competition's official retail sponsor. Amazon levels up its women's football shop As part of Amazon's role as the official retail sponsor, the online marketplace refreshed its Women's Football Shop ahead of the Euro 2025 in Switzerland. The new and evolved shop features thousands of products to help elevate fans' experiences with fast delivery for Prime members on eligible products. The refresh included a ticket giveaway to give fans the opportunity to get closer to the action. The shop will continue to grow, supporting all aspects of the game both on and off the pitch beyond the tournament this summer. Laura Downey, EU Head of Amazon Brand said: 'Fans and players have been the true driving force behind women's football's incredible growth, their passion and dedication have transformed this sport from grassroots up shown by another record breaking tournament in Switzerland. We're grateful to play a role in supporting this remarkable community — whether that's helping a young player find their first pair of boots, or enabling fans to show their team colours — as they continue to write the next exciting chapter of women's football.' France's Pauline Peyraud-Magnin saves a penalty kick from Germany's Sjoeke Nuesken during the UEFA Women's Euro 2025. (Photo by Molly Darlington – UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images) A team-up to grow women's football In order to further drive momentum, Amazon and UEFA are collaborating on key initiatives to help grow the sport: research with the UEFA Innovation Programme and Switzerland's School of Engineering and Management Vaud to address coaching gender disparities (currently only 4.5 percent of European coaches are women) and 'Off-Mute' — an AWS-powered platform where women and girls can share football experiences, identify barriers and suggest improvements to increase accessibility. Guy-Laurent Epstien, UEFA Executive Director of Marketing and UC3 Co-Managing Director, says: 'We are delighted to extend our partnership with Amazon through 2030, building on the momentum we've created together for women's football across Europe. 'Their support in growing women's football — on and off the pitch — from its dedicated Women's Football Shop to the support of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Innovation Programme, aligns perfectly with UEFA's vision for the future of the sport. This renewal represnts more than a partnership – it's a shared belief in the power of women's football and its unlimited potential for growth.'

I tested Shark's FlexBreeze HydroGo misting fan in a heatwave — and now I can't live without it

The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is kicking up a storm this summer. It feels almost cruel to write a glowing review while stock is low and everyone wants one, but in case you're wondering, the rumors are true. This is a brilliant fan that manages to deliver powerful cooling with a small frame. And the misting function? Oh boy, it has me feeling fresh and gently spritzed, not drenched, like I did with its larger counterpart the FlexBreeze Pro. Wondering if it's right for you? Keep reading for my full, honest review. Price $299 / £249 Size 8.65 in L x 8.35 in W x 11.47 in H Colors Dark Gray, Dove, Glacier, Quartz, Lilac, Honeydew Battery UN3481 – Lithium Ion Battery Weight 5 lbs Airflow range 70ft Power 1.6 amps Settings 5 speed settings, 2 natural breeze settings, constant misting, intermittent misting The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo arrives with some charge, which I appreciated because it arrived on a sweltering hot day. Its charger is pretty bulky, but you can also buy a car charging cord on the Shark website. For $149 / £119, this isn't a cheap option. And there are plenty of cheap fans on the likes of Amazon, so it's not a purchase to make lightly. Luckily, it's been on sale for around $100 / £100 for the past few weeks. I tested although the Dark Gray colorway, but I'd have loved to try the Honeydew or Lilac shades. I love that Shark sells this fan in a range of bright hues, but it's sold out in a lot of the brand's more fun colors right now. Now reduced to just $99 in the Grey shade, the FlexBreeze HydroGo Misting Fan is low in stock at Amazon and direct at Ninja, so this is a deal worth picking up fast. The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo weighs 5lbs, and while it's not the most compact, I do think it's pretty portable. If you're packing the car for a picnic, there's no reason not to throw it in the trunk. But if you're heading on a hike, it might be a bit too large for your rucksack! There are some removable stickers on the fan which walk you through the settings. I left these on while I figured the fan out, but its controls are pretty straightforward. There's a power button, a misting button (which you also use to toggle between the constant and intermittent setting) and a fan speed button, which you press to increase the fan speed incrementally from one to five, and then between the two natural breeze settings. The natural breeze mode undulates to mimic a more authentic experience, which is a nice change from those fans that pelt you with a rush of air straight to the face, which can dry out your eyes and make your throat feel funny. You can also fill up the water tank on the back of the machine with a flap that lifts and can be positioned beneath a faucet. The water capacity is pretty small. I found that it ran out after around an 45 minutes of constant misting. As for the battery life? I really can't complain in that department. I used this fan on setting 1 for an entire work day, and by the time I was done, the battery level indicator had only changed from orange to yellow, indicating a battery life of around 60%. So that's 9+ hours of contant use on a single charge, and it could probably deliver at least another 9. My partner's parents visited when I was testing this fan, and they used it overnight to help cool our sweltering guest room. They had it on high speed, and reported that it only ran out at around 5am, meaning it gave them 6 hours of contant high-speed cooling. Another impressive feature is how quiet this fan is. I measured the noise produced at a number of levels using the SoundMeter app on my phone. They read: Setting Noise Level (dB) Fan level 1 52 Fan level 2 62 Fan level 3 66 Fan level 4 77 Fan level 5 89 So the noise level ramps up significantly when you need some serious cooling, but the sound quality is not annoying in the slightest. It's a low whirring without any whiny qualities. The misting feature barely makes a sound. It didn't register on my SoundMeter app whatsoever. If I could describe it, I'd say it's like a higher-pitched fizzing noise. After my run-in with drenching my in-laws with the Shark FlexBreeze Pro, I had to choose a less risky test subject with the HydroGo: Me. And fortunately, I had a much nicer experience. As you can see, the mist with this fan is super fine. It's got a decent projection, too. I could leave it on my coffee table while sitting on the couch and still get a light spritzing. It doesn't leave me feeling wet, and my clothes didn't get damp either. I felt pretty confident using it indoors, but I wouldn't leave it on top of my vintage furniture just in case it caused any water damage. Obviously, there's no oscillation with this fan, but its head does lift and lower manually to ensure you're getting the right angle. Oscillation with a portable tabletop fan would be a lot to ask, but seeing as I find this fan hard to fault, it is one feature that I think could level it up. For now, you'll need to get one for you and one for a friend, because you can't share. Is it worth the hype? Yes. Is it worth the price. Also yes. You can find tabletop fans online for a lot less, but I don't know if you'll find one that offers the versatility, battery power, low-noise, and divine misting capabilities of the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo. I do think that an oscillation feature would take this fan to another level, and it wouldn've been nice if the water tank had a little more capacity, but refilling is super easy if you bring a water bottle to the picnic. So if you've been weighing up your purchase, take it from me: the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is the sidekick you need to survive the summer.

What are the UK's new age verification laws?

As of July 25, 2025, if you're attempting to access adult content online in the UK, you'll need to verify your age to do so. This is due to new child online safety laws which are attempting to prevent minors from accessing inappropriate content online. However, many people within the UK are turning to some of the best VPNs in order to circumvent these laws by spoofing their location to another country. This is due to questions regarding the safety of the new laws, with worries about the integrity of their personal data called into question. Protect your personal data with the #1 UK VPN: NordVPNBased on our testing, NordVPN is the best VPN for the UK. This is down to its rock-solid security and privacy, excellent speeds and ability to unblock just about every site you're after. Plus, you can get it up to 76% off right now, with prices starting from £2.31 per month for a two-year subscription. Plus, you can even get an Amazon gift card worth up to £50 if you sign up to NordVPN's Plus or Complete memberships. This new law is part of the Online Safety Act which aims to prevent minors from accessing content that may be harmful to them. This includes sites that host adult content, including social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and Bluesky. All these sites are now required by law to block minors from accessing inappropriate content by introducing "robust" age verification techniques. Under the Online Safety Act, companies that fail to introduce these measures may be fined 10 percent of their qualifying worldwide revenue or up to £18 million ($24 million), whichever is greater. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In extreme cases, if the courts allow, Ofcom will also be able to prevent sites from generating money or being accessed from the UK by requiring internet service providers, payment providers and advertisers stop working with them. The age verification techniques used will very from site to site. However, they will need to be "technically accurate, robust, reliable and fair" in order to fit the requirements set out in the Online Safety Act. For example, X has stated that it will use a selfie-based age verification system that uses its own AI model in order to verify users' ages. On the other hand, Reddit (which introduced age verification to its UK site on the 14 July ahead of the law being introduced) has used external company Persona to verify users' ages either age estimation via selfie or birth date verification via a picture of their government ID. Other verification techniques include providing your credit card details and having your age verified by a payment processor, or providing your email address and having it checked against other online services (e.g. banking providers) to estimate your age. No matter which age verification techniques a site uses, it has still sparked concerns from users about their data being stored or saved without their permission, as well as the potential ramifications of a data breach or leak. Other concerns also include the fact that users accessing certain types of content simply do not want the sites to know anything about them. The new age verification laws in the UK have had many searching for the best UK VPNs to avoid them due to concerns regarding their personal data and how it will be used to verify their age. This is because VPNs can be used to get around location-specific content blocks by virtually relocation you to a different country. A VPN does this by routing your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel between your device and a VPN server. This masks your IP address and your location as well as keeping your internet traffic safe from prying eyes. We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
