The bladeless design not only ensures a smooth airflow but also makes it a safe choice for households with children or pets, unlike traditional bladed fans that could pose a risk.
It also features a night mode function, emitting 'whisper-quiet' air to keep you cool without disturbing your slumber, reports the Daily Record. According to Dyson, the fan offers a range of oscillation angles and manual tilt, delivering a steady 370 litres of air per second without any 'choppy air'.
Its minimalist design also makes cleaning a breeze – simply wipe the loop amplifier with a cloth, no need to wrestle with grilles or dusty blades. Dyson's Cool CF1 desk fa n sits at the pricier end of the market, which might deter some potential buyers
However, there are more budget-friendly alternatives out there. For instance, the Russell Hobbs Bladeless Tower desk fan is available at a more wallet-friendly £29.99.

Product Description

Elsewhere, Pro Breeze is a big name when it comes to fans. Its Desktop Mini Tower Fan is 13-inches and costs £28.04 at Amazon (slashed from £34.99). It has three speed settings, a swing feature for max coverage, and a near-silent wind mode.
As Dyson's Cool CF1 desk fan is a new release there are no reviews available for the product. However, potential shoppers can find many general reviews of Dyson's customer service on Trustpilot.
One person said: "Had reason to speak to Dyson customer support today as problem with cordless vacuum, spoke to very helpful chap called Arris, who resolved my issue in a matter of minutes and arranged for replacement part under warranty."
They continued: Working in customer service myself, we can all take a leaf out of this guy's book. Top class service, no fuss, just sorted the problem."
A second reviewer added: "I love my Dyson, but the customer service was disappointing. My next-day delivery never arrived, and I wasn't informed or apologised to. A quick glance at reviews shows this seems to be a common issue."
A third stated: "Fantastic products and the best customer service I've ever experienced. Worth every penny."

Graeme Souness demands councillors excuse themselves from vote in £350m deal row
SUNDAY MAIL EXCLUSIVE: Football legend Souness claims some North Lanarkshire councillors may have breached impartiality rules. Scotland football legend Graeme Souness has called for councillors to excuse themselves from voting on a £350million deal that could bring thousands of jobs to North Lanarkshire. Souness's Orchard Brae firm is proposing a development near Coatbridge which is due to be voted on this month, on June 12. The development would be built on green belt land between Calderbank and Carnbroe. Woodhall, Faskine and Palacecraig Conservation Group, which opposes the plans, has held several public meetings about the development. Souness claims he has 'evidence' attending councillors made their views clear on how they would vote on the application at these meetings – breaking impartiality rules. One attendee, Labour councillor Michael McBride, has previously stated he would 'oppose development on the green belt' on campaign material and was involved with the Woodhall campaign group. Souness said: "I believe there are more than just Michael McBride who have crossed that line and should exclude themselves. [McBride] has clearly excluded himself from my understanding of the rules. "I have evidence he is not alone in going to objectors' meetings and declaring a stance on it, which should automatically exclude them from taking part in a vote on this application."

However, a spokeswoman for the Woodhall, Faskine and Palacecraig group said: 'At all meetings it has been clearly stated by the group, councillors are there to observe only and not to provide comment. 'Ultimately, the council's legal services will decide who is eligible to vote on this decision which will greatly affect the local communities surrounding this behemoth of an application site.' We revealed last week that Amazon and delivery firm Evri are in talks to operate from the site, which could create up to 2000 jobs following the closure of the Amazon depot in Gourock in 2023. Councillor McBride was contacted for comment.

People over certain age urged to claim £303 state pension boost
People over certain age urged to claim £303 state pension boost HMRC will add National Insurance credits to your State Pension if you look after a child related to you under the age of 12 - this can be worth a few thousand pounds over a typical 20-year retirement Elderly individuals who provide care for children under 12 during term-time or school holidays could potentially increase their State Pension payments by over £6,000 across a typical 20-year retirement period. This is possible through claiming a National Insurance benefit from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). A single additional National Insurance credit can add approximately £303 per year to the full New State Pension. This State Pension enhancement is known as Specified Adult Childcare. It operates by transferring the National Insurance credit linked to Child Benefit from the recipient of the Child Benefit to a family member who is caring for a related child under 12, or under 17 if the child has a disability. You will be granted a Class 3 National Insurance credit for each week or part of a week you cared for the child. However, only one credit is available per Child Benefit claim, regardless of the number of children included in the claim. For instance, if two grandparents cared for their daughter's two children, only one credit is available for transfer. The recipient of the Child Benefit must decide who receives the credit, reports the Daily Record. However, if the grandparents also have a son and they care for both their daughter's and son's children, there are likely two Child Benefit recipients. Therefore, two credits would be available for transfer. If no one has claimed Child Benefit for the child, there is no attached National Insurance credit to transfer and credits cannot be awarded. The boost is primarily designed for those caring for children whose parents are employed, meaning they don't require the National Insurance credits from Child Benefit for their own State Pension. It's worth noting that retrospective claims for Specified Adult Childcare can be made dating back to 6 April 2011. Claims for providing remote care during the Covid-19 pandemic According to guidance, your usual care arrangements may have been disrupted by Covid-19 since March 2020. This implies that if you provided care remotely via phone, text message or video call during the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, you might be eligible to fill any gaps in your National Insurance record by claiming Specified Adult Childcare. This applies to the tax years 2019 to 2020 and 2020 to 2021. The full New State Pension amounts to £230.25 per week, equivalent to £11,973 annually. However, to receive this maximum amount, approximately 35 years' worth of National Insurance contributions are required. A minimum of 10 years is needed to receive any payment at all. Some individuals may have been 'contracted out' and will need more than 35 years. Who is eligible to apply for Specified Adult Childcare credits? You can apply provided: you are an eligible family member who provided care for a child under 12 you were over 16 and under State Pension age when you provided care for the child you are ordinarily resident in the UK but not the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man the child's parent (or main carer) has claimed Child Benefit but does not need the credits themselves The child's parent (or primary carer) consents to your application by counter-signing the form to confirm that you: provided care for their child for the period stated can have the credits for the period stated Who qualifies as an eligible family member You are classed as an eligible family member if you are the: mother or father who does not live with the child grandparent, great-grandparent or great-great-grandparent brother or sister - including a half-brother or half-sister, step-brother or step-sister, an adopted brother or an adopted sister, aunt or uncle You are also classed as an eligible family member if you are either the: current or previous husband, wife, partner or civil partner of anyone in the list above son or daughter of the current or previous husband, wife, partner or civil partner of anyone in the list above Who should refrain from applying You should not apply for credits if for the same period you: already have a qualifying year of National Insurance - usually because you work or receive other National Insurance credits are receiving Child Benefit for any child and already get credits automatically If you are the spouse or partner living with the Child Benefit recipient and want to transfer the credits to yourself, you need to complete form CF411A - more details here. When to submit your application You must wait until October 31 following the end of the tax year for which you want to apply. This means you can now claim for the financial years 2011/12 - 2023/24. This is due to HMRC needing to verify that the parent or primary carer already has a qualifying year for National Insurance purposes. What you require to apply You will need the following to apply: your personal details as the eligible family member that provided care for the child the child's details and the periods you provided care for them the personal details of the child's parent or main carer - the Child Benefit recipient Article continues below The HMRC guidance explains that both you and the Child Benefit recipient must sign a declaration on the application form. It also says that the child's parent or main carer should check their National Insurance record online before you apply, to check that they have credits to transfer. Complete information on how to apply can be found on the website.
