Dyson's new bladeless desk fan has sleep mode for hot summer nights
Tech giant Dyson has unveiled a new desk fan just in time for the summer heat. The Cool CF1 desk fan, retailing at £249.99, comes with a nifty sleep mode feature, perfect for those who struggle to nod off during balmy nights.
Promising to cool you down in five seconds, Dyson's Cool CF1 desk fan is designed to deliver a quiet breeze even on full blast, ensuring it won't disrupt your workday. 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.
Dyson launches new fan
Product Description
The cooling gadget has three modes for hot summer days, including a breeze function and a powerhouse blast setting. This sleek black fan also has mood lighting and can be charged via USB.
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."

EV fast-charge at major supermarket leaves shopper 'gobsmacked'
The price of the fast charge shocked the motoring influencer As the nation gears up for the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, a motoring influencer has highlighted the cost of using the UK's public charging infrastructure. Speaking about his experience of using a fast charge point at a Tesco supermarket, TikToker @nathan_castleton said: "I've got 11 miles of range on the car. We're gonna fully charge it, hopefully using one of these fast chargers while I go and shop." As appealing as it was to charge while he shopped, Nathan soon realised the cost. Documenting the expensive process, he said: "The problem I've got is how much this is going to cost, because I reckon this is going to cost way more than a tank of fuel, firstly, and… not give me anywhere near the range a tank of fuel would in an internal combustion engine car, especially something like a diesel." It comes after news that anyone buying fuel next week will be given '£15 charge' warning by The AA, reports the Mirror. The physical effort required was another surprise, with him exclaiming: "These are really, really quite heavy, I think for people who maybe don't have super strong hands and arms, these are really hard, just an FYI." In addition to these issues, he also witnessed another issue with EV ownership: "Kind of ironically, next to me there's a guy who ran out of charge, and he's had to have the RAC come and bring him to the charger." This not only highlights how critical accessible charging points are but also how stressful running low on charge can be. When Nathan finished charging his car, the bill appeared, with him saying: "So let's see how much 130 miles of range is going to cost us. So there we go, there's our total — it added 36.25 kilowatt hours of range… for £26.10. "Now just for content, £26 for basically 120-130 miles of real world range, that's expensive, so if you do plan on getting an electric car, you do not want to be using public chargers."

His experience is typical of many UK supermarkets, where fast chargers come with a premium fee — often between 50p and 70p per kilowatt-hour. These costs add up quickly for larger battery EVs, making public fast charging an expensive fallback compared to doing it at home, which is typically around half the price. While supermarkets are expanding EV infrastructure to support growing demand, fast charging, despite providing quick range recovery, can come at a price. So, for many EV drivers, slower and cheaper home charging remains the most economical option. Owners must plan their charging routines carefully to avoid these "expensive" fees.

Don't miss this limited time deal. A decent hair dryer is an essential in the daily life of any beauty fan. For those who don't want to invest the big bucks on a Shark or Dyson, then there's many other affordable alternatives. One brand that often provides "salon quality results" on a budget is BaByliss, with the Platinum Hair Dryer and Diffuser Set a huge hit with Amazon shoppers - and it's currently a steal at half-price. This professional hair tool would usually set shoppers back £65. However, the online delivery firm has currently slashed it to a much more affordable £32.49, but the deal will only be around for a limited time, so we'd advise acting fast. Combining a professional 2300W AC motor and a powerful airflow, this hair dryer is said to offer an "ultra fast" drying time, with some beauty fans saying that it takes "less than 10 minutes." Diamond infused ceramic and super ionic technology work together to eliminate static and frizz, all while providing that sought-after shine, leaving hair sleek, smooth and glossy every time. BaByliss Platinum Diamond Hair Dryer & Diffuser £65 £32.49 Amazon Buy here Product Description The styling tool is completed with three heat and two speed settings, alongside a true cold shot. Meanwhile, the added diffuser is ideal for enhancing natural curly hair types, providing that effortless bounce and volume. Amazon is not the only retailer offering impressive deals, as we have noticed that Boots has slashed the cost of this Enigma Precision Hair Dryer, complete with multiple attachments, from £199.9 to £99.99 - saving £100 overall. Over at Argos, another budget-friendly option that can still provide those salon results from home is this Remington PROluxe Hair Dryer with Diffuser that is priced at £37.49. Back to the BaByliss Hair Dryer, as it has been singled out as an 'Amazon Choice' product with a 4.6 rating based on over 4,000 reviews from shoppers who have said it provides "true salon quality" and "gives Dyson a run for its money." A happy customer said: "Truly salon quality, makes my long hair shine and less frizzy! My hair - 70cm in length - can be easily dried with this amazing hair dryer within 20 mins. The best!" Someone else remarked: "I bought this hair dryer for my wife who says it's 'amazing'. Compared to her older model bought over a decade ago, this was more powerful, instant heat, quieter and makes her hair look and feel silky smooth." Beauty deal of the week Get multiple benefits for the skin by taking advantage of this 53 percent discount on the unique L'Oreal Paris serum. The firm's breakthrough Age Defying Serum Le Duo provides the benefits of two serums in just one pump, being the only bottle on the market to target firmness, radiance and the appearance of wrinkles. Right now, it can be yours for just £17.95 when bought on Amazon. Since a 30ml bottle usually retails £37.99, it offers an incredible £20 saving - but the deal will only be around for a limited time. This dual-function serum has been hailed as "a breakthrough innovation from L'Oréal labs", with the beloved brand suggesting it has been clinically proven to "reverse up to five years of wrinkles." In one chamber, there is a collagen Peptide Booster to rebuild firmness and smooth out wrinkles, while the other boasts powerhouse vitamins B3 and C to reignite radiance and even out skin tone. Said to be suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, this serum has been lauded for its "non greasy" texture that doesn't leave any residue on the skin or cause that dreaded 'pilling' when combined with other skincare products. Boasting a 4.3 rating in total, one review read: "A second satisfied customer said: "This serum is a game-changer! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smoother, and visibly radiant. A luxurious treat that's worth every drop." Don't miss Amazon's 53 percent discount on the Age Defying Serum Le Duo (30ml) that is now £17.95, down from £37.99. Another pleased shopper added: "Very powerful hairdryer and great for bringing out my natural curls without the frizz in under 10 minutes. "The recommended setting is only slightly warm but at least it doesn't cause heat damage. Very pleased and would highly recommend." A few reviews have found the hair dryer to be quite heavy during styling time, with one three-star review reading: "Good product and quality but it's too heavy and every now and then I have to stop to dry my hair as my arm hurts." Someone who compared it to Dyson raved: "The best hairdryer I have purchased. Gives Dyson a run for their money and in comparison it's a tenth of the price. Great control of temperature and power." The BaByliss Platinum Hair Dryer and Diffuser Set is now half-price at £32.4 on Amazon now.
