Amazon's 'impressive' tower fan shoppers love now reduced by a huge 80% in time for heatwave
Amazon's 'impressive' tower fan shoppers love now reduced by a huge 80% in time for heatwave No sweat if another heatwave is on its way, this 80% reduced in price tower fan can help (Image: Amazon / Pureborne) The summer of 2025 will surely be remembered as one with multiple mini heatwaves sweeping across the country and people feeling like they are over-heating and even having difficulty sleeping as the weather reaches higher temperatures. An efficient and effective fan that can be easily controlled, doesn't take up too much space, and can also be easily moved about the home, has been a product search online for many people desperate to cool down With another few days of heatwave on the way Amazon has a limited time deal on their number one best selling tower fan. The Pureborne 36" Smart Tower Fan with remote, app and touch control has been reduced by a huge 80% from £324.99 to £64.99. READ MORE: Garden sofa set price reduced by over 70% from unlikely retailer ideal for coming heatwave YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: Amazon's best selling hedge trimmer 'highly recommended' by buyers as 'easy to use' and 'ideal for the job' The fan has a base diameter of 32cm and a height of 91cm and four speed settings. (Image: Amazon / Pureborne) One buyer raves about the Pureborne 36" Smart Tower Fan, saying: "Impressed with this fan. It looks good and works very well. It has 4 speeds and multiple settings including a sleep setting. The fan is quiet and powerful and I am pleased with it! It is good value for money." According to Amazon the tower fan has been purchased over 900 times worldwide in the past month and offers a buyer a space saving solution with the base diameter of 32cm and a height of 91cm and four speed settings. Alternatives to the Pureborne 36" Smart Tower Fan are the Dimplex DXMBCF Black Tower Fan priced £85.00 from Argos and described as this retailer's best selling tower fan, and the DREO Pilot Max Smart Tower Fan in white available from Currys costing £150.00. A 90 degree oscillation range (Image: Amazon / Pureborne) Back on Amazon the happy customer reviews include one that says: "Extremely pleased with the fan, very quiet plus the bonus of having a sleep timer and an added remote so if used in the bedroom can be turned off without leaving the bed at night, ideal for what we want as it fits in the corner of the bedroom out of the way." The tower fan is smart too - it has normal, natural, sleep and auto modes. The manufacturer states that the natural wind mode ensures the tower fan's speed changes every five seconds to simulate natural, varying breezes. The sleep wind mode makes the fan oscillate and decreases speed every 30 minutes by up to two levels for undisturbed sleep. The display of the tower fan automatically turns off after 30 seconds in sleep mode and after 10 minutes in other modes. Four settings (Image: Amazon / Pureborne) In addition, the Pureborne 36" Smart Tower Fan is equipped with a one to 12 hour pre-set timer for automatic shut-off, saving energy and providing added safety. It can be controlled via remote, touch panel, app & voice control, and the settings can be adjusted from anywhere using the app on a mobile phone. When oscillating, the tower fan covers a 90 degree angle and covers an area of about 7.5 metres square. The fan also automatically changes speed with the room temperature - the cooler the room becomes, the slower the fan. Control via app is an option (Image: Amazon / Pureborne) These added 'smart features' have impressed some buyers, with one commenting: "I love this fan, assembly was quick and hassle free and connecting to the app and Alexa was a breeze! There are bar codes on the side of the fan, all you have to do is scan them with your phone and then take it from there, it is that easy." However, a few customers were less than impressed with the tower fan, with the difference of opinion with the majority of reviewers concerning the app control, the sound of the fan and one buyer maybe hasn't quite grasped the modes that decrease or shut the fan off. Article continues below One buyer says: "It's a good fan but it's very loud. Even on the lowest setting", while another comments: "Pretty loud, fairly weak and randomly stops blowing air as it turns." However another Amazon customer is clearly a fan of this fan, giving it a five-star review and saying: "The best fan I've ever owned. Fantastic cool breeze blowing, remote control, quiet, amazing value, I am well impressed."

Triple drawer air fryer that 'cooks to perfection' gets £40 price slash in limited time sale
'Simple to operate and so far a joy to use with fantastic results!' It's safe to say that the air fryer trend has changed the way many households across the UK cook. With multiple compartments that can cook different foods at the same time but at varying temperatures, many of us have forgotten we even have an oven in the kitchen at all. As air fryers have become increasingly popular there are a multitude of variations on the market for shoppers to choose between. From compact one drawer devices to machines with 13L capacities to cook a full family dinner, there is sure to be a model on the market to fit each shopper's individual needs. For those looking for a device that goes an extra step further, shoppers may want to look towards the Cuisinart Tri Zone 13.6L Air Fryer & Oven. Normally retailing for £199.99, Amazon has slashed the price of this multifunctional device down to £159.99 as part of a limited time deal. What makes this Cuisinart Air Fryer stand out is that it boasts three separate cooking compartments. In the middle of the machine are two 4.3L baskets which sit on top of a 5L oven drawer at the base of the device. With this extra compartment, families will be able to cook more food at once to create an altogether toasty meal. The baskets come with six cooking functions - air fry, roast, grill, bake, re-crisp, and dehydrate - to allow for more flexible and faster cooking. Meanwhile, the flat surface oven is perfect for cooking 12" pizzas, quichies and brownies as it comes with pizza, toast and manual cooking modes for a wide range of meals. Cuisinart Tri Zone 13.6L Air Fryer & Oven £199.99 £159.99 Amazon Buy Now Product Description Allowing shoppers to cook with little to no oil, this device will create healthier meals that consist of irresistibly crispy exteriors and tender, juicy insides which can be tracked through the basket windows. And cleaning should also be a breeze as the baskets feature a PFAS free ceramic interior coating. Another popular air fryer on Amazon is the Tower Vortx Vizion 9L Dual Basket Air Fryer. Reduced down from £129.99 to £79.93, this air fryer is said to cook 30 per cent faster than a conventional oven and will use up to 70 per cent less energy. Alternatively, Argos is giving shoppers a chance to reduce the price of the popular Ninja 7.6L Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer and Dehydrator. Retailing at £199, shoppers can now use the code NINJA20 at checkouts to cut 20 per cent off the price tag - £159.20. Back to the Cuisiant Tri Zone Air Fryer, it currently has over 22,000 ratings on Amazon which has resulted in an impressive 4.4 star rating. One happy shopper wrote: "This is a revelation to how I cook, the duel temp cooking mode just simplifys when things require different temps, it's very easy to use. Fries I always do them in this and get a perfect crisp every time. Cleaning is very simple. "The keep warm function is easy to use as well making sure my pie stays warm while my chips are finishing. Makes excellent Toasties but make sure you use the Grill function." With another five-star reviewer adding: "Who doesn't want to make cooking easy and quick , especially with separate cooking compartments that liaise with each other so that both compartments are ready at the same time." However, some shoppers left mixed reviews, as one person wrote: "Great Air Fryer. Cooks well and it's so easy to clean. However the manual is near useless, but the controls are so easy to work out without it." While another added: "It doesn't work as well as the Ninja that we had previously so adjust the heat up a little or, maybe a little longer is needed too. The max crisp will help with the lack of heat and reduced timings." On the flip side, a top reviewer praised: "I wanted an air fryer with a larger capacity than the air fryers I already own and this product does the job. Simple to operate and so far a joy to use with fantastic results ! Great value and highly recommended." With a sixth customer commenting: "This cuisinart airfryer is the best I've owned so far. Good size and smart. Cooks everything so far to perfection." Head to Amazon to get the Cuisinart Tri Zone 13.6L Air Fryer & Oven on a limited time deal. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Cuddles, cuppas and chemistry: Albanese and Luxon downplay divisions in times of global turmoil
Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese and his New Zealand counterpart, Christopher Luxon, made multiple references to the freezing Queenstown climate during their annual meet-up but the mood was far from frosty. As the evening light dipped behind the jagged peaks surrounding a billionaire's bunker-like facility where the leaders held their bilateral talks at the weekend, Luxon quipped that the outdoor press conference was the coldest he had ever done and it was time for a cup of hot chocolate. Albanese, however, had other ideas. 'We're going in for a cuddle,' he said, giving Luxon a good pat on the back – a reference, perhaps, to their much-talked about embrace earlier in the day. It is the pair's second annual meeting, following Luxon's visit to Canberra last year but the leaders' relationship precedes their time in office, having first met when Luxon was the chief executive of Air New Zealand, and Albanese was Australia's transport minister. 'We've been friends for a long time,' Albanese said. 'We're probably the two leaders of nations that can sit down and talk aviation like two nerds and bore everyone else around the international forums.' Australia is New Zealand's only formal ally and the two countries have a long and close friendship, often walking in lock-step over global issues, defence and trade. However, their meeting came as record numbers of New Zealanders are leaving for Australia in search of better opportunities, while Australia continues to deport people with criminal convictions back to New Zealand under its contentious 501 deportation policy. Those issues – particularly the latter – have been a long-running thorn in the side of the trans-Tasman relationship, but were downplayed by the leaders who chose to focus their attention on being trusted friends, amid major geopolitical upheaval. 'At a time of global uncertainty this bond has never been more important,' Albanese said. Luxon, too, pointed to the certainty and predictability of the trans-Tasman alliance, and 'the knowledge that we have one another's backs'. Commitments to strengthen that bond included cooperating on growing each country's economy, cutting regulatory tape to streamline trans-Tasman business and working closely on defence. The prime ministers also stood together on international issues, including on Israel's latest plans for Gaza, China's expansion in the Pacific and US tariffs. On Saturday, the foreign ministers of both countries – alongside Germany, Italy and the UK – released a joint statement condemning Israel's plan to take over Gaza City. Last month, New Zealand and Australia cosigned the New York Call – a declaration indicating the possible recognition of Palestinian statehood. Neither Luxon nor Albanese would confirm when a declaration of statehood might happen but said Israel's latest plans were 'wrong' and urged the country to rethink its agenda. Both leaders also rejected the idea that possible trade retaliation from the US president, Donald Trump, over recognising Palestinian statehood would affect their positions. Australian goods imported into the US have attracted Trump's baseline 10% tariff, while last week, New Zealand was hit with a surprise 15% tariff. 'We make our own assessments in … our own economic and our security interests,' Luxon said, to which Albanese said: 'Australia has exactly the same position.' Regarding China – the largest trading partner of both countries – the leaders said followed pretty much the same playbook: cooperate where they can and disagree where they must. On a icy Sunday morning in Arrowtown, the prime minsters laid a wreath in remembrance of fallen Anzac soldiers before embarking on a helicopter ride over the region's mountains and glaciers. After another set of goodbye hugs at Queenstown airport, Albanese boarded his 737-8 Boeing business jet just after midday. Following his departure, Luxon told media the pair shared 'good chemistry', and that having a peer support group of other leaders was 'really important'. Asked whether Albanese was 'trolling' him by sporting the yellow scarf of the Wallabies – Australia's national rugby team – Luxon said 'he probably was a bit, yeah'. 'He was probably trolling me a bit with that plane there too but I'll just leave that for another day,' Luxon said, hinting at New Zealand's beleaguered defence force fleet. Some trans-Tasman rivalries will never freeze over.
