In comparison, it's £225 cheaper than the popular Dyson Cool Tower Fan, which will set you back a hefty £280. Shoppers reckon Lidl's version does the job just as well, with many calling it a 'game-changer' in the heat. One customer said: 'Bought this today and it's amazing, super quiet and doesn't take up much space.' Another added: 'Exactly like a Dyson but a fraction of the price. Total win.' While a third chimed in: ' This is just what I needed.' The Silvercrest tower boasts 20 speed settings, four oscillation angles, a timer of up to eight hours and four modes including sleep and power. It's bladeless, making it safer for kids and pets and a breeze to clean. It even comes with a stylish matte finish, a non-slip base, and a three-year warranty, proving you don't have to pay Dyson prices for designer fan features. Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel But you'll have to be quick. Lidl's offer is in-store only, and like all their top deals, stock is limited and once it's gone, it's gone. The £15 discount is only valid from June 1 to June 7, so don't hang about. It's also worth calling ahead to make sure your local branch still has it in stock. Fan deals Lidl's not the only retailer flogging bargain fans this week. Poundland is selling a mini desk fan for just £3, one of the cheapest options around. Asda has handheld fans from £1.50 and a bigger nine-inch desk fan for £15. Aldi shoppers are raving about a portable air cooler with LED lights for just £14.99. It's small, rechargeable and comes with a carry handle. Lidl also has a Silvercrest desk fan for £29.99 – or £19.99 with the app. It's being called a dupe of a £100 Russell Hobbs model and includes a remote control. Over at Home Bargains, there's a wearable neck fan for £4.99 and a 32-inch tower fan for £19.99, beating Dunelm's price by a tenner. Before buying, it's always worth using tools like PriceSpy, Idealo, or CamelCamelCamel to check you're getting the best deal. These compare prices and track discounts over time, so you can spot a genuine bargain and avoid falling for fake "sales." Just remember to factor in delivery fees if you're shopping online, and always check stock levels before heading to the shops. With temps rising and stocks flying, the best deals won't stick around for long.

Dyson expert's top tips to beat the heat – including fan trick, why you should CLOSE windows & common shower mistake
Top engineer reveals the best place to position your fan to stay chill FAN-TASTIC Dyson expert's top tips to beat the heat – including fan trick, why you should CLOSE windows & common shower mistake Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH hotter days on the way Brits will soon be digging out their fans to stay cool. The hottest May Day on record saw temperatures climb to a scorching 29C this year, with many hoping we could be in for a summer sizzler. 4 Dyson engineer Shawn Navarednam reveals the science behind keeping cool Credit: Dyson 4 Having an ice cold shower isn't the right way to cool down, according to the experts at Dyson (stock image) Credit: Getty 4 Your gadgets could be making matters worse too (stock image) Credit: Getty It's important to keep yourself, your loved ones and your home cool at this time of year. But some of us are making big mistakes in our mission to chill. This includes everything from where you place your fan, to when you should have windows open and even how you shower. We spoke to one of Dyson's top engineers, who works on fans, to find out the best ways to beat the heat. Where to put your fan The position of your fan around the room can make all the difference. And the wrong spot could just be blowing warm air your way, which will only make matters worse. Shawn Navarednam, Environmental Care Design Engineer at Dyson, says the corner of the room is best. "Positioning your fan in the corner of the room means the air can be projected diagonally across the room," he says. "However, should you wish to find relief from a hot summer night, you can position the fan next to your bed pointing towards to you to provide a cooling effect. "The Dyson Cool Tower Fan can be programmed to turn off after pre-set intervals, from 15 minutes to 9 hours, perfect for summer slumbers." The height of your fan can make a difference, too. Cooler air is denser and accumulates at the bottom of the room, so keeping your fan near the ground to sweep the cold air up can help. FAN MISCONCEPTION Whilst fans cool you and circulate air around the room, they are not air conditioning units so will not lower the temperature of your room. They will however provide relief by cooling you with powerful airflow, facilitating the evaporation of sweat and by replacing warm air with cooling air. Image credit: Getty Don't take a cold shower Contrary to popular belief, an ice cold shower won't help you stay cool - at least for the long term. A warm shower actually works better. "Surprisingly, consider taking a warm shower rather than an ice cold one," Shawn explains. "When the body is subjected to extreme cold, it tries to regulate its core temperature by controlling blood flow to the skin. "This means that although a cold shower may offer a brief moment of respite, heat can be retained within the body. "Following a lukewarm shower, the body will try to cool down and accelerate blood flow to the skin, which promotes heat loss." Don't have windows open all day 4 Having your window open during the day is also not advised (stock image) Credit: Getty Letting in the sunlight might brighten your mood but it can create a greenhouse effect – with up to 30 per cent of unwanted heat gain coming from windows. So it's best to keep the windows, curtains or blinds closed during the day to minimise the amount of sunlight coming in. "Night-time is when summer temperatures tend to dip, so make a habit of opening windows at night to allow cooler air to enter," Shawn continues. "Then be sure to close them in the morning before temperatures rise and open them again in the evening as the temperatures gradually drop." Experts warn of 6 HUGE mistakes to avoid when using a fan Unplug electronics Electrical appliances and gadgets generate heat. These days we have so many around the house that collectively contribute to the ambient temperature of the room. "Opt for energy efficient lights and get into the habit of turning off and unplugging all electronic devices that are not being used," Shawn says. "Cooking in a pan or oven can also increase indoor temperatures, so opt for a lighter meal or one that can be cooked outside such as a barbecue."
