UK Heatwave Drives Surge in Demand for Deeply Discounted Fans and Portable Coolers

Major retailers have cut prices on a range of cooling devices in time-limited deals following a spike to mid-30°C temperatures

Overview

  • A persistent heatwave with temperatures peaking around 34°C has fuelled a spike in demand for portable cooling solutions across the UK.
  • Amazon has cut the Pureborne 42-inch smart tower fan from about £350 to £80, highlighting its remote and app controls, voice commands and ultra-quiet airflow in a limited-time deal.
  • The Mitreal 3-in-1 handheld turbo fan has been reduced from roughly £90 to £13 and draws praise for its power, up to 15 hours of battery life and versatile form factors.
  • Other discounts include Wowcher’s Obero oscillating fan for £29 (was £70), Prime-member savings on Jisulife neck fans from £34 to £27 and compact air coolers cut to £120 on Amazon.
  • Most reviewers applaud these bargains for value and performance but point to trade-offs such as noise at top speeds, uneven output and the risk of quick sell-outs.
