If you’re looking for a way to beat the heatwave without breaking the bank, the Dimplex Ion Fresh Cooling Tower Fan could be your new best friend this summer. With the UK currently sweltering under a heatwave, it’s the perfect time to invest in a fan that’s not just powerful but smart and sleek too. But you’ll have to be quick as its discounted price finishes today (Friday 11 July) at 11.59pm.
Available exclusively to Amazon Prime customers, if you’re not already signed up, the site is currently offering a 30-day free trial, allowing you to access Prime Day discounts without spending a penny.
Priced at a very cool £69.99, down from£109.99, this bladeless tower fan offers 70° oscillation, three adjustable speeds, and a thermostat to keep your room just right. The remote control lets you tweak settings without leaving your seat, while the adjustable tilt ensures cool air flows around the room.
But not only can this fan keep you cool, it also comes with an air ioniser. What is an air ioniser I hear you ask? It’s a fancy way of saying purifier, which works by releasing negative ions into the space. These ions attach to airborne particles like dust, pollen, smoke, mold spores, bacteria, and allergens, making them heavier so they fall to the ground or are trapped in filters.
If you or your family are struggling with hayfever this summer, investing in a purifier could work wonders. Amazon has this LEVOIT Smart Wifi Air Purifier on sale that promises to trap 99.97% of airborne particles.
According to Amazon, the fan has been a popular choice with over 1,000 units sold in the last month alone. Many customers commented on how quiet and efficient it is. One reviewer said, “This fan has been a total lifesaver during the heatwave. Even on the lowest setting, it puts out a surprisingly strong breeze. It runs quietly, which has been great when watching TV without being too distracting.”
Another happy customer wrote: “I bought one of these last year and it’s great so I recently bought another for my bedroom, powerful, nice looking, stylish, different modes, just great.”
Despite other buyers claims, some people did mention that they found it particularly noise. One user wrote: “Really good at its basic function of producing cool air. However, its lowest/quietest setting will probably still be too loud for light sleepers. A variable setting is quite nice but the difference between ‘forest breeze’ and ‘night-time’ is really slight.”
Amazon isn’t the only online retailer hoping to entice shoppers to snap up a bargain ahead of the summer holidays. Argos has just kicked off an up to 50% off sale with discounts on big-name brands like Shark and Dyson. In fact, it has slashed the price of Dyson’s highly-rated PH3A Fan and Air Humidifier, from £650 to £500. While expensive, users say it’s super quiet and they quickly noticed a difference in the air quality. One even claimed it helped relieve their night time cough.
If noise is your main concern, the Honeywell QuietSet Tower Fan (model HYF260BE) is another budget-friendly option, offering multiple speeds and a remote but lacks the ioniser feature. Now reduced by 25% in the Argos sale, it’s priced at £75 and offers five speed settings, has a remote control, and oscillates to spread the cool air out. One buyer wrote: “This is just what I was looking for. Not badly priced and doesn’t look unsightly. Makes my bedroom nice and cool and is quite quiet.”
