'Heatwave-saviour' Shark fan is cheaper than own brand site as code slashes price The Shark FlexBreeze fan is a must-have for anyone wanting to stay cool in the summer heat, and thanks to QVC, shoppers can get it for less than what the brand itself sells it for The FlexBreeze fan from Shark is cordless (Image: (Image: SHARK) ) While the weather is just beginning to heat up, it won't be long before the UK is basking in mid-twenties temperatures following what feels like an endless winter. A bit of sunshine is wonderful, but only if you're ready for the sticky and humid British summer. Our homes are not built for hot climates; they are designed to retain heat during the chilly winters, which often leads to a rush to purchase fans and air conditioning units when summer arrives. The Dyson Cool Tower fan is a popular choice, but with a price tag of £279.99, it's not affordable for everyone. For those who don't want a basic desk fan, like this £39 Dreo one, Shark offers a competitive alternative to Dyson but at a much lower cost. We've found a website selling its portable FlexBreeze fan for less than its own site.

Editor, Narin Flanders, managed to test out the appliance last year and described it as a godsend during the summer months.

You can use the five-speed FlexBreeze indoors or outdoors, corded or cordless - although you'll need to charge it before you take it outside for the first time." Her children were particularly thrilled with one specific feature: "Much to my children's delight, you can even attach a little water compartment to it and spritz cool water droplets if you're sitting outside on one of those still and boiling days of the heatwave. The thing I love most is how truly versatile it is. You can unclip the main fan from the stand to make it freestanding with a flick of the wrist and suddenly, if you're having a drink in the garden in the sun and it feels a bit too hot, you've got a refreshing breeze."

Despite its portable design being a strong point in comparison to other fans Narin did mention there's room for some tweaks. She said: "My only minor quibble is if you're using it in the full stand it would be handy for it to be a bit taller, but having used it for a while I'm happy to work round that by converting it into a tabletop fan and putting it on a counter or desk instead."
