Lidl is selling a portable cooling gadget that’s perfect for summer – it’s £70 cheaper than a Russell Hobbs version
LIDL is selling a portable cooling gadget that is perfect for summer – or even as an ideal gift for Father's Day.
The Lidl budget tool is a massive £70 cheaper than the Russell Hobbs equivalent.
With more and more hybrid workers escaping the daily commute, fitting out home-based offices has become big business.
Keeping cool in the summer is one of the most important ways workers can keep themselves productive while working from home.
There are several innovative design touches to the Silvercrest bladeless desk fan, including an impressive LED display.
This allows the fan's speed settings and the timer to be easily visible at night or throughout the day.
At just £29.99, the portable fan is the perfect bargain buy beating Russell Hobbs by £70.
It has a pleasant cooling effect thanks to even air distribution.
With summer fast approaching, users will be pleased to hear it also has 10 different speeds which can cope with everything from mild heat to blazing sunshine.
There are other bonuses too – as it is bladeless, there is no risk of injury.

- Non-slip base
- Remote control
The gadget also comes with a three-year warranty as standard.
It comes to Lidl stores on June 1 just in time for Father's Day and at an impressive bargain price.

In contrast, the Russell Hobbs bladeless tower fan is on the market for nearly £100.
The Silvercrest bladeless desk fan will retail at £29.99 from June 1 in most Lidl stores.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
