I slept under a blanket of cool air last night thanks to this clever adjustable tower fan

I'm feeling fresh and just a little bit smug today, because I spent last night sound asleep under a cool blanket of air provided by the Dimplex FlexBlade Tower Fan, which is now £123 (was £199.99) at Amazon. You can use it vertically to blow a column of air in your direction while you're working or cooking, but it really comes into its own turned horizontally, when it's just the right height to blow a breeze right across your duvet and help you beat the heat.

The FlexBlade looks a lot like the Shark TurboBlade, which is perhaps a bit cheeky of Dimplex, but it's half the price for Amazon Prime Day and very effective. If you struggle to get a proper night's rest in hot weather, I recommend giving it a try — and it's not too heavy to carry between rooms during the day. Oh, and it oscillates horizontally as well.

It's not the quietest fan I've ever used (that would be the MeacoFan Sefte Pro Air Circulator, which is almost silent), but the Dimplex FlexBlade has a night mode that noticeably reduces noise while still producing a very effective sheet of air to beat the heat.
