Fans are selling fast — I'm an appliance expert, and I've found the best air quality and kitchen appliance deals still…

I'm not a fan of the heat; I write this from my local Pret-a-Manger with the eyes of a begrudging barista burning into the back of my neck. Such is the joy of covering Amazon Prime Day in a heatwave.

All this because, despite having some of the best fans in my apartment, I'm cursed to live in a flat with windows only on one side, so there's little hope of beating the heat at home. That doesn't mean you can't keep cool, though, and to help you out I've found the best Prime Day fans, air conditioning and iced treat-making kitchen appliances to keep the heat at bay.

I've actually already shopped some of these deals myself; the first thing in my basket this year for Prime Day is Breville's Iced Coffee Maker. Cheap and cheerful at £21.99 (was £46.99), this single-serve gadget is perfect for my itsy-bitsy kitchen where countertop space is at a premium. It costs less than my weekly spend at Starbucks, too, so the long-term savings stand to be pretty significant!

Check out all the best deals I've found below.

Amazon Prime Day fan deals

Prime Day officially began today (Tuesday, 23 June), but deals on some of our favorite fans are scarce. We saw some discounts as the clock struck twelve, midnight, but unfortunately, many brands had wised up and returned products to RRP by morning.

Beyond that, we've also included our top picks that aren't currently on sale, because you may decide that it's worth paying full price to get some relief from the heat — and right now, we'd agree.

Also consider...

These fans aren't on offer, but with stock being so low and deals so scarce, they're well worth checking out. Many of the models listed below rank among our top recommendations, so give them a whirl!

Prime Day deals — air conditioners

If a fan just isn't cutting it, an air conditioning unit is a reliable way to actually lower temperatures in your home. Unfortunately, AC units are all but sold out now. Below, you'll find the ones still in stock (for now), plus a couple of permanent options, if you fancy getting serious and splashing a bit more cash. We'll update this section with more options if we find any.

A quick PSA on how to choose: for portable units, the spec to focus on is BTU — this stands for British thermal units, and the higher the BTU, the larger the room the unit can cool. Ideally, we'd recommend looking at models with 10,000BTU or above, unless you're only cooling a very tiny room.

Prime Day deals — Kitchen appliances

Fans aren't the only way to cool down, of course — you can also whip up something frosty in the kitchen. Whether that's a cool iced coffee or an ice cream is a matter of taste, but be sure to keep hydrated alongside your sweet treats!

Below, you'll find a selection of TechRadar-recommended appliances to make cooling drinks or snacks, and some of them are on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
