Meghan, a writer of shopping, has been surviving the high temperatures in this heatwave with her new Whisper fan, which she raves about because it’s so quiet I can use it anywhere during the day or night without even realizing it.

We are all looking for ways to stay cool as the heatwave continues, especially as summer draws near. If you can open windows, make sure there is a breeze inside, but a fan is probably the best way to keep your room cool and comfortable. And I have one in my possession that might be my all-time favorite fan.

The lack of variety in terms of speed and airflow, and the limited noise output that limits how much and when you can use them, are two of the biggest issues with fans. Both of those problems are eliminated by my new Duux Whisper Flex 2 fan. This intelligent fan offers a wide range of fan speeds and positions, promising a whisper-quiet sound that makes it ideal for leaving at night and during the day. Additionally, it comes with voice control, a remote control, and an app, which means you can alter the fan settings without even entering the room.

I’ve kept this impressively quiet fan running since it arrived. Since the heatwave seems to be here to stay for a while, this fan has been a lifesaver throughout the day and night. For those wondering, the setup of this fan could not be easier. The parts are conveniently labelled to help during the construction, and the instructions provided are simple and easy to follow. I had mine put together in under ten minutes.

The standout feature of this fan, which has so many amazing features to discuss, was the almost unheard, low sound it makes while running. The more sound is created, of course, but it’s so minimal that I’ve managed to sleep with it running at a high setting while it’s still on. This fan has the perfect airflow at a remarkablely low volume, with no annoying rattling or whirring noises.

There is a designated sleep setting that works best for those (like me) who prefer to go to bed in the dark when it comes to sleeping with this beauty on. There is no extra light keeping you awake when the fan’s base’s light-up touchpad is set to sleep mode, which means that the fan can be dimmed and turned off. With the remote and the app, you can set up a timer so your fan doesn’t turn on continuously throughout the night. This is ideal for those who like to sleep cool but don’t need it all night.

As I’ve mentioned already, this top-notch fan has WiFi connectivity and is compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa, so you can control the fan using your voice or take advantage of the handy and super easy to set up Duux smart app, that lets you adjust the fan’s speed, oscillation and set that timer. For those who don’t want to download the app or don’t have access to Google Home or Alexa, the fan does come armed with a simple remote control, as well as the intuitive touch panel, which lets you control your fan just as easily.

The Whisper Flex 2 standing fan has three speed options to choose from, which is handy during this spring heatwave because some days days have been chilly and others have been chilly, and it also has a natural wind mode. Multiple oscillation presets on the Whisper Flex 2 allow you to precisely control airflow throughout the room, ensuring you can choose the ideal setting. You can easily aim the breeze at your bed, desk, sofa, etc. with the vertical oscillation setting of 45° and 90°, and the horizontal oscillation can switch between 30°, 60°, or 90°.

The versatility of this flexible fan allows it to easily switch between a 54 cm desk/table fan and a 92 cm floor-standing fan, making it easily a transition from your office to your bedroom. It’s incredibly light and maneuverable, making it easy to move the fan from one room to another without any issues. Plus, it has a handy handle feature on the back of the fan, making it even easier to carry.

This solar-powered set is the best option if you’re looking for a way to keep your balcony, home, or greenhouse plants automatically watered without lifting a finger.

An automatic irrigation system is necessary if you want to keep your plants watered at home or without lifting a finger. This Gardena irrigation set, which is solar-powered and has a settable timer, is ideal for keeping your balcony, house, conservatory, or greenhouse plants watered without having to be close by.

This irrigation system only needs a nearby water source, such as a bucket, and direct sunlight because it is designed with a solar-powered battery, which eliminates the need for cables or extension leads to have it plugged in.

One of these Amazon items can be purchased for less than the price of one of these AquaBloom solar-powered irrigation sets. You’ll need to rush to get yours before it’s gone, because this stock is currently running very low at the time of writing. You can also purchase the same item at Argos or Debenhams.

When you’re not there, the AquaBloom system waters and cares for your tub plants, greenhouses, or home-grown herbs as needed all year long.

You’ll only need a water bucket close to your plants to set up the helpful system, which doesn’t need a power outlet or a water tap in your garden or terrace. A 3-in-1 main unit, which includes a pump that draws water, a control unit to set the irrigation schedule, and a solar panel that supplies the included rechargeable batteries, complete the AquaBloom set.

This Aquabloom irrigation system includes pressure-compensation drippers, fourteen pre-defined watering schedules, and other features that allow you to manage the watering of up to 20 plants. Additionally, it makes use of the Aquabloom’s versatile and practical placement, which allows for either planting pot mounting or standing next to it. Just make sure you place the control unit in a sunny location so that it can recharge throughout the day.

It’s simple and without tools to install AquaBloom. With this irrigation set, you can enjoy your balcony, terrace, or home with gorgeous, well-maintained plants and flowers all year long without having to worry about them going without water when you’re not there.

This irrigation set has nearly 2k positive reviews from satisfied Amazon customers who can’t stop rave about it, and it costs $94.98 at Debenhams, $86.23 on Amazon, or £125 at Argos.

One customer remarks, “I have a small domestic polytunnel without mains electricity or water at the end of the garden.” My watering can won’t let me use it, but I can usually use it to travel back and forth. However, since we were away for a week in extremely hot weather, I needed a remedy. This has been a really effective implementation so far. I glued a garden fork in the border and attached the solar pump to the handle for various reasons, but it was impossible to find a place to put it. The in-flow tube was placed next to 20 vegetable plants that had been planted in a soil border and were inserted into a water tank outside the polytunnel door. Although I’m not very handy, it’s really simple to set up and stress-free as long as you can use a pair of scissors. Although I may need to re-do the configuration because I had to cut the tubing according to particular plant spacings, Gardena sell replacement/standalone drip irrigation tubing.

Another beams, “I’m so happy with my new garden waterer. The big test was when we took a week-long vacation and had to leave my beloved tomatoes, which I had raised from seed. The tomatoes were bigger and the soil was lovely and moist when we arrived home, so I wasn’t concerned. I anticipate using it frequently.
