B&M’s £10 Blaupunkt Cordless Neck Fan is a budget option to beat the heat this heatwave
Brits seeking respite from the scorching temperatures are snapping up cheaper cooling gadgets and household essentials as the nation continues to swelter in a 30C heatwave.
With the hot weather set to persist, retailers are racing to stock budget-friendly products designed to help families stay cool during the stifling conditions.
B&M, for example, has widened its range of products designed to help customers combat the heat without breaking the bank, including one item costing just £10. The Blaupunkt Cordless Neck Fan, available in white and black, is generating considerable interest.
The discount chain, which runs hundreds of stores across the UK and Ireland, is well-known for its bargains on homeware and furnishings. As temperatures keep climbing, B&M has launched an increasing array of products like these, alongside garden essentials, to prepare Britain for summer.
According to B&M, the product could prove particularly handy for those wanting to exercise during the blistering temperatures. A spokesperson said: “Stay cool anywhere with this stylish Blaupunkt Cordless Neck Fan. Also great for cooling down durning a workout. Hands-free design.”
Weighing roughly 290g and measuring approximately 22 x 14 x 5.5cm, the device is compact enough to move around the home, place on a desk or tuck away for travel. Despite its lightweight dimensions, it is built to be both portable and powerful.
Shoppers keen to find out more can browse additional details and product images on the B&M website. However, buyers should note that the item is currently available for in-store collection only and cannot be delivered to your door, so it’s worth checking stock levels at your nearest branch beforehand using B&M’s online stock checker.
It bears a striking resemblance to the GEEPAS Portable Neck Fan available at Tesco for £16.99 down from £19.99. That makes the B&M fan an impressive £7 cheaper.
“Stay cool effortlessly with this hands-free portable fan, designed like a headphone to rest comfortably around your neck,” reads the product description on the Tesco website. “Mini fan is perfect for commuting, workouts, or working at your desk. No need to hold or adjust the USB fan while in use.
“Two adjustable fan heads of bladeless fan provide direct, customizable airflow exactly where you want it. Flex and rotate each head of this rechargeable neck fan to target your face or neck for all-day comfort. This rechargeable fan is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.”
It continues: “Easily switch between low, medium, and high speeds at the press of a button. Whether you prefer a gentle breeze or powerful airflow, this neck fan adjusts to suit your comfort. Perfect for shifting temperatures and various environments, from outdoor adventures to daily commutes.”
B&M also features an extensive selection of homeware bargains. The Simply Picture Shelf is available for a budget-friendly £10. Measuring W120 x D10 x H4cm, the sleek design could be ideal for displaying framed photographs, candles, small plants and decorative accents without dominating valuable wall space.
“A decorative and practical addition to modern spaces,” states the product description on the B&M website. “This Simply Picture Shelf adds dimension and decorative flair to walls, and can be used to showcase ornaments, pictures, or as a storage solution.”
