B&M is offering shoppers a chance to stay cool during the ongoing heatwave with a £20 tower fan that the retailer says 'will never let you down'. As parts of Britain experience temperatures soaring to 38C, the Met Office has issued a rare red heat warning for some areas, prompting many to seek affordable cooling solutions.
Product details and availability
The Blaupunkt 14-inch Tower Fan is priced at £20 and features three speed settings. B&M describes it as 'light and compact', ideal for home offices and general domestic use. However, the retailer has placed a 'Hurry, Low Stock' warning on the product, urging customers to act quickly. The fan is available in a grey finish and stands 14 inches tall, making it suitable for desks, bedside tables, or worktops.
It is important to note that the fan is only available for in-store collection, with home delivery not an option. Shoppers can check stock levels at their local B&M branch using the online store finder.
Alternative cooling options
B&M also stocks the Blaupunkt Air Cooler Cube for £18, which the retailer says can keep rooms 'cool and fresh'. This compact cooler features a 500ml water tank that provides up to six hours of cooling, and adding ice can produce even colder airflow. It includes three fan speed settings and seven optional colour mood lights, and comes with a USB charging cable and a UK power adaptor.
The product description reads: 'Keep your home cool and fresh with the fabulous Air Cooler Cube from Blaupunkt. This compact yet powerful cooler delivers up to six hours of refreshing air, perfect for small spaces. With three speed settings and optional LED mood lights, you can create your ideal atmosphere. Plus, it's portable and lightweight for ultimate convenience.'
Heatwave context
The Met Office's red heat warning, the highest level, indicates a risk to life and significant disruption. B&M, with over 700 stores across the UK and Ireland, is positioned to help customers beat the heat without breaking the bank. As temperatures remain high, demand for cooling gadgets is expected to surge.
