B&M has placed a 'Hurry Low Stock' warning on its Blaupunkt LED Colour Changing Handheld Fan, priced at £6, as the UK swelters under a 38C heatwave. The fan is advertised as providing cooling for 'up to 5 hours' on a single charge, making it a budget-friendly option for those seeking relief from the scorching temperatures.
Product Features and Availability
The handheld fan features three speed settings, a rechargeable lithium battery, and LED lights that can cycle through seven different colours. It has a transparent casing, a circular fan head, and a loop at the base for carrying or hanging. B&M warns that stock is low and once sold out, the fan will no longer be available. The fan is only sold in-store, not online, so shoppers are advised to use B&M's store finder to check local availability.
Other Cooling Options
B&M also offers the Blaupunkt 14-inch Tower Fan for £20, described as 'light and compact' with three speed settings, suitable for home offices and general domestic use. This tower fan is grey and stands 14 inches tall, designed to fit small spaces.
Context of the Heatwave
The Met Office issued a rare red weather warning earlier this week as temperatures reached 38C across parts of the UK. Many retailers have seen increased demand for cooling products, with B&M reporting dwindling stock levels. The Blaupunkt handheld fan is marketed as a travel-friendly solution, ideal for on-the-go cooling during the heatwave.
