‘This is the best fan I’ve had! It’s very quiet – it has different speeds and there is a ‘mist’ element if you need it!’
With summer around the corner, many will be thinking of ways to stay cool during the heat – and that is why shoppers are grabbing this Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Cordless Fan from Amazon. With more than 100 bought in the past month, it’s clear it’s a popular buy.
Plus, it’s currently discounted in a limited-time deal. The fan in the colour dove grey can be snapped up for £89, down from £129.99, saving shoppers 32% on their purchase. There are other colours available, too, but at a slightly higher price point of £99.99.
This fan can be used both indoors or outdoors, the brand says, and it features Shark’s HydroGo Evaporating Cooling technology, which produces ultra-fine droplets and creates a ‘refreshing mist’. It is also rain and UV-resistant, and it operates quietly to avoid disturbance.

Without the mist feature, the fan can run for up to 12 hours on speed one, up to 3.5 hours on speed three, and up to one hour on speed five. With its compact design and weight of less than 2.1 kg, it’s super portable and great for ‘grab and go cooling’, too.

Elsewhere there’s also this Vybra Solo Rechargeable Desktop Fan in the colour black from Lakeland for £34.99. This is a rechargeable, portable cooling fan which has a ‘sleek, bladeless design with ambient lighting’. There are three fan speeds to suit individual preferences and a USB charging cable is included.
Or for something even more portable, there’s the Kinetik Wellbeing The Comfort Cooling Fan from Boots for £39.99. Users can choose from three fan speeds to suit their needs, and there’s a built-in cooling plate to provide ‘targeted relief’.
The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Cordless Fan has received an overall average rating of 4.6 out of five stars on Amazon. One said: “I’m so glad I found this fan in time for the summer heatwaves. I don’t have the option of air conditioning, and this kept me cool through the nights, and the misting feature adds an extra cooling sensation which helped me get to sleep instead of tossing and turning miserably. It’s quiet enough to sleep, very easy to move around, and small enough to not take up too much space.”
A second person wrote: “This is the best fan I’ve had! It’s very quiet – it has different speeds and there is a ‘mist’ element if you need it! I could have this on in the bedroom and, as it is so quiet, it didn’t disturb me. It’s great value for money and also the colour is really nice (I have the green one – but there are other colours). It’s flexible, too, as it moves around wherever you need it!”
A third person added: “We bought these after reading reviews and (we are) very happy with this small fan. It’s easy to move around to different rooms with its cordless function, but (it) also has a socket. My husband recently tried the mist on a warm day and was very impressed on how much it helped. It’s also quieter than most fans and has good speed functions. We were so impressed we bought two in different colours.”
Others deducted stars and left some more critical comments. One person wrote: “Fabulous unit, does exactly what it says on the box. One star removed because the water tank is very small, otherwise faultless.”
Another said: “The fan works well, but the battery drains quite quickly at higher speeds. It’s also smaller than I expected, and I keep wondering how I’m supposed to clean the inside since I haven’t found a way to open it and reach the blades. Honestly, the biggest downside for me is how quickly the battery runs out! That said, it really is beautiful.”
