With much of the UK experiencing a heatwave, savvy shoppers have spotted a way to bag a ‘small but mighty’ fan for less
We’ve all been dreaming of warmer weather, and it’s finally here. As a mini heatwave makes its way across the UK, shoppers are wasting no time looking for ways to cool down.
Huge names like Shark and Dyson are trying to tempt shoppers to buy their latest gadgets to keep cool either inside or out. The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Misting Fan is currently £129.99, while the DysonCool Tower Fan has also been reduced by £80 on the brand’s website. But if you’re looking to keep cool without breaking the bank, Argos has plenty of options to beat the heat.
Customers are snapping up one of the retailer’s bestselling budget fans, the Challenge White Desk 7-inch Fan, which usually retails for £38 but is currently reduced to £18 online. The £20 saving is already chunk, but we’ve found a way to get even more savings on this ‘small but mighty’ fan.
Money-saving website TopCashback has launched a unique offer that means you can effectively get this fan for less than £3 by stacking the sale with a second set of offers. Shoppers signing up as new members to TopCashback can claim a free £15 sign-up bonus, plus an additional cashback amount, which takes the total of your purchase down to £2.78 after cashback.

Despite its small size, the Challenge desk fan is known for being small but powerful. Reviewers have praised its ability to cool down a room quickly while at a budget price. It’s got two speed settings, an oscillating function to circulate air evenly, and a 1.7m power cord so you won’t be tethered to the nearest plug socket.
With over 900 reviews on Argos and a 4.4 rating out of 5, it’s a must-have for anyone hoping to stay cool at home, work or anywhere else without blowing their budget. For those after a floor-standing option that’s equally wallet-friendly, the Challenge Mini Tower Fan is also seeing a price drop. Usually priced at £26, new Argos shoppers can get it for £10.68 after cashback. Existing Argos members can get it for £10.78 after cashback.
The floor standing Mini Tower Fan is ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space, thanks to its discreet design – now’s a great time to stock up before the next hot spell hits.
With over 900 positive reviews, it’s easy to see why customers are rushing to snap the desk fan up. One person wrote: “I bought this for my desk at work. It might be small, but it is very powerful, I’m pleased!”
A second review read: “I bought it a few months ago, and it’s honestly perfect. It’s quite small, so it doesn’t take up too much room, but it still blows off so much air.” A third said: “Bought this for my desk at work. It might be small but it is very powerful. Very pleased.”
Another comment said: “Nothing to add, other than it functions well, it does what it should and is a nice price for a fan. It’s not too loud for me, and I have super sensitive hearing.”
However, some reviews were mixed, one shopper noted: “It’s really good and useful as a desk fan, it can be a bit loud at times.”
