Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.News flash – it’s been hot, really hot, and it’s only going to get hotter as the heatwave swelters on through this week and beyond.
Whether you’re working (melting) from home, or struggling to beat the heat during balmy nights, we’ve all found ways to keep our cool, from summer duvets to cooling ice globes. FYI, if you are looking for more hot weather inspo, take a look at our heatwave guide, or check out our IndyBest team’s hot weather recommendations.
While sipping on endless iced lattes and opening every single window in the house can help to an extent, a fan is a solid investment that you’ll thank yourself for later.
It’s just choosing the model that’s tricky. But, if you’re eager to buy as soon as possible (we don’t blame you), then let us introduce you to Duux’s whisper flex smart fan.
The gadget is one of our favourites – second only to Dyson’s purifier cool autoreact (£499, Dyson.co.uk) – having breezed its way into second place of our best fans edit. Standout features were its low noise level and sleek good looks and, even better? It’s now on sale with 30 per cent off.

While testing this “wireless wonder”, our reviewer loved its jet black design, although it is also available in grey and white for a lighter colourway.
The 26 speeds can be altered using a remote control or via an app on your smartphone, while “adjusting the height from desk to floor size was effortless,” according to our tester. It was suprisingly quiet too, which could be ideal for those who need little to no noise while working or drifting off to sleep.
Our tester added, “Its swing can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally, which meant there wasn’t an inch of the room that wasn’t cooled when it was in full flow. It’s not the lightest fan, although there’s a sense that this one has been built to last while still being a joy to use.”
Fans are a godsend once sauna level temperatures hit, and with £50 off this deal is too hot to miss.
