Home Bargains shoppers are rushing to buy £8 gadget ‘better than Dyson’ to keep pets and kids cool in hot weather
SHOPPERS are rushing to bag this summer essential from Home Bargains – and it’s half the price of similar items elsewhere.
You can pick up the Pifco Clip-On Fan for just £7.99 – and it’s the cheapest around.
The portable fan can be attached to various surfaces to keep you cool anywhere, and it costs half the price of clip-on fans at rival home stores.
A similar fan is on sale at B&Q for £14.95, while Argos sells one for £15.
Home Bargains shoppers agree: one customer who shared the bargain on Facebook said: “This little fan is such a good buy if you have dogs as it’s rechargeable [and] can clip on to crates.
“My dog is obsessed – perfect for keeping him cool on these hot days and doesn’t burn through the leckie [electricity] like other fans.”
Another shopper said: “I have one for my one-month-old’s pram, [it’s] amazing!”
The fan is super portable too as it is wireless and rechargeable, meaning you can carry it around with you.
It also has a height of just 17.5cm and doesn’t consume too much energy – using just 4.5 watts.
You can buy the fan in-store and online, but Home Bargains charges a £3.49 delivery fee for most addresses.
You can only get free delivery from Home Bargains if you spend £150.
If you put your postcode in online, you can instantly see the cost of delivering to you.
We always advise you to shop around for the best deals, so be sure to check out the competition before committing to a purchase.

How to keep cool in hot weather for cheap
ROOM TEMPERATURE: Try to keep the blinds down and curtains drawn, as this blocks out the sun and stops it heating the room.
Also, avoid opening the windows during the hottest part of the day – but open them wide when it starts to cool down.
Opening more than one window creates a through-draught to get air circulating.
COOL MEALS: Stick to cold food for lunch and dinner, as putting the oven on will heat the house back up again. Hot meals will also make you feel warmer.
A salad is perfect to make in the hot weather – and veggies such as lettuce, celery and cucumber have high water content to keep you better hydrated.
RINSE YOUR WRITSTS: Splashing your wrists and other parts of your skin with cold water will help you feel cooler.
You can also apply something cold such as a frozen bag of peas for a few minutes.
