Shark ChillPill drops to lowest ever price in Amazon Prime Day deals, but there's a catch

Looking to stay cool during the UK's summer heatwave? Amazon has marked down SharkNinja's newest portable cooling system to its lowest ever price. Dubbed the ChillPill, it's a handheld fan with three distinct ways to keep you cool during the summer months – a high-speed fan capable of blasting air at 7.5 metres per second (that's 16.7mph), an evaporative mist, and a cooling pad that lowers skin temperature by up to 9°C when held in place. It's available in a choice of Carbon, Iced Latte, Haze, Dragon Fruit, Glacier, Matcha, and more. However, only the shade Cloud is on sale for £119 — was £149. The ChillPill has already been so popular since its release that SharkNinja has struggled to keep it in stock. To dip into the deal, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member. Luckily, it doesn't have to cost you anything. That's because the US shopping giant offers a 30-day free trial of its membership scheme. Sign up, then cancel immediately, and you'll still be able to enjoy all of the perks of Prime membership for a month.That includes access to all discounts in the Prime Day sale, exclusive boxsets and films to stream via Prime Video, unlimited cloud storage for photos in Amazon Photos, free video games to download to your PC, next-day delivery on thousands of items, free Audible books to download and keep, and more.Amazon's Prime Day sale will run from June 23-26.Buy the SharkNinja ChillPill 3-in-1 cooling system at its lowest ever price on AmazonSave £30 on the SharkNinja ChillPill 3-in-1 cooling system in the shade Cloud on Amazon. This small but mighty device combines a powerful fan, refreshing ultra-fine mist, and InstaChill Cooling Plate technology. Designed for wearable, clip-on, or tabletop use, it delivers instant cooling, reducing skin temperature by up to 9°C on contact. With 10 fan speeds, up to 11 hours of runtime, USB-C charging, and a travel bundle. A few years after John Lewis struggled to keep its viral handheld fan in stock as temperatures soared across the UK, global brands like SharkNinja — best known for its air fryers, haircare, and vacuum cleaners — and Dyson are now entering the fray with their own solutions.According to SharkNinja, the ChillPill is the only 3-in-1 portable cooling system on the market. It's more expensive than the newly-launched Dyson HushJet Mini Cool, although the latter only ships with a single method to stop you from sweating.The ChillPill promises up to 11 hours of battery life on a single charge, so it should keep you cool on the longest days spent sightseeing or working out. This all-new design was made possible by combining engineering knowledge from across the existing portfolio of products, including the fan engineering innovations used in its cleaning products and the cryo‑inspired cooling pads developed by its beauty division for the likes of the FacialPro Glow, DePuffi and the CryoGlow mask.When it runs out of juice, SharkNinja says it'll take 3.5-hours plugged into the wall with the included charging cable to refill.

The latter is pressed against your skin to lower your skin temperature by up to 9°C. Discussing the new product, James Kitto, Senior Vice President, Managing Director of EMEA, said: Current personal cooling options simply haven't kept pace with how we live today.
