When I read that the UK hit 29.3°C in May, I wasn’t surprised. My flat had already started feeling like a sauna by mid-afternoon. Thick walls, no breeze, zero airflow. The heat wasn’t just outside, it was trapped in my home.


The truth is, UK homes were designed to trap warmth, not release it. Thick walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and zero ventilation might help in January, but in summer they turn most flats into slow-cookers. The heat doesn’t just pass through — it settles in and stays.


I didn’t want to wait for it to get worse. I considered one of those premium £400 bladeless cooling systems, but the price was hard to justify.


Then I Found the Vortex Air™ AuraWave Hot + Cool


The AuraWave is Vortex’s newest model. Same bladeless tech, same heating, and same cooling. It looked just as sleek, promised the same features, and came in at a fraction of the cost.

Now I’ve used it for over a week, and I can see why it’s flying off shelves.

1. It Doesn’t Just Blow Air — It Circulates It Smoothly Across the Room

Most fans give you a blast of hot air in one spot. This device uses a wide-angle airflow system that quietly moves cool air around the entire room. It doesn’t just “feel cooler” — it actually is.

2. It’s Whisper-Quiet, Even on Higher Settings.

People who use it for sleep say it’s the quietest fan-like system they’ve ever used. No rattling. No mechanical buzz. Just a soft, low sound that disappears into the background.

3. It Has Built-In Heating for Year-Round Comfort

This isn’t just for summer. It also has a powerful heat setting, so when winter returns (as it always does), it doesn’t go back into storage. That alone makes it feel like a smarter buy.

4. It Looks Like High-End Tech, Without the High-End Price

This device was clearly designed to compete with those £400+ bladeless cooling systems, and it shows. It has the same sleek, modern design and dual heating and cooling features, but without the inflated price tag.


Most people are shocked at how premium it looks and feels for what it costs.

5. It Comes With a Remote, Timer, and Even Mood Lighting

The remote is intuitive and lets you control everything from bed or the sofa. There’s a timer for auto shutoff, and even ambient lighting built in. It’s functional and relaxing at the same time.


6. It’s Still in Stock — But Only Just

Earlier this May, the previous Vortex model completely sold out as soon as the first heatwave hit. This newer version is selling even faster. I got mine with free next-day delivery, but stock is already getting tight as temperatures rise again.
