Ad: Summer is officially here, and I’m always looking for ways to make my home feel like a little retreat, especially when the weather gets warmer, the days get longer, and I want to live my best life.
So when Very asked me to try out some of their must have home tech essentials for summer, I couldn’t resist. These gadgets are all about turning your space into a sanctuary, whether it’s staying fresh on hot days, adding calm to your morning routine, or just enjoying sunshiney vibes at home.
From cooling must haves to little luxuries, here’s what I’ve been trying out (and loving!) and why you might just want to upgrade your at home setup this season too.

☀️ 1. Shark FlexBreeze High-Velocity Hybrid Fan FA220UK
This has already been a game changer for me.
Not only does the Shark FlexBreeze fan look super sleek and minimal (I love a tech product that actually complements my decor), but it’s also one of the most powerful fans I’ve ever used. It has this brilliant hybrid design so you can use it plugged in or cord-free, which means it moves from bedroom to garden patio with ease which is a major bonus for me. Let me tell you, my bedroom is an absolute melting pot at night time and this has made it so much more comfortable.
With 5 fan speeds and a Breeze Mode that mimics natural wind, it’s ideal for creating a chilled, calming space, whether I’m working from home or unwinding with a glass of rosé in the evening. Quiet, powerful, and honestly quite pretty is how I'd sum it up. Also I love that this can be used as a tall fan standing on the floor or made in to a smaller table top version for popping on a desk while working. As an absolute bonus it has a water mister which can be attached to a hose pipe when outdoors to spray a fine mist and keep you cool if you are melting in the summer sun, now that is luxury!

Home Tip: As mentioned, my bedroom can be a melting pot in warmer weather. I have been using this near an open window at night and I find that it uses the cooler air from outside and circulates it in to the bedroom. It really helps with my sleep. It's like having my own air con system but much nicer looking and way quieter!
💨 2. Russell Hobbs Compact Dehumidifier and Air Purifier
Sometimes summer air can feel sticky, especially during humid spells. That’s where the Russell Hobbs Compact Dehumidifier and Air Purifier comes in to its own. I've been using this daily both in my bedroom and in my pod where I work (this is an area that sits under trees and can be susceptible to damp). Honestly, the air feels so much fresher and lighter. I love this because once again it looks sleek in the home and it's compact so super easy to move from room to room. It has a very easy to remove water tank and an automatic cut out once that's full.
It's genuinely impressive how much moisture this dehumidifier pulls from the air. I also love that it has a built-in air purifier. Like so many people, over the last few years I've really started struggling with hay fever especially and it's really helping with that. I’ve noticed fewer sniffles and just better air quality all round.
Home Tip: I run it in the bathroom after a hot shower and it works quietly in the background and leaves the space feeling so much better.
🔊 3. JBL GO 4 Compact Portable Speaker
Summer and great playlists just go together in my view. BBQs, beach days, getting ready with the windows open even working from home, they all need great tunes.
I've been loving the JBL Go 4 Portable Speaker which is tiny enough to toss into my handbag but packs a serious punch with its audio. It connects instantly via Bluetooth and the battery life is just brilliant. I got almost 7 hours out of one charge. It’s also water-resistant, which is a win for those classic British summer surprise showers.
Home Tip: I've been syncing it with my phone, playing myfavourite chill-out Spotify list, and popping it on while chilling outside. Instant holiday feel.
🌅 4. Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 Wake-up Light
I’ve always struggled with early mornings, especially when the blinds don’t quite block out the summer sun, but thehas genuinely helped reset my routine.
It mimics natural sunlight to help you wake up gradually, and there’s something incredibly calming about being woken by a soft, warm light instead of a phone alarm. I’ve been using this for about two weeks and I actually feel more refreshed, less groggy and more likely to follow my morning skincare routine properly.
Home Tip: I've been setting the wake up light to gradually light my room before my alarm. I then pair it with a calming playlist on the JBL Speaker to give me a really mindful start to my day.
🪥 5. Philips Sonicare 5300 Electric Toothbrush
I honestly love a new electric toothbrush because my teeth matter to me a lot. I suffered a lot of pain a while ago because I have a flaw in my jaw which makes my bite uneven and also had to have some work done to whiten one of my front teeth. After all that I'm pretty obsessed with keeping my teeth clean. So when I received the Philips Sonicare in my bundle I was pretty excited and I have to say, it's a wellness flex.
My teeth feel dentist-clean after every use, and have a post hygienist, glassy smooth kind of feel to them. The built-in pressure sensor means I’m not overdoing it and its got different brushing modes and even helps tackle staining over time. Some electric toothbrushes I've had have been weighty but the Philips Sonicare is surprisingly lightweight and comes with a neat travel case which is going to be perfect for my summer trips.
If the Philips one isn't exactly what you are looking for then Very have more toothbrush options here.
Self-Care Tip: Always floss first, it really does help remove all dirt and it's apparently very good for your general health.
Final Thoughts – Is This Home Tech Bundle Worth It?
I truly think the answer is yes!
