As temperatures climb and heat waves become more frequent across much of the United States, staying cool is no longer just about turning up the air conditioning. Small changes, like avoiding the oven during the hottest parts of the day, improving indoor air quality when wildfire smoke or high pollen levels move in, and using cooling technology indoors and outdoors, can make a noticeable difference in comfort and energy use.
From cooking without heating up the kitchen to keeping dust and allergens under control, the latest Shark and Ninja gadgets offer practical ways to beat the summer heat while making everyday life a little easier.Here are seven tech products worth considering this summer:
Shark ChillPill™ 3-in-1 Personal Cooling System
When temperatures soar, personal cooling can make a big difference, especially during commutes, outdoor events or travel. The Shark ChillPill combines three cooling technologies in one compact device: a high-speed fan, a dry-touch misting attachment and an InstaChill cooling plate that can lower skin temperature on contact. Wear it, carry it or set it on a table for hands-free relief, making it one of the most versatile gadgets for beating the summer heat. Shark says the cooling plate can reduce skin temperature by up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit in seconds, while the rechargeable battery provides up to 11 hours of runtime on lower settings.
Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop with NeverTouch Pro Base
Summer means more sand, grass clippings, pollen, and pet hair getting tracked into the house. The NeverTouch robot vacuum and mop cleans floors automatically while minimizing the need for daily sweeping and mopping, helping keep your home cleaner with little effort.
GE Profile Opal Ultra, Countertop Nugget Ice Make
For those who love cold beverages, LG's Craft Ice technology produces large, slow-melting spherical ice that keeps drinks colder longer without watering them down as quickly as traditional cubes. It's a premium feature for everything from iced coffee to cocktails and sparkling water, making it a welcome addition during the hottest months of the year.
Shark NeverChange Air Purifier
Wildfire smoke, summer allergens and poor air quality can make spending time indoors less comfortable. The NeverChange Air Purifier captures airborne particles while featuring a long-lasting filtration system designed to reduce the need for frequent filter replacements.
Whether you're relaxing on the patio, grilling or spending time by the pool, the FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan delivers cordless cooling with an integrated misting system that helps you feel cooler outdoors. It can also be used indoors to improve airflow during especially hot afternoons.Ninja CRISPi Glass
One of the easiest ways to keep your home cooler is to skip the oven. The Ninja CRISPi cooks meals in reusable glass containers that go directly from air frying to serving and storing leftovers, helping reduce heat in the kitchen while making meal prep easier.
Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker
Nothing beats an icy drink on a scorching day. The Ninja SLUSHi prepares frozen lemonades, smoothies, frappés, mocktails and cocktails without blending ice, making it easy to cool off at home or entertain guests.
After a day in the sun, skin can feel dehydrated, irritated and puffy. The Shark CryoGlow combines red light therapy with cooling under-eye pads to help soothe heat-stressed skin while targeting fine lines, blemishes and signs of fatigue.
