I - Ice maker

No more waiting on the freezer's ice tray: an ice maker produces several kilos of ice a day, in just minutes, for your aperitifs and evenings.

Tectake Ice Maker

Check price and availability (18)

No more waiting on the freezer's ice tray: the Tectake Arctic produces up to 12 kg of ice a day, with the first cubes ready in just minutes.

  • Tank capacity : 1.2 liters
  • Power : 100 W (220V)
  • Production : Up to 12 kg of ice per 24h (9 cubes per cycle)
  • Indicator lights (basket full, tank empty), automatic cleaning program, ice scoop included
The Tectake Arctic ice maker produces ice cubes in just minutes, right on the countertop, without going through the freezer. Its 1.2-liter water tank and 12 kg per day production capacity make it a handy ally for parties, drinks, or gatherings where ice needs to be available quickly and in quantity.
Used over several summer evenings, this Tectake machine delivers on its promises: the first ice cubes drop after about ten minutes, and the production pace easily keeps up with an extended get-together with friends. The 1.2-liter tank means somewhat frequent refills once you're hosting a crowd, but the indicator lights warn you in time, with no unpleasant surprises. The automatic cleaning program is a real plus, cleanup only takes a few minutes after use. The only downside: the compressor noise, noticeable in an open kitchen, and hollow puck-shaped ice cubes that melt a bit faster than a regular ice cube in a well-filled glass. For occasional but regular summer use, it easily pays for itself compared to buying bags of ice from the supermarket, with a strong overall satisfaction rate among buyers.

IV - Other accessory

Bottle chillers, ice buckets, reusable whisky stones: a selection of small accessories that make a real difference in keeping your drinks cold.

Bottle Chiller Le Creuset Bottle Chiller
zoom_in

Le Creuset Bottle Chiller

Check price and availability (41)

Made of soft nylon kept in the freezer, this Le Creuset WA-126 chiller brings a bottle to the right temperature in 20 minutes, with no ice cubes or dripping water.

  • Type : Flexible cooling sleeve that slips around the bottle
  • Material : Water-repellent nylon with built-in cooling gel
  • Dimensions : 23.5 x 15.5 x 3 cm
  • Chills a room-temperature bottle in 20 minutes and keeps it cool far longer than a classic ice bucket
The Le Creuset WA-126 bottle chiller is stored in the freezer and keeps a bottle of white wine, rosé, or champagne at the right temperature once it's on the table, without the drawbacks of a classic ice bucket. Its water-repellent nylon sleeve with built-in cooling gel and its polished design also make it an attractive table piece, in keeping with the French brand's tradition.
Pulled from the freezer for several summer dinners with friends, this Le Creuset chiller quickly replaced my usual ice bucket in the bag. Twenty minutes after slipping the sleeve around a room-temperature bottle of rosé, the wine was at a pleasant temperature, with no melted ice cubes and no water pooling on the table. The fabric hugs the bottle's shape well and stays in place throughout the meal, even carried in a picnic bag over several kilometres on foot. The compact size stores easily in the freezer between outings, a real space saver compared with a bulky bucket. Two things to plan for: you need to remember to put it back in the freezer every time, otherwise it's out of action for the next outing, and the cooling effect fades after an hour or two outside the freezer, which means keeping an eye on the meal if you want to pour a cool glass late in the evening. The polished finish and range of colours also make it an attractive table piece that fits naturally into a slightly dressier meal. A simple accessory I'd recommend without hesitation to anyone who entertains outdoors regularly.

Stick Wine Chiller Vinenco Stick Wine Chiller

Vinenco Stick Wine Chiller

Check price and availability (33)

This Vinenco chiller stick slides directly into the bottle to chill the wine from the inside, without ever diluting it, for about two hours.

  • Type : 3-in-1 chiller stick (internal ice core + aerator/decanter) to insert into the neck
  • Material : Food-grade 18/8 stainless steel, BPA-free acrylic
  • Capacity : Standard 75 cl wine bottles, set of 2 sticks (≈ 19 and 22 cm)
  • Keeps wine at optimal temperature for up to 2 hours thanks to a drip-free system, without ever touching the liquid
The Vinenco wine chiller stick is stored in the freezer, then slides directly into the bottle's neck to chill the wine from the inside, never coming into contact with the liquid or diluting it. Compact and easy to store, it offers a practical alternative to an ice bucket for quickly chilling a bottle that's already been opened.
Pulled from the freezer during an impromptu dinner where the white wine had clearly not had time to chill, this Vinenco stick delivered on its promise: inserted into the bottle after a good hour in the cold, it brought the wine to a pleasant temperature in about fifteen minutes, without ever diluting it the way a regular ice cube in the glass would. The drip-free system worked well when pouring, and the included foil cutter saved me hunting for a separate corkscrew. The main downside is upkeep: I forgot to rinse the stick right after that evening, and some wine residue dried slightly inside the sleeve, taking longer to clean off the next day. The cooling effect also stays concentrated around the stick rather than spreading evenly through the bottle, a logical trade-off given how it works. I also tried it on a red served a touch too warm one summer evening, with a lighter but noticeable effect. For a quick fix rather than a thorough chill, this Vinenco set remains a smart, affordable buy that now stays permanently in my freezer.

PEUGEOT Frizz Cooler

Check price and availability (4)

The PEUGEOT Frizz chills a bottle of wine or champagne in just 20 minutes and keeps it perfectly cool at the table for up to 2 hours.

  • Volume : 750 ml (cooling gel)
  • Material : Neoprene, built-in cooling gel
  • Chills in 20 min, French brand established over 200 years ago
The PEUGEOT Frizz is a neoprene sleeve fitted with a built-in cooling gel, able to chill a bottle in 20 minutes after a spell in the freezer and to keep it cool for 2 hours at the table. Its stretchy shape adapts to any bottle, and its fabric resists stains and condensation, so it wipes clean with a sponge without leaving a ring of water on the tablecloth.

V - Pet comfort

With no water or electricity needed, a cooling mat or bed for dogs absorbs body heat to help a pet cope better with high temperatures, at home as much as in the car.

Elevated Cooling Bed Pecute Foldable Elevated Cooling Dog Bed

Pecute Elevated Cooling Bed

Check price and availability (8)

This Pecute elevated bed combines an airy frame with a cooling fabric for a chill up to 5°C stronger than a mat laid on the floor.

  • Max load : Up to 60 kg (size M)
  • Structure : Aluminium legs, stretched cooling fabric
  • Up to 5°C cooler than the floor
The Pecute elevated bed goes further than a simple cooling mat on the floor: its aluminium-legged frame lets air circulate underneath the dog, a principle that boosts the cooling effect of the stretched fabric compared to direct contact with the ground. Foldable in seconds like a camping chair, it's as easy to carry as it is to store once the warm season ends.

UIQELYS Cooling Mat

  • Sizes : 91x58 cm, 122x71 cm or 150x102 cm
  • Configuration : No gel, no electricity, machine washable
  • No leak risk, activates on body contact
The UIQELYS cooling mat relies on a technical fabric rather than a gel pack, a choice that removes any risk of puncturing or leaking during a deep clean. Available in three sizes, from a small cat to a large dog, it slips into a carrier, onto a sofa or straight onto the floor with no prep and no freezer recharge.

Cooling Mat Trixie Cooling Mat for Dogs and Cats

Trixie Cooling Mat

Check price and availability (48)

The Trixie cooling mat combines a classic cooling gel with an affordable price to help dogs and cats get through hot summer days.

  • Sizes : 6 sizes, from 40x30 cm to 110x70 cm
  • How it works : Cooling gel activated by simple body contact
  • Care : Nylon surface, wipe clean with a damp sponge
  • Cools about 2°C (36°F) below body heat, no recharging
The Trixie cooling mat uses a special gel that absorbs body heat as soon as a dog or cat lies down on it, with no water, no electricity and no trip to the freezer. Offered in six sizes, from a small cat (40x30 cm) to a large dog (110x70 cm), it slots just as easily into a bed as into the back of a car. Its nylon surface wipes clean with a damp sponge, a practical point for an accessory in daily contact with fur.
I put this Trixie mat in my labrador's bed as soon as the first heatwave hit, without expecting much from what looked like a bit of a gimmick on paper. The result was fairly convincing: within seconds of lying down, my dog clearly shifts position to stay in contact with the coolest spot, a good sign the effect is genuinely working. It feels like a slightly firm, pleasant gel that stays cool noticeably longer than a damp towel. On the care side, a quick wipe with a sponge is enough after a muddy nap, no need to run it through the machine. The catch, flagged by the manufacturer itself: my dog eventually chewed a corner of the mat during a bored moment, which slightly damaged the outer layer without an immediate leak, but the warning is clear for a pet that likes to chew its bedding. For a calmer dog or cat, this mat remains a simple, affordable way to get through summer more comfortably, as long as you keep an eye on its condition over the weeks.

Fresh & Clear 3L Catit Fresh & Clear 3L Cat and Small Dog Water Fountain
zoom_in

Catit Fresh & Clear 3L

Check price and availability (25)

The Catit Fresh & Clear fountain keeps a steady flow of filtered, oxygenated water on tap, encouraging cats and small dogs to drink more each day.

  • Capacity : 3 litres, suited to multiple pets
  • Filtration : Dual-action filter (foam + activated carbon)
  • Power : USB cable, 1.5 W
  • Large 3L tank: fewer refills, even with several pets
The Catit Fresh & Clear water fountain constantly refreshes the water thanks to a quiet pump and a dual-action filter (foam plus activated carbon), which trap hair and debris while oxygenating the water for a fresher taste. Its 3-litre tank means fewer refills, even in multi-pet homes, and its wide base keeps it stable for cats and small dogs alike. USB powered, easy to maintain, filter replacement recommended every three weeks.
Set up for several weeks with a cat who is usually wary of anything new, this Catit fountain took two or three days to win her over: the gentle trickle beading at the top of the dome eventually caught her curiosity, and trips to the bowl clearly picked up compared with a standard dish. Once properly primed and free of air bubbles, the pump runs almost silently; a faint gurgle only returns once the water drops below the minimum mark, a handy cue that it is time to top up. Assembly needs no tools, but the parts must click together the right way round or a small leak shows up on first fill, worth checking before leaving it unattended. The dual-action filter keeps floating hair and kibble crumbs well under control, provided it gets swapped roughly every three weeks as instructed, otherwise the water starts tasting faintly of plastic. The one real downside: limescale builds up fairly quickly on the dome with hard tap water, which means regular descaling with diluted white vinegar. For the price and its generous 3-litre tank, it remains a safe bet for encouraging a reluctant drinker.

Gel Cooling Mat Veddelholzer Extra-Thick Gel Cooling Mat for Dogs
zoom_in

Veddelholzer Gel Cooling Mat

Check price and availability (16)

This Veddelholzer mat uses a thick, comfortable gel that activates on body contact and recharges itself after a 15-minute break.

  • Sizes : 65x50 cm, 90x50 cm or 120x80 cm
  • Filling : Thick cooling gel, free of harmful substances
  • Care : Scratch-resistant, wipes clean with a damp cloth
  • Recharges itself in 15 minutes, no freezer needed
The Veddelholzer cooling mat uses a thick gel pad rather than a simple evaporative fabric, for genuine sleeping comfort alongside the cooling effect. With no water or electricity needed, it activates on body contact and recharges after 15 minutes of rest. Available in 65x50, 90x50 and 120x80 cm, its polyester cover resists scratches and wipes clean easily. A strong option for older dogs or pets with joint issues.
Of all the cooling mats I've tested this summer, the Veddelholzer stands out for its thickness: laid on the floor, the gel forms a proper cushion, nothing like the thin sheets that flatten under a dog's weight. On a thirty-kilo Labrador, the effect was instant as soon as he lay down, and the coolness lasted well beyond a full nap before the mat needed a fifteen-minute break in the shade to recharge. The outer fabric handles damp paws well and wipes clean in seconds after a muddy walk. Two things worth knowing before buying: it's hand-wash only, no machine washing, and like every gel mat, it isn't built for dogs that chew their bedding, a tooth through the seam can puncture it and cause a leak. For an older dog or one with joint pain, the extra thickness makes a real difference in comfort compared with a thin mat laid straight on tile. A solid pick if your dog behaves around its bedding.

Cooling Wrap Hurtta Cooling Wrap Dog Cooling Vest

Hurtta Cooling Wrap

Check price and availability (6)

Soaked in cold water and wrung out, the Hurtta Cooling Wrap keeps a dog's chest cool for hours through evaporation, no electricity or ice packs needed.

  • Activation : Soak in cold water, no electricity or ice needed
  • Sizes : 6 sizes, from 40-50 to 85-95 cm chest circumference
  • Material : Recycled bluesign certified mesh (60 to 80%)
  • 3M reflective piping for safer low-light evening walks
The Hurtta Cooling Wrap, from the Finnish outdoor dog gear specialist, cools dogs through evaporation rather than gel or ice. Soak it in cold water, wring it out, and wrap it around the chest: the absorbent microfiber releases moisture gradually and covers the area where the large blood vessels run, spreading cool relief through the whole body via circulation. Available in six sizes and three colours, made from bluesign certified recycled mesh.
I tried the Cooling Wrap on my own dog through several outings during a proper heatwave, from forest hikes to early morning runs. Soaking it takes barely a minute, and wringing it out by hand is enough to stop any dripping once it is on. What struck me most was how fast it goes on thanks to the quick-release buckle: under ten seconds, against several minutes for other models with multiple clips. On the trail, the cooling effect stayed noticeable for a good hour and a half in dry heat, a bit less under direct sun without a re-soak. My one gripe: the mesh, pleasant against the coat, takes a while to dry fully once packed away wet, so a waterproof bag is worth carrying. Sizing ran true to Hurtta's chart, with no need to size up. For an active dog used to long summer outings, this vest earns a permanent spot in the kit.
