This model will automatically purify the air, thanks to its sensors, dealing with dust, gasses and, new to this mode, formaldehyde. There’s a remote control, but you can use the app, Alexa or Google Assistant, too. Dyson fans all look so distinctive with their bladeless heads that you can put a hand through that theDyson Pure Cool Meimmediately looks different thanks to its ball head. The reason for the design change is that the fan uses Dyson’s Core Flow technology, which lets the convex surface direct a fine stream of air exactly where you want it, making it perfect for personal cooling. Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets

Plus, the Princess Smart Air Cooler costs a lot less to run than an air conditioner. We measured power and this air conditioner will cost around 2p per hour to run at current costs. If you wish to return your item to Robert Dyas, you can do so by one of the following methods: 1.

The size is powerful enough to keep you cool but mall enough to transport to any location needed. We measured fan speed on maximum at 3.08m/s at 15cm, dropping to 1.31m/s at 1m. That’s pretty good, and enough air flow that you can feel this fan across a room, although there are more powerful fans on this list. On the minimum speed, the fan runs at 1.31m/s at 15cm, which is actually a little too powerful and we’d have preferred a greater range in performance.

With that understanding, this list congregates all of that experience to bring you the 13 best fans that are currently on the market, but there’s even more criteria to meet beyond that. Instead of just populating this list with a handful of great fans, we’ve made sure to isolate the ones that not only work best under different scenarios, but the ones that are better suited to certain budgets as well. Fans make you feel cooler by helping sweat evaporate from your body. How effective a fan is, depends largely on how humid it is. When there’s high humidity, it’s hard for sweat to evaporate, so a fan doesn’t do much to help cool you. This is why on humid days we tend to think of them as being hot and sweaty. Conversely, when humidity is lower, it’s much easier for evaporation to happen, which is when fans feel the most effective.There are controls at the base of the fan although these are a little confusing: you have to tap, rather than hold, the power button to change modes. Fortunately, there’s a remote control in the box, which makes it easier to use the Duux Globe. Measured on its highest setting, we detected air flor at 1.7m/s at 1m away. At this kind of power, this fan can cool more than one person. Impressively, the fan is also quiet: just 48.5dB from 1m away, and 40.8dB on its minimum speed: that’s barely a whisper. Our only complaint is that the fan makes a slightly waspy noise in operation.

Unlike a fan, which can’t affect the actual temperature, the evaSMART can reduce the temperature of the air it blows at you: we measured a 3C drop. This is a small amount, but the cooling envelope of air around us made us feel much cooler than if we’d just used a fan. Add the battery, and the Wave 2 runs without needing a plug. I got over two ours on maximum mode; on Eco mode, it can run for up to eight hours. You can charge it via a solar panel, making this a complete off-grid solution. The EcoFlow Wave 2 is not cheap, but if you want a highly versatile air conditioning unit, there’s nothing quite like this. There is a remote control and a display that shows you what the current temperature and fan setting is. This display is a little hard to read, but we can forgive this minor issue, given how good the fan is. Even better, the VonHaus 35″ Tower Fan is one of the cheapest fans that we’ve tested, too. If you’re after a powerful tower fan at a great price, look no further. Perfect for night-time use, the tower fan is super quiet and features a 40, 80 or 120 minute timer that allows you to go to sleep safe in the knowledge that the fan will turn off after a predetermined time. The timer can also be turned off all together. Simple but effective, the fan comes in a glossy white colour, and features easy to use dial controls which make operating the fan a breeze. On a sturdy free standing base with a durable construction, the fan is stable and safe to use, even on full power. With its ergonomic design, compact size meaning you can fit it in even if you're short on floor space and 3 speed settings, this Status Tower Fan is a must-have for the Summer months and features a generous 1.8 metres of cable.

The Princess Smart Air Cooler is a powerful fan, too. At 1m away, the fan is capable of blowing air at between 2.5m/s and 4.1m/s, so you can feel its full effect even in a larger room. We didn’t find this fan noisy, but it does have a slightly annoying whine to it. Sitting somewhere between an air conditioning unit and a fan, the Princess Smart Air Cooler uses a tank of water to cool the air through evaporation. This makes it more effective than just a fan on a hot summer’s day, although this model is also a powerful fan in its own right. Controls are simple on this device: three power settings and three timers (two, four or eight hours). There’s no remote control or oscillation; if you want those features, look elsewhere on the list. If you want a cheap, small, tower fan, this is a great choice.
