Its bladeless design makes it quieter than some similar fans (meaning fewer distracting noises at the home office). While it’s one of the taller tower fans we’ve tested, it’s worth making room for Levoit’s 36-inch Tower Fan.

From there, you can create daily schedules, preset modes and even auto-modes that will switch the fan on to a custom setting when specific weather conditions are met. If the main thing you want a fan to do is not take up too much space as it quietly does its job in the corner, Dimplex’s super-skinny and catchily named DXMBCF is the one to go for.Equinox fan does not only help to circulate cool indoor air in the summer, let them help to circulate your heated air during winter too! This includes, but is not limited to, the following postcodes: BT, GY, HS, IV, IM, JE, KA, KW, PA, PH, SI, TR, ZE.

All it takes is a tap of the touch-sensitive button on the base, which switches between fan mode and three heat settings.Stylishly designed to discreetly complement modern interior design schemes, the Sapphire fan offers exceptionally high levels of energy efficient performance and operate very quietly. As soon as the temperature breaches 20 degrees in the UK, everyone goes looking for the best fan to cool their bedroom or workspace.

This means there’s less height and height adjustment than on other pedestal fans, but the Duux more than makes up for it with its versatility and efficient cooling. It’s taller, slimmer and quieter than the similar electriQ below and less likely to sell out than the John Lewis tower fan above.

Therefore a good ventilation system will help prolong the life of your bathroom accessories and provide a much healthier environment. Most tower fans also come with a remote control so you can manage airflow without unsticking yourself from the sofa.

Finally, floor fans, which tend to be larger and so can cool a larger room - you might find them in gyms or conference centres.Having assembled the fan and set it up, we measure the speed of the airflow through the fan at a distance of 1m with an anemometer, being sure to test at both maximum and minimum speed settings, plus a medium setting. Some even tilt upwards and downwards as they do so, although this and the angle of oscillation will differ from fan to fan. In fact, the only reason it’s not at the top of this list is that it’s less powerful than the Dyson and takes a certain amount of assembly – although I dealt with that in less than five minutes. Otherwise, they’re very similar to desk fans and have the same kind of features – in fact, there’s plenty of overlap between the two.
