Tower fans work by blowing air over your skin, making living, working and sleeping more comfortable when the thermometer rises. Feel The Coolness】Features dual fans to maximize air movement and deliver strong airflow throughout the stuffy space in high summer. 3 speed options (high-medium-low) provide tailored cooling-off experience to beat the heat. COOLING SPEEDS: Equipped with low, medium or high speed settings to deliver efficient cooling in all situations, giving you cooler summer days and blissful nights, providing comfort all day All the fans on our list rotate to some extent, but the models with greater ranges of motion can help improve the comfort of several people at once. For a living room, try the Dyson Purifier Cool Auto React, which rotates just shy of 360 degrees. Weight Not all fans do this, but some, including every Dyson and the SmartAir, also help to clean the air they're distributing. Some have filters that trap pollutants, while the Dimplex Ion Fresh Cooling Tower Fan freshens air around it by emitting neutralising ions. Do fans use a lot of electricity?

Firstly, we consider its power, looking at the strength of each setting and the difference between them. To do this, we use an anemometer to understand how much air it blows, measured in feet per minute. The greater the range of speeds and the wider the difference between them, the more you can adjust the fan to suit you. The Faywood is a chic ceiling fan in a modern style for rooms up to 12 m2. A quiet-running, high-quality motor with 3-speed levels provides pleasantly cool indoor temperatures in summer mode and distributes heat evenly in winter mode – which saves a huge amount on heating costs, even with open fireplaces or wood-burning stoves. A contemporary ceiling fan with high-quality materials: three beautifully shaped reversible blades in wenge and beech, chrome housing surfaces, and a single lamp with opal frosted glass make this model from brand manufacturer Westinghouse an attractive home accessory. The Faywood comes factory-equipped with a pull switch to control the light and speed, but these settings can also be adjusted via remote control or a wall switch. Like Princess’ traditional tower fan below, this connects to a user-friendly app and is compatible with voice control. It also feels sturdy and has a good range of air strengths. It's not tall though, and it only oscillates 50 degrees, meaning it works best when positioned nearby and directed at one or two people.

You’re never guaranteed a scorching summer in the UK, but when the heat hits, the best fans will keep you cool, calm and collected. Indeed, a good blast of air from a decent fan can keep things bearable and help you get some shuteye when the mercury is rising. Here we’ve rounded up the best fans on the market so that you can find the perfect desk fan for your office, tower fan for your lounge, or whisper-quiet fan to help you sleep at night.

Key specs – Dimensions: 38 x 28 x 28cm; Weight: 3.4kg; Oscillation angle: 90 degrees vertical/ 90 degrees horizontal; Cord length: 2m; Warranty: 2 years; Power: 14WSLEEK & DURABLE: Mini Tower Fan with a sleek and stylish design, featuring a durable motor technology protected by a safety guard, ensuring quality performance while delivering a gentle and refreshing cool breeze, free from dust gathering The more settings, the greater control you’ll have over the fan’s air flow. Look for a minimum of three – any more and our tester found the differences between them negligible. Modes Lastly, a panel of testers sit in a room kept at 30 degrees with each fan for half an hour and assess how comfortable it makes them (yes, really). Every model is then scored according to its performance, ease of use, design and product information.

Whisper-Quiet Cooling】Produces a right amount of white noises (less than 60db) even if the tower fan projects high-velocity airflow, bringing maximum comfort to you for a sound sleep. We measure each fan’s noise levels to find the quietest models for dozing off to, as well as its energy efficiency to find out how affordable it is to run, and its oscillation range to see how well the fan distributes air around a room. Choose from 3 different modes: Normal, Sleep, and Nature. The Normal mode provides constant airflow, while the Sleep mode gradually decreases the fan speed for a quieter operation. The Nature mode simulates a natural breeze, creating a relaxing and calming environment. Assembly is easy, and connecting it to your smartphone and Wi-Fi network using the GeoSmartPro app is a simple enough process. 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. It’s also compatible with Alexa and Google Home devices, although you can’t alter as many settings using your voice as you can when using the app or physical controls.Many fans offer different breeze styles, allowing you to adjust the feel of the air. For example, the SmartAir Cool+ Purify Bladeless Tower Fan has four different modes on top of its air settings, including a day mode and a night mode. The latter is a key one to look out for as it sets the fan to operate at a quieter volume, and sometimes dims the display, limiting any disruption to your sleep. Oscillation Fans aren’t generally that expensive to run – even the most powerful models we’ve tested use around 40W when running at maximum speed. However, the most energy-efficient models we’ve tested consume under 20W at full blast and less than 5W at their lowest speed, which could make a difference to your bills if you’re running the fan all summer long. You can also keep your costs low by using any timer features, which can be set to shut the fan off after a set period. We’ve even seen some fans that can regulate their speed according to the ambient temperature, or that have a sleep setting where the fan slows down gradually over the course of the night. Auto-Off Timers】Comes with 3 timer options, including 2H, 4H, and 8H, to enable this desk fan to circulate muggy air at night for improved ventilation and lasting coolness at your bedside. You can also change fan speed with the remote and these range from one (which is virtually silent) to ten and are indicated on the circular OLED status panel set into the base. Keep this in mind if you’re after a fan you can easily move around the house. If it’s going to stay in one place, a heavier one should be fine, but opt for a lightweight model if you’ll be carrying it between rooms every day. Smart capabilities
