11/18/2023 0 Comments 12 inch battery powered fanI love the matte black finish, although it also comes in a traditional glossy white ( £169, Very). This relatively affordable pedestal fan has a lot going for it – it’s quiet, sturdy, can be controlled via a smartphone app (or your voice) and has a whopping 26 speed settings, plus a ‘natural’ mode that creates a varying breeze-like effect. Pedestal fan, 88cm tall converts to desk fan, 51cm tall.If all you want is something to take the edge of the heat without spending a fortune, this is it. I really dislike loud fans that take over the room – sometimes I’d rather just sweat – but this TurboForce was quiet enough that I could sit it in a corner of a room and barely have to acknowledge it other than the gentle breeze which came my way. For a small fan, the TurboForce is relatively powerful and has a 90 degree oscillating head. It even comes with a wall mount, if you’d prefer it on a wall. This TurboForce Power Fan weighs just over a kilogram and is small enough to sit on a window ledge, on your bedside table or bring into the office for your desk. Honeywell fans are known for being quiet without sacrificing on power. But its superior performance coupled with the fact that it’s the best looking means that if you are looking to spend more, this is a fan that’s worth the premium price tag.Īmerican brand Honeywell is one of the biggest names in the world for fans (and heaters), known best for its commercial products but increasingly popular in the domestic space. The only downside is that it’s a significant outlay. Other details are also well thought out, right down to the compact remote that can be stored magnetically on top of the fan. Let’s face it, fans aren’t always stylish, but the Dyson’s bladeless loop is a thing of beauty. However, the reason I loved it is that you genuinely want to have on display. It has an easy-to-use sleep timer and an ‘Auto’ mode that adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature. On the very highest of the 10 settings there is still some noise, as with all the fans we tried, but that is what earplugs are for. This means that even the higher fan speeds are now quiet enough to use while concentrating on work or drifting off to sleep. The bladeless Air Multiplier concept has undergone a bit of a redesign, with a slightly slower motor that makes less noise and a ‘Helmholtz cavity’ (good old Helmholtz, eh) to dampen the sound even further. I can really feel the difference compared with less powerful devices. The Dyson makes my living room feel degrees cooler in an instant by projecting over 290 litres of air a second. The British airflow experts’ products are consistently popular and this one tends to sell out each summer – but (for now) is back in stock. It will probably come as no surprise to see Dyson’s sought-after fan at the top of this list. Where possible, we will recommend alternative retailers or similar fans. If you’re buying one for your home, consider biting the bullet price-wise and investing in a futuristic, bladeless Dyson or an unobtrusive tower fan.Ī note on availability: during warm temperatures, many of the fans we recommend sell out. 20dB is about the same as a human whisper, 70dB is loud enough to hear over the chatter in an office.įinally, if we’re honest, not many fans look nice. Secondly, look for a quiet fan: generally they range between 20dB at low fan speeds to 70dB at high speed. Most of the fans we recommend are three to ten times more powerful than that on their highest settings. Where the data is available, look for a fan with a higher airflow than 150m³ per hour as a measure of its cooling power.
