It’s no exaggeration to say that this is the king of pedestal fans. The first thing I notice (after how easy it is to assemble) is that it has both horizontal and vertical oscillation which, coupled with a powerful airflow of 1,653m³ph gives it unrivalled room-cooling capabilities. However it feels natural, like a gentle breeze. Finally, floor fans, which tend to be larger and so can cool a larger room - you might find them in gyms or conference centres.

Floor fans are similar to pedestal fans but without the adjustable stand. Simply place them on the floor for powerful airflow at a lower height. Floor fans are often used in garages, workshops, or larger areas that require heavy-duty cooling. They are larger and more robust compared to desk, pedestal or tower fans. A note on availability: during warm temperatures, many of the fans we recommend sell out. Where possible, we will recommend alternative retailers or similar fans. 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. This means that even the higher fan speeds are now quiet enough to use while concentrating on work or drifting off to sleep. 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. Tower fans are a better choice for bedrooms or living rooms, since they don’t take up much room on the floor but reach a larger area than a desk fan would.

When considering how best to keep cool, keep in mind your room size, climate and personal preferences. There are a number of advantages to both fans and air conditioners: Air quality - air conditioning systems often include air filters and purifying functions to capture dust, pollen and other allergens. If you suffer from hay fever, asthma or pet allergies, consider an air conditioner.

Energy efficiency - AC require a significant amount of electricity to run, especially in hot climates and larger houses. Fans consume much less energy.It has an easy-to-use sleep timer and an ‘Auto’ mode that adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature. However, the reason I loved it is that you genuinely want to have on display. Let’s face it, fans aren’t always stylish, but the Dyson’s bladeless loop is a thing of beauty. Other details are also well thought out, right down to the compact remote that can be stored magnetically on top of the fan. As soon as the temperature breaches 20 degrees in the UK, everyone goes looking for the best fan to cool their bedroom or workspace. Compared to air conditioning, electric fans are cheaper, smaller, lighter, more energy efficient (most costing around 1p an hour to run) and have an instant cooling effect on sweaty skin. American 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. Honeywell fans are known for being quiet without sacrificing on power. Yes, desk fans are generally the cheapest and lowest-powered but are usually the best choice at close range. (There are also handheld fans, handy in a sweltering tube train, but so low-powered that we don’t review them here.)

Fans are used for circulating air, this allows your sweat to evaporate faster and leaves you feeling cooler. Although an electric fan doesn't technically cool the air, you'll feel cooler as a result! Finally, if we’re honest, not many fans look nice. 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. Secondly, look for a quiet fan: generally they range between 20dB at low fan speeds to 70dB at high speed. 20dB is about the same as a human whisper, 70dB is loud enough to hear over the chatter in an office. COVERAGE: The plan covers all defects & malfunctions under the original manufacturer’s warranty. The plan starts the day after the manufacturer’s warranty ends. It does not cover physical or liquid damage, accessories, consumables or parts that are not covered under the standard manufacturer’s warranty. The Dyson makes my living room feel degrees cooler in an instant by projecting over 290 litres of air a second. I can really feel the difference compared with less powerful devices.

The con of bladeless fans is they tend to be much more expensive owing to the technology. If you can afford it, bladeless fans take the edge for us, but a regular blade fan is perfectly adequate.
