The electriQ bladeless fan is the perfect companion to keep you cool on those hot days and warm muggy nights. A tower fan can be more useful than a pedestal fan if you're planning on using it regularly as it will fit into a corner of a room without taking up much space and with a small footprint. The first is that the fan beeps when the settings are adjusted, which can be annoying late at night. This fan is super economical to run, in fact, it's actually around 10% cheaper to run than a standard fan and thanks to its built-in timer it helps save energy. Another is to place a fan with its back to an open window to draw in cool air and a second fan facing another window to blow the warmer air out.

If you need powerful cooling or a larger space, we would recommend HVF18B for a severe blast of cool air. If you like to switch up your speeds throughout the day, you'll love LOGIK's portable tower fan for its 12 speed setting.Its bladeless design is a fantastic safety element, making it perfect for homes with children and pets.

There’s no escaping it’s an expensive piece of kit, but actually, having got five years solid use out of it, I’d argue it’s pretty decent value for money. It has nine different speed settings (including a boost mode) and has an 8-hour timer to allow you to shut off the fan at your time of choice. It is super powerful with four modes and five fan speeds (it can reach up to 25 feet per seconds), and we found that it actually did make the room overall feel much cooler rather than just blowing lukewarm air around. As the air flows through the slits in the tube, air behind the fan is drawn through the tube, while air surrounding the edges of the fan will also flow in the direction of the breeze. Most fans do not work to cool down a room, as they have no way of cooling down the air – they only help it to circulate (which can produce a heat-wicking effect on skin).

However, if the remote operated at the same frequency as the smart TV remote, it rated lower since that can be frustrating. Then use the tube part of your vacuum cleaner to vacuum any vents that are visible around the base of the fan. This is a fan heater, an ideal year-round helper when your room is too hot or cold, providing a gentle cool breeze or high/low heating.

While not quite as impressive as a 12 hour timer, this will help you control the usage and, in turn, your energy bill. The electriQ bladeless air purifying tower fan is the perfect companion to keep you healthy and cool. The MeacoFan 1056, which also comes in desktop version for less, is proving very popular this summer but misses out on a higher spot on this list because it lacks a wider range of features and is surprisingly heavy – but, on the other hand, it’s significantly more affordable than the chart-topping Dyson and more powerful, too. Plus, if a rotary fan is knocked over, it’s not uncommon for the front grate to unclip and come off, exposing the blades.How powerful the bladeless fan is will depend on its motor and how efficiently it carries out the previous steps. On average though, a tower fan uses very little energy to run and will cost around 40p a day if it's on for 20 hours.

Although this is a large fan able to cool big spaces, it has a carry handle that makes it easy to transport it from room to room as needed. Where the data is available, look for a fan with a higher airflow than 150m³ per hour as a measure of its cooling power. With a lightweight build and carry handle at the top, it’s easy to move from room to room if needed. The best tower fans, on the other hand, tend to take up less space and make less noise, which is perfect if you're using them in the background when watching TV or trying to doze off. Tower fans are an economical choice to keep your home or office cool - plus, they don't take up too much space in your home.On this setting, the display lights are turned off and the fan speed is adjusted based on your stages of sleep. If a fan has only three speed settings, the leap between each option will be more noticeable – you may find only the lowest option is sufficiently quiet. It can oscillate 90° and also tilt through 15°, making it possible to angle as required; however, it does need to be positioned on a raised surface because at 68 cm tall it is more of a desk fan than a free-standing model.
