Product Information

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. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalised and consistent web experience.

If you’re looking for a desk or table fan, the GreenTech Environmental PureFlow is an excellent option. Three speed settings and a built-in thermostat with LED lights help control room temperature (and save energy), and the expandable side panels can add up to 6. While it’s one of the taller tower fans we’ve tested, it’s worth making room for Levoit’s 36-inch Tower Fan. The Pure Cool Me might seem expensive for a personal cooling fan, but it does have one important trick up its sleeve: air purification. The touch pad is located on the fan fascia for easy touch and it can also be activated by the light switch or smart humidity sensing.Unlike most pedestal fans, it can oscillate on both the horizontal and vertical axes, giving it more scope to push air around the room. It’s taller, slimmer and quieter than the similar electriQ below and less likely to sell out than the John Lewis tower fan above. 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. Treehugger is dedicated to helping our readers find the best solutions for heating and cooling with the fewest possible planet-heating emissions. By passing all the air it draws in through the large “activated carbon” and HEPA filters in the base of the fan, it can remove all sorts of domestic pollution from the air as it cools, from allergens such as pollen to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and NO2.

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. From personal mini fans and tower fans to super-powerful, industrial-style fans, the Pro Breeze fans are designed to be energy-efficient, simple to operate and most importantly effective.Think about your needs and room layout in advance, and look for a lightweight, portable fan if you plan to move it around with you during the day. Different fans will also expel air at different angles, with some pushing it around a bigger space and others focusing their power in a narrow cone. But the good news is that these smaller units tend to use very little energy compared to ACs or other appliances. There are a few easy ways to maximize a fan’s efficiency, such as changing the direction the blades rotate (for ceiling fans).

The touch controls are simple but effective and the basic remote perfectly usable, but you only get three speed settings and just 85˚ of oscillation. 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 isn’t the perfect fan for sleeping – even at its lowest setting, it’s far from silent – but it’s fine for cooling down a small living room or taking heat out of the bedroom before going to bed.
