oscillation to cool any room: Whether you want cool, fresh air circulated around your whole room or need a cool breeze directly at you on a hot summer’s day, you’ll have refreshing air exactly where you want it. They’re also much lighter, averaging around 6-7kg rather than 20-30kg, and require no complicated set-up – although it’s wise to leave a door or window open to avoid too much humidity building up in the room, reducing their effectiveness.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.

Note that fans don’t generate cool air (apart from this Princess model, which houses a water tank), so limit their usage to when you’re in the room and can feel the benefits. It’s intuitive to use and the integrated smart tech adjusts the air flow according to the room temperature.

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.

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).It’s not the most stable of units, and it had a smaller oscillation capacity at 70 degrees, but testers liked its digital room temperature display. This reaction cools the air, which is blown into the room and can reduce the temperature by 2-3 degrees, as well as providing a ‘sea breeze’ cooling effect as the moist air passes over you.
