We’ve been impressed with Evapolar’s previous personal evaporative coolers, and the Evapolar evaSMART is the best yet. It’s a little expensive compared to other evaporative coolers, but its smart features and envelope of cold air make it well worth the cash.

Although its DC motor means a more expensive initial outlay, as a result, the EcoAir Kinetic uses just 1-18 watts of energy to run, making this the most affordable fan we've tested in terms of running costs. Sliding the plastic disc up and down lets you point the air flow where you want it. There’s also a 90-degree oscillation mode, so you can sweep the air around. The benefits of the new system are three-fold. First, you can sit in a bubble of cooling air; secondly, on oscillation mode, the fan doesn’t blow bits of paper on your desk everywhere; third, the fan is far smaller than Dyson’s previous desktop models. ENERGY-SAVING TIMER - Utilize our fan's 1-9 hour timer to conserve energy, whether to stay cool during hot days or to enjoy peaceful, undisturbed sleep at night with our cooling and heating fan. Why should you invest in one of the most expensive fans in our round-up? Because the Duux Whisper really does live up to its name. It's the quietest fan we've tested and virtually silent on its lowest settings. This makes it the perfect fan for the bedroom, and, even on its most powerful settings with its 13-50 dB noise levels it remains the quietest fan we've come across. The Dreo Quiet Bladeless Cooling Fan is one of the best bladeless fans for night time use, with an exceptionally quiet sleep mode that’ll struggle to disturb even the lightest of sleepers!Better still, there's no self-assembly required with the MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator – a surprising rarity amongst the fans we've tested, and a great plus point compared to faffing around with assembly in the middle of a heatwave. Its controls are very easy to use, there's a handy remote control, an on and off timer, and ECO mode which automatically shifts the fan speed depending on the temperature registered on the fan's in-built sensor. LUXURIATE IN PURE AIR - Advanced H13 HEPA filtration in our air purifier heater and cooler captures 99.97% of allergens and dust, perfect for a healthy home environment. Some bladeless fans go one step further than just having speed settings and offer a choice of modes to choose from too. You may come across fans with: Nature/Breeze mode: This mode can simulate the eb and flow of a natural breeze. Instead of constantly blasting out air, the fan will vary the pressure with which air is expelled. If you're looking for the crème de la crème of the fan world, then a Dyson bladeless fan is perhaps the most aspirational buy. Well-executed design, innovative oh-so-stylish bladeless design, and powerful multifunctional performance mean a Dyson fan easily stands out from the crowd.

Bladeless fans are generally quite quiet. If you only plan to use your fan during the day, a maximum noise level of 50 dB will be suitable . However, a decibel level of less than 30 is better for nighttime (and may help in the office too). A ‘sleep mode’ is also an excellent feature to look out for if using the fan at night – it’ll turn off after a set time. This fan is easy to set up in just a couple of minutes, and all you need is a screwdriver. It has a tall but narrow build which allows it to fit in small spaces, while it oscillates 70 ° to allow it to reach every corner of the room. It comes with a remote control so it can be adjusted from a distance.What sets this bladeless fan apart is its stunning design. With 7 different colour options, it seamlessly blends with any decor, adding a touch of sophistication to your living space. Combining an air purifier with an oscillating fan, the U ULTTY Bladeless Fan with Air Purifier filters and cleans whilst it cools. At full power, the fan delivered air speed at 4.8m/s, which only dropped at 2.8m/s at one metre and an effective 1.6m/s at two metres. That’s enough air speed to keep you cool at a distance, making the VonHaus 35″ Tower Fan a suitable fan to cool an entire room. Our one minor complaint about fan speed is that the lowest setting is still a relatively powerful 4m/s at 1m – we’d have liked a slightly lower minimum speed. The two most energy-efficient fans we've tested are the Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan which uses just 3 watts of power on its lowest settings, rising to 32 watts on its highest settings, and the MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator, which uses 9.5 watts on low and just 23.5 watts on its super-powerful highest setting thanks to its DC motor. Keeping cool during a heatwave can be difficult, especially in modern British homes which are built to retain heat (a blessing in winter, of course!).
