Electric fans for effective cooling? No sweat! Here are our top picks

Hands up if you canโ€™t wait for the next heatwave to come around? Same here! But alongside clear blue skies, spicy barbecues and ice cold drinks, heatwaves also bring sweating. Thanks… but no thanks. And with most UK homes unequipped with air conditioning, the next best thing is โ€“ drum roll, please โ€“ electric fans. 

Exciting, I know. Although the weather has slightly dropped recently, weโ€™ll definitely get a heatwave sometime soon this balmy season. So to ensure you stay cool with minimal effort, Iโ€™ve rounded up our favourite effective standing and desk electric fans.

Perhaps you want to pop yours on the kitchen counter to enjoy a refreshing breeze while cooking? Or they’re lovely next to your bed, cooling you as you sleep. Maybe you’d prefer yours propped in the corner of your open-plan living-dining area, or even near your desk in your work-from-home spot. Wherever you want to put your fan, rest assured there are plenty to choose from.

And, of course, there are classic pedestal fans that look pretty and do the job without breaking the bank, such as Dunelmโ€™s new chrome tripod fan, which is also perfect for adding an industrial touch to your space.

So, get your shopping cart ready โ€“ these are our top electric fan picks…
