If you’ve been checking the weather forecast, you’ll have noticed that the temperature is set to rise again next week. It might not reach the scorching highs of 40C, but much of the UK is still going to be hot and sticky, so it’s wise to grab a fan before stock flies off the virtual shelves again.
Lots of fans completely sold out last week (some won’t be back in stock until October), but there are some great deals on models from big brands if you know where to look. I’ve scoured the web and found six particularly good offers from reputable brands, so you don’t end up settling for less than the best.
My personal pick is the Dimplex FlexBlade Bladeless Tower Fan, which is now £159.99 at Amazon (was £199.99), and kept me comfortable the last time the temperatures soared. You can aim this fan at your bed, and it’s quiet enough not to disturb your sleep.
I borrowed one of these fans during the last heatwave, and it was a lifesaver. Its ‘arms’ can be rotated 90 degrees so it blows a sheet of cool air over your bed. I saw it selling for over £400 in some online stores only a week ago, so this is a great time to snap it up.View Deal
This tower fan is fantastic value at just under £60, and can sit neatly in the corner of your room until you need it during a heatwave. It can monitor the temperature of your room, which is particularly smart.View Deal
This app-operated smart fan is still selling for full price at Amazon, but you can get 15% off when you buy it direct from SwitchBot using the code PDDAY15. The code is applied at the checkout automatically. View Deal
Move this smart cordless fan around the house with you, and place it near an open window when the temperature drops to quickly cool the room. It’s cheaper in SwitchBot’s store than at Amazon with the code PDDAY15.View Deal
You can use this rechargeable smart fan anywhere, and it comes with two bases: so you can convert it into a desk fan when you’re working. With £20 off, it’s great value.View Deal
An exceptionally quiet fan for keeping your bedroom cool at night, this Philips model lets you adjust the height and angle of airflow for a targeted breeze. The discount isn’t huge, but at under £50 I’m not going to quibble.View Deal
