Fans

Choose a fan by where it will sit. A mains-powered tower or pedestal fan with a remote and a timer suits a bedroom or living room, a USB desk fan suits a desk, a neck fan keeps both hands free, and the solar camping fans are made for tents and outdoor use. The range here runs from a 20cm USB desk fan up to 93cm tower fans, and the tower and pedestal models are from Devanti.

How to choose a fan

For a room. The three Devanti tower fans are 88cm, 91cm and 93cm tall. The 91cm and 93cm models list three speeds, three wind modes (Normal, Natural and Sleep), 85 degree oscillation and a remote, and the 88cm bladeless model lists 24 speeds and a 0 to 12 hour timer. The Devanti pedestal fan adjusts from 43cm to 80cm, so it works as a desk fan or a full-size pedestal fan. Of the room fans, the 16 inch 5-in-1 Devanti is the one with a rechargeable battery as well as a power adapter: its listing says it can be used on a stand, a table, the floor, a wall or hanging.

For a desk or on the move. The 20cm desktop fan charges by USB-C and lists three speeds and 360° tilt. The neck fans (1200mAh, 2000mAh and 6000mAh batteries) sit around the shoulders for hands-free cooling, and the BDI N36 handheld fan adds a thermoelectric cooler to the airflow.

For outdoors and the car. Two solar camping fans charge by solar panel or USB and carry 10000mAh and 20000mAh batteries, each with an LED light. A car seat cushion with eight built-in fans runs from the car's 12V socket.

Before you order, check the size against the space, whether the fan needs assembly (the 16 inch, pedestal, 91cm and 93cm Devanti fans list assembly as required, while the 88cm tower lists none), and whether you want a timer. One listing, the Portable Smart Ac, is a USB-powered unit with 7 LED mood lights; it gives no airflow figure or cooling output, so read the product page before you rely on it to cool a room.
