Recommendations for fans please

Levoit 42" tower fan.
I find this excellent.
It has a remote, small footprint, lots or easy to use options.
Quiet.
I saw it today for sale at £89.

Here's details:

Levoit 25dB Silent Tower Fan for Large Bedroom 42 Inch, 7.9m/s Powerful Velocity, 23W Low Energy, Adjustable 60° Up-down Wind & 90° Oscillating Bladeless Fan with Remote 12 Speeds 4 Modes 12H Timer

Thanks, I’ll check that one out.

Lidl have a Dyson dupe in at the moment.
It’s worth looking at the reviews.

Do remember that all a fan (even the best ones) can do is to blow the air around. And, that definitely has a good place in our homes. However, if you are looking for something to 'cool' the air then you need to look at those that have some sort of reservoir for cold water and ice blocks so that it blows out cold air.
For several years I had a tall NETTA tower fan, which worked brilliantly in my Living Room and had a remote control. After lots of use that eventually died and I replaced it with a tall EZIFY tower fan with very similar facilities. I also like the fact that even when this is not in use it shows the temperature in my room.
I have not found a really good cooler fan. Have one, but do not find it very effective. Just as effectiv for me is to put a bowl of iced water on a low stool in front of my large tower fan.

We were looking at that one in store last week. With the miserable weather I dithered but now ….

Will check it out.

Useful info, thanks

Dyson dupe sold out in our local Lidl - daughter’s just checked for me, as she lives nearby.

I have three Netta fans recommended to me by sadly missed GNer.
The 42 inch column one is excellent for the price but in common with all fans moves the air round in very high temperatures, however I am happy with it.
£60 from Amazon.

I bought these last year and have been very pleased with them.
They're compact but powerful.

A real Dyson tower type fan, looks like an elongated oval, it’s marvellous.

The Lidl one looks similar to the Dyson.

Older son managed to get me a Dyson dupe fan from the Lidl near to them today and I’m just trying it out. Seems good!

We bought the Lidl Dyson style tower fan after the last heatwave. It is very good; they had sold out when we went back for a second one the next day, but had some in stock again last week.
It is quiet, looks nice and the air feels really cool. Excellent value at £59.

I bought the Meaco 1056 from John Lewis 5 years ago and have used it ever since. Expensive (I paid £99, now £100) but very good.

I've just bought the JL 42" tower fan for my bedroom, it has a remote control. It's fierce but quiet. I also have floor fans, like many gyms have, they are squat and sturdy and very strong, I'm prefer them to pedestal fans. I've got fans in every room, I'm a bit of an addict.

Have any of you GN's experience of one of these air conditioner units with some sort of 'window kit' included so that apparently you don't need to let hot air/ insects/birds in through an open window? Interested to know how and if they work.

Must Have Ideas have a good fan, and 2 working days for delivery

I like the fans on tall stands because you can put them high and aim the flow down towards your bed when you are asleep.

It depends on your windows, ours pivot at the top so a window kit would not work, but sash windows should be fine. You can also get kits for sliding patio doors which is fine if it is tall enough - though a little flimsy.
However in the end the best solution is always a hole drilled through the wall with a slatted vent cover on the outside.

Meaco, much the best I have ever had. 5 stars on the John Lewis website.

A Shark FLEX is great. Small, very little noise and can be set to emits an unnoticeable mist of water to counter hot dry air you want.

Sorry proper name of fan is: Flex Breeze HydroGo fan. Bought from Amazon but sure available in other stores.

@knspol , my son has had one of those air conditioners that you mention. It works well . At night they have it on the landing with the doors open and it cools all the bedrooms down .

We have just ordered a Meaco 1056. I have done a lot of research and hopefully I am going for the right one!
I ordered it direct with the company and it includes a free storage bag. Also free next day delivery.
