I know there have been threads previously, but just wondered if anyone had current recommendations for a good fan, before the next heat wave kicks in.

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

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.

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.
