Electriq 24" High velocity portable fan - Black

Product Information

The bladeless Air Multiplier concept has undergone a bit of a redesign, with a slightly slower motor that makes less noise and a ‘Helmholtz cavity’ (good old Helmholtz, eh) to dampen the sound even further. This means that even the higher fan speeds are now quiet enough to use while concentrating on work or drifting off to sleep. On the very highest of the 10 settings there is still some noise, as with all the fans we tried, but that is what earplugs are for. Where the data is available, look for a fan with a higher airflow than 150m³ per hour as a measure of its cooling power. Most of the fans we recommend are three to ten times more powerful than that on their highest settings.

Pedestal fans, which consist of a circular bladed unit on top of a stand, tend to be more powerful than tower fans. Some, such as the Duux above, can be converted between a desk and pedestal fan by removing the stand. The con of bladeless fans is they tend to be much more expensive owing to the technology. If you can afford it, bladeless fans take the edge for us, but a regular blade fan is perfectly adequate. The Dyson makes my living room feel degrees cooler in an instant by projecting over 290 litres of air a second. I can really feel the difference compared with less powerful devices.Cooling effectiveness - air conditioning lowers the temperature of a room, making it effective at keeping large spaces cool, at a consistent rate. Fans don't actually reduce temperatures but create a cooling sensation by circulating air around, making them better suited for personal use. Air quality - air conditioning systems often include air filters and purifying functions to capture dust, pollen and other allergens. If you suffer from hay fever, asthma or pet allergies, consider an air conditioner.

Yes, desk fans are generally the cheapest and lowest-powered but are usually the best choice at close range. (There are also handheld fans, handy in a sweltering tube train, but so low-powered that we don’t review them here.)

Finally, floor fans, which tend to be larger and so can cool a larger room - you might find them in gyms or conference centres. The best thing about this fan is that instead of taking batteries, it recharges via a USB lead. The charge last around seven hours on average, depending on what mode you use most. Recharging takes five. Energy efficiency - AC require a significant amount of electricity to run, especially in hot climates and larger houses. Fans consume much less energy. Pedestal fans are larger and sit on a stand, hence they are also known as stand fans. They are height-adjustable with a rotating head, while oscillating functions distribute air over a larger space. Pedestal fans are versatile, being suitable for both personal use and larger rooms. Stand fans are usually higher spec, with additional features like remote controls and adjustable speed settings.

Tower fans are a better choice for bedrooms or living rooms, since they don’t take up much room on the floor but reach a larger area than a desk fan would. Desk fans are compact and portable, designed to be placed on a desk or bedside table. Desk fans are great for personal cooling in small spaces, providing a direct and focused breeze. They are also relatively quiet and energy-efficient.This TurboForce Power Fan weighs just over a kilogram and is small enough to sit on a window ledge, on your bedside table or bring into the office for your desk. It even comes with a wall mount, if you’d prefer it on a wall. For a small fan, the TurboForce is relatively powerful and has a 90 degree oscillating head.

With a heavy duty thermally protected direct drive AC totally enclosed ball bearing motor, protects the motor from workshop debris and all other dust. Full 180 degrees vertical tilting angle. 69 Decibels maximum. The handle folds in half to create a stand so that it can be propped up on the table. The fan has three speed settings ranging from quiet (I can vouch that it’s quiet enough to use during a tennis match) to reasonably powerful.
