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. The Dreo Quiet Bladeless Cooling Fan is one of the best bladeless fans for night time use, with an exceptionally quiet sleep mode that’ll struggle to disturb even the lightest of sleepers! The fan is packed with the same if not more functionality you'd expect from the big branded designs.

Bigger pedestal fans might offer a bit more power, but they also bring with them noise and unwieldy movement, which can become annoying if you're using them on a regular basis. Tower fans are an economical choice to keep your home or office cool - plus, they don't take up too much space in your home.

It’s worth pointing out that, though 30dB is very quiet, there are quieter fans (like the Duux above) and its 38 Watt motor is not the most powerful.

The touchscreen LED display in the middle has three different wind modes (normal, natural or sleep), a timer function and levels of coolness, although it can also be controlled via a remote control. It has an easy-to-use sleep timer and an ‘Auto’ mode that adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature. It has a sturdy base that will prevent it from toppling over, and it looks good in the corner of almost any room.

If you like the idea of a bladeless tower fan but you don't want to splash out on a Dyson, take a look at this electriQ tower fan. Its lowest setting gives off just 42 decibels, which apparently is the same level of noise as a quiet library.

Most of the fans we recommend are three to ten times more powerful than that on their highest settings.
