It’s that time of year again: it’s hot, it’s sticky, and everyone is going crazy for a bedroom fan.
Every year, we think we can battle through without needing a fan, but when that first hot sleepless night hits, we realise we should have known better and invested in a decent one ages ago.
With brands like Dyson, Shark, and Philips all designing powerful, quiet, and refreshingly cool fans, now is a good time to make the purchase – before it’s too late and stock runs out.

As one of Dyson’s simpler fans, this is a great option for everyone. With different speeds, the fan can multiply airflow by up to 15 times, cooling you down in a matter of seconds. It also features a sleep timer to program set intervals and avoid wasting energy overnight.
Its curved, bladeless design means it’s easy to clean and store once the summer months cool down. 
The Dyson Purifier Cool is a high-performance fan and air purifier in one. It captures 99.95 per cent of ultrafine particles and removes any odours from the air. Using powerful airflow, it projects purified air throughout the room and provides a cooling breeze. The purifier is smart, with a screen for live air quality updates and control via the MyDyson app, all while operating 20 per cent quieter than its predecessor.
The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Misting Portable Fan is the ultimate summer product. It’s ultra-powerful and ultra-portable, so you can stay cool almost anywhere. Pop it by your bed for overnight cooling, keep it on your desk, or take it away on camping trips and weekends away.
It also features a built-in misting tank! Is there anything more refreshing?
If you want to level up the portability, then this is the fan for you. You can use it both cordless and corded, outside and inside, with a 20m range and a 24-hour runtime. It seamlessly transforms from pedestal to tabletop, so you can leave it in one place or take it on the move.
Simple and quiet, this Philips fan option covers three different fan speeds, rotates, and has Quiet Sleep mode. What’s fun about this fan is that you can infuse the cool breeze with essential oils to create a soothing home environment. 
This compact fan values itself on being a quiet and customisable addition to the home. It is bladeless, has nine different speeds, rotates 80° for wider cooling, and can be voice-controlled via Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
If you’re big on air purification, then the Smart Ape is an option to consider. With a unique spiral air outlet system, it has a 360° rotation, reaching up to 11 metres in distance. You can use it to blast big spaces, or you can use it for relaxation and ambience with the built-in aromatherapy feature and soothing night light.
Share a bed and find yourself fighting for cool air? The Shark TurboBlade can provide a solution with its unique design. Its flat, horizontal blade helps distribute cool air over a wider area.
Lauded for its versatility, you can also pivot to vertical cooling, twist the vents in two different directions, and oscillate across your home. Whether you’re sleeping, eating dinner, or hosting in the lounge, there’s a configuration for every occasion.
