“Virtually silent” fan that blows cool air is perfect for sleeping during a heatwave

Most homes in the UK don’t have air conditioning, so they can quickly become stuffy if you don’t have a fan. Having trouble sleeping in hot weather, Amazon shoppers are snapping up a “highly efficient” tower fan currently on sale. The Dreo Silent Tower fan has been compared to more expensive alternatives and has been reduced from £99.99 to £76.49. That makes it over £320 cheaper than this Dyson tower fan which is on sale for £399.99.

The Dreo fan is equipped with a powerful motor and a unique air duct that effectively distributes airflow throughout the room, keeping the entire space cool, not just one area. It has six speeds, Normal, Natural and Sleep, plus an automatic mode that automatically changes the air power depending on the temperature, allowing your room to always stay pleasant.

Unlike some models, it’s not difficult to navigate and even the tech newbies among us should find it very easy to use. The fan has a large, easy-to-read LED display and you can access all settings via a remote control so you don’t even have to get up. Once the fan is set to sleep mode, the LED display will automatically turn off after 20 seconds, allowing for a restful night’s sleep.

Described as “powerful”, “less noisy” and “stylish”, it has garnered top reviews on Amazon from over 20,000 users. A key factor that buyers are happy with is its quietness. One person said: “This fan is quiet, like in a library. Perfect for a bedroom. Virtually silent and the cold draft doesn’t disturb your sleep. Can easily stay on all night. Looks good Also.”

Another wrote: “I bought this after gasping at the price of Dyson bladeless fans. This thing is amazing. The blast of cold air it puts out is bliss on a hot day. It spins to cover a room if you want The lowest settings are fantastic if you blast it alone and on the highest settings you get goosebumps pretty quickly in a house that turns into an oven during the summer, without. air conditioning and no airflow, even with all the windows open, this has really been a lifesaver I work from home and can just start melting if it’s hot.

However, one customer said “the base is a bit tricky to build, but it’s fine once you get the hang of it” and someone else added: “only less so if I’m a bit picky , the base is a little difficult to assemble.

Elsewhere, Dunelm’s Black And Decker 36″ Smart Tower Fan costs £79. If you have a smaller space, they also stock this Igenix 12″ Mini Tower Fan with 8H Timer which costs £28. Buyers call it “small, compact and almost silent.”
