Whitebox Status 32" Tower Fan, WX00407

Product Information

Overall, the Seville crushed the competition in waist-height cooling power, generating wind speeds of 8.2 MPH — which even beat out the Dyson, a unit that’s five times as expensive. Lastly, a panel of testers sit in a room kept at 30 degrees with each fan for half an hour and assess how comfortable it makes them (yes, really). Every model is then scored according to its performance, ease of use, design and product information.

We know how useful a fan can be on a warm day but, as with anything you buy for your home, safety around your children is always the highest priority. The Dreo has the same modes as other tower fans — normal, natural, and sleep (timer can be programmed up to 8 hours) — but it also has an automatic mode, which automatically adjusts the speed level depending on the temperature in the room. It has a 90-degree oscillation that moves at a slow rate, but because of the force of the high speed, still manages to keep cooling when the grill isn’t facing you. Perfect for night-time use, the tower fan is super quiet and features a 40, 80 or 120 minute timer that allows you to go to sleep safe in the knowledge that the fan will turn off after a predetermined time. The timer can also be turned off all together. Simple but effective, the fan comes in a glossy white colour, and features easy to use dial controls which make operating the fan a breeze. On a sturdy free standing base with a durable construction, the fan is stable and safe to use, even on full power. With its ergonomic design, compact size meaning you can fit it in even if you're short on floor space and 3 speed settings, this Status Tower Fan is a must-have for the Summer months and features a generous 1.8 metres of cable.

How To Return A ProductFor this 2023 update, we tested three newer tower fans, and the Dreo Nomad One was by far the best, with an excellent 13.2 mph at waist level from two feet away at the highest speed. For the three new fans we tested, we measured a 12′ distance from where the fan was placed and the couch. The Dreo breezily hit the mark with full-on gusts, and during a recent heat wave of 90+ degrees Fahrenheit, the Dreo kept us comfortable. We considered a range of factors including the stability of the fan on both hard and carpeted surfaces, whether it has non-slip feet, the type and durability of the material used, the size of the vent around any internal components, the weight, and if there are any small parts included. The Vornado – OSCR32, matched the Seville in cooling effectiveness, thanks to its vent that’s proportionate in size to the unit. It has a smart and sleek design that won’t command attention in a room. It’s a bit more expensive than the Seville, but it’s a great option to consider. Not all fans do this, but some, including every Dyson and the SmartAir, also help to clean the air they're distributing. Some have filters that trap pollutants, while the Dimplex Ion Fresh Cooling Tower Fan freshens air around it by emitting neutralising ions. Do fans use a lot of electricity?

The Lasko – Wind Curve is a solid unit, but it had the lowest degrees of oscillation and was only capable of fair cooling coverage unless you tilted the fan opening. Its wooden face would blend in nicely with the right home, but overall, it’s not a unit we’d recommend. Dyson – AM07 (discontinued) With a gusty air speed of 13.2 mph, the Dreo Nomad will keep air circulating on a hot day. It also has a few nice features we haven't seen in other tower fans See Price at Dreo.com See Price at Despite our best efforts, occasionally there will be extraordinary circumstances which prevent us from turning up on time with your goods.Things such as traffic accidents, extreme weather, vehicle breakdowns might prevent us from getting the right goods to you, undamaged and on time. This is why we strongly advise our customers not to book kitchen fitters until the goods are in your possession and you've inspected them. Access and Parking RestrictionsMany fans offer different breeze styles, allowing you to adjust the feel of the air. For example, the SmartAir Cool+ Purify Bladeless Tower Fan has four different modes on top of its air settings, including a day mode and a night mode. The latter is a key one to look out for as it sets the fan to operate at a quieter volume, and sometimes dims the display, limiting any disruption to your sleep. Oscillation Another nice touch that the other two fans we tested for 2023 didn’t have is a built-in handle for effortlessly lifting and moving the fan where you want it to be. The Dreo Nomad is very reasonably priced and is definitely worth your consideration.
