To clean between the grilles, we recommend using a pipe cleaner, vacuum cleaner, flexible dust wand or compressed air to gently remove the dust. Why should you invest in one of the most expensive fans in our round-up? Because the Duux Whisper really does live up to its name. It's the quietest fan we've tested and virtually silent on its lowest settings. This makes it the perfect fan for the bedroom, and, even on its most powerful settings with its 13-50 dB noise levels it remains the quietest fan we've come across.

The Honeywell TurboForce Air Circulator can save you up to 20% on summer energy bills, when used with an air conditioner. In the winter months, the Turbo Force power helps to efficiently circulate warm air throughout your home, saving you money on heating bills. Simply turn down your thermostat and pair with a heating system. If you're looking to invest in a fan that really does the business, then it's hard to fault the MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator. Whilst it's not cheap, it delivers powerful, reliable, energy-efficient and user-friendly performance for its mid-range price point. When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of The Range.The EcoAir Kinetic Fan is a robust and well-built fan that offers powerful performance, relatively simple assembly, straightforward and easy-to-use controls, quiet operation, and best-in-class energy efficiency.

It's impressive stuff, but if you purely want a fan that performs well, then in our opinion, the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool HP09 Formaldehyde is an investment you don't need to make. Meaco and Duux offer fans with comparable cooling effects for considerably less cash, but if you're also considering investing in an air purifier, and you have the budget for a Dyson fan's super-cool good looks, this is a stylish investment you may be happy to make. The Honeywell TurboForce Fan offers three speeds of quiet, cool air circulation. Its head pivots 60° vertically and oscillates another 110° horizontally. This gives you a chance to experience uniquely customized cooling. The HT-906 is also up to 25% quieter than competitive models, while providing powerful cooling that can be felt from over 30 ft. away.

It's also not the coolest fan out there, the MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator, Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan, and EcoAir Kinetic Ultra Silent Air Circulation DC Fan can all deliver an icier blast. The latter two also have 'natural wind' modes that add variety and are far more pleasant to sit in for long periods of time than the Honeywell Turbo Force Power Fan's flat and one-directional air current.
