During the spring and summer months, many people want to get outside as much as possible to soak in the sun - if the weather permits it. However, while the heat is lovely when you are outdoors, it can become uncomfortable when you are having to work indoors or trying to sleep at night. To avoid overheating inside, many people are investing in fans to aid in cooling them down. While there are many fans on the market, both big and small, it can be hard to find an affordable option that gives the same power as higher end brands. One budget friendly option on Amazon has received high ratings from shoppers, who have hailed it as a "best buy". The Dimplex Mont Blanc Cooling Tower Fan currently has 4.5 stars and is retailing for £79.61. A writer from Essex Live has even said that this fan has lasted her 10 years.

Also equipped with three speed settings and a digital LED display, you can easily find your needed speed and direction. You can also decide whether you want the fan to stay in one position or oscillate to bring an occasional breeze. Additionally, there is also an option for the machine to blend the settings together to offer a varied cooling experience. And this can all be controlled with the top of a button on the handy remote control, which allows you to turn the tower fan off and on while you are lounging on the couch or at your desk completing your endless work tasks. For people who are wanting something smaller that could fit onto your work desk, then you may want to consider the Dr. Prepare Tower Oscillating Fan from Amazon. Standing at 12-inches and containing two fans, this device is a bargain as it is currently reduced down to £25.99 - its usual price tag being £39.99. A popular alternative on Argos is the Challenge Digital Grey Tower Fan , which is selling for £65. Also boasting three speed settings, this device also comes with three mode options and four timers so you won't need to remember to turn it off during the night. However, if the Dimplex Mont Blanc Cooling Tower Fan is the one for you, many Amazon shoppers also agree. With over 2,900 ratings, many shoppers have left raved reviews about the power this sleek fan provides. One happy customer wrote: "This was one of the best buys I've made. Love this thing, the fan is really strong - there are three speed settings and I've yet to bother setting it higher than the first. The height of the unit is brilliant, the fan accounts for around 50% of the unit height (top, starting just below the controls). Its general styling is very neat, modern and smart." Another shopper also added: "An excellent fan that I would highly recommend. I bought two of these devices, and they have proven to be excellent purchases; they have 3 power settings for the fan, and several timer settings at varying increments from 1 to 8 hours. The remote control works well and enables power, timer, and other settings from the comfort of your chair." However, not every shopper was best pleased, as one three-star reviewer wrote: "This fan is of excellent build quality, easy to assemble, comes with a good quality remote control unit and takes up very little room because it is a tower fan. "Unfortunately, I decided to return it as it was just so noisy. Even on the lowest setting, the fan noise was so intrusive that I wouldn't want it in the room with the TV or in the bedroom, as I would not be able to get to sleep with the amount of noise." Despite this, another shopper was impressed by the design of the tower fan, gushing: "It's our favourite fan. Beats those ugly circular fans and saves tonnes of space. Shoots a strong force despite its appearance." Another shopper mentioned: "Brought for when partner stays as he's always hot. Does what it says, is quiet (I am a very light sleeper), love the remote control and setting options. Unable to comment on durability as only used a handful of times before it was boxed away for the winter." If you want to buy the Dimplex Mont Blanc Cooling Tower Fan, you can click HERE.
