With the UK experiencing a lot of warm weather this year, and temperatures to reach highs of 30C in areas of Scotland today, a fan has become an essential item for households. While handheld fans are perfect for those who commute to work or are travelling, a tower fan is the ideal choice for those who work from home. Able to cool down a whole room and can be left running as you sleep, many shoppers have been rushing to buy a new fan to help combat the heat.

Pureborne 36" Smart Tower Fan £324.99 £75.99 Amazon Buy Now Product Description This tower fan is also perfect to use during the night due to its sleep mode. By decreasing the wind speed every 30 minutes by two levels, this fan was designed to not interrupt your sleep.

Retailing for £84, this tower fan comes with three speed settings and a 78 degree oscillation. This device also comes with a handy remote to help with altering the fan to fit your needs.

One happy shopper said: "Extremely pleased with the fan, very quiet plus the bonus of having a sleep timer and an added remote so if used in the bedroom can be turned off without leaving the bed at night, ideal for what we want as it fits in the corner of the bedroom out of the way." While another five-star reviewer wrote: "My fan arrived yesterday and was a life saver with the impending heat wave this week. It was easy to put together, looks stylish, is very quiet and cooled the room effectively. It was worth every penny!" However, some shoppers did grumble about the device.

While another customer gave a mixed review: "The good thing about this fan is it can be controlled by mobile phone or Alexa. But the thing that I don't like is the background noise when it is running." On the flip side, a top reviewer wrote: "The Pureborne 42' Smart Tower Fan is excellent.
