Dunelm shoppers hail 'surprisingly powerful' £25 fan that is 'extremely quiet'
Keep cool without going over budget with this affordable, yet still powerful, desk fan.
Summer is well and truly underway. With temperatures across parts of Scotland reaching as high as 33C over the weekend, it's safe to say we're all looking for ways to cool down.
Since many homes don't have air conditioning, investing in a fan to provide that sought-after cool breeze at this time of year is an essential, and we may have found one that is both affordable and powerful.
Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan, priced at £25, has become a huge hit with shoppers, as it averages an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting."
Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days.
However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation.

A second review read: "I've had this fan for a number of years and I just came back to order another. Being rechargeable has proved to be a great bonus as you can just move it around as you please without the cable constraining you.
"The battery lasts for hours (even after years of use) and is surprisingly powerful. A literal life-saver on humid days."
Someone else remarked: "This is a fantastic little fan and has been great over the warm weather. Extremely quiet and great that you can move it around. So happy with it I bought two more."

One shopper provided a three-star review over the battery life when charged, writing: "It is super quiet and easy to move around the home without the worry of finding a plug socket. However the fan charge does not last the eight hrs on low speed as stated in the product description hence the lower star rating."
Although, another five-star review read: "Such a brilliant fan. The charge seems to last ages, it's quiet and looks nice too. Really happy with this. It is very effective even on the lowest setting. Definitely recommend."
