More info Ireland has enjoyed a rather pleasant spring, with temperatures soaring above 20C in some parts. And as we bid farewell to spring and welcome the onset of summer in June, there's optimism that the balmy weather will persist. For those on the hunt for a new fan, it might be worth considering a bladeless model. Bladeless fans have seen a surge in popularity in recent years, primarily because they don't accumulate dust like their traditional counterparts. This makes them easier to maintain and more suitable for individuals who are prone to allergies. Dyson is arguably at the forefront of this market with its Purifier Cool Gen1, a dual-function cooling and air purifying system. The fan captures and traps pollutants, offers ten settings and is controlled by a remote. However, with a hefty price tag of £349.99, it sits at the higher end of the market, potentially out of reach for many households. (Image: Amazon) Pro Breeze is another top contender in the fan market, offering devices that are more moderately priced, thus appealing to a wider consumer base. For example, its Bladeless Tower Fan is priced at €169, and numerous customers have compared its performance and quality favourably to Dyson's, reports the Mirror. The Tower Fan by Pro Breeze utilises 'Air Stream Cooling Technology', which enhances cooling power to distribute a stream of cool air throughout rooms. It features large 4mm vents, which prove handy during heatwaves. In terms of reviews, the Pro Breeze model from Amazon received more than 700 ratings. One customer described it as: "This fan has proven to be a great Dyson alternative so far. I brought it for my son, who sleeps in a bed tent (he's autistic), and it helps cool him down during the high heat." This user noted that is was quiet saying: "It's not that loud, turns itself off, and has an easy-to-use touch-button panel on the front that my son knows how to use. So, it's not at all complicated." In contrast, a second consumer gave the product 2 stars, having found the fan noise excessive stating: "This fan is so loud I have to turn my TV up! I have a cheap one that is quieter and just as powerful. Sorry, I can't recommend this as it's too loud, definitely not ultra quiet." A third buyer rated the fan highly saying: "Probably the best fan I've ever owned. I went through quite a lot of cheap fans and I've had Dyson ones. But this is by far the best I've seen, especially for bladeless." They went on to say: "It does have 6 speed settings. The first 2 settings are definitely kind of quiet, so pretty good for those who hate sounds and have a decent amount of air." And concluded: "The 6th setting is really powerful a strong wind but sounds almost like a vacuum cleaner but not as bad. Still I wouldn't think it's ideal to sleep with the 6th setting unless you do like the sound of the fan like me. "The size is good usually with most fans it can barely reach the top of my bed but this goes above the height of it which is really good. 5/5 definitely recommend." A fourth was equally positive: "As a fan this is great, easily as cooling as a Dyson or bigger more expensive brand, even on low settings you can feel it. The instructions are easy to follow, the remote is easy to use. "It's a little chunky not massively but there's definitely more streamlined versions out there. It's not deafeningly loud, but you can hear it as it's not silent either. I do think it's a great fan for the money, though. I would definitely buy again."

Amazon fan is a 'great Dyson alternative' and 'easily as cooling'
The Pro Breeze fan has been praised for its quality and functionality The nation has seen pretty good weather this spring, with highs of almost 30C in some regions. As the season winds down, and June brings the start of summer, there are hopes that the warm weather will continue. Shoppers who are in the market for a new fan may want to consider a bladeless option. Bladeless fans have gained popularity over the last few years, as they don't gather dust like traditional fans do. This makes them easier to clean and also more user-friendly for people who suffer from allergies. Dyson arguably leads the market with its Purifier Cool Gen1, a two-in-one cooling and air purifying system. The fan captures and traps pollutants, has ten settings and is operated by a remote control. However, with a pricetag of £349.99, it it's at the top end of the market, and costs more than most households may be willing to spend. Pro Breeze is another leading brand for fans, and its devices are mid-range price-wise, making its models appealing to a larger majority of consumers. For instance, its Bladeless Tower Fan is £134.99, and many customers have likened its performance and quality to that of Dyson. The Tower Fan by Pro Breeze is made with 'Air Stream Cooling Technology ', which amplifies cooling power to send a stream of cold air across rooms. It has large 4mm vents, which are useful during heatwaves. Another alternative is Bush's Tower Fan, which is £65 at Argos. This is a traditional blade fan that comes with a multi-functional remote. It has three settings and also has an oscillating function. Returning to Amazon's Pro Breeze device, it has more than 700 reviews, with one shopper commenting: "This fan has proven to be a great Dyson alternative so far. I brought it for my son, who sleeps in a bed tent (he's autistic), and it helps cool him down during the high heat. "It's not that loud, turns itself off, and has an easy-to-use touch-button panel on the front that my son knows how to use. So, it's not at all complicated."

A third fan option comes courtesy of Shark, where consumers can pick up a FlexBreeze Portable Fan for £175, down from £199.99. The hybrid indoor and outdoor fan comes with a cover, a pedestal stand, a remote controller and an InstaCool Misting Attachment.
