It's also a very handy fan, mustering up a decent breeze, but remaining quiet up to about the 60 percent power setting. At higher speeds, there is a bit of a whoosh, as you'd imagine. Turning up the speed also increases air purifying power, but there's also an Auto mode that reacts to potent guffs of microparticles and gases.The intelligent TVE 100memorises what is good for you. In the especially economical standby mode, all device settings remain saved. If the fan is switched on again after a break, it will start up in the previously selected operating mode at the corresponding fan stage.

At just 26cm tall and 16cm wide, the 260c is a perfect size for close quarters desktop use, but what really makes this little fan stand out from the crowd is the fact that it can be run on battery power alone – and for up to 14 hours at a time. It also features a soft night light for bedside use.

The Boneco F220 has been primed for high air circulation. Though the head isn't motorised, it does an excellent job of pushing air around rooms of any size with its deep-cut blades that operate within four-speed settings. Rotating 270 degrees, it offers a directional breeze, but when pointed up towards the ceiling will provide an “air shower”, which has all the perks of air conditioning without any of the skin-drying effects. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, with the upright pole stand doubling up as a handy carry handle to find the best spot. This machine is capable of reducing interior ambient temperatures by as much as 8˚C. That might not sound like much, but even a two or three degree reduction can make a big difference. So how does it work? Warm air is drawn into the unit and passed over a wet honeycomb, causing the water to evaporate and lose heat. This cooled, moisturised air is then blown out into the room. Simple innit? Also consider settings – higher speed settings can create a cooler temperature – and features. Do you want an oscillating head and tilt action for more flexibility? Do you need a timer? Or remote control? Or even wi-fi? Finally, bladeless fans are a good call if you’ve got kids and can be easier to clean.
