If you’re on the lookout for a new fan that’s praised for its power and low noise output, look no further than this ‘better than Dyson’ model that’s now on sale
Whilst summer might be drawing to a close, scorching temperatures are still gripping Britain with some areas seeing the mercury soar above 30C this past week – and there’s more sweltering heat on the way. Perfect timing then for Amazon to slash the price of a top-rated cooling device by 29%.
The Honeywell Turboforce Power Fan, normally priced at £32.49, has been reduced to £22.99. The gadget, which boasts a stellar 4.5-star rating, has been hailed as “superior” to Dyson and “powerful” despite its compact design, reports the Express.
One delighted Amazon customer raved: “Forget your Dyson bladeless. This little fan is better. It’s so powerful for its size. It’s no brainier-just buy it.”

Manchester Evening News journalist Bethan Shufflebotham put the fan through its paces. She revealed: “Despite its compact size of no more than 30cm in height or width, this Honeywell fan packs a punch. I’ve never felt the need to try a Dyson fan, as this device does an excellent job of keeping me cool during the summer months while working from home. It even outperforms the £20 tower fan I bought from Aldi in 2022.”
“The fan arrives fully assembled, making setup a breeze,” Bethan noted. It features a three-metre cable and can tilt by 90 degrees. “Its sleek and minimalist design is far from an eyesore, and its lightweight nature allows for easy room-to-room movement,” Bethan enthused. “Given its price, I’d recommend getting two – one for upstairs and one for downstairs.”
This fan boasts three speed settings and can be wall-mounted or used as a desk fan. Despite its power, Bethan was particularly impressed with its quiet operation.
She noted: “The slowest speed is almost silent, making it perfect for work calls during the day, watching films or catching up on Love Island, and it doesn’t disturb my sleep when used overnight.
“The medium speed setting produces a gentle hum, delivering more of a breeze, but still, there’s no need to reach for the volume button on the telly remote. The highest setting is noisier than the others, but no noisier than other fans we’ve tested over the years, and it’s more than worth it for the performance.”
The fan has earned a top-notch customer satisfaction rating of five stars out of five on Amazon. One satisfied shopper said: “Extremely quiet, even on full power. Very strong breeze, a lot better than my Dyson hot and cold fan. Cannot fault this.”
Another added: “This fan is an absolute powerhouse. I have no clue as to how it can be so powerful for its size, but fair play to Honeywell. It’s easily at least 10 times more powerful than the Dyson fan (a really bad purchase) we also have.”
However, one user was not impressed with the design of the settings switch, stating: “It’s a decent enough fan in terms of airflow. The main problem is that the switch is in an awkward spot to turn on and off.”
The cooling device is available for next-day delivery, and Prime members won’t face any delivery charges. But if you want to grab this fan at it’s newly reduced rate, you’ll want to act fast as there’s now telling how long this sale will last.
