Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist – £219 (was £249.99)
Amazon has just reduced the Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist to its cheapest price ever, beating Shark ’s own £219.99 price tag. Serving as a standing or desk fan, this model has five fan speeds and two SmartBreeze modes said to simulate natural wind patterns.
But what sets it apart from its rival is the MistPro feature, which uses chilled water to spray a light, cool mist outdoors that Shark says can lower temperatures by up to 6°C. Of the FlexBreeze, one five-star review says: “A good, powerful fan providing a lovely breeze to keep things cool in the conservatory when the sun is out.
“The water mist is strictly for outdoors as the spray does generate quite a lot of large droplets that gather on the base plate and will also moisten any items nearby. The mist is perfect for those summer barbecues, keeping the chef nice and cool.”
However, the same buyer added: “Only drawbacks would have been nice to have more angle on the oscillation and the ability to adjust the height and not just the angle of the fan.”
Amazon has also reduced the price of the Shark FlexBreeze TableMate (£99) and the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo (£99.99).

JYMIPA Standing Fan – £109.99
The JYMIPA Standing Fan from Amazon has yet to receive a single mixed or negative review, with its lowest rating being four stars. It’s said to be ‘whisper quiet’ and can deliver ‘powerful’ wind speeds of 21 ft/s that can reach up to 29 feet, enabling it to cool even larger spaces with its 90° horizontal oscillation and 80° vertical tilt.
One user says: “Just right for keeping the bedroom comfy without noise getting in the way. It’s quiet even on higher speeds so it won’t disturb sleep or focus. The airflow reaches nicely across the room, which feels surprisingly refreshing. A solid fan that stays cool and calm.”
The fan’s only four-star review says: “Wish the height adjustment was telescopic instead of the cheap plastic pipes that have to be unscrewed. The mains lead could do with being longer.”

Dyson Cool AM07 Tower Fan – £269.99 (was £349.99)
Those looking to push the boat out can save £80 on the Dyson Cool AM07 Tower Fan, which is designed to cool larger spaces. It boasts ‘powerful’, long-range air projection and Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology, which combines principles used in turbochargers and jet engines to amplify airflow up to 15 times.
With this, the bladeless fan can project up to 500 litres of air per second, with its remote control offering total control of its 10 airflow settings. One five-star review says: “Wish we had bought it sooner. Cool air and cool design. Very easy to assemble, three pieces just click together.”
But this more mixed review says: “The fan is very powerful, however, the LED light is too bright. I bought it for my bedroom and it lights the whole room up at night.”

Honeywell TurboForce Power Fan – £23.19 (was £32.49)
The Honeywell TurboForce Power Fan is currently the best-selling fan on Amazon, with more than 5,000 sold in the past month. With three speed settings and a 90° oscillating head, this compact fan is ideal for use on a table or desk, allowing users to stay comfortable while they work.
It’s designed to cool small to medium rooms and also comes with a handy wall mount. One five-star review says: “This fan has been a lifesaver during warmer days and is surprisingly powerful for its size. It gives off a strong, steady breeze and really helps cool down the room quickly.
“I love that it’s compact enough to fit on a table or shelf, but still has the power of a much larger fan. It’s also not too noisy, which makes it perfect for using in the bedroom or while working.”
It may not suit everyone though, as this buyer says: “It’s effective enough if you’re one person sitting in one place but there’s no oscillation so it’s no good if you want to use it with others. Not as quiet as I’d expected either.”

Dunelm Floor Fan – £50
This 16” Floor Fan from Dunelm has a ‘powerful’ 100W motor that makes it ideal for cooling larger spaces. It has three speed settings and an adjustable tilting head, with buyers describing it as ‘robust and effective’.
There’s also a slightly larger 18” model for £65, but of the 16” model, one reviewer said: “Great fan with plenty of power behind it. Great for keeping us cool on hot days.”
Another said: “Extremely happy with my robust and effective fan, would most definitely buy again.”
However, this buyer said: “It’s very powerful even on the lowest setting. It is loud though. Sounds more like an aeroplane than a fan. Wouldn’t recommend if it’s for the bedroom at night.”
