electriQ Tower Fan Bladeless 24" with 3 Speeds, Remote Control and Mood Light

Product Information

When it first arrived, we found it a bit fiddly having to screw the base onto the fan, but our criticism stopped there.

Its revolutionary bladeless design is a fantastic safety element, making it perfect for homes with small children and pets.

Even at the top end it only emits 50dB – about the same as a fridge – making it one of the best choices for bedrooms. You can also pre-set the fan to shut off between 1 to 15 hours, keeping your room cooler for longer.

Plus, it's tall and sleek-looking, so it'll fit seamlessly into most rooms with ease and you won't have to worry about it ruining your carefully planned aesthetic. As well as a range of modes, this fan comes with a remote control that allows you to adjust it from a distance. It is bladeless and oscillates at 60°, plus its three fan modes and three speeds mean it can keep even bigger bedrooms at the optimum temperature for a happy slumber. If you’re sensitive to temperature changes, a fan with 8 – 10 speed settings can be more versatile . as it think this would help keep you cool with tasks such as reading in bed, but it certainly isn’t a problem when you’re lying down.

The fan is packed with the same if not more functionality you'd expect from the big branded designs. It has nine different speed settings (including a boost mode) and has an 8-hour timer to allow you to shut off the fan at your time of choice. It’s a no-nonsense, three-bladed 30-Watt fan sitting on a solid, heavy base that can be angled and set to oscillate and. The first thing I notice (after how easy it is to assemble) is that it has both horizontal and vertical oscillation which, coupled with a powerful airflow of 1,653m³ph gives it unrivalled room-cooling capabilities.

This fan is super economical to run, in fact, it's actually around 10% cheaper to run than a standard fan and thanks to its built-in timer it helps save energy.Noise was an essential factor, with quiet fans getting a higher rating and those that were extra quiet (30 dB) getting a bonus rating for light sleepers. They're different from air conditioners — you don't have to close the door when the tower fan is on. Not only because some models can actively purify the air, but because less dust gets trapped on a bladeless fan as well.

It has an ‘eco’ mode that adjusts the speed of the fan based on the temperature of the room, a ‘natural’ mode that replicates a breeze, plus a sleep timer, night light and a handy magnetic remote. Most fans do not work to cool down a room, as they have no way of cooling down the air – they only help it to circulate (which can produce a heat-wicking effect on skin). There's even a handy remote control included, so you can effortlessly change all the settings from the comfort of your sofa or bedside. A tower fan can be more useful than a pedestal fan if you're planning on using it regularly as it will fit into a corner of a room without taking up much space and with a small footprint.Fans have either an AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) motor – DC motors are better as they’re brushless, so are quieter and more energy efficient,” explains Nick Kandola of Aircon Centre, a specialist retailer for fans, air conditioning units and dehumidifiers. On it’s highest level (10) it’s got really powerful air flow to keep you cool, whilst operating at a 2-3 at night will keep you cool without disturbing you. During the summer we’re constantly moving it from room to room, and you can do this with great ease.
