10. Dimplex 7L Evaporative Air Cooler in White
Yes, this isn’t a “fan” per se, but if you’re looking for an alternative cooling method, it’s something to consider. Evaporative coolers naturally humidify the air – reducing dry air symptoms associated with other cooling methods such as itchy eyes, throat or skin. It also provides the added benefit of filtering out dust particles. With an 8-hour timer and 4 speeds to choose from, it is an environmentally friendly, healthy and cost-effective solution.
