The best portable fans you can buy to stay cool this summer

We're big fans of these fans. - by Tahni Mesann

The best portable fans you can buy to stay cool this summer

Ah, Summer. The best season to soak up the sun at the beach, go for a swim, enjoy a barbecue and dine alfresco. It’s also the time of year when everything is, well, hot. Buying a fan is one of the best ways to keep cool in summer without breaking the bank. 

The fact that fans are a cheap cooling option is well known, but sometimes it’s worth shopping around for a fan that suits both your budget as well as your needs. When temperatures rise, you may be tempted to buy the cheapest fan you can find. But beware: you may get home only to find that it's louder than a jet engine!

To help you find the right fan - whether it's for your bedroom, living room or your work desk - we've created a handy list of the best fans you can buy in Australia. 

Best desk fans 

Best desk fans

1. Dyson 'Pure Cool Me' 

If staying cool while you work is a top priority, you can’t go past Dyson’s ‘Pure Cool Me’ personal fan. It makes very little noise, and purifies the air as it cools, ensuring distractions from allergies are kept to a minimum.

Dyson ‘Pure Cool Me’ personal purifying fan, available in white/silver and black and copper, $499 available at Myer.

2. Kogan SmarterHome Smart Fan

At a price point of $119.99, this bladeless fan from Kogan is another great option for desk workers. Not only does it boast a small footprint and quiet operation, it also has voice activation capabilities.

Kogan SmarterHome Bladeless DC Motor Turbo Smart Fan in silver, $119.99, available at Kogan.

Best bedroom fans

1. Kmart Bladeless fan

While it may be cheaper than other bladeless fans on the market, this beauty from Kmart gets the job done - and in a much quieter fashion than a conventional fan with blades.

Kmart bladeless fan with remote control, $89, available at Kmart.

2. Breville 'Airdynamic'

The Airdynamic by Breville is a conventional fan with blades, but it has several features that make it an ideal bedroom fan.

It boasts a DC motor, which makes it quieter to operate and more efficient to run and can be controlled from your smartphone which means if you wake up shivering in the middle of the night, you can switch it off without getting up.

Breville ‘The Airdynamic 3D Connect Circulator’, $199, available at Bing Lee.

Best tower fans
