Best electric fan deals, tried and tested to beat the heatwave

We’ve hand-picked the best deals on tower fans, pedestal models and more - (The Independent)

Summer has well and truly arrived, bringing warm days and stuffy nights. Whether you’re looking for ways to keep cool while working from home or want to chill out as you sleep, we’ve selected the best electric fan deals to help you save on this heatwave essential.

From tower fans to tabletop models, our hand-picked deals cover a range of budgets. There are options for less than £50, which don’t tend to have as many speed and oscillation settings as pricier models. Once you go above £100, you’ll often find smart features, convertible models and fans that are quieter. No matter the price, we only recommend models from brands we’ve tested in our round-up of the best electric fans, so you can be sure you’re getting your money’s worth.

We’ll be keeping this page updated throughout the summer as we search for discounts on top cooling brands including Dyson, Shark, Black + Decker and more. Keep in mind that fans can quickly run out of stock, particularly during heatwaves, so if you see a deal that ticks all your boxes, it’s worth bookmarking it and checking back when there’s less demand.

The best electric fan deals for June 2025 are:

  • Black + Decker tower fan: Was £49.99, now £33.99, Amazon.co.uk
  • Shark FlexBreeze portable fan: Was £199.99, now £169.99, Sharkclean.co.uk
  • Duux whisper flex smart fan: Was £169.99, now £127.49, Amazon.co.uk

Black + Decker is one of our favourite tried and tested brands when it comes to keeping cool, with its electric fans, portable air conditioners and air coolers featuring in our round-ups. This tower fan from the brand is currently reduced by 32 per cent at Amazon, bringing it to less than £35.

We put the smart version to the test, which has a remote control and an eight-hour timer. Our reviewer found that it was “brilliant at moving cold air around a room” and helped it to “feel less stuffy and humid”. This version doesn’t come with a remote control and has a two-hour timer, so if you don’t mind slightly pared-back features, you can make a decent saving.

This versatile fan can be configured into 12 different combinations, including corded, cordless, tabletop, and outdoors. Our reviewer found that “it did a great job of cooling the air to each side of the unit as well as directly in front of it,” thanks to five speed settings and 180-degree oscillation.

Many retailers have reduced the price of the fan to £169.99, but we’ve got a handy tip to help you save even more. If you sign up for the Shark newsletter using the link below, you’ll be sent a 10 per cent discount code to use on the Shark website. We tested this out ourselves, and with the discount code, the fan comes to £152.99. It’s a modest saving, but you won’t find it for that price elsewhere.

Duux whisper flex smart fan: Was £169.99, now £127.49, Amazon.co.uk

Here’s a chance to save on the priciest pedestal fan we’ve tested, with 25 per cent off at Amazon. Our reviewer was impressed with the fan’s 26 speed settings, far more than most models offer, as well as the natural breeze mode that’s designed to simulate real wind. “We thought it would be a gimmick,” they said. “But it was noticeably different from the usual blasting air you find in most fans.”

Dyson cool AM07 tower fan: Was £349.96, now £237, Markselectrical.co.uk

It’s rare to find a big discount on Dyson fans, so we were pleasantly surprised to see a deal on the AM07 at QVC. This is one of Dyson’s most basic models but our reviewer, Alex, still found it “really powerful, even on the mid settings”. There are 10 speed settings to choose from and a built-in sleep timer if you want it to turn off in the middle of the night.

Most retailers are selling the fan for £269, but Marks Electrical has a modest reduction that brings the price down to £237.
