This £100 fan is ‘powerful enough’ to cool a whole room

This fan was our tester’s best overall - (Joanne Lewsley/The Independent)

As the weather heats up, it’s a reminder how houses in the UK struggle to cope with warm temperatures. As most of us don’t have air conditioning in our homes, choosing one of the best fans is your next best bet to alleviate some of that uncomfortable stuffiness in rooms.

When testing more than a dozen fans for her guide to fans, it was the MeacoFan sefte 10” table air circulator that stood out to Joanne Lewsley for its powerful cooling abilities, for just £100.

In her review of the MeacoFan sefte, she explained it’s “one of those rare models that manages to feel both powerful and refined.”

“In testing, I was genuinely impressed by just how much air it moves – the airflow is strong enough to be felt across the room, yet it never has that harsh, buffeting feel you get from cheaper desk fans,” she said.

Aside from its cooling powers, Joanne noted that it was “whisper-quiet” too, “making it ideal for bedrooms or light sleepers.”

So, if you’re in the market for a new fan to keep you cool right through summer, read on for all you need to know about the MeacoFan sefte.

The MeacoFan sefte was nominated our tester’s best fan. For £100, the fan looks the part and performs beyond more expensive options our expert reviewer Joanne Lewsley tested.

In her round-up of the best fans, she wrote that “it strikes a really nice balance between performance, efficiency and ease of use.

“If you want a fan that’s quiet enough for sleep, powerful enough for whole-room cooling, and cheap to run, this is easily one of the best I’ve tested.”

It’s also a great choice for those looking to keep energy costs down. “At just 22.5W on its highest setting, it’s cheaper to run than many traditional fans, including some budget models (less than 1p per hour).” There’s also an eco mode where the fan automatically adjusts the fan speed based on room temperature, to help you not use more energy than you need to.
