When it's that hot, a good fan will be vital to keep you cool.

Tower fans are a good choice as they are usually sleek and fit into small spaces. But which will keep you cool? Here are my favourites. Vonhaus 31inch Tower Fan £29.99, Vonhaus 7 The Vonhaus tower fan oscillates to 70-degrees Credit: Vonhaus Incredible value for money. For less than £30, this fan offers features you'd only find in some fans more than six times the price. It oscillates to 70 degrees and my favourite feature was the aroma tray, which really enhanced the cooling experience. If the air was hot and stuffy, adding some eucalyptus oil to the tray made for a really relaxing vibe and I loved the fresh scent around the room. At 31inches in height, it's not so tall that it overwhelms a room and yet is still powerful with a 60-watt motor. It's got a long cord and was light and easy to carry around. It also has a timer so it can be set to turn off at 30-minute intervals for up to 120 minutes. The look is a little plasticky but I was blown away by the price. This is an absolute steal. Performance: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Total score: 10/10 Russell Hobbs Tower Fan £59, AO 7 The Russell Hobbs Tower Fan was quite sleek Credit: Oliver Dixon Quite sleek looking, this fan has three speed settings and a turbo option if you need to give it a quick boost to drop the temperature fast. It oscillates to 85 degrees so no one needs to hog the cool air and it comes with a remote control so you don't need to get up to turn it on or adapt the settings. The touch control and LED display were easy to use and it has a seven-hour programmable timer. It has two modes, sleep air and gentle air. The sleep air mode automatically reduces the speed of the fan after 30 minutes and turns off the indicator lights, leaving you to get a good night's sleep, whilst the gentle air mode varies the airflow, imitating the natural outdoors. It was quiet enough to have on at night and didn't disturb my sleep. Performance: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Total score: 9/10 Levoit Classic Tower Fan 7 The Levoit Tower Fan was mouse levels of quiet Credit: Oliver Dixon £89.99, Levoit A basic looking black and white fan that is one of the most powerful. If you've been out all day and return to a stifling hot house, this will provide rapid relief. This is due to an impressive maximum fan speed of 25ft per second. Despite being one of the most powerful fans we tested, at 28dB, it was also one of the quietest. We had to concentrate to hear it. Its most striking feature, however, is the intelligent temperature sensor. It can track the room temperature in your home and adjust the fan speed accordingly. You can switch to manual mode if you prefer, but I loved leaving it in the corner to do its thing. Performance: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 8/10 Daewoo 30inch Slimline Oscillating Tower Fan 7 I found the Daewoo 30inch tower fan quite weak and plasticky Credit: Daewoo £19.99, Daewoo Electricals Not only does this look quite plasticky, it was quite weak and didn't blow much air around - even on the third and most powerful setting. The slimline, space-saving design is good and it's lightweight and easy to carry around. The timer can only be set for up to two hours and whilst the manual dials were easy to use, I found it noisy. You certainly wouldn't want this on in your bedroom all night. If you are really tight on budget, it's ok, but really you'd be better off spending a tenner more on the Vonhaus fan. Performance: 2/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 5/10 Bush Digital Grey Tower Fan 7 This was one of the most aesthetically pleasing tower fans I tested Credit: Argos £65, Argos This was certainly one of the most aesthetically pleasing in our test and it did a good job of keeping us cool, too. It wasn't the most powerful at 45 watts but it could oscillate and tilt, which allowed you to direct the cool air wherever you needed it. You can choose from three different modes to get the right strength. The digital display was easy to use and it comes with a remote control. It was easy to assemble too and not too noisy. It was quite pricey but it did the job. Performance: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 7/10 Bush 36 inch Tower fan 7 I would have expected better from this fan at £49.99 Credit: The Range £49.99, The Range This fan looks a little cheapy and plasticky and I would have expected better for nearly £50 - and that's if you get it on offer. It has three speed settings and it can oscillate to 85 degrees, which certainly allowed cool air to circulate effectively around the room. It also has an LED display which was easy to set, as well as a 12-hour timer. At 50 watts, it wasn't as powerful as the Vonhaus fan but it has a decent length cable if you want to move it away from a plug socket. It is also light and easy to manoeuvre. This fan was okay - but I felt it was overpriced. Performance: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 6/10 Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

'Game-changer' fan that is 'perfect for nighttime' is reduced to £71.99 in Amazon sale
For anyone dreading another night of tossing and turning, this powerful model is a summer essential With temperatures climbing this week, getting a decent night's sleep is no easy feat. A low-tog duvet and lightweight pyjamas can help, but when the air feels stuffy, only a fan will do. With that in mind, the Levoit Tower Fan is now on sale at Amazon for £71.99 from £89.99 - that's a £18 saving. This sleek tower fan operates at just 20dB - about as quiet as a whisper - so shoppers can keep it running overnight without it disturbing sleep. It offers four cooling modes (normal, sleep, turbo, and auto) and 12 fan speeds, allowing users to tailor the breeze exactly as they like it. A 12-hour smart timer ensures that electricity won't be wasted if shoppers forget to turn it off, while a 90-degree oscillation ensures that cool air circulates evenly around the room. However, there are plenty more fans to consider. For those looking for a compact design for your work-from-home setup, Argos has a 7-inch desk fan on sale for £12. Otherwise, for those happy to splash out, Dyson's popular Cool Tower Fan is currently on sale at Curry's. The lightweight model, now priced at £269.99 from £349.99, features 10-speed settings and includes a turn-off function after intervals ranging from 15 minutes to nine hours. Moving on to the Levoit Tower Fan, it has garnered numerous positive reviews from shoppers, boasting a solid 4.7-star rating. One person said: "Wow, this fan is super quiet. Perfect for the bedroom at night. The functions are great and easy to use. Great design. Well worth the money." A second person chimed in: "I've had this fan for a couple of weeks now, and let me say it's a game changer. Worth every penny. Quick and easy to put together. "Once on, it's the quietest fan I've ever owned. Cools the room down quick, and the best feature is the night mode, which automatically adjusts to the room temp as it gets cooler or hotter." However, not everyone was as impressed. This shopper said: "This Levoit tower fan works just fine at first — it's quiet, the remote is handy, and the airflow is decent. It functions well and helps keep the room cool. But honestly, it feels just like any other basic tower fan. There's nothing particularly unique or impressive about it." Another customer had some good things to say but had a couple of notes: "Been using this fan for a few weeks now. It is placed in the bedroom, and I use it every night at the moment. It produces a good amount of cool air and, as described, a low amount of noise. "However, I don't find the fan quite tall enough for my needs. And I would have preferred that the display is on the top because even in night mode, when the settings are changed, the screen lights up the bedroom in the dark." Another said they found it had a "very faint higher pitched mechanical sound" which they found irritating. However, a happier reviewer added: " I love love love this fan! It's so quiet, lightweight and the power it has. "It goes all the way up to 12, but 4 is the highest I've had it on, in 25°C weather. The remote is great, so you don't have to get up, and the nighttime feature is also brilliant. 10/10 would recommend."
