ANSIO 30-Inch Tower Fan with Remote – Bladeless, Oscillating, Standing Portable Electric Cooling Fan for Bedroom and Office, 7.5-Hour Timer, 3 Speeds – Black

Bought this to get us through the heatwave and it’s been amazing. Relatively quiet for a fan, yes you can hear it but it’s a steady drone in the background which you can tune out. I usually can’t sleep properly with any noise at night but we’ve had it on every night for the last 3 weeks and it’s been so much easier to sleep in this heat, the noise hasn’t been problematic at all. The different functions are good and I love the remote. Being able to lie in bed with the fan at the end and still change the settings is great! Only thing we’ve had an issue with is that we have a 2 foot high bed and the fan is only about 3 foot, but we solved this by putting the fan on a sturdy wide footstool throughout the night. The cooling range is really good, we’ve been moving it around the house with us and it can fill a large room with a gentle breeze on oscillate. On the subject of moving it’s quite light and easy to pick up, and it doesn’t take up too much space. We have used the timer functions a few times at night which are good, but I found myself waking up when the fan turned off, possibly because the noise stopped. Instead of using the timer we’ve had the fan running basically 24/7 for the last week and it’s had no problems at all and I’ve not been woken up at night by it. I’m really glad I bought this fan and would definitively recommend it. It’s a lot cheaper than the high end ones but works brilliantly. Don’t forget your remote batteries though, 2xAAA!

I got this after that crazy heatwave in the summer (2017) since during that week all fans were emptied from the shelves across the country! :D After looking through many MANY different fans, I thought this was a good one, but I saw soooooo many mixed reviews that I really didn't know what to expect. But, knowing that my money is safe with Amazon, I ordered this for £45, which is way better than the cheaper version (£35) without a remote control. I mean, it even had a twisting spring timer instead of buttons! (FFS, what is this, the 1950s?!). As visible from the pictures, this one has a very nice sleek interface on the top. It came very well packaged (as expected) and took hardly any time to assemble. It LITERALLY had 2 plastic half-plates and one screw to affix to the bottom! Anyone with a modicum of COMMON SENSE could assemble that in a minute, yet some people were crying on the comment section on how it's not doable (it even came with an instruction manual FFS!) or how the wire goes underneath and makes it unsteady (HOW STUPID ARE SOME PPL!?! SMH). My guess is that these people have problems putting their pants on the right way and are phased by things 5 year old do easily. Anyhoo... The item works perfectly (both for a big room and a living room), and after that heatwave (where it was around 35 in London) I haven't used the high setting anymore. The low setting is absolutely fine for low 20s temperatures, and hardly makes a sound (the high setting does, but in that kind of heat the last thing you care about is your fan making some noise). It has sleep and nature modes as well, which I personally didn't see a need to use. It has a great stylish timer which can be set for 0.5 hr up to 7.5 hrs in 0.5 hr intervals. And obviously, and oscillating function too. P.S. Naturally, ss a tower fan it has pros and cons compared with a traditional standing fan. It makes a bit more sound (but hardly worth thinking about) but is more compact and stylish.

This device turned up promptly. It was not heavy on arrival so I found the package easy to carry to the space where it was needed. It took 3-4 minutes to assemble easily. Even though it felt a bit "plastic/cheap", I have not had any problems, it fans very well, looks nice and great for the price. The device has various settings, low to high, normal, nature and night, plus a remote control that can be used to change settings without hassle (remember to buy the correct batteries, they are not included). The higher settings blow well and the night and nature settings are rhythmic and not obtrusive. It also moves left to right if needed. The higher levels are a bit noisier, though, more like background noise. For a floor fan that sits easily away in corners, nooks and cranny's and looks nice, it does its job well. It is a floor fan, so, if you want something that blows more towards the upper torso, I suggest it is sat on a table or similar. Due to its light weight and handle, moving it around is very easy. It feels like it probably would not last long if it was dropped accidentally or fell over. I am happy with my purchase, I like the fact that it does not take up much space and can easily blend into its surroundings. I have had no electrical faults with my purchase to date (I have had my fan for two weeks).
