The John Lewis tower fan to keep you cool at home this summer: 'Almost as good as air-conditioning'
Remember last year's heatwave? While it may feel like a lifetime ago, we still recall how much we struggled to stay cool, especially without a fan for respite.
It's nowhere near scorching temperatures just yet but as the weather warms up, it's the perfect time to get organised ahead of time and stock up on a fan.
Don't get us wrong, we're total sun worshippers and in no hurry for the clouds or the rain to roll back in –but when temperatures hit 35 degrees, it was arguably unbearable.
Instead of waiting for it to get hot and then desperately trying last minute to order a fan, stay ahead of the crown and add this John Lewis' Tower Fan (30 inch) to your basket ASAP.
Over the last week, it's shot to the top of John Lewis' bestseller list, so make sure you don't miss out by ordering one yourself.
Why we rate it
This 30 inch £50 fan comes with adjustable controls for different wind types and six breeze settings so you can change it accordingly throughout the day and the night.
The device also has variable speed settings to keep you at just the right level of coolness and there’s even a nighttime setting to make sleeping comfortably a little easier.
Plus, with a 90-degree oscillating fan head, you can ensure the entire room is cooled down, and just set the automatic timer to save energy.
It also comes with a wireless remote, so you can simply change the speed without having to get up from your home office chair.
What the reviews say
Online there are over 290 five-star reviews from satisfied shoppers. Here's what some had to say:
"I bought this fan ahead of the summer and used it already a few times. It is sturdy in build and easy to use. Cools the living room in no time, definitely recommended!"
"Very easy to use, excellent value for money, we are delighted with our purchase."
"This is an excellent fan. It's floor standing but takes up little room and is quite modern and stylish in design. It cools quickly and runs quietly especially on sleep mode. It has a very useful timer so you can set it to go off when asleep. Also remote control so you can restart if room warms up again. Also rotates quietly unlike some other floor standing fans out there! Had one last year and came back for two more this year to replace other less efficient and noisier fans. Would definitely recommend."
"Very useful that it can be operated from the handset and can be set to turn off after the selected time. Neat and compact."
"Great product from John Lewis as always. It is not quiet, and agree with the others mentioning that there is not a difference between two of the three settings of strength. It does the job tho and keeps my flat cold during a very hot London summer."
