I’ve tried a £180 and £50 fan — this is how they compare

If the heatwave the UK experienced at the end of May this year is anything to go by, we are in for a toasty summer.

And if the temperature hitting 30°C and above has highlighted that you need to upgrade to one of the best fans around, then it’s important to understand what you get for your money. After all, many fans now have price tags well over £100.

But is it worth spending more on a fan or are you just paying more for the sake of it? I’ve been testing a whole host of fans with a range of different price tags for the last three months, and this is how a more affordable fan compares to a more expensive one.
