With temperatures hitting the high 30s this week in the UK, it has been a battle to stay cool, particularly at home where for most of us, air-conditioning isn't an option.
While there are plenty of things you can do to help keep you comfortable in a heatwave (like switching to linen bedding, for example) for quick and easy relief, an electric cooling fan is your friend.

Amazon is already a go-to for the sort of household items we need in a hurry and the site has a huge range to choose from. In the Kitchen and Home Appliances category, Q Connect has taken the bestseller spot with its selection of fans, offering a variety of models suited to different purposes.
The range runs the gamut from a compact desk fan to floor-standing, wall-mounted and tower models. The largest of these options comes in at no more than £25.99, which we think is a bit of a bargain.
These fans have currently racked up over 2000 reviews and an impressive four star rating, with buyers praising their low noise levels and ease of assembly. “I bought this fan to replace a similar one and now realise how loud the old one was,” says one reviewer who opted for the tower model. “It’s good value for money.”
We think that at this price, and for the sake of your sanity in the heat, these fans are a steal.
