Depending on where you stay, summer can get sweltering and an excellent fan will make it bearable.
Unlike air-conditioners, fans are exceptionally energy efficient and save you a not-insignificant amount of money. All fans work on the same principle of pushing air around but not all of them are built to the same quality.
Fans differ in how they cool the air stream and their features. Some fans act with an air purifier to clean the air while others use evaporate coolers to reduce the temperature.
When buying a fan, we also need to consider size, rotation speed, price, efficiency, and noise. We have compiled a list of some of the best fans in the current year for your pursual.
