11 powerful fans from £40 to £100 to keep you cool during the upcoming heatwave, from big brands like Dyson and Meaco

The temperature is set to soar over the next week, reaching over 30C in parts of the UK, so if you don’t already have a fan handy, this is the time to grab one. Thankfully you don’t have to pay a lot for something powerful enough to keep you cool, and here I’ve rounded up a collection of 11 great options ranging from £39.99 to £99.99.

Yes, you can find cheaper fans on Amazon, but I’ve been careful to only pick models from brands that I trust, or that I’ve tested myself. For example, the cheapest model here, the Dimplex Desk Fan, is currently sitting right beside me while I work. It might look simple, but its four power modes pack a real punch, it’s rechargeable so you can carry it anywhere, and it folds down flat when not in use.
