Bladeless fans are more energy-efficient than traditional models, safer to use around children and pets, and easier to clean. Aesthetically speaking, they add a sleek, modern touch to any room. Some of the latest models are also equipped with useful features like air purifying capabilities, voice activation, and a variety of options for personalisation.
From floor fans to tower fans and budget-friendly options to high-end brands, we've put together this buying guide to help you pick the right cooling (or heating) solution for your home that will stand the test of time. Then, browse our top 10 selection of the best bladeless fans in the UK from Dyson, Honeywell, Black+Decker, and more.
Bladeless fans with a wide range of personalisation options such as air speed, wind mode, oscillation, and timers are practical and convenient. Let's look at some useful functions and why you might want to consider buying a fan with these options:

While traditional bladeless fans only have buttons on the machine itself, you'll find it much more convenient to go for a model with remote control functionality. For instance, if you're watching TV and it gets a little too cold, you can simply whip out the remote and the room will be back to a comfortable temperature in no time.
More advanced fans even come with Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity, which you can connect to your phone via an app and make adjustments from there. Or, if you have a smart ecosystem at home, look for fans that connect to Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant that can be voice-activated or voice-controlled. You won't even need to have the remote or your phone on you!
Don't want your computer heating up during hot months? Consider a CPU cooler.
If you plan on using the fan in a quiet space such as the study, nursery, or bedroom, look for one with a noise level of 40 dB or less. Although some models claim to be quiet, you can get a more accurate picture by looking at the decibel (dB) value. Whether you are sleeping, working, or just do not want to be disturbed, a quiet fan is great for minimising distractions and ensuring all-around comfort.
