Best electric fan deals for June 2025

Our Pick: Duux Whisper Pedestal Fan

Our main gripe is that the touch screen is a pain to use, and it's not easy to find the setting you want. So we'd recommend sticking to using the remote control instead.

How to spot a good deal on a portable air conditioner or electric fan

Sam Morris, Which? home cooling expert, says:

• Make sure the deal is genuine. We check the deal price against the average and cheapest prices in the last six months, so you can be confident the deals we highlight on this page are decent. If you spot something we haven’t featured, sites like Price Runner and camelcamelcamel (for Amazon) can give you a sense of what price the model has been at recently.
• Don’t be sucked into getting an air conditioner that’s too large or powerful for your room just because it’s on offer. An air con’s output is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). The BTU can help you calculate what size unit you’ll need. All you have to do is multiply the dimensions (in feet) of your room by five and you’ll get an idea. So if your room measures 15 feet x 10 feet x 8 feet, calculating 15 x 10 x 8 x 5 gives you 6,000 - so this is the BTU you’ll need from your portable air conditioner.
• If you’re concerned about a portable air conditioner's running costs, look for one with a good energy efficiency ratio (EER). This is the ratio between an air conditioner's BTU and its power input (in watts). Generally, the higher the EER rating, the more efficient it is, and the lower your electricity bills will be.
