If you live in the United Kingdom, most of the time you will suffer in heat wave temperatures. I have been cruelly started from the air conditioning of the office, and I have to write this with an icy matcha Latte pressed to the side of my face (wet, complicated to write, but finally necessary).
As one of the editors of Techradar houses, I write about fans as part of my work. If you are one of the many brits suddenly hunting the best fan to save you to melt in a puddle, let me help you.
The fan n. ° 1 that would buy now is the original flexbeeze of Shark. This is almost the most versatile fan of the market at this time: it can be used with cable or wireless, inside or out, and as a high pedestal fan or a concentrated cooling table. That means you can accompany you wherever you go. However, the true Trump card is that it has a nebulization attachment for a more intense cooling.
He obtained a score of 4.5 stars almost perfect in our review of Shark Flexbreze fans, and led our tester to go out immediately and buy two more.
Of course, there are other options that meet more specific needs (I will list three alternatives in a second), but if it is so cooling, most of the possible time you need, Flexbreze should adapt to the invoice.
Do I really need mist?
Why is it so useful in a fan? Well, fans don’t really reduce temperature, they just make you feel cooler by promoting evaporation in your skin. If the air in the room is already hot, there is a limit on the effect they can have. In contrast, with nebulization willpower Lower temperature, and especially if they are based on cold or cold water (imagine).
To activate the fog accessory here, you must connect the fan to a water source. If you prefer not to have to deal with that, you could opt for the Flexbreze Pro fog, which has its own water tank. It is currently available as part of a package with the Flexbreze Hydrogo portable for £ 299.98 (it was £ 379.98) in Shark. That is more an investment, but it could be worth it if you have a friend or relative who also suffers heat.
