Cool It, Lads: The Fans You Actually Want This Summer
Summer’s here, and if you’re still sweating your bollocks off with that £20 desk fan from Tesco, it’s time to grow up. Proper cooling isn’t just for your nan’s bungalow anymore — these Duux fans are quiet, clever, and won’t make your living room look like a builder’s site cabin. We’ve hand‑picked three that’ll sort you out, whether you’re working from home, smashing FIFA, or just trying to survive the next heatwave without passing out on the sofa.
Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan – £249.99
Cordless. Smart. Ridiculously good.
This isn’t just a fan; it’s the Rolls Royce of breeze machines. Fully cordless with up to 12 hours of battery life, 30 speed settings (yes, thirty), and a whopping 17m wind reach. Stick it by your desk, drag it into the garden for a BBQ, or plonk it bedside for night‑time chill without sounding like a jet engine taking off. Smart sensors keep the temp bang on, and it flips from pedestal to tabletop in seconds.

Whisper 2 Fan – £139.99
Serious power without the racket.
The dual‑blade design on this bad boy pumps out air up to 15 metres, which is basically your entire flat sorted. With 26 speeds, adjustable height, side‑to‑side and up‑and‑down tilt, plus a 12‑hour timer, it’s the fan equivalent of a Swiss Army knife. And the magnetic remote? No more fumbling in the dark when you’ve lost it down the sofa cushions.
Rize Fan – £79.99
Pocket‑sized cool for on‑the‑go geezers.
Lightweight, USB‑C rechargeable and with a 15‑hour battery life, the Rize is perfect if you’re forever bouncing between the office, the gym, and the pub garden. Weighing just 1kg, it’ll slip in your bag, sit on your bedside table, or keep you sane on sweaty train rides. Four speeds, tilts wherever you want it, and doesn’t make you look like a weirdo lugging a giant fan around.
Bottom line?
Ditch the cheap plastic tat. Get something that actually cools you down and looks good doing it. With Duux, you’re sorted – whether you’re working, chilling, or just trying not to melt in your own living room.
