How to choose a fan
Portable fans
Portable fans are the biggest group in this range. Pedestal and tower fans suit bedrooms and living areas, while desk fans suit small spaces. Cordless rechargeable fans are handy for camping, power outages and outdoor areas. Check the height, oscillation, speed settings and timer on each listing.
Ceiling fans
Ceiling fans, which shoppers search for often, give steady airflow without taking floor space. DC motor models with remotes and LED lights are common here. Many are listed for indoor and outdoor use, which suits verandas and covered patios. Ceiling fans need a licensed electrician to install.
Exhaust and inline fans
Exhaust fans remove steam, smells and heat. Inline duct fans, such as 15 cm (6 inch) models, suit grow tents, workshops and ventilation runs. Match the fan to your duct size and check airflow and noise.
Noise, power and controls
For bedrooms, look for a quiet or sleep mode. Remotes, timers and app control add convenience. Most fans here are plastic, with metal and timber looks on some ceiling fans.
Price guide
Fans start from about $20, with most around $40 to $50. Ceiling fans and larger units cost more. See the Devanti range, or browse hydroponics for ventilation gear.
