Fans

(410 products)

A fan is the simplest way to keep cool, and the right style depends on the room. Choose from pedestal fans, tower fans for narrow spaces, desk fans, wall-mounted fans and bladeless designs. Look at oscillation, speed settings, remotes and timers, and check noise levels if the fan will run overnight in a bedroom.

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.

Fans: common questions

What type of fan is best for a bedroom?

Tower and pedestal fans with a sleep mode, timer and remote suit bedrooms. A DC motor ceiling fan is also quiet and keeps the floor clear. Check noise and speed settings on each listing.

Can I use a fan outdoors?

Many ceiling fans here are listed for indoor and outdoor use, which suits verandas and covered patios. Portable fans are usually for indoors or sheltered spots. Check each listing for its rating and keep fans out of direct rain.

What size inline exhaust fan do I need?

Match the fan to your duct diameter, such as 15 cm (6 inch), and check the airflow rating against the space you need to ventilate. Larger spaces and longer duct runs need more airflow.

Are rechargeable fans worth it?

Cordless rechargeable fans are handy for camping, outdoor areas, the car and power outages. Check battery run time and charging method on each listing, as these vary a lot by model.

Do ceiling fans need an electrician?

Yes. Ceiling and wired exhaust fans need to be installed by a licensed electrician. Portable fans simply plug into a power point or run on a battery, so they need no installation at all.

How many speeds does a fan have?

Speed settings vary by model, and DC ceiling fans often offer more settings than portable fans. Check the speed settings, oscillation and timer on each listing. Lower speeds are quieter for sleeping.
