Bladeless Fan Reviews
- Bladeless, compact, and tidy enough to fit into tight spaces like bedrooms or home offices
- Pushes a surprising amount of air, with good reach and consistent cooling
- At just 28dB, it’s quieter than most fridges—perfect for light sleepers
- The removable rear grille and accessible impeller make maintenance hassle-free
- Much cheaper than a Dyson, but still delivers solid performance
- Lacks app support or voice assistant features if you’re building a smart home setup
- Works best in bedrooms, studies, or small living spaces—less effective in open-plan areas
I’ve tested a fair few bladeless fans over the years, but the Dreo 28dB Silent Tower Fan really caught me off guard—in a good way. I bought it after getting fed up with the low hum of our old pedestal fan that somehow managed to sound like a lawnmower every time it was on full blast. Safe to say, this one’s been a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively.
The main reason I went for this model was the promise of ultra-quiet performance—and it absolutely delivered. On Sleep mode, it’s so quiet that I had to double-check it was actually on. At just 28 decibels, it’s no louder than a whisper. The screen even turns off automatically in Sleep mode, so there’s no annoying glow lighting up the room. If you’re a light sleeper like me, this alone makes it worth the money.
This tower fan is just over 3 feet tall, but don’t let the slim frame fool you. It pushes air out at an impressive speed—up to 25 feet per second—and the 90° oscillation really helps circulate the cool air around the room. I mostly use it in our bedroom, but I’ve wheeled it into the lounge on hotter days, and it’s done a decent job keeping things comfortable.
You can choose from four speeds and four modes (Normal, Natural, Sleep, and Auto). I’ve found Auto mode handy in the home office—it adjusts based on room temperature, so I can get on with work without fiddling with settings.
One thing I appreciate is how well thought-out the design is. It’s got a neat little handle at the back for carrying it from room to room, and the remote stores away in a hidden compartment so you’re not constantly losing it down the side of the sofa.
Cleaning it is straightforward too. The back grille pops off easily, and you can get to the impeller without having to dismantle the whole thing. I give it a quick wipe and vacuum once a month, and it still looks and runs like new.
As a bladeless fan, it’s not only quieter but also much safer—especially with kids around. There’s no chance of little fingers getting caught, and it looks far sleeker than those old-school fans with cage grilles and spinning blades. It feels like a premium bit of kit without the Dyson price tag.
In my opinion, especially during these hot and uncomfortable nights, the Dreo bladeless fan is the best on the market, and well worth your consideration.

- Purifies the air as whilst cooling - good for people with allergies
- Sturdy build that’s difficult to topple over
- Fan is very quiet on sleep mode
- Easy to install the air filter in just a few minutes
- Power cable is a little short at 1.5 m, so some users may need an extension cord
- Battery does not come included with remote control and needs to be purchased separately
Combining an air purifier with an oscillating fan, the U ULTTY Bladeless Fan with Air Purifier filters and cleans whilst it cools.
For this reason, it’s one of the best bladeless fans for anyone who suffers with dust allergies. The fan works to remove impurities from the air whilst delivering a cooling blast. Reports from customers suggest that it does improve air quality and make a noticeable difference for those who struggle with dust or pollen allergies.
It can oscillate 90° and also tilt through 15°, making it possible to angle as required; however, it does need to be positioned on a raised surface because at 68 cm tall it is more of a desk fan than a free-standing model.
The purifier uses a HEPA filter to capture dust, pollen, smoke and odours. These filters are replaceable, and replacements can be purchased separately (although one filter comes included). The fan can also be used without a filter, as a standard fan without any purifying function.
Also, for those who struggle with heat and air quality whilst nodding off, there is an eight hour timer so it can be programmed to automatically power down once you’re asleep.
There’s a remote control included, but the fan’s settings can also be adjusted by the touch-sensitive buttons on the unit itself.
Overall, it’s a good quality fan that can make a difference the the air quality as well as help with keeping cool during warm days and nights. One thing to bear in mind is that a CR2025 battery needs to be purchased separately for the remote, as one doesn’t come supplied.

- The built in essential oils tray means this fan doubles up as an aroma diffuser
- All 3 power modes should be powerful enough to cool you during a heat wave
- Stylish white build looks good in most rooms
- Lightweight and the carry handle at the top means it’s easy to move from room to room
- Doesn’t come with a remote so needs to be adjusted using the control panel
- No timer function which is disappointing
- Fixing the two pieces that make up the base together is a little fiddly
The PureMate Bladeless Tower Fan is a bladeless fan with a twist. Not only will it keep your home cool during a heatwave, it also has a built-in essential oil tray. This tray can be filled with an oil of your choice to fill your home with your favourite aroma!
This fan is both powerful and efficient. There are three power modes to choose from, so you should have a setting for anything from a warm day to a full-on heatwave. At just 60 W, this fan can be left on all day with no worries of costly bills. This also keeps it quiet, so most sleepers should find it doesn’t disturb them. Very light sleepers may wish to purchase a model with a specific sleep mode.
The design of this fan is another benefit. It’s sleek and convenient, just 31” tall and designed to fit into smaller spaces. The 70° oscillation means it can cool a wide area. With a lightweight build and carry handle at the top, it’s easy to move from room to room if needed.
A couple of negatives to mention. The first is that this fan doesn’t come with a remote control. It needs to be adjusted using the control panel so, if you’re changing the settings at night, you will need to get out of bed. There’s also no timer function which is a little disappointing given the price of this fan.
The final thing to note is that this fan does require some assembly. While this is relatively easy, putting the two base pieces together can be fiddly.
Overall, this is one of the best bladeless fans on the market if you don’t mind sacrificing key features such as a timer for ease of use. It’s both powerful and efficient, which is all you really want from a fan!

- Easy to set up in 5 minutes - base simply locks together and is screwed to the base of the fan
- Comes with a remote control included so it can be controlled from a distance
- Very energy efficient so shouldn’t cause your energy bills to noticeably increase
- Quiet to run so shouldn’t disturb lighter sleepers
- Built-in oils tray allows you to add your favourite scent
- Timer can only be set for 8 hours as opposed to 12
- No way to turn off the beep when you adjust the settings
- Remote operates on the same frequency as some Smart TV boxes which can be frustrating
There’s a lot to love about the PureMate Bladeless Tower Fan & Air Purifier. This model is powerful and effective, designed for larger bedrooms, living rooms and offices.
This fan is easy to set up in just a couple of minutes, and all you need is a screwdriver. It has a tall but narrow build which allows it to fit in small spaces, while it oscillates 70° to allow it to reach every corner of the room. It comes with a remote control so it can be adjusted from a distance.
Perfect for unexpected heat waves, this fan has 3 speed settings as well as 3 wind modes. The normal, sleeping and natural wind modes are suitable for any environment. By selecting the night mode, all display lights will turn off and the air flow is a lot quieter.
This fan also has an 8 hour timer. While not quite as impressive as a 12 hour timer, this will help you control the usage and, in turn, your energy bill.
As well as a fan function, this model can be used to fill your home with your favourite aromas. There’s a built-in essential oil tray. Simply add a few drops and your home will soon be filled with your favourite scent.
With a convenient carry handle, this fan can be lifted and moved from room to room if needed. There’s also a built-in area for storing the remote control when not in use.
There’s a few small flaws to mention. The first is that the fan beeps when the settings are adjusted, which can be annoying late at night. The remote control also operates on the same frequency as some smart TV boxes. While this won’t affect everyone, it can be annoying for those it does.
Overall, this bladeless fan ticks all the boxes when it comes to both design and ease of use. It has enough power to keep you cool during a heatwave, and it comes with all the features you would need.

- Has great cooling power on it's highest level
- At only 64dB, it's also quiet enough that it won't disturb your sleep
- It's very well designed, from its appearance to its durability
- It's lightweight and easy to move from room to room
- It's not cheap!
- It's much nicer to operate from the remote, than from the unit itself
The Dyson AM07 Air Multiplier Bladeless Tower Fan is a model that I purchased almost five years ago. So it’s safe to say I can come at this review from a point of great experience with this product!
It’s helped my family through a lot of hot summers in recent times, but the question is, whether it’s worth the Dyson-price-tag or not…
Firstly, let’s talk about it’s design. It’s sleek, modern and futuristic looking. It almost goes beyond just a fan, to a statement piece of home furniture. It’s not just a bladessless fan, it’s a Dyson! Which is credit to the great branding.
Weighing in at 5kg, it’s also pretty lightweight. During the summer we’re constantly moving it from room to room, and you can do this with great ease.
It’s also deceptively stable. A lot of these tower fans look like the’d easily tip, but the Dyson is clearly weighted well at the bottom. It would take something very purposeful to actually knock it over.
Which leads me to my next point, it’s durability. There’s no escaping it’s an expensive piece of kit, but actually, having got five years solid use out of it, I’d argue it’s pretty decent value for money. You can tell from the pictures, mine has had its fair share of knocks and scuffs, but I can’t fault it’s durability one bit.
Now let’s discuss sleeping!
Obviously, one of the main benefits of buying a bladeless fan (beyond the safety point) is that they’re notoriously quieter. And that runs true for the Dyson. At 64dB, it very much operates in the background of your hearing. It’s not silent of course, but it’s not disturbing either and has never hindered me from falling asleep.
In terms of operating it, it comes with easy to use remote control. It has a clever little magnet inside, so it’ll stick to the top of the fan to stop your loosing it.
Needless to say, mine still managed to go missing a few years ago, but getting a replacement wasn’t hard at all. I’d say when operating the fan from the unit itself, the buttons are a little awkward to press, so you really want to look after the remote – especially when using regularly during the summertime.
So, wrapping up. Is the Dyson bladess fan worth the money?
In my opinion, yes. On it’s highest level (10) it’s got really powerful air flow to keep you cool, whilst operating at a 2-3 at night will keep you cool without disturbing you. It looks great, is safe around kids or pets and is very easy to use. My model has lasted me years, and I’m very happy with it.

- Looks aesthetically pleasing and modern, with multiple colour options to choose from
- Good power and air can be felt from a distance
- Air purifier is really useful for hayfever sufferers
- Control buttons on the unit could be more responsive
The Vortex Air™ Cleanse Bladeless Fan & Air Purifier is a model I’ve extensively tested and feel is well worth a place on our list. At such a reasonable price point, it has a lot going for it, so let’s dig into some of its most appealing features.
Firstly, from a design perspective it looks very sleek and modern. I went with the traditional white and grey, as it fits in with my bedroom decor, but it actually has 8 different colour combinations to choose from for those with more adventurous tastes!
You’ll also notice, it’s quite similar in appearance to the Dyson. It doesn’t quite have the curves of its competitor, but the Dyson is a few hundred quid more.
I would have liked the Vortex to be a bit taller (it’s 85.6cm compared to the Dyson at 100.7cm), as it think this would help keep you cool with tasks such as reading in bed, but it certainly isn’t a problem when you’re lying down.
In terms of performance, it’s really good. I tested it on full power (10 fan speed), moving further and further away and I could still feel a steady airflow from several meters.
It’s got an easy to use remote control, but the buttons on the unit itself sometimes needed a double tap to register the contact. I feel this is quite common with a lot of the fans we’ve tested, and not just unique to the Vortex.
What I also really appreciated about this model is the air purifier. My wife suffers from hayfever during the summer, and this feature really helps negate the issue at night. The filter is also really easy to replace, with the casing around the bottom of the fan coming away very easily.
Overall, I’m really quite impressed with this bladeless fan. It’s got a lot of features for the money, and those who want the appearance of a Dyson without having the spend hundreds will find it appealing too.

- Ambien light is dim enough to be used as a nightlight
- Quiet mode is sufficiently quiet for most people to go to sleep with
- LED indicator lights make it easy to see at a quick glance exactly what mode the fan is on
- Child friendly design combining light and bladeless technology
- May not be quiet enough to sleep with on higher speed settings
- Indicator LED lights can't be switched off and may be too bright for some people to go to sleep with
Bladeless fans are getting more multi-functional by the second, and the electriQ Bladeless Quiet Tower Fan is no exception. You might not even have considered combining a colourful mood light with a fan unit, but it can be a surprisingly useful feature.
The light is located in the centre of the fan, surrounding the ‘hoop’ opening; it can be either white, green, purple or blue and creates an ambient glow without being too bright. The result is a contemporary-looking lamp, combined with a fan, that doesn’t look unlike the modern EVE robot in Wall-E…
If you don’t want to use the light, either as a nightlight or colourful statement lamp, it can be switched off separately to the fan, so the fan function remains running.
The fan itself has three speed settings, can oscillate on its base, and has a sleep timer as well. The timer can be programmed for either 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours. This doesn’t give as many options as many other fans, but it will still help with saving electricity when sleeping.
On ‘quiet’ mode, which is the lowest fan setting, the noise is minimal, and suitable for most people to sleep with – it doesn’t deliver a particularly strong flow of air, but when positioned nearby seems sufficient for keeping cool on warm nights.
If you’re particularly sensitive to lights on at night, it might be worth bearing in mind that the fan’s current ‘mode’ is indicated by a small LED, and this can’t be turned off.
This is one of the best bladeless fans in terms of value for money, considering the included features and the price. For most, it may well seem like a purchase that’s easier to justify than some of the really high-end models. Plus, with the light included it could be positioned in a kid’s rooms, or in the corner of the lounge as an ambient lamp.

Product Tester
To find you the best bladeless fans on the market, I examined several models to fit various budgets and assessed each unit individually. I considered the overall design, features, ease of use, energy efficiency, and the value for money spent. Here are the different factors I examined when studying each of those elements:
- Design: I examined how sturdy and durable the model is, how likely it is to tip over, and if it was light enough to move easily (5 kg or less). Noise was an essential factor, with quiet fans getting a higher rating and those that were extra quiet (30 dB) getting a bonus rating for light sleepers. I also examined how many speed settings it had; a minimum of three settings was considered good. Those that beeped when you changed the settings got lower ratings since that can be annoying at night, while if you could turn the beeps off, they got better ratings. I also considered aesthetics, how well the design fits into your home, and whether or not it comes with changeable colour options to suit your decor.
- Features: Bladeless fans that combined an air purifier with the fan got higher ratings. If it came with a sleep mode to quiet the fan, shut off the lights, and a timer to shut off the fan, this boosted its rating. It also rated the fan better if it came with a convenient carrying handle to move from room to room and add-ons like an essential oil tray to scent your home. Furthermore, I rated the fan higher if it had an auto mode to change the speed as the temperature changed. Bonus points went to those with built-in colour-changing mood lighting since they could double as contemporary lamps.
- Ease of Use: I examined how easy the manual controls were to use and whether they had a touchscreen or remote control to make them less hassle to use. Each product got a higher rating if the remote had a clever magnet to attach it to the fan or a built-in storage spot. However, if the remote operated at the same frequency as the smart TV remote, it rated lower since that can be frustrating. I also examined their power cords; those with short cords (below 2 m) got a lower rating because some people may need an extension cord. Finally, if assembly was fast and easy it got a higher rating.
- Energy Efficiency: Those with shut-off timers got higher ratings because this feature allows you to save money on energy if you forget to turn it off. I looked at how many Watts the fan used and gave the product a higher rating if it was more energy-efficient.
- Value for Money: I looked at the quality and versatility of the fan against the money spent. Those that were particularly expensive got a lower rating, but I also factored in the quality for the price.
