‘Best-selling’ oscillating fan has ‘powerful cooling capabilities’

With a heat wave truly upon the UK, it comes as no surprise that, although people are loving the sunshine, it is getting horribly warm indoors. Nobody wants to be stuck indoors with no breeze, which is why many may be scrambling last minute to grab themselves an indoor fan.

There is no need to break the bank when getting a fan – after all, the warm weather may not stick around for long – and often a simple option does the best job. Luckily, shoppers can now get the Generic 16 Oscillating Electric Fan for £18.95 on Amazon to fulfill all their needs over the next couple of weeks.

The lightweight fan could be an ideal choice for anywhere in the home, such as the bedroom to help with those sweaty nights, the living room to add some fresh cool air, or even in the office to keep everyone happy and free from overheating while they work. It also has an adjustable height feature so shoppers could have it right at face level if they are sitting at a desk and want a refreshing cool air blast.

With three speed settings and oscillating features, the versatile fan can do the job for a low price. Shoppers can feel free to move the 16 inch fan around, as it has a built-in carry handle and is said to be simple and easy to assemble. If there are kids running about homes, there is no need to worry as it also comes with a safety grill.

ALternatives include the Shark FlexBreeze Black Pedestal Fan for £199 from Argos. This fan has five speed settings, variable speed options, includes a remote control, has an adjustable tilt and is oscillating, too. The freestanding fan has a height of 95 cm and has power up to 36W. Currys also has a LOGIK 16 inch Pedestal Fan for £34.99 which comes with three speeding settings, has a power of 50W and also can pivot, oscillate and tilt. 

Shoppers have rated the Generic 16 fan quite highly, with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating from a total of 24,159 reviews on Amazon. For example, one customer wrote: “I recently purchased the fan, and it has completely exceeded my expectations in every way. From its powerful cooling capabilities to its modern design, this fan is an exceptional addition to any home or office.”

Another said: “Quick and easy set up, I would highly recommend it.”

“This was much more powerful than I imagined and has become our go to fan in the summer,” said another shopper.

“It has a sturdy stand that hasn’t been knocked over even with a toddler running around. I’m very glad to have this on hot days.”

Not everyone felt the same way about the fan, however, as one person said: “Very cheap plastic. It works well but it can break so easily.”

Another wrote: “Unfortunately a little disappointed with this fan. It was a bit tricky to put together with not very clear instructions.”

For a quick and affordable solution that is guaranteed to keep people warm during the hotter days, the Generic 16 Oscillating Electric Fan could be the one.
