• Major retailers including Amazon, Dunelm, Boots and B&Q have cut fan prices by as much as 23 per cent to meet rising demand.
• The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan has surged in popularity thanks to its misting feature that can lower perceived temperature by up to 6C and up to 24 hours of cordless use.
• Shoppers praise the FlexBreeze for its quiet yet powerful airflow but warn that battery life can be shorter on higher settings.
• Other discounted best-sellers include Dyson’s Cool AM07 tower fan and models from Honeywell and JYMIPA offering oscillation, remote control and humidification functions.
