Swan 12” Silence & Turbo Desk Fan

£34.99

As the weather has been heating up in recent months, I’ve been relying heavily on my fan at night to keep my room cool and allow me to sleep without overheating. However, my current fan is quite loud and no longer delivers the same level of cooling as it once did. So, when I saw the Swan 12-inch desk fan which has both a silent and turbo function, I knew I had to give it a go.

The Swan 12” Silence & Turbo Desk Fan delivers efficient air circulation capabilities to deliver powerful and customised cooling. The fan achieves this through its 5 top-quality blades, which efficiently circulate air in two main functions. The first function is turbo, to deliver a higher windspeed for faster and more powerful cooling. This setting puts out only about 68 dB of sound, making it great for cooling large rooms or offices.

However, my favourite part of the fan is the silence function, which delivers great cooling and airflow, while only outputting 42dB of sound. This was a game changer for sleeping at night, as I no longer had the loud humming of my fan keeping me awake. To switch between the settings and change the speed of the fan you just need to move the intuitive dial on the front of the fan making it super easy to use.

The desk fan does take a little assembly straight out of the box, as you need to install the back casing, then the fan, and finally the front casing. I did find this a little fiddly but it didn’t take too much time to have the fan ready to use. Once assembled the oscillation of the fan is super great, although I do think it needs to be put on a slightly higher-up cabinet or nightstand to deliver a more even all-round cooling at night. I personally sat it on my desk next to my bed and it was perfect for all-round cooling at night.   

If you’re looking to make your office or room more comfortable at all times of the day, the Swan 12” Silence & Turbo Desk Fan is a great all-around option. From its quiet setting for sleeping to optimum power output on the turbo setting, you never have to suffer in the heat again. I especially think it makes a great option for students who are about to start university, as a great desktop fan is essential for keeping those small dorm rooms cool!

Pros:

• Useful control dials to control settings
• Turbo setting which is great for quick and efficient cooling
• Silent 43dB noise setting for easy sleeping at night

Cons:

• A little fiddly to put the main casing together
