milkymarsh Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Got ours from dunelm mill for £12. Brilliant, so quiet you can have it on at night and if needed it really makes air move when on high. It's a 12 inch oscillating desk/table fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barum Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 How about something like THIS ? I've ordered one for using in our 'van, only 30 watt and not a bad price? Quote Brian the Snail, (I miss the Magic Roundabout!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinShack Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I find all tangential fans to be noisy, as is the Dyson, and prefer the conventional 4 vane type. We have an old Philips with 3 speeds, and it is inaudible on the lowest speed. Fine for use at night. Unfortunately larger is better for air volume vs noise.

Well I know I'm going to sound thick but I haven't a clue, WHAT tangential means!??? I'd be guessing at 4 vane being the propellor ones??? . . I need a lesson in science/physics!!!!

I need a lesson in science/physics!!!! Sorry! Tangential is like the one in post #4. Yes I meant I preferred the 4 blade like a propeller. The tangential style have more thin slats and tend to be noisier. A well designed (amazing how much technology is used in designing propeller blades!) 4-blade works very well but is perhaps a less convenient shape. A 12" size is a good compromise in size vs air flow, still moving plenty of air at low speeds, as you get down to 6-8" they clearly move a lot less air and need a higher speed to compete. Probably just muddied the water for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dyson fan is definitely quieter than ANY other fan Ive used, I have one here in front of me now and it's inaudible the lowest speed and very quiet on the fastest.

Shirl250 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) We bought an ordinary desk top fan years ago from B&Q. It lives in the caravan. It must be about 15 inches across, maybe smaller ? It is really effective. It saved us when we were in the Vendee and it was 40+ degrees during the day. It meant we slept at least !
