About this deal

The AER RGB fans are available in 120mm and 140mm sizes. We’re looking at the 140mm versions here. The fans have a coloured band of LEDs running around the periphery of the fan. This is only visible from one direction. The best thing about this fan is that instead of taking batteries, it recharges via a USB lead. The charge last around seven hours on average, depending on what mode you use most. Recharging takes five. Next, you have to hook up the four-pin power connectors for each fan. Normally there’s an inset area on each corner that allows you to route the cables easily, but the completely cuboid shape of the Aer fans means that you need a little extra space along the outside for your cables to run. I opted to put the power connectors on the same side of my case as my motherboard, keeping them out of sight. The final step was the most annoying. Basically, you have to run cables from the Hue+ to your first fan, then from the first fan to the second fan, and so on until all of your fans are connected. (This means there’s one slot left on the Hue+ you can use for something else, e.g. the gorgeous Hue+ lighting strips). Again, there’s no groove to route the cables on the fans, so these cables also have to sit somewhere outside. Thankfully, the Manta case we’re using does have a lot of extra internal space to play with and the cables are quite thin, so it’s not the end of the world.

Where the data is available, look for a fan with a higher airflow than 150m³ per hour as a measure of its cooling power. Most of the fans we recommend are three to ten times more powerful than that on their highest settings.It’s also very quiet on its lowest settings, with a whispery minimum noise level of 20db and a maximum of 60db (roughly equivalent to the noise from a dishwasher). It has an ‘eco’ mode that adjusts the speed of the fan based on the temperature of the room, a ‘natural’ mode that replicates a breeze, plus a sleep timer, night light and a handy magnetic remote. You can get the Aer RGB in various configurations with and without the HUE+ controller, which is needed for the fans to operate. The handle folds in half to create a stand so that it can be propped up on the table. The fan has three speed settings ranging from quiet (I can vouch that it’s quiet enough to use during a tennis match) to reasonably powerful. As soon as the temperature breaches 20 degrees in the UK, everyone goes looking for the best fan to cool their bedroom or workspace. Compared to air conditioning, electric fans are cheaper, smaller, lighter, more energy efficient (most costing around 1p an hour to run) and have an instant cooling effect on sweaty skin.

Once everything is connected, you’re ready to actually place your fans within your case (if you haven’t done this already). Note that the RGB lighting is on one side only, so you may need to change your case’s airflow if you want the lighting to be easily visible from one side. I had planned to have the fans mounted at the front and facing inwards, but that made the fans exhausts instead of intakes. Ultimately, I changed the orientation of the fans, ensuring my case’s airflow worked as it did before but hiding some of the RGB lighting. We recorded temperatures at idle and under load, then compared the results with our original NZXT Manta case fans and our Corsair ML140 replacements. Idle We used the Decibel 10th app and a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to measure the noise levels of the test rig at idle and under load. Measurements were made six inches from front of the PC, where the fans were installed. It has an easy-to-use sleep timer and an ‘Auto’ mode that adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature. However, the reason I loved it is that you genuinely want to have on display. Let’s face it, fans aren’t always stylish, but the Dyson’s bladeless loop is a thing of beauty. Other details are also well thought out, right down to the compact remote that can be stored magnetically on top of the fan.

The best stylish fans

Start by folding your two square pieces of paper accordion style into 1cm folds. However, if you have a scalloped edge, be sure to keep this in the outside edges as you fold. Once folded, press down on your fan shape to secure the folds; you can use a ruler for this.

Pedestal fans, which consist of a circular bladed unit on top of a stand, tend to be more powerful than tower fans. Some, such as the Duux above, can be converted between a desk and pedestal fan by removing the stand. The con of bladeless fans is they tend to be much more expensive owing to the technology. If you can afford it, bladeless fans take the edge for us, but a regular blade fan is perfectly adequate. Finally, if we’re honest, not many fans look nice. If you’re buying one for your home, consider biting the bullet price-wise and investing in a futuristic, bladeless Dyson or an unobtrusive tower fan.Tower fans are a better choice for bedrooms or living rooms, since they don’t take up much room on the floor but reach a larger area than a desk fan would. A note on availability: during warm temperatures, many of the fans we recommend sell out. Where possible, we will recommend alternative retailers or similar fans. These colourful fans look great and perform well too, but everything comes at a cost. For the Aer RGB, that’s wiring complexity and a free internal USB 2.0 header. However, after the fiddly installation is completed, you’ll be glad you went through the effort. Specs & Features Dimensions American brand Honeywell is one of the biggest names in the world for fans (and heaters), known best for its commercial products but increasingly popular in the domestic space. Honeywell fans are known for being quiet without sacrificing on power. To finish off, the card is decorated with mini pearls; these add such a pretty 3D effect to the card. Cardmaking can be as easy or difficult as you want it to be, it’s all about being creative and personalising your creation.
