I’ve got a Prem-I-Air one, also with an 18 inch fan. I’m sure I paid around £40 a few years ago maybe from Ebay. I think there are a good number to choose from around that price point and I’m sure they’ll all be decent. Mine replaced one with a 12 inch fan and was significantly better. ---

I’ve got an aircon unit on wheels that I use. Was about £100 in the sales a few years back. Do train in my garage though, the outlet hose slides under part open garage door. Major benefit of aircon is I don’t drop sweat everywhere. ---

I’m using a couple of HOneywell fans off Amazon - Were £26.99 each. They do the job. Still sweat buckets, but I think of it as good heat training for summer 🙂 ---

Pop to Screwfix and pick up a 18-20" Floor Fan. I have an 18" floorfan and 2 Honeywell HT900E (the small black fans often seen on tripods/zwift setups). I see users often boast about the Honeywell’s being better than big floor fans because the flow is more focused and they usually end up with about 6 of the things. Absolute tripe. The flow is more focused but the volume of air they shift is pitiful if you run really hot like I do. They are quiet though and when it’s cooler or the ride is less intense they’re a good substitute for when a floor fan, even on its lowest setting, is overkill. ---

I recommend getting one with a remote control. My separate remote gives me on/off capability, but it would be better if it controlled the speed of the fan as well. ---

The only issue I’d see with a floor fan is you can’d adjust anything while on the bike? If you train in a cold environment you might want to turn it down, especially when in recovery periods. I have a tall version similar to the screwfix one which is in reach so I can grab the fan and alter the speed. The reason I bought my fan was because of it’s review “This fan is way too powerful, even on the lowest setting”. Yes please I’ll take it! 🙂 You can probably get something cheaper, pretty sure I paid nearer to £30. > **[Pro ELEC PEL00305 16" Metal Pedestal Fan With Tiltable Head & 3 Speed...](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-Pedestal-Fan-3-Speed-Oscillating-Chrome-Metal-Finish-PEL00305-N7EZ/332825703771?epid=715889535&hash=item4d7df5355b:g:fBQAAOSwe2ZbsgWl)** > > Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Pro ELEC PEL00305 16" Metal Pedestal Fan With Tiltable Head & 3 Speed Settings at the best online prices at eBay!

Not for you perhaps but I have decided to put a few quid away every week or so and buy a Wahoo Headwind for £200. Have seen them and know how powerful they are and someone responded to my question with a very cool review. Notice that - COOL - review Vastly over-priced but I did think I would treat myself. I have just calculated today that I have done 23K miles in the last 4 years of which over half are on the turbo and that ratio is much higher now than it was 4 years ago. ---

I used a [18 inches Rowenta fan](https://houseweather.org/best-pedestal-fan/#product1), and it’s not bad so far. Someone else reported they were not good, and to be fair mine is new and hardly used. I will start using it again soon probably. It has 5 speeds, moves a bit of air and is not too noisy, but the clip is pretty shitty in that it’s not very movable/directionable in situ, they don’t oscillate and so can be a bitch to point where you want them when clipped to the tent pole. The clip is good though and there other places to clip it other than the poles. I hung mine from the ceiling struts in the end. ---

I got one of these in a sale from B&Q for about £12. The quality of the stand isn’t good but I have never had to turn it up more than the first speed. Due to my bench/TV setup I can’t really get it far enough away from me and it could do with a 0.5 speed. > **[White 16" 40W Pedestal fan | DIY at B&Q](https://www.diy.com/departments/white-16-40w-pedestal-fan/1270268_BQ.prd)** > > Keep your home cool with the help of this pedestal fan from Blyss. It comes with 3 speed settings for added temperature control and has a 90 degree oscillation. In the summer if really hot I have used a portable aircon unit but I don’t think I’ll need that again with this fan. ---

I’d recommend this as well, very direct and noticeable airflow. Much more effective than a normal fan [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/recommend-me-a-floor-fan-uk/4219.md?page=2)
