February 2, 2023 - 4 min read

The cost of living is rising and so are the summer temperatures, but you can manage both with a cheap portable fan. Whether you’re cooling the home office with a desktop fan or dropping the degrees in your bedroom with a tower, floor or pedestal fan, summer-proofing your home is easy with these budget coolers.

“Modern and affordable fans are powerful, speedy and energy efficient, plus they’re packed with cool features that you’d once only find in high-end models,” says Scott Bazley, The Good Guys Buyer – Seasonal. “Remote controls, adjustable heights and stylish designs that won’t disrupt your decor – the latest low-cost models offer it all.”

We’ve got all the info you need to find the best-value portable fan to buy in 2023. If you’re keen on savings, you’ll be a fan of these cheap portable fans that more than get the job done.

Are Cheap Portable Fans Good?

Of course, especially if you don’t have access to an air conditioner – portable fans can be your summertime saviour! They’re adjustable and easy to cart around the house – perfect for casual cooling while you clean out that cupboard under the stairs or prepare a spare room for guests.

Worried about a big energy bill? Don’t sweat it! Portable fans are the easy and energy-efficient way to keep your house comfortable. Tower, floor and pedestal fans cost approximately three cents per hour to run, so they are a great low-cost cooling option at home.

“Running a fan and an air conditioner at the same time can also help you save on energy while helping you achieve the ideal temperature,” says Scott Bazley. “Select the eco setting on your aircon, then let your portable fan circulate the cool air and you've got the ultimate cooling dream team.”

Who Makes The Best Cheap Desk Fans?

Made to cool more than just the home office, a desk fan is the dressing table must-have for summertime make-up application. Look to brands such as Nordic and Breville for an affordable solution.

“The best desktop fans are compact and customisable. Many budget models feature small bases made to fit amongst the papers, books, monitors and keyboard on your desk,” Scott says.

Nordic’s budget model has three speed settings that’ll cover the gentle workday breeze right through to the chilly gust that’s needed after your lunchbreak workout. There’s also an adjustable tilt so you can direct the airflow just where you’d like it.

Affordable and compact, Breville’s mini portable fan won’t hog precious desk space. Simply charge via your computer’s USB port for 15 hours of fanning glory, then easily pack away with the handy foldable design.
