The best desk fans to keep you cool in your home office

If you're pushed for space but still need the cooling breeze of a fan then a folding fan like this one from Beldray is perfect. The fan can be used as a normal desk fan or extended to be a tower fan thanks to a telescopic construction. It's battery-powered and recharged via USB too which makes it a great portable option. There are four fan settings and it even features a light. Extremely easy to use, simply recharge your fan by connecting it to either a mains plug or your device through the USB charging port. Tried and tested: "This fan has been life-changing. The battery life allows me to carry it about with me wherever it's needed and the fact that it's no bigger than a victoria sponge when folded up means I can even take it away with me. Small niggles include the lack of oscillation and the touch buttons are a little hit-and-miss but I still adore this fan."

I was impressed by the cooling abilities of this fan and the LED lights are a nice touch. The only issue is that moving the cube when it's full of water resulted in some spillage."
