I missed out on the deal last year for these fans and endured the heat in my hot & stuffy home.
This year, and subsequent years, I plan to be more prepared and the fans are back down to £27 delivered.
Ok, so they are not quite the £26.02 that they reached at the height of summer but I plan to invest that 98p for the sake of comfort...
Edit:
If you search the fans on CPC they appear full price, follow these links:

-1 the process of sweat evaporating when being blown by a fan will cool you down

I've bought two, I plan to put one downstairs blowing cool air in and one upstairs blowing hot air out!
The 18" one is 140 watts according to CPC so if you have it on for 4 hours per day for a month then you're looking at about £2.50. However when you actually consider the length of a british summer as being only a week at most then you're only looking at like 60p extra to keep cool during that period...

Exactly (and before someone pipes up, we mean micro sweat, not full-on, dripping 'exercise sweat'), that and something called 'wind chill' that apparently people have never heard of.
Fans aren't exactly snake oil...

Just buy a granite house.
Doesnt matter what the temperature is outside - its always baltic in my gaffe.
Not so much fun in the winter though.

Moved here from a place where AC is the norm in houses. thought I would be OK but it was the nights where it was too hot to sleep that were the worst.
How is the 20" version of this for circulation/noise?

The problem with fans is that they just circulate warm air

Ordered one, cheers OP. Doing weights will be a bit more comfortable in this weather now.

@umirza85 I have heard even on the lowest setting they can be quite noisy because of the volume of air they're moving
@Danze1984 That's a good point, excellent for turbo trainers and bike rollers too!

+1 pointless, there like a car without AC, just muggy air getting pushed back into you. I will stick with my ice pop down my back

Thanks for the clarification. That is something I don't mind. I was more worried that it would be the sound of the motor that is loud. I prefer something that will move a lot of air and understand that it will produce some noise. It's the cheap ones with the loud whining motors that I can't stand.
