What are the best tower fans to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Tower Fans in the UK is the Levoit 20dB Silent Tower Fan, 5.5W-26W DC Motor.
The Levoit 20dB Silent Tower Fan, 5.5W-26W DC Motor suits bedrooms and rooms up to 50m², as its listing describes, with a stated 20dB noise level, 12 speeds, 90° oscillation and a 2 years manufacturer warranty on the listing.
The Levoit 20dB Silent Tower Fan is our top pick because its listing states a 20dB noise level, a brushless DC motor drawing 5.5W–26W, 90° oscillation, 12 speeds and a 2 years manufacturer warranty. For app and voice control, the DREO Smart model names support for Alexa, Google Home and Siri and a 12H timer through the DREO app; for a 42 Inch fan, the Levoit 25dB model adds an adjustable 60° up-down wind and a 12H timer.
This guide compares six upright tower fans from Levoit, DREO, Belaco and Igenix on what each listing states: size, airflow, speeds and modes, oscillation, timer, power draw, noise and warranty. Stated sizes run from 30 Inch on the Igenix DF0030 to 42 Inch on the Levoit 25dB model.

Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
Airflow is stated in different units: m/s on the Levoit 20dB, Levoit 42 Inch and DREO Smart, ft/s on the DREO 20dB and DREO Smart, and CFM on the Belaco; the Igenix listing gives no airflow figure. The Levoit 20dB is the one listing here that states a warranty term (2 years manufacturer). The Belaco listing gives two timer lengths: 7.5 Hour in its title and 120-minute in its feature list.
Our Take
As a default, pick the Levoit 20dB Silent Tower Fan: 20dB, 5.5W–26W, 90° oscillation, 12 speeds and a 2 years manufacturer warranty, all on the listing. For app or voice control, the DREO Smart Tower Fan names Alexa, Google Home and Siri support and a 12H timer in the app. For a 42 Inch fan that also angles its airflow, the Levoit 42 Inch lists an adjustable 60° up-down wind and a 12H timer.
