10 of Our Top Best-Selling Fans in Australia 2025

Find the perfect fan for Australian summers

A good fan can make all the difference to your comfort when the Australian summer hits. Whether you're after something powerful for your bedroom, portable for moving between your living room and home office, or super slim to sit discreetly in the corner, there's a model to suit every need and budget.

But which one should you choose? Save yourself time researching multiple options by checking out what other Aussies have been buying this year.

Our list of best-sellers include pedestal fans with serious airflow, oscillating tower fans and bladeless options. There’s even an evaporative cooler for those in drier climates who want to actually reduce the temperature (rather than simply create a cooling effect, which is what fans do). Here's what's helping the country feel cool enough to function in 2025.

Find your ideal freestanding fan
Trending freestanding fans at a glance

Type of fan: This year's top picks span four categories: traditional pedestal fans (3 models), tower fans (4 models), bladeless fans (2 models), and one evaporative cooler. Pedestal fans remain popular for their adjustability and powerful airflow, while tower fans win for space-saving design.

Brand: The most popular brand on this list is DeLonghi with four models, followed by Dyson and Dimplex with two each, and Shark and Omega Altise with one. DeLonghi dominates the mid-range market with feature-rich tower and pedestal options, while Dyson holds the premium space with its distinctive bladeless designs.

Oscillation: Nine out of ten models feature oscillation, with only the DeLonghi DETF115 lacking this function. Oscillation coverage varies significantly, from the DeLonghi DETF122WH's impressive 360-degree horizontal movement to more standard 70-80 degree ranges. The Shark FlexBreeze offers 180-degree oscillation, while the DeLonghi DEAPF40WH also boasts 360-degree coverage with its unique horizontal settings.

Timer function: Seven models include timer settings, providing energy-efficient operation and convenience for overnight use. The timers range from the Dimplex DCEVP40M's simple two-hour option to more flexible settings on models like the DeLonghi fans (1, 2, 4, or 8 hours). The Shark FlexBreeze, Omega Altise, and Dimplex DCTF93NL don't include timers, though the Shark's cordless design offers up to 24 hours of runtime on the lowest setting.

Speed settings: All ten models offer three speed settings as standard, allowing you to adjust airflow from a gentle breeze to maximum cooling power. The actual fan speed and airflow strength of the three settings vary between fans, though, according to motor power and design.

Remote control: Eight models have the convenience of remote control - particularly handy if you have a fan in a bedroom and don’t want to get out of bed to adjust it or switch it off. Only the budget-friendly Omega Altise AP46WA and the Dimplex evaporative cooler rely on manual controls. The Dyson models feature curved, magnetised remotes that store neatly on the unit, while the DeLonghi and other brands include infrared remotes with dedicated storage spots.

Warranty: Most models come with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty (protection against manufacturing defects), but the DeLonghi models have just a 1-year warranty.

Other features: Several standout features elevate these models beyond basic cooling. The Shark FlexBreeze transforms from pedestal to tabletop and has cordless operation with UV and rain resistance for outdoor use. DeLonghi models include ionisers and dust filters for air purification. The Dyson fans feature Air Multiplier technology for smooth, bladeless airflow, while the AM09 doubles as a heater. The Dimplex tower includes a night light function, and the evaporative cooler adds moisture to dry air. Many models offer multiple wind modes (Natural, Sleep, Eco) for customised comfort.

Price: This list spans three price brackets: budget options under $150 ($$$), mid-range models from $199-$259 ($$$), and higher-priced choices from $300-$499 ($$$). There are more expensive fans available, but these price brackets are in relation to the models on this list.

NOTE: The prices shown are according to Recommended Retail Price (RRP), but Appliances Online sells fans at below RRP when possible, so just click the link for each model to see Appliances Online's price.

The height adjustable, cordless option Shark FlexBreeze Pedestal Black Fan
#1. Shark FlexBreeze Pedestal Fan

The Shark FlexBreeze stands out as a versatile pedestal fan that transforms your cooling experience with genuine flexibility. This innovative model converts from pedestal to tabletop in seconds, making it perfect for indoor relaxation, office work or outdoor entertaining. With both corded and cordless functionality, you can get up to 24 hours runtime on the lowest setting when it isn’t plugged in. This very useful cordless feature, coupled with the durable, UV and rain-resistant construction, means you can take it to barbecues or leave it on the deck, no worries. Three variable speeds, 180° oscillation and 55° tilt customise airflow, while BreezeBoost mode delivers powerful air circulation across a 20-metre range - exceptional for any floor fan.

#3. DeLonghi 360-Degree Dual Oscillating Tower Fan

Choose from three fan speeds and three wind modes (Natural, Eco, and Sleep) to create your ideal environment. The touch control LED display includes a light dimming function for bedroom use, while the remote control adds convenience. A top-mounted carry handle makes it easy to move from place to place, and its white design suits contemporary Australian homes.

Dyson's Hot+Cool Jet Focus Fan Heater is a good 2-in-1 cooling and heating option
#4. Dyson Hot+Cool Jet Focus Fan Heater

The Dyson AM09 Hot+Cool delivers year-round climate control with innovative bladeless design and Air Multiplier technology. Unlike conventional fans, it provides both heating and cooling functions, making it practical for Australian winters and summers alike - worth considering if you’re weighing up whether you can justify spending a little extra. Choose Jet Focus mode for concentrated airflow or Diffused mode to evenly distribute treated air throughout the entire room. The child-safe ‘bladeless’ design, with fast-spinning blades and heating elements out of sight and reach, makes it a great choice for families. With oscillation up to 70 degrees, tilt adjustment, and a curved magnetised remote control, operation is effortless. The sleep timer and automatic tip-over shut-off provide peace of mind, while quiet operation ensures comfortable nights.

Three speed settings deliver customisable airflow, and the remote control adds convenience.

#6. DeLonghi Tower Fan

Alongside its fan functionality, the DeLonghi DETF115 tower fan has air purification capabilities. With its dust proof filter capturing and sterilising dust particles to delivering cleaner, fresher air, it’s a good pick if anyone in your home has allergies . The Natural Mode (or Rhythm Wind Mode) mimics outdoor breezes for a gentle, comfortable airflow. Standing tall at 1168mm, it includes a 7-hour timer with 1-hour increments for precise control. The remote control stores conveniently in a dedicated holder, and the sleek white finish suits any room.

The DeLonghi Tower Fan has additional air purification functionality

What customers say:

"Really like the remote control. Air flow is strong and well directed. Good features, great value for money." - Ali C, January 2024

DeLonghi's 40cm Pedestal Fan has multiple oscillation settings
#7. DeLonghi 40cm Pedestal Fan

The DeLonghi DEAPF40WH pedestal fan delivers exceptional versatility with four horizontal oscillation settings (60°, 90°, 180°, 360°) plus 90-degree manual vertical oscillation. Choose from three fan speeds and three wind modes (normal, nature, and sleep) for customised comfort. The LED display and infrared remote control simplify operation, while four timer settings (1, 2, 4, 8 hours) promote energy savings. At 1400mm tall, it’s the tallest fan on this list, which, in combination with its comprehensive tilt options, gives it outstanding flexibility for whole room cooling.

See price and full details of DeLonghi 40cm Pedestal Fan DEAPF40WH

What customers say:

"I am very happy with this fan. It is quiet and it is good being able to set a timer at night. I would recommend this fan." - Gemma, February 2025

DeLonghi's Oscillating Tower Fan has a built-in ioniser to improve air quality
#8. DeLonghi Oscillating Tower Fan

The DeLonghi DETF111BK shares many features with its stablemates on this list, including three fan speeds, LED display, automatic-off timer settings (1, 2, 4, 8 hours) and infrared remote control, but distinguishes itself with a built-in ioniser for enhanced air quality. The ioniser helps purify air by reducing certain allergens and dust particles - similar to the DETF115's dust filter, but with different technology. It provides 80-degree horizontal oscillation for effective airflow distribution, while two wind modes (natural and sleep) adjust automatically for comfort. The automatic dimming function turns off the LED display after one minute, making it particularly good for use in bedrooms.

What customers say:

"Great fan, just loud for the bedroom , which is where I bought for." - Safina, October 2024

The Dyson Cool Tower Fan is bladeless and 75% quieter than earlier models
#9. Dyson Cool Tower Fan

This tower fan showcases Dyson's combination of ‘bladeless fan’ technology and Air Multiplier innovation that multiplies airflow by up to 15 times for powerful, consistent cooling. Like its stablemate the AM09 (#4), it features a completely enclosed design with no exposed spinning components, making it exceptionally safe for homes with children and pets. Unlike the AM09, however, the AM07 focuses purely on cooling rather than dual heating/cooling. The streamlined design incorporates a Helmholtz cavity that reduces noise by 75% compared to earlier models, delivering whisper-quiet performance. With 70-degree oscillation, 10 precise airflow settings, and a curved magnetised remote, it combines cutting-edge function with contemporary styling.

See price and full details of Dyson AM07 Cool Tower Fan White/Silver 301216-01

What customers say:

"While expensive for a fan, it's a very stylish object and the breeze it produces is so much more comfortable than the chopping air that normal fans produce. No blades make it very easy to clean and it's slim design means it's unobtrusive and fits neatly into any space. it would be handy though if the power cord was a bit longer." - Lizzy D, January 2021

The Dimplex 40L Evaporative Cooler uses water to reduce the temperature
#10. Dimplex 40L Evaporative Cooler

OK, so this one’s an outlier because it’s not technically a fan - but many people use it in place of a fan to achieve a similar effect. Whereas the other models on this list don’t lower the air temperature, but do create a cooling efect through air movement, this one actually cools the air. Rather than simply circulating air, this evaporative cooler uses water evaporation to lower the temperature - making it particularly effective in dry inland areas of Australia where it adds beneficial moisture to the air while cooling it.

The generous 40-litre tank fills conveniently from the side without removal, providing extended operation between refills. Three speed settings, a two-hour timer, and auto-swing function deliver customisable comfort, while the built-in ioniser and dust filters improve air quality.

What customers say:

"Helped kill the Tamworth summer heat after the house roof cooler failed. Works very well for large living/dining room area." - Grumps, January 2025
