With temperatures rising, now's the time to snap up a great fan deal on the perfect cooling solution for your home. Whether it's a quiet bedroom fan, a portable fan, or a powerful tower, I've looked through hundreds of listings for the very best fan savings.

Memorial Day is right around the corner on May 26, and with all the major brands and retailers launching massive sales, you can be certain that there'll be discounted fans to be had. However, some Early Memorial Day sales have already begun, making this the perfect time to snap up big savings before the eye-watering incoming tariff hikes hit.

As Homes & Gardens' home tech editor, I'm tuned in to what makes a fan work well. I know how the best fans and the best air purifiers can work together to create cooler and cleaner air quality indoors.

The best fan deals in the Memorial Day sales

Biggest savings

Dreo 36" Tower Fan | was $279.99, now $59.99 at Walmart (save $220)

Dreo has been in the fan market for a while, so you can trust that their tower fans can be relied on at home.

This 36-inch tower fan has four speeds and four modes, a 90-degree oscillation, and can provide an airflow speed of 24 feet per second.

I use the Dreo MC710S tower fan and air purifier in my living room, so I can personally vouch for Dreo's quality.

It's on offer at Walmart with $220 off.

Our best fan, ever

Shark FlexBreeze | was $199.99, now $159.98 at QVC (save $40)

It may only be a $40 discount, but this is the single best fan we've ever tested at Homes & Gardens. It can be used indoors and outdoors, tabletop or pedestal, and you can even unplug to use it as a portable fan. Plus, on those incredibly warm days, you can hook it up to a faucet and gently mist an outdoor space. It's quiet, powerful, and takes up barely any space.

Purify your space

Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 TP10 | was $429.99, now $299.99 at Dyson (save $130)

Similar tech to the flagship Dyson Big+Quiet can be found in Dyson's range of purifier tower fans, and the Cool Gen1 TP10 is one of the more affordable options out of the selection. It's able to both cool and purify a room, with adjustable oscillation up to 350 degrees, for when you need to either cover the whole room, or focus on where you're sat or sleeping.

The Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 TP10 is reduced by a hefty $130 discount.

Hot and cold, all-year-round

Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool | was $749.99, now $549.99 at Dyson (save $200)

To get the full HVAC effect, the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool does the same as other Dyson air treatment products (that is, cool and purify your indoor space) but with the added bonus of a heating function.

You'll be able to get year-round use out of this. You can still rely on the purifier when the weather gets colder, as other Dyson models aren't able to separate the purification from the fan, making it obsolete in winter.

It's currently discounted by $200 direct from Dyson.

Fan deal tips and tricks

Fans can range in price anywhere from $30 to $1,000. Now, those at the more premium end of this range have suites of features that explain such high price points, like the Dyson Big+Quiet which can purify huge space and project cool, purified air up to 32 feet away, while being one of the quietest fans on the market.

But you don't have to be spending that much on a simple cooling solution. Cheap pedestal and tower fans can still do a great job at cooling you down, even if they don't have strong air flows, speed settings or low noise levels. But you can always combine them with unusual methods for staying cool at home.

I've been testing products since 2021, and shopping for the best deal involves finding the right balance between the features you need and the money you're willing to spend.

Do your research on fan speeds, sleep timers, noise levels, air flows, and smart features, if you need them. Then, shop around for fans that exclusively have the things you need, and you'll start to find a few favorites, whether you're keeping your bed cool in summer or cooling down your kitchen.

Once you know what you're looking for, use price comparison sites like CamelCamelCamel, Honey, and Google Shopping to see how prices have fluctuated throughout the year.

You'll be able to know whether a deal is actually a good deal, rather than a reduction on a hiked-up price, and you can compare prices across multiple sites to see where it's cheapest. You'll also know whether it's the lowest price it's ever been, so you know it's the best fan deal you could've found.

When is the best time to shop for a fan deal?

For the most part, finding the right time for a fan deal is similar to shopping for any appliance, like browsing the best Dyson deals or the best air fryer deals, except there's an element of seasonality with fans.

Brands will often hike prices when summer comes around as there's a higher demand, so as weird it sounds, you'll most likely be better off shopping for fan deals during the winter.

That said, there are plenty of sale seasons throughout the year, even in spring and summer, where you can find a discounted fan to beat the heat.

Memorial Day fan deals

Every year, when Memorial Day comes around, brands and major retailers launch massive discounts on appliances, including fans. Memorial Day falls on May 26 this year, and as that's not too far away, we're already seeing discounts on great fans. These appliances are one of the fastest ways to cool a house and are worth investing in.

Amazon Prime Day fan deals

Prime Day is a perfect time to grab discounts on any products, especially fans. And as there are now two Prime Days a year, one in October and one in July, you can be sure that Amazon will be slashing prices on affordable cooling products even during the summer.

When shopping during Prime Day, make sure to check elsewhere. Other retailers like Walmart and Target have launched competing sales during the past few Prime Days.

Labor Day fan deals

Around the Labor Day weekend in September, we see discounts from all the major retailers every year. As these sales arrive towards the end of summer (Labor Day will be on September 1 this year), retailers will be clearing their seasonal stock, so you can expect some of the biggest discounts of the year around this time, even if it feels odd shopping for a fan as summer ends.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday fan deals

Of course, Black Friday and Cyber Monday is an amazing chance to see huge discounts on some of the best fans on the market, to prepare yourself when it comes to keeping your house cool during a heatwave when summer rolls back around.

It's also where you'll see the most choice, as more brands and retailers engage with Black Friday than any other sale event. This year, Black Friday will fall on November 28 with Cyber Monday on November 31.
