Why are fans so ugly?

[AB]

As the weather is quite hot and humid, I want a fan for the bedroom that can stand in the corner and circulate the air around. I used to have one on the bedside table but found having the air blowing at me all night gave me a sore throat.

Not wanting to spend £200+ on the nice looking Dyson, I want something for less than about £60 which doesn't look like it's come from an 80's office!

Any ideas?

I picked one of these up at the weekend from Homebase for £25.

Not sure if you'll class it as ugly though? Looks pretty good in the living room and does recirculate air around quite well

There was me thinking this was about football.

Opened thread expecting photos of gurning football fans.

Not sure if relieved or disappointed.

Expected football related too

I have one of these sat at the far end of the bedroom:

Doesn't look too retro but the big plus for me is that it is remote controlled so I can lie in bed and switch on/off, fan speed, oscillation etc without having to get up. God I'm lazy

I have to say, I was expecting pics of ugly fans too.

I was expecting to see lots of pictures of England fans.

Boo - accurately titled thread is misleading...

(I also expected pictures of football crowds)

sorry everyone. Disappointing thread title did lead to more of a response than I was expecting and at least gave me some ideas.

Needs to be taller than the first suggestion but this could work and not getting out of bed is obviously a bonus!!

Don't bother with the Dyson, they are hopeless.

It's a bit noisy but works well otherwise!

I believe you can get a taller version with a stand.
