It's official, it is summertime in the UK, the weather is heating up and so is the hay fever inducing pollen count. Your summer wardrobe is on point and you've more than likely already had to set up your fan, whilst your air purifier has been going strong since last autumn. However, if you're on the hunt for a new fan or an air purifier that will be your heatwave companion, Quiet Mark has you covered!
 

 

We've selected six Quiet Mark certified fans and air purifiers to help you keep cool and breathing easy all summer.  And, as they are Quiet Mark certified, you can be assured they are among the quietest currently available on the market. 

Quiet Fans

Choosing the right fan can be a lot trickier than expected! There's a lot to consider, including size, speed and noise levels. 

Here are 3 quiet fans, of varying sizes and costs, to suit all cooling requirements:

 
Based on the multi award-winning low energy and low noise MeacoFan 1056 the 1056P takes this much-loved air circulator and puts it on a pedestal. The air circulator is different to a normal fan because the air movement through horizontal and vertical planes means that all of the air in the room is moved giving you a comfortable cooling breeze rather than a harsh flow of air right at you.
 
The pedestal has a variable height adjustment for optimum air flow distribution and ECO mode controls the fan speed for you automatically adjusting the strength of the flow as the room temperature changes.

Globe is an affordable and uniquely modern desk fan that doesn't scrimp on power. With a range of 7 meters, 90-degree horizontal and 80-degree vertical oscillation and 3 different speed settings, Globe covers an impressively large space. With the option of control panel or remote-control use and featuring a 1-6 hr timer, this powerful and energy efficient fan is the perfect companion to your table, desk or counter.

 
The Philips 3-in-1 Air Purifier keeps homes healthy and comfy. The HEPA filter purifies the air of viruses, allergens and pollutants, and the 350° rotating fan distributes the clean air across the room - warmed, or as a refreshing breeze.

Quiet Purifiers

We spend around 90% of our time indoors, yet indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outside. Indoor air is made up of a concoction of particles including dust, pollen, mould, smoke, bacteria, viruses, VOCs and pet dander.

Here are 3 quiet air purifiers that will have you breathing easy:

Using electrons to trigger chemical reactions with air borne particles, the Flash Streamer breaks down allergens such as pollen and fungal allergens and removes bothersome odours providing a better, cleaner air.

  • Powerful air purification
  • Whisper quiet
  • Daikin’s Catch and Clean approach
  • High performance electrostatic HEPA filter
  • Air purification up to 46 m²
  • Filter lifetime of ten years

Coway Airmega 300S (AP-1515G) is a smart air purifier with powerful dual suction covering room size of up to 149m² with CADR of 575m³/h. 

It provides protection against possible harmful particles. The filtration system is made of a washable pre-filter and Max2 Green™ filter. Max2 Green™ filter is a combined filter of activated carbon and GreenHEPA filter. It removes up to 99.999% of nano sized particles down to 0.01 micron including allergens, bacteria, dust, pollen, virus, pet hair, bad smell, formaldehyde and VOCs. Also with a GreenHEPA™ anti-virus technology applied to its GreenHEPA filter, it provides a dual protection against bacteria, virus and pollen. Through external lab testing, it captures up to 99.9% and also inactivates the captured particles for dual protection. 

Airmega 300S comes with a smart mode that changes fan speed, turns eco mode and sleep mode on automatically based on surrounding environment. 

It is compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Coway IoCare app to remotely activate the air purifier and check filter life cycle and more. 

Thanks to Blueair’s HEPASilent™ technology, Blue removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns in size including pet dander and PM2.5 (also known as fine particulate matter) such as dust. The activated carbon sheet in the Blue filter is also effective for the removal of unpleasant household odours and VOCs.

Blue favours a simple one-touch button over adjustable knobs and unnecessary dials. Press once for Auto mode, twice for Night mode, three times for Everyday mode, and four times for Boost mode, which rapidly cleans the air. Thanks to the Auto mode feature, Blue's smart sensor will monitor real-time air quality conditions and auto-adjust to optimise performance. The levels of particulate matter (PM) are indicated using a colour scale on the air quality indicator which is in line with the World Health Organisation’s recommendations: Blue for Excellent, Orange for Moderate and Red for polluted.
