Supervising editor ​​Daniela Gorny despises being hot. As soon as heat threatens, she panic-loads the freezer with popsicles and pulls out her fan from the closet. The issue: Her old fan was an eyesore. But her new one, a vintage-looking version of Wirecutter’s top pick, is simply lovely. Which is pretty important when you’re looking at it every day.

This handsome metal fan is more than just a pretty face. It also works extremely well. The first time Daniela used it, she felt hints of cool air in hard-to-reach spots all around the house. “I couldn’t believe how that small fan could make my home’s AC feel that much more powerful.”

This expert-approved fan is on sale right now exclusively for Wirecutter readers—although the deal is going fast. Apologies if you miss it. And don’t worry, we’ve rounded up plenty more (on-sale!) ways to stay cool below.
