He says its because of people worried about electricity costs! Looked at our vertical tangential fan that keeps our bedroom comfy at night.....45w ...360w for a nightimes comfort = 10p!

First there's the initial outlay for the fan itself,£30+, a big chunk of a weekly budget,then the cost of running it with elec costs rising almost daily and,logically,the hot weather won't last forever(check the forecast).It doesn't surprise me people struggling to balance the books ever week are unable to buy a fan to use at most for a week or two a year.
I bought a pair of USB powered fans last year for less than £8 each. They're very effective even ignoring the <3W power consumption, it's made me question whether any fan for personal use consuming more than 15W is really necessary.
