We haven't tested the dupes below - they are just suggestions we've made based on our own research.
B&Q is selling a 32inch Pro Breeze bladeless tower fan which purifies the air and comes with nine speed settings for just £109.99.
That makes it around £338 cheaper than the Dyson cool purifying fan we've listed above.
The Pro Breeze model is slightly smaller, coming in 0.8metres tall, but still has plenty of five star reviews on the Argos website.
One customer said the "Dyson looking fan" was super quiet and comes with good power and air purifier settings.
Tesco is also selling a Russell Hobbs desk fan that's just £24.99 and £224 cheaper than the Dyson desktop model in John Lewis listed above.
The Russell Hobbs fan is smaller than the Dyson one, at 0.3metres tall, but does come with a one-year guarantee.
Lastly, Screwfix is selling a Blyss three-in-one bladeless fan which heats, cools and purifies the air, for £137.
That's £153 cheaper than the Dyson focus fan hot and cold heater we spotted in Argos for £290.
How to save money on summer essentials
SUNNIER days and warmer weather will leave many of us wanting to kit out gardens and outdoor areas.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a great deal on summer essentials…
It pays to know how to bag big savings on the likes of hot tubs paddling pools, egg chairs and outside bars.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire ranges – often this ties into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends.
Sign up to the mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items such as beach gear and paddling pools.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
Always check if you can get cashback before paying. It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.

Households in Scotland face RTS meter switch uncertainty
The Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS), which controls these meters, is being gradually deactivated after a last-minute intervention by the UK Government. Advice Direct Scotland said the move, however, has left Scottish households uncertain about their energy use, as it is unclear who will be affected first. The charity criticised the lack of clarity from energy regulator Ofgem, saying it leaves consumers in the dark. Read more: Subscribers can win Fortnum's hamper, Wimbledon prizes and John Lewis voucher Lisbon Lion John Clark's funeral details revealed as fans invited to pay respects The RTS meters, introduced in the 1980s, use outdated longwave radio signals to switch between peak and off-peak rates. Advice Direct Scotland said without replacements, customers risk losing control of their heating or hot water, or being moved onto a more expensive single-rate tariff. The first phase of the RTS switch-off is intended to impact only a "very small number of homes and businesses in carefully targeted local areas". Affected customers should be informed in advance by their suppliers, with local teams ready to swiftly respond to any heating or hot water issues. Advice Direct Scotland has been advocating for a dedicated remediation fund, supported by the energy industry, to be established for customers facing additional costs or disruption. It highlighted one case where a 69-year-old from Wishaw had to spend £700 fixing her kitchen after being forced to install a smart meter. Andrew Bartlett, chief executive of Advice Direct Scotland, said: "Given that there are still around 100,000 RTS meters in Scotland, a mass switch-off of the signal today would have been nothing short of a disaster. "While it is welcome that ministers stepped in and ensured a phased approach instead, customers are still being left in the dark about who will be affected first. "The whole process has been sorely lacking in transparency, and there is still a lot of unnecessary confusion and uncertainty about how this gradual switch-off is going to work. "As well as more clarity, we would like to see a commitment to an industry-backed remediation fund, ensuring that nobody is left out of pocket for replacing their meter. "The most important thing to remember is that free help and advice is available. "Anyone who is worried should visit or call 0808 196 8660 for assistance."

John Lewis rejected my TV price promise claim - as it disagreed with my definition of 'seven days'
I purchased a TV from John Lewis online on 18 March, paying £2,999. Noting the John Lewis price promise at the time of purchase, I made a note to check the price seven days later - the time limit for making a claim. I found the same TV being sold by Fenwick for £2,699. I submitted the price promise claim, but it was rejected. John Lewis said the request was made outside of the seven day time frame. The purchase was made at 10:31pm on Tuesday 18 March. The price promise claim was made at 3:48pm on Tuesday 25 March. I assumed John Lewis would allow a full seven periods of 24 hours. But is it counting Tuesday as one full day, even though I purchased it at night? The terms and conditions of the price promise don't seem to state the definition of seven days anywhere I can see, it just says 'within the last seven days'. R.W Helen Kirrane of This is Money replies: I must admit this is a really strange situation. John Lewis's price promise means it will refund you the difference if you find the same product at a cheaper price. It often describes this guarantee with the phrase 'Never knowingly undersold'. The requirements for this to be honoured are that you need to submit a request within seven days of purchase, and the cheaper version has to be from an approved list of 25 competitor retailers which you can find here. Fenwick is one of the retailers John Lewis says it will honour a price promise for, so you were fine on that front. Where the issue arose was in the timing of the price promise request application. I think most people would reasonably assume this should have been made within seven full days - as in, seven periods of 24 hours. By that logic, you had up to 10:29pm on Tuesday 25 March to submit the claim. But when I looked at the fine print of the price promise, it is not made clear how John Lewis defines 'within seven days'. When you asked John Lewis why your price promise request had been rejected, you were told that, despite the purchase being made at night, John Lewis's position was that Tuesday 18 March counts as 'one day', so any price promise claim needed to have been made by the end of Monday 24 March. John Lewis therefore does seem to be counting Tuesday 18 March as a full day, even though you bought the TV with only one and a half hours of that day remaining. This seems unfair, as there is no mention of this unorthodox definition of seven days in the terms and conditions. I think they should really be made clearer. I asked if John Lewis would look into your case and whether it would reconsider if your purchase should have been eligible for the price promise. I'm pleased to say it has now refunded you the £300 difference between the TV you purchased, and one being sold at Fenwicks. You told me it has also offered you a gift card as a gesture of goodwill. A John Lewis spokesman said: 'Our price promise ensures that customers are getting the best prices when shopping their favourite brands with us in-store or online. 'We recognise this customer's frustration and have refunded the price difference.'
