Shark's top-rated fan is one of the best I've used - and I've found it in stock at Amazon after it sold out EVERYWHERE
With fans being one of the easiest - and cheapest - ways to keep cool in the oppressive UK heat, it's no wonder top-rated models are selling out fast. Shark's newest fan, the TurboBlade, has already received positive reviews online with it being hailed a great Dyson tower fan alternative. Its super high-speed cooling and fully adjustable head can push air in two directions at once and spin up to 180 degrees. Unfortunately, it's popularity means this stylish fan has already sold out almost everywhere, despite only having launched in early 2025. However, we've found a handful Shark TurboBlade still in stock at Amazon in the colour Dove. Shark TurboBlade fan Despite the name, the TurboBlade is powerful, bladeless fan with ten settings, a wide 180 degree oscillation and customisable tilt. £250 Shop I've been testing the TurboBlade fan about a week now and it's been a total game-changer for hot summer evenings. The bladeless head tilts almost anyway you want. It can be placed horizontally or vertically and each side can also be controlled individually, meaning you get airflow in practically any direction - ideal if there's more than one person in a room. My favourite way to use it? At the end of my bed. It's ultra-long fan head makes it perfect for cooling across the length of the mattress as you sleep. The Shark TurboBlade has ten speed settings in total, from a soft gentle bedtime breeze to a ultra-powerful air blast for cooling you down quickly. There are also four different cooling modes, including one that mimics a natural sea breeze. All of this and more is controlled with the magnetic remote, which can be stored on top of the fan when not in use. Due to the popularity of the TurboBlade - and the fact its sold out everywhere else - we'd suggest snapping up this one from Amazon as soon as you can, as it is GUARENTEED to sell out.

This Shark TurboBlade Fan racked up millions of views on Instagram. I tested it to see if it actually lives up to the hype
This week marks the start of summer, which means I'm officially serious about shopping for products that'll help me beat the heat — and apparently, so is my For You Page. That's how I first stumbled upon the Shark TurboBlade Tower Fan, which has since racked up over 75 million views on Instagram and TikTok. But is it as good as the internet thinks? I used it while I slept to find out. Shark TurboBlade Tower Fan The ultra-sleek TurboBlade Bladeless Tower Fan isn't just a warm weather essential; it's also a statement piece for any room in your home. It comes in two neutral colors, white and charcoal gray, and features a unique T-bar design that delivers highly customizable airflow, 10 speed settings and various modes, from Natural Breeze to Sleep. Trust me, you don't want to sleep on this fan. For as long as I've lived with my husband, we've always had the same bedtime battle: He runs hot, and I run cold. So, when I found out that the Shark TurboBlade Fan (which first hit the market back in March) could pivot and twist to be vertical, horizontal or even diagonal, it looked like the answer to our temperature feuds. And based on its virality, I'm guessing we weren't the only ones who thought so. It should come as no surprise that plenty of people consider themselves hot sleepers, which means they're always searching for products to keep them cool at night. It makes sense that an innovative fan with customizable airflow, like the Shark TurboBlade, would rack up millions of views on social media. First, let's address the obvious: Yes, it really does resemble a hammerhead shark. But it's exactly that innovative, rotating T-bar design that truly sets this cooling fan apart. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that you can customize and circulate airflow up to 80 feet in any direction you want. And regardless of whether you're using the vertical Tower or horizontal Air Blanket mode, the bar is bladeless, so you can sleep soundly knowing it's safe for your little ones and fur babies. After testing the fan in rooms of various sizes —my small bedroom, my spacious living room and even my windowless kitchen — I found that it was comparable to my built-in AC unit, which always cools my stuffy apartment pretty quickly. I was especially impressed with the magnetic remote, which allows you to control the 10 speeds, time and other specialty modes (like Sleep, Breeze Boost and Natural Breeze). Sleep preferences are obviously personal, but if you're like me and need a little noise to doze off, I've found that Sleep mode is the most soothing. During the day, I almost always gravitate toward Natural Breeze since it genuinely feels like having the windows open on a breezy, summer day. To be honest, I was pretty surprised to find out this viral Shark fan doesn't offer in-app control — especially since that was one of my favorite features of our previous Dyson Tower Fan — and the TurboBlade isn't exactly cheap at $300. But given the seemingly endless customization options, it has earned a permanent spot in our bedroom regardless, and thankfully, it has solved the temperature battles with my husband. He can finally rotate a fan so it's only angled toward him and pivot it away from me at night, and during the day, our home can reap the benefits from that cool breeze of circulating air. While the TurboBlade is definitely worth the hype, I'm aware that dropping $300 on a new home appliance is not realistic for everyone (especially in this economy!). So, I'd also highly recommend checking out Shark's other new fan, the FlexBreeze, which is half the price and has also earned fame on Instagram. Are bladeless fans better than traditional fans? Are bladeless fans better than traditional fans? Whether one type of cooling fan is 'better' than another truly depends on your personal preferences, such as power, noise level, safety and price. Typically, traditional fans are more powerful, require minimal setup and are significantly less expensive, while bladeless fans are safer, more stylish, quieter and easier to clean. How tall is the Shark TurboBlade? How tall is the Shark TurboBlade? The sleek yet substantial fan stands 44.84 inches tall and measures 31.57 inches wide when assembled in its standard, upright T-shape position.

I tested the Shark TurboBlade Cooling Fan — and this dual design is worth every penny
Some couples have mixed sleeping preferences, with one shivering all through the night while the other casts off the covers because they're overheating. My partner and I are definitely not one of those couples. We're both hot sleepers who need a cooling fan firmly planted at the end of the bed all through the summer months. But the main problem with this approach? Our fan oscilates between us, only cooling one of us directly at a time. Enter Shark's new TurboBlade fan. The concept behind this new gadget is both genius and obvious. By adding fully adjustable pivoting side arms, Shark allows you to shoot two jets of cool air directly out of your FlexBlade simultaneously, cooling you and your companion at the same time. I've spent a warm week testing the Shark TurboBlade at home, and here are my thoughts. Price $299 / £249 Size 11.77 in L x 31.57 in W x 44.84 in H Colors Charcoal, White Cord length 6ft Weight 14.99 lbs Sound 64dB Power 1.6 amps Settings 10 speeds and noise levels, including Natural Breeze Setting up the Shark TurboBlade could not have been easier. There are three parts that need to be slotted together, labelled A, B, and C, and total assembly time took me about one minute total. I really like that you can take this fan apart for storage, too. As someone who only uses a cooling fan for, at most, half of the year, it's nice to know that I'm not sacrificing too much storage space for the other 6 months. The base of the Shark TurboBlade is quite chunky, but the fan isn't too heavy to be moved easily between rooms, which is what I did when testing. One of the best features of the Shark TurboBlade is that its two arms can be adjusted independently to blow air in different directions. This is easy to do, but you do need to do it manually. There's no option to change the height or direction of airflow from an app or the remote control. One of the best features of the Shark TurboBlade is that its two arms can be adjusted independently to blow air in different directions. If you're trying to get the perfect setup, this could mean a bit of up-and-down adjusting while you try and get the airflow to hit just right. But I'm the sort of person who hates unnecessary apps or products that don't offer on-board controls, so I don't mind that. Perhaps a more significant gripe is that you need to press the top right button, which looks like a star, to toggle between Shark's three bespoke settings: Sleep, Breeze and Boost. But there's nothing onboard to let you know which one you're using. It's easy to know when Boost is running because the noise level is noticeably higher, but I've got Sleep and Breeze mixed up a couple of times in the last week. The arms don't have to be entirely upright or sideways. Shark told me that some people adjust them so they follow the sloping lines of an Eames chair, so whatever your user case might be, the Shark TurboBlade probably has you covered. As for oscillating, this fan offers 180° rotation and you can choose how wide-reaching you want your airflow to be using a button on the remote control. If you want the fan to sit higher or lower though, you'll need to lift it or lower it manually. The Shark TurboBlade has also got a Dust Defense feature, which (while not a substitute for one of the best air purifiers) captures particles in the air to prevent the fan from blasting dust and allergens around your home. The filter is easy to wipe clean, so you shouldn't need to replace it over time. This bladeless fan isn't noiseless, but it creates a low, consistent level of noise that's not disruptive to sleep or even watching TV. You might have to turn the volume up, but the TurboBlade won't prove to be a distraction. I measured the noise produced at a number of levels using the SoundMeter app on my phone. They read: Setting Noise Level (dB) Sleep mode 50 Breeze mode 54 Boost mode 62 Level 1 (min) 46 Level 5 (mid) 56 Level 10 (max) 61 But when measuring noise level, I also think the picture is incomplete without a comment on the noise quality, which is ultimately can make fans annoying, distracting, or impossible to sleep through. At top speed (level 10), you'd have to raise your voice if you were having a conversation near the fan. It's the same with Boost mode. The level is similar to my Shark hair dryer. I've been opting for Breeze mode throughout the day, which is designed to replicate a more natural-feeling breeze. It's very fresh and fades into background noise with ease. I can still listen to a podcast on my phone if I turn it up while using it, but you could definitely hear it from the next room. The noise level is a mid-pitched whirring that's definitely noticeable, but ultimately so powerful that you will rarely, if ever, need it in close proximity. When using top speed or Boost mode, I could feel the fan's cooling air at around 15ft away. And I couldn't test any further, because my living room isn't big enough! In the middle, there's level 5, which is about right as a background noise level at 56dB. I'd compare it to the sound made by most blade-style fans, which I'm used to sleeping through. I've been opting for Breeze mode throughout the day, which is designed to replicate a more natural-feeling breeze. It's very fresh and fades into background noise with ease, but hits 54dB when you're up close. At its quietest, you could definitely forget this fan is running, so it's lucky that it comes with a timer setting. I'd formerly been using my Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Formaldehyde as a fan-slash-air purifier during the night, and the Shark TurboBlade can hit a similar level of discrete whirring at 46-50dB. And as I mentioned earlier, it's lovely to not have an oscillating fan on a hot night, where I anticipate each blast of air as the fan twists to cool both me and my partner. With the dual arms, cooling is consistent, and therefore feels a lot more effective when running at a lower level. It's worth adding that the level of cooling you get with Sleep mode really is adequate for hot nights. Although I've yet to test it during one of London's stifling heatwaves., where temperatures can hit 104°F, I'm confident it would do the job. Although I'm not hoping for any extreme weather, I'll keep this review updated if we do get any! I've been sleeping a lot cooler since I started testing the Shark TurboBlade, and I'm not quite so nervous about any upcoming heatwaves knowing I've got a quiet, powerful, and wide-reaching fan that will keep both me and my partner from overheating. I've also made good use of the Shark TurboBlade in my living room. It's a big space, and the fan did an excellent job of creating a comfortable breeze without too much disruption when I've had friends over on hot days. At $299 / £249, this isn't the sort of purchase you should make without some evaluation. After all, there are many cheaper options on the market, and cooling fans do ultimately have just one job. But if you're wondering how well the TurboBlade gets the job done, the answer is: Very.

Tweak This Fan's Airflow Any Which Way by Twisting Its Arms
Even though I've been testing fans at WIRED for a year, it's not often a fan stops me in my tracks. Shark's new TurboBlade fan—released in March 2025—surprised me the minute I saw it fully assembled. Are we sure this is a fan? Is it not a windmill? A speaker? Some kind of high-tech ionizer device? Not since the Dyson series of fans has a manufacturer gone this bold with its design. And in spite of its name, the TurboBlade is actually bladeless. In other words, air gets sucked in through a cleanable screen dust trap on the fan's base and is pushed out through the top, without visible spinning parts or motors. It makes for a clean, seamless aesthetic (in black or white, both with gold-toned accents), minus the worry about dust, grime, or little wayward hands or pet tails. Get in Formation The TurboBlade's setup is quick—the handful of disassembled parts are all labeled, and it didn't take me more than about five minutes to fit them together. The fan's main form looks like a T . There's a base that looks like a small overturned bucket, out of which sprouts a telescoping plastic pole that can turn 360 degrees, topped with a 31.5-inch bar with a tapered front. A 13-inch segment on each side is where the vents are; each segment is articulated so it can be rotated straight up, straight down, or anywhere in between. This design means the airflow is technically more concentrated, but with the TurboBlade it's not as noticeable as it is with fans of a similar narrow-gauge outflow design, like Vornado's Strata. Photograph: Kat Merck The TurboBlade's top bar can also be turned to make the fan into an I shape, allowing for the airflow to go higher and/or lower. As a T the TurboBlade's height ranges from 30 to 38 inches, and as an I it's about 45 to 53 inches. The whole thing can also oscillate up to 180 degrees (with settings at 45, 90, and 180). Between the varying heights, 10 speeds, oscillation degrees, angles, and rotations, this is about the most customization for airflow you can get. There's no app associated with the fan, and it's not smart, but there is a remote (spares are $15) that can stick magnetically to the top of the fan. The remote is surprisingly useful—unlike other fans that just have on/off and speed increase/decrease, this one also allows for changing the mode (Sleep, BreezeBoost, and Natural Breeze; see below), oscillating, and adjusting the angle. Photograph: Kat Merck A Different Plane So the TurboBlade is unique, certainly, but it is billed as a tower fan. This is a tough row to hoe in the current tower fan space with models like Dreo's MC710S, which is also tall and doubles as an air purifier, or Vornado's new Ara, which is both more powerful and looks like it belongs in a high-end apartment. The TurboBlade's vibe, on the other hand, is more freak than chic. On max speed the TurboBlade registered a respectable 1,043 feet per minute on my anemometer, on par with most classically shaped tower fans. However, I felt like the farther away I was from the fan, the more precisely I had to angle the vents in order to feel the breeze, especially when the fan was on low speed. A whole-room air circulator it is not. The other problem is the noise. This is not to say the TurboBlade is loud; my decibel meter registered 53 dB on even the highest speed setting, which is even on the quiet end for a fan of this size and strength. But even on the lowest speed, the TurboBlade's volume was not much less—around 40 dB—likely due to the motor's pronounced, jet-engine-like whine. This is especially evident while using the Natural Breeze specialty setting, which is meant to emulate being outdoors with an occasional rising and falling 'wind.' I attempted to test this one afternoon while reading on my couch, but the repeated starting up and stopping of the jet engine sound was so distracting I had to turn it off almost immediately. I fly at least four times a year, and closing my eyes, I would fully believe I'm taxiing on a Boeing 747. Sleep Tight In addition to Natural, other TurboBlade specialty modes include BreezeBoost, which temporarily turns the fan up to max speed for a bit before bringing it back down (for an immediate cooling sensation—it's important to remember a fan can't actually lower the temperature of a room), and Sleep, which silences beeps, dims lights, and switches to a speed 'optimized for sleep.' In testing this mode, I especially appreciated the TurboBlade's height and horizontal outflow, which seemed tailor-made for a bed. I also liked that, at 15 pounds, it's easy to move around. The automatic Sleep Mode wind speed is about 433 feet per minute—just soft enough to be felt (provided the angle is right) but not so high that you feel like you're in a wind tunnel. At about 40 dB the noise was evident and louder than other fans' lowest speeds but not so loud that I found it distracting, although many online commenters did. In any case, though this may not be the best general-use tower fan, it likely has some very specific use cases (needing to direct airflow both up and down, or high and low) for which some people will find it invaluable. If you're not sure if this is you, there's a two-year warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it for yourself.
