The Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch model is an excellent electric fan with powerful performance, great coverage, and a tempting low price.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch review In 2026, we experienced a record-hot summer in the UK, as did a lot of other countries around the world. As a result, people were rushing online to pick up a new fan to prevent themselves from
struggling with the intense heat. But for many, their efforts were in vain: mass shortages shocked the nation, leaving many struggling to cool down.

As a result, it may be well worth grabbing a fan sooner rather than later, in order to avoid potential shortages that could hit consumers in 2027. And Ive just tested a new fan that I consider to be a top option for dealing with scorching temperatures, the Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch. Like a lot of the best fans , this Meaco model offers a wide variety of power modes that can suit any situation. There are 12 power levels to be exact, with the lowest providing a subtle yet satisfying breeze, and the highest delivering a
mighty, ultra-cool blast. I found performance to be consistently strong
across all power levels, with strong coverage from the top to the base of the model. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

Whats more, this tower fan is a fairly quiet operator. While not quite silent at lower levels, youll only hear a very light whirring noise, which is ideal if you like to keep the fan on while falling asleep. It has to be said, though, that as you ascend into the upper tiers of power, the fan does make a fair bit of noise. Theres a slight hissing sound, and the gust of wind naturally comes through with considerable impact. This is understandable, however, at the top level, and the fan is otherwise softly spoken. (Image credit: Future) Meaco Sefte Tower Fan at Amazon for 62.99 Something that I really liked about the Meaco Sefte Tower Fan is its wide coverage. It can oscillate 180 degrees horizontally, making it a great choice if you want to cool everyone on your couch, for instance. It doesnt oscillate up and down, but as a tower fan it already offers plenty of vertical coverage.

One more thing that makes this fan a hit is its excellent ease-of-use. It comes with a remote, but also has built-in touch controls that were perfectly responsive for me when testing. You can use the touch controls to turn the
fan on or off, adjust power levels, control oscillation, and set a timer. Theres also a button that enables you to switch modes between Standard, Night (which mutes interface audio and gradually brings the fans speed down), and Eco (which automatically adjusts fan speed depending on room temperature).

The only thing that potentially holds the user experience back is the lack of a companion app. This fan has no Wi-Fi capabilities or companion software, meaning that youll have to stick with the remote or touch controls. Given
this models relatively modest price, this sacrifice is understandable, but I wouldve liked the option to control the fan from my phone.

You wont have to make too many sacrifices with this fan overall, though. Yes, its plasticky build doesnt exactly scream premium, but its slim, meaning it wont take up too much space on your table or desk, and feels relatively durable too. Its also easy to take apart for cleaning or maintenance, and I liked the display on the fan that shows room temperature.

So, is the Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch worth the money? At 69.99 (about $90 / AU$130), I think the answer is yes. Youre not getting premium features like misting and app support but, for the price, you get adaptable and impressive performance, strong coverage, and tight touch controls, which make it ideal for using on a hot summers day. If you need misting, or just want to check
out some strong alternatives, though, make sure to head down to the also consider section. (Image credit: Future) Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch
review: price & release date Priced at 69.99 (about $90 / AU$130) Released in August 2026 The Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch was released in August 2026 alongside the larger Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 36-inch. It can be purchased in
the UK and select European markets, but is not directly solid in the US or Australia. This tower fan will set you back 69.99 (about $90 / AU$130),
making it a relatively budget-friendly option for its size, coverage, and quality. Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch review: specs Swipe to scroll horizontally

Youre looking for a quiet operator When using a fan at night, the last thing you want to be subjected to is a loud whirring noise. But luckily, this Meaco fan is a quiet operator, and will keep you chilled without making a racket
so long as youre not using it at the top power levels.

You need wide coverage If you want to keep the whole family cool, this fan
is a top option. It can oscillate 180 degrees horizontally, meaning everyone on the couch will get some of that sweet cold air. Dont buy it if

You need misting This model doesnt have any misting capabilities, so you
wont get that extra chill when using it. If you want mess-free misting, be sure to check out some of my recommendations in the also consider section.

Youd like app controls As one of the more budget-friendly options in its size-class, the Meaco Sefte Tower Fan cuts back in a few areas here and
there. One of those is the lack of Wi-Fi and app support, so if youre looking for smart-home integrations, it may be better to look elsewhere. Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch review: also consider

Dreo Smart Misting Fan 516S This is the fan I use at home and I absolutely love it. It produces fine, mess-free mist with ultra-cool winds, the water tank depletes fairly slowly, and it can be controlled via an easy-to-use app. Its not quite as big as this Meaco fan, and doesnt have quite as wide a range of horizontal oscillation, but its a great option for cooling yourself down
in the warmer months. Read my full Dreo Smart Misting Fan 516S review .

Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo This one also has misting capabilities, but can be used cordless, and is satisfyingly lightweight, making it a spectacular all-round option. It doesnt oscillate and theres no remote control included, but were big ahem... fans of this personal cooling solution. Read our full Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo review . How I tested the Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch (Image credit: Future) Tested across a two-week period Made use of
all settings and features Used in a controlled environment at Future Labs I spent two weeks with the Meaco Sefte Tower Fan 19-inch, using it in a controlled environment here at Future Labs.

Across this period, I tested all of the fans features, and made sure to try the fan in Night and Eco mode, as well as its standard setting. In addition,
I tested all 12 of the power settings in order to assess noise levels and overall performance.

More generally, Ive tested tons of gadgets here at TechRadar, where I serve
