The Seftie

This Meaco fan, called "The Seftie" has helped get us through the last few very hot nights. It is almost silent at the low settings and so does not disturb your sleep in the slightest. You can set three levels of oscillation to save it sweeping widely and covering part of the room where you are not sitting/sleeping. It has  a "night" mode and will gradually reduce the power of the fan every half hour before switching itself off. 
Seftie means "Quiet, gentle and undisturbed" in Old English apparently!
