Is an expensive fan worth it? 5 features it's worth investing in to see you through many summers

Three summers ago I made the bold decision to invest in what I considered to be 'an expensive fan'. I paid £160 for a Whisper Duux fan, making it over 4 times more expensive than the budget Argos fan that had seen me through my early twenties. However, three years on I am completely convinced that sometimes an expensive fan is worth it, let me explain.

Fans can range hugely in price, at the bottom end you have the £25 desk models, and at the top end of the price range, you have the bladeless Dyson fans coming in at over £600. Since expensive will mean different things to different people to clarify what I mean by expensive I'm talking about any fan that crosses that £100 mark.
