Every year it happens the same way. The heatwave passes, the evenings feel a little cooler, and the fan goes into the cupboard for another ten months.

The trouble is, British weather in September and October does not read the calendar. Warm sticky afternoons, cold nights, a muggy spell, then the first proper chill. Here is why packing the fan away right now is the wrong call, and what actually gets you through it.

You are storing it right before the most changeable weeks of the year

Late summer into autumn is the most unpredictable stretch of the British calendar. The fan goes away at the exact moment the weather cannot decide what it is doing from one day to the next.

Peak unpredictability, and nothing to hand.

The nights are still warm, so you cannot fully close up

It is not hot enough to run a fan all day, but the bedroom is still stuffy and close at night. You are stuck between windows open and windows shut, and neither one is right.

But a fan does nothing for the chill that is coming

The moment the evenings turn properly cold, the fan is useless. It only ever solved half your comfort problem, and that half of the year is nearly over.

A fan is a summer-only machine.

Firing up the central heating for one room is not worth it

When the first cold snap arrives, heating the whole house to sit in one room feels wasteful, so you put it off, and you sit there cold instead.

So you buy twice: a fan in summer, a heater by autumn

Two machines, two costs, two things to find space for, to solve one comfort problem that keeps changing with the season. It is the quiet trap almost every home falls into, year after year.

One problem. Two purchases. Every single year.

One Machine for the Whole Season Change

The Vortex Air Pro Plus is a 2-in-1 bladeless fan and heater. It cools the last warm days and heats the room you are in when the cold arrives, so you stop buying a new appliance every time the weather turns.

The Vortex Air Pro Plus in a British living room, one device for all seasons

Cools the last of the heat

Powerful bladeless airflow for the warm afternoons and stuffy nights that are not done with you yet.

Heats the first of the cold

A built in heater with a thermostat warms the room you are in, in minutes, when the evenings turn.

Warms the room you use, not the whole house

Comfortable without firing up the central heating for a house full of empty rooms.

Quiet enough to sleep through

Twice as quiet as the original Pro, with a sleep mode for those awkward in-between nights.

One machine, all year

No fan to store in October, no heater to buy in November. It stays out and earns its place.

Two Machines, or One

The premium bladeless machines cost upwards of £400. A fan and a heater bought separately cost more than you think, once you count both. Here is the honest comparison.

A fan and a heater, separately

Two machines to buy
Two things to store, each idle half the year
A fan that does nothing once it turns cold
Still not the airflow of a premium bladeless unit

One Vortex Air Pro Plus

Cools and heats from one machine
Out and earning its place all year
40% stronger, 2x quieter, thermostat and sleep mode
A fraction of a £400 premium price, 2 year warranty

One machine, for a fraction of what two separate ones cost you over a year.

What Owners Say After a Year With It

★★★★★

Useful all year round. A fan in summer, a heater the other fifty weeks. Economical to run, looks great and packs a punch hot or cold. Bought as a replacement for the mega expensive other brand, and in my opinion it is superior.

Got home to a cold house, switched the Vortex on, and within ten minutes the room was lovely and warm. A wonderful product.

★★★★★

Bought mine in November on a friend's recommendation. Great in summer keeping the room cool, and in winter it warms the room in minutes. The customer service has been great too.

Questions, Answered

Does it really heat and cool from one machine?

Yes. The Pro Plus is a true 2-in-1. It pushes cool, powerful bladeless airflow for the warm days, and a built in heater with a thermostat warms the room when it turns cold. One machine, both jobs.

Is it expensive to run?

In cooling mode it is A+ energy rated and costs around 1p an hour. In heating mode it draws more power, like any heater, but because it warms only the room you are in rather than the whole house, it is a smarter way to take the edge off a cold evening.

Is it quiet enough for a bedroom?

Yes. It runs twice as quiet as the original Pro, and on the lower settings with sleep mode it is quiet enough to leave on through the night.

Is it safe around children and pets?

Yes. There are no exposed blades and no grilles collecting dust, so it is safe around curious hands and paws and simple to wipe clean.

What if I change my mind?

You have 30 days to try it at home. If it is not right for you, send it back for a full refund, and it is covered by a 2 year warranty either way.
