When I saw the news that the UK hit 29.3°C in May, marking the hottest May Day in 35 years, I knew this summer wasn’t going to be like the others.
This isn’t just a warm spell. It’s the start of something much longer and much hotter. And if you’ve lived through even one British heatwave, especially in a poorly ventilated flat, you know how quickly things can go from “nice” to miserable.
I Missed Out Once. I’m Not Making That Mistake Again.
Last summer, I tried to tough it out with an old desk fan. It was loud, weak, and made no real difference. I finally gave in and tried to order the Vortex Pro, but it was already sold out.
Then I Found the Vortex Air™ AuraWave Hot + Cool
The AuraWave is Vortex’s newest model. Same bladeless tech, same heating and cooling features, but quieter and sleeker.
More importantly, it was in stock.
I Use It Every Day Now
Whether I’m working from home or trying to wind down before bed, the AuraWave is running.
Why AuraWave Is the Fan People Are Choosing This Summer
This isn’t just another plastic fan you stash in the cupboard by September. It’s a full seasonal comfort system that works all year.
What Real Buyers Are Saying
You asked. We answer.
Everything You Need To Know
How quickly does it heat or cool a room?
AuraWave delivers noticeable comfort within minutes. Customers report quick cooling even during hot afternoons and heating that takes the chill off in under 10 minutes
Is it safe around pets and kids?
Yes. Its bladeless design means no spinning parts, and it stays cool to the touch. Many buyers with young children or pets specifically chose it for this reason
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes. AuraWave is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 2-year warranty, giving you peace of mind from day one
What’s included in the box?
You’ll receive the fan, a remote control, a base with simple assembly, and a quick-start guide. Most users report setup takes less than 5 minutes
How loud is it during use?
AuraWave is whisper-quiet on low and mid settings. Even on high, most customers find it quiet enough to sleep through. It’s often described as quieter than expected
How much electricity does it use?
AuraWave is energy-efficient. While exact costs depend on use and tariff, most users note that it doesn’t significantly affect their bills—especially when used as a spot heater or cooler instead of central systems
Get Ahead of the Heat While You Still Can
We’ve already broken temperature records, and forecasts say more heatwaves are on the way. Fans don’t stay in stock when the temperature spikes. If you want to stay ahead of it, now’s the time.
