Why Brits are buying two fans this November

A single Pro Plus is excellent in whichever room you put it in. The catch is that it only warms that one room, so you end up choosing between a warm bedroom and a warm living room. A second machine simply removes that choice, with nothing to carry between rooms.

Think about where you actually spend your evenings and nights. For most people it is two rooms: the living room in the evening and the bedroom overnight. A machine in each means both are comfortable when you are in them, without paying to warm rooms that sit empty.

This is the part that makes a second unit easier to justify. The Pro Plus heats in winter and cools in summer, so a second machine is not a heater that lives in a cupboard for half the year. It earns its place in July as much as in January.

The common question is whether one is enough if you just move it from room to room. In practice people get tired of unplugging it, carrying it through the house and setting it up again every night. Two means both rooms are ready, which is rather the point.

Here is why the timing matters. As part of the biggest sale of the year, the second fan is half price. A single Pro Plus is £127.99, and a pair is £239.98 rather than buying two separately. For anyone already weighing up a second unit, that is the nudge.

A second machine often goes in a spare room, a second bedroom or a parent's room. The Pro Plus is bladeless, with nothing exposed to touch, so it is safe around grandchildren and pets, and it is quiet enough to sleep next to, so it works overnight.

It is a familiar story. People buy one, live with it for a few weeks, and come back for a second, for another room or for a relative. With the second fan half price this month, there is little reason to wait for that second order.
