If air conditioning is a luxury you can’t afford, it’s time to start amassing your collection of fans in time for next summer. We particularly like Yuen’to Design’s humorously named Elefan which features an articulating trunk-like tube for directing its blast.
Available in green, white and a more elephant-appropriate shade of grey, the $US75 fan also keeps its spinning blades safely tucked away from tiny fingers, if adventurous toddlers are a concern in your home. And since it runs off a rechargeable battery, if your car also lacks AC, it means you’ve just found the perfect comfort solution for long summer road trips.
