Tower & pedestal fan stock checker (UK)
A free, live stock checker for tower and pedestal fans across the major UK retailers — and an instant restock alert the second a sold-out fan is buyable again.
When the aircon is gone, the fans go next. During a heatwave a good tower or pedestal fan can sell out in hours, and refreshing AO, then Currys, then Argos is a losing game — stock returns to whichever shop you are not watching. This page checks all of them at once, so you see every restock in one place.
Get a restock alert for a sold-out fan
A checker tells you what is in stock now. A restock alert tells you the moment a fan comes back — which is what actually matters when the popular models return and sell out inside the same 15-minute window. Set a free alert on the fan you want and we email you the instant it is buyable again, so you are first in the queue instead of finding out an hour late.

See which tower and pedestal fans are in stock right now across the UK's major retailers, and get one email the second a sold-out fan is back. No app, no cost.

These are the tower and pedestal fans that move fastest when a heatwave hits — the ones actually worth an alert rather than a compromise buy:
- Amazon Basics 28" Oscillating Tower Fan — the default budget pick; sells out first because it's the cheapest name people trust.
- Honeywell QuietSet Tower Fan (HY254) — the quiet-bedroom favourite; disappears whenever the nights turn tropical.
- MeacoFan Sefte & 1056 Air Circulator — the enthusiast choice for genuinely quiet, high-flow air movement.
- Dyson AM07 Cool Tower Fan — the premium bladeless option; limited stock, rarely discounted.
- Pedestal fans (high-volume) — big-name pedestal fans clear out first for living rooms and offices; track them here.
Retailers we check
- AO
- Currys
- John Lewis
- Screwfix
- B&Q
- Toolstation
- The Range
Each restocks on its own schedule, so checking all of them together is the only reliable way to catch the first wave.
Fan or portable air conditioner?
A fan moves air; it doesn't lower the room temperature the way a portable air conditioner does. If you've landed here because the AC is sold out everywhere, a tower or pedestal fan is the sensible stopgap — and you can set alerts on both at once, so whichever comes back first, you're covered. See our fan vs portable AC guide for which actually suits your room.
Why a checker beats refreshing
Popular fans return and sell out inside a single short window, and by the time a busy category page updates in your browser the fan may already be going again. Continuous checking plus an instant alert is the difference between getting one and reading "out of stock" for the tenth time.
Stock status is checked continuously but can change between checks. This guide contains affiliate links — we may earn a small commission at no cost to you, and it never affects what we recommend.
