  "account": "Meaco has released two new tower fans, both of which are currently in stock and priced under £100. The smaller model is a compact 19 inches tall and sells for £69.99, while the taller 26-inch model costs £99.99. Both fans are praised for their quiet operation, energy efficiency, and suitability for sleep due to dedicated night time modes that lower the fan speed and mute sounds. The larger model is controlled via Meaco's smartphone app, allowing users to set cooling schedules, adjust settings without disturbing others, or activate the fan remotely. Each fan offers 12 fan speeds, four oscillation angles, and powerful airflow rates of 17.27m³ per minute for the smaller model and 34.41m³ per minute for the larger. Meaco's previous air circulators were highly popular during the last heatwave, with all tabletop and pedestal models sold out until October. The company hopes the new tower fans will provide further cooling comfort during upcoming heatwaves.",
  "summary": "There are two sizes to choose from, both with 12 speed settings, eco and night modes, and glow-in-the-dark remote controls.",
