The best Trotec fans, compared.
Top pick: TROTEC TTV 7000 Best value: TROTEC TVM 13 floor fan – Lowest price in the set at about £13.19, with three speeds and 266 reviews, if you accept the gaps on noise, wattage and plug. Updated October 2026.
You want moving air, not a colder room. It does not refrigerate a room, and it is not an evaporative cooler. Choose the spot for the breeze, the plug, and the noise at the speed you will use. Six models are compared here: the 13, 8, 17, 16, 23 S and the industrial 7000. Only the 17 and the 16 list a Type G plug. In England, Wales and Scotland the rule is a BS 1363 plug, or a non-UK plug with a conversion plug and a BS 1362 fuse. The [Trotec fan buying guide](/hub/cooling/trotec-fan/sub/trotec-fan-buying-guide) takes job, plug and noise before price. A Trotec fan is a mains appliance that moves air.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Where will the fan sit?
The TTV 7000 is an industrial axial fan rather than a household cooling fan, with the Amazon listing claiming three speeds, 7,000 m³/h airflow and 80 Pa pressure. That capacity is aimed at high-volume ventilation and drying work, not a desk, lounge or bedroom. The 5.0 rating looks impressive but comes from only two ratings and no captured review text, so it offers almost no dependable evidence about ownership. Published specifications also vary: the current manual gives about 7,400 m³/h, 95 Pa and 0.32 kW, while the UK shop and Dantherm publish 8,500 m³/h and 100 Pa. Amazon's £769.06 price, missing plug type and contradictory Micro USB, rechargeable and dimension fields make pre-purchase verification essential. Choose it only when an industrial airflow calculation and site conditions justify it, not because it has the highest star average.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A professionally assessed ventilation or drying job that genuinely needs industrial axial airflow
Less suitable: Homes, bedrooms, ordinary garages, or buyers without a confirmed plug, electrical supply and airflow requirement
Specifications
Common questions
What airflow and noise does the TTV 7000 listing state?
The bullets and the capacity field both say 7,000 m³/h. Air pressure max. is 80 Pa. The noise field says 58 dB, with no distance. The listing asks what the noise level is and does not print an answer.
Can it be used outdoors, and is there a timer?
The indoor/outdoor field says Indoor. Specification met says IP55. The listing asks about outdoors and about a timer and does not print an answer. No timer field is printed.
What power connection is printed?
Power source is corded electric, 460 W, 230 V, and cordless is No. No mains-plug type is printed. Connector type says Micro USB, and reusability says Rechargeable. Those lines conflict with the corded 230 V fields.
The TVE 23 S is a full-height 50 W standing fan with three speeds and 80° oscillation in the title, giving it a more conventional room-fan shape than the table models. Its 4.3 rating from 291 reviews is one of the stronger combinations of score and volume in this set. The listing says it is height adjustable, although it gives only a single 130 cm dimension rather than a usable range; Trotec's UK shop describes two set-up heights of 96 cm and 130 cm. Noise is listed at up to 60 dB, so it is not presented as a low-speed sleep measurement. The decisive drawback for a UK household is the stated Schuko connector, with no Type G line. There is also no dependable remote claim, and the £70.82 Amazon price is much higher than the separate ex-VAT UK-shop figure.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A standing-fan setup where broad oscillation and two practical heights matter after the UK power connection has been resolved
Less suitable: Buyers who require a supplied Type G plug, a documented quiet mode or reliable remote control
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing state a height range?
The title says height adjustable. The dimensions field is a single height of 130 cm, not a range.
Is a remote included?
No remote field is printed. Several reviews say there is no remote. One review describes a remote that needs a firm press.
What plug and noise figure are printed?
The mains connector and the connector type both say Schuko. There is no Type G line. The noise field is 60 dB. The title says Silent. No airflow figure is printed.
The TVE 17 is a 40 W table fan with three speeds, an adjustable head and a Type G plug stated on the Amazon listing. Trotec's manual adds a 40 cm blade, 80° oscillation and a maximum 57 dB(A) measured at 1 m on level 3, making the noise claim more useful than an unexplained single number. Its 4.3 rating from 266 reviews gives it a sounder evidence base than models supported by only a handful of ratings. At 62 cm high it needs more table space than a compact desk fan, but that larger format should suit a living room or home office better than the tiny TVE 8. The listing has some poor catalogue fields, including unrelated tool-set wording and a disputed tilt account, so those fields should not drive the decision. For a household buyer prioritising a listed UK plug, useful size and review volume, this is the top pick in the set.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A living room, home office or larger table where a listed UK plug and broad oscillation matter
Less suitable: A small desk, a height-adjustable pedestal position, or buyers seeking a documented sleep mode
Specifications
Common questions
Is the TVE 17 listing wall mountable?
Mounting type and installation type both say tabletop. The listing asks if it is wall mountable and does not print an answer. The design field says Exhaust fan.
Does the listing state smart features?
The listing asks and does not print an answer. No smart field is printed. There is no remote field. One review says there is no remote.
Which plug and tilt does the listing state?
The mains connector says Type G. Special features say Adjustable tilt. One review says the airflow cannot be aimed up or down. Voltage is 240 V and wattage is 40 W.
At £13.19, the TVM 13 puts a three-speed 35 cm metal floor fan within reach of buyers who want a direct breeze rather than room-wide oscillation. Its 4.2 rating from 266 reviews gives it a broader evidence base than the industrial TTV 7000, and the 3 kg frame is still manageable to move between rooms. The listing states 44 W and 45 dB, but the available Trotec manual gives 59.5 W and 61 dB(A) at 1 m on stage 3, so neither power nor noise should be treated as settled. The control fields also conflict over remote, button and touch operation, while reviews mostly report no remote. No airflow figure or clear UK plug type is provided. It is the best-value option here on purchase price, provided you accept those documentation gaps and do not need a quiet bedroom fan.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A low-cost direct breeze in a living room, home gym or workspace where floor placement suits
Less suitable: Bedrooms, buyers who need oscillation or a remote, and anyone who wants an unambiguous UK plug and noise specification
Specifications
Common questions
Can this listing be used outdoors?
The indoor/outdoor field says Indoor. The listing asks whether it can be used outdoors and does not print an answer.
Does the listing include a remote?
The control method says Remote, the controller type says Button Control, and the switch type says Touch Control. Reviews mostly say there is no remote.
What noise and airflow does the listing state?
The noise field says 45 dB. No airflow figure is printed. Wattage is 44 W and voltage is 240 V.
The TVE 16 raises a three-speed fan head from 110 to 129 cm, so it can move air at sofa or standing height without taking up table space. Its listing states 50 W, 2,342.4 m³/h airflow, 52.5 dB and a Type G plug, all of which are more relevant to a UK room than a generic product title. The 3.4 rating from 71 reviews is a warning, however, and provides much thinner owner evidence than the TVE 17 or TVE 23 S. Control details are unresolved: the listing calls it remote-controlled, while one review says the real control is by buttons, and another reports failed oscillation. The title's 16-inch description is credible, but the separate 50.79-inch blade field is not. It is the conditional choice when pedestal height matters more than the stronger rating and tabletop format of the top pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A living room or home office where a Type G pedestal fan needs to direct air at sofa or standing height
Less suitable: Buyers prioritising strong review sentiment, dependable remote control or compact storage
Specifications
Common questions
What height does the TVE 16 listing state?
A bullet says continuous height adjustment from 110 to 129 cm. The dimensions field prints 129 cm height only.
Does the listing include a remote, and does it oscillate?
Controller type and control method both say Remote. One review says the real control is buttons. Special features say Oscillating, with no angle. One review says oscillation does not work.
Which plug and airflow are printed?
The mains connector says Type G. The airflow field says 2342.4 m³/h. Noise is 52.5 dB. The blade-length field prints 50.79 inches against a 16 inch title.
The TVE 8 is a small two-speed table fan with switchable 90° oscillation, suited to moving air around a desk rather than across a large room. Its manual specifies a 23 cm blade, 25 W and 56.5 dB(A) at 1 m on level 2, while the Amazon listing says 30 W and includes an unusable 8 × 8 × 8 cm size field. Reviewers repeatedly describe it as very small, which is useful if space is tight but disappointing if you expect a room fan. The 3.2 rating from 575 reviews is the weakest average in this Trotec set despite having the largest review count. It has a 1.5 m cable and simple button controls, with no reliable remote or timer claim. Most importantly for a UK buyer, the listing specifies a Type F plug rather than Type G.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Close-range desk use where compact size and oscillation matter and the power connection is resolved correctly
Less suitable: Whole-room cooling, quiet overnight use, or buyers who require a supplied UK three-pin plug
Specifications
Common questions
Does the TVE 8 listing say it oscillates?
The title says automatic 90° oscillation with a way to switch it off. The size line also prints 90°. The listing asks whether oscillation is adjustable and does not print an answer.
Is a timer or a remote printed?
No timer field is printed. The listing asks whether it has a timer and does not print an answer. There is no remote line. Controller type is Button Control.
Which plug and noise figure are printed?
The mains connector says Type F. The noise field says 56.5 dB. The power-source field says Hand Power, while wattage is 30 W and cordless is No.
We compared the six Trotec fans on this page using amazon.co.uk listings, Trotec UK shop and manual figures where they differ from Amazon, and public UK safety sources. Scores weigh the job, the plug, listed noise, controls and the review base. We did not run a lab test, and we did not treat non-UK review text as British customer opinion.
Job fit
25%Desk, sofa height, a floor breeze and site ventilation are different jobs. A very small table fan and an industrial axial fan should not be scored as if they do the same work.
UK plug and supply
25%UK mains are about 230 V. In England, Wales and Scotland a BS 1363 plug, or a non-UK plug with a conversion plug and a BS 1362 fuse, is the supply check that comes before features.
Noise at the speed you use
20%A decibel figure without speed and distance is only a claim. Listing and manual numbers are kept apart when they disagree, as they do for the TVM 13.
Oscillation, height and remote
15%Oscillation, a usable height range and a remote count only when the listing is clear. Conflicting control fields and a review that contradicts the listing reduce the score.
Price and review evidence
15%amazon.co.uk price, star rating and review count are used together. A 5.0 from two ratings is not treated as stronger evidence than a lower score from hundreds of reviews.
Pick the job before the model name. A desk, a sofa, a floor breeze and a site fan are not the same purchase. Then check the plug against a UK socket, then the noise figure at the speed you will use, and only then the price. The rows above are the six Trotec listings. They do not include other brands that share the search results.
A Trotec fan is a mains appliance that moves air. It is not a refrigerant air conditioner and it is not an evaporative air cooler. The six models on this page are the TVM 13 floor fan, the TVE 8 table fan, the TVE 17 table fan, the TVE 16 pedestal, the TVE 23 S standing fan and the industrial TTV 7000. Names that appear in the same searches, including MBSM, ROVSUN, PureMate, DREO and SwitchBot, are different brands. Choose the job first. A desk needs a small fan. A sofa needs height.
Type G is printed for the TVE 17 and the TVE 16. Type F is printed for the TVE 8, and Schuko for the TVE 23 S. A travel adaptor is not the conversion plug and BS 1362 fuse described for England, Wales and Scotland. If the plug is not what the listing led you to expect, that can be a description problem under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
The TVM 13 listing says 45 dB. The manual says 61 dB(A) at 1 m on stage 3. Those are different claims. A figure with no speed and no distance does not tell you how the fan will sound at the setting you use at night. Electrical Safety First also advises against leaving a fan on overnight.
The TTV 7000 is an industrial axial fan at about £769.06. Its 5.0 score comes from two ratings and no captured review text. Amazon, the manual and the UK shop publish different airflow, pressure and power figures, so quote the source with the number. IP55 on this model does not transfer to the household TVE or TVM fans.
The plug decides whether the fan is a straightforward UK buy. Mains here are about 230 V and 50 Hz. In England, Wales and Scotland, regulation 35 of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 requires a BS 1363 plug, or a non-UK plug supplied with a conversion plug and a BS 1362 fuse. Electrical Safety First tells buyers to look for a UK 3-pin fused plug. On these amazon.co.uk fields, Type G is printed for the TVE 17 and the TVE 16. Type F is printed for the TVE 8.
Noise, reach and the job should be read together. A gym-style fan and the TTV 7000 are the wrong tools for a bedroom. Reviewers describe the TVE 8 as very small, which fits a desk. The TVE 17 is 62 cm high. The TVE 16 adjusts from 110 to 129 cm. For the TVE 23 S, the UK shop describes 96 cm and 130 cm, while Amazon prints a single 130 cm dimension. A noise figure without distance and speed is only a claim. The TVM 13 listing says 45 dB. The manual says 61 dB(A) at 1 m on stage 3.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a living-room or home-office fan with a Type G plug stated on the amazon.co.uk listing, three speeds and a review base of more than a handful of ratings. The TVE 17 is the match. Skip it if the table is small or you need a documented sleep mode.
You want a direct floor breeze and the lowest shelf price in this set. The TVM 13 is about £13.19, with three speeds and 266 reviews. Take it only if you can accept conflicting noise, wattage, control and plug fields.
You need the fan off the furniture and aimed around sofa or standing height. The TVE 16 lists Type G and a height of 110–129 cm. The 3.4 rating from 71 reviews is thinner evidence than the table fan above it.
These six Trotec fans move air. They do not cool a room the way a refrigerant unit does. For a UK household table, the TVE 17 is the top pick because the listing states a Type G plug, three speeds and a 4.3 rating from 266 reviews. If the lowest purchase price matters more than a settled specification, the TVM 13 is the best-value option at about £13.19. Leave the TTV 7000 for a ventilation or drying job that actually needs industrial airflow.
