This is the second most expensive fan on our list, but for those who struggle to sleep due to both temperature and sound, this fan could be well worth the splurge. However, its sturdy build and substantial weight mean it's not easily tipped over. This is the heaviest fan on our list by about five pounds, so it doesn’t easily go from room to room. In addition to adjustable speed settings, it also comes with a timer that’s programmable up to eight hours, an energy-saving decrescendo mode that automatically reduces airflow over time, and an adjustable height up to 4.75 feet tall. We found the noise to be nearly undetectable, especially on the lower settings-so much so that we often forgot it was running. The airflow was noticeable up to 20 feet away from the fan, and the fan was able to effectively cool down an entire living room, thanks to the 120-degree oscillation. It comes with five different speed settings, which can be controlled from the bed or the couch using the included remote control. This is Rowenta’s most powerful fan-and the most powerful fan on our list-at 2,400 CFM. Who it isn’t for: People who want a more discrete fan.Ĭalling all hot sleepers: The Rowenta Turbo Silence Extreme+ Stand Fan is both powerful and whisper quiet for a better night’s rest. Who it’s for: People willing to spend more for a powerful pedestal fan that won’t disturb sleep. Type: Table/Desk | Size: 8.9 x 6.3 x 10.9 inches | Weight: 2.6 pounds | CFM: 185 | Oscillation: No We think this versatile and affordable fan could be used for a number of different purposes, from personal use to cooling a small room. In terms of portability, this fan is extremely lightweight and easy to carry from room to room, thanks in part to its wide handle. Plus, we found it quiet enough to keep on during virtual meetings, making this a great work-from-home companion. If you’re looking for a fan that can be used comfortably at close range, this is a great option. We could clearly feel the airflow from six feet away, although it was significantly diminished when standing 20 feet away. It's small enough to sit on a desk or tabletop, but features a significant airflow at its highest setting and a 90-degree tilt for whole-room cooling. Like our best overall pick, this is technically an air circulator and not a fan, meaning it works by constantly moving air throughout the room. Who it isn’t for: People who want a fan that can be felt from a significant distance. Who it’s for: People who want an affordable and effective fan with a small footprint. Type: Floor | Size: 13.5 x 11.8 x 15 inches | Weight: 7.3 pounds | CFM: 584 | Oscillation: No This air circulator doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles of some more expensive fans, such as a remote control, a programmable timer, or smart device compatibility, but it’s effective, quiet, and backed by a five-year warranty.

The 660 is designed to cool a large room, such as a living room or primary bedroom.

However, it does feature a chrome glide bar that enables a full 90-degree tilt. Plus, its sleek, minimalist design blends seamlessly into any space.Īs this is an air circulator and not a traditional fan, it doesn’t oscillate. Because of the power of this circulator relative to its size, you won’t often need to turn it to the highest setting, which makes its already quiet operation even less pronounced. It comes with four different speed settings that are readily accessible on the top of the unit. This floor fan (which is still small enough to sit on a tabletop) produced a direct airflow that could be felt even from 20 feet away. This eliminates the hot and cold spots you get with traditional fans and means you don't need to be standing directly in the fan's path to feel its cooling effect. To do this, the fan emits a stream of air that flows in a spiral pattern while simultaneously drawing in fresh air from behind, using the walls and ceilings as pathways for constant air circulation. Unlike traditional fans, which can only be felt when you stand directly in their path, air circulators move air constantly throughout the whole room. Vornado's signature air circulation technology sets it apart from much of the competition.

Who it isn't for: People who want a fan with extra features such as a remote control or programmable timer. Who it's for: People who want to effectively cool a large room or open floor plan.
