Unfortunately, this heavy gizmo is one of the most wobbly models we tested, literally blowing itself into a backbend at high speeds. For a futuristic-looking fan, it still has the old-school oscillation knob on the unit, with no button to control it remotely. It chirps loudly and obnoxiously with every setting change, and though the lights dim, they never turn off.
Additionally, the programmable, auto-off timer can be set for energy-efficient, nighttime cooling. A handy remote controls all fan functions, and has a convenient storage spot on the back. Equipped with The Blue Plug™ safety fuse technology, this fan is a safe and an energy-efficient option. Ideal for any home office, living room, bedroom, yoga studio, and other larger rooms in the home. The report is anchored on the thorough qualitative and quantitative assessment of the Market.

The Honeywell Quietset Whole Room tower fan is well built, quiet and affordable, with a solid, stable build and a beautiful, colorfully laid out control panel that was simpler to figure out and use than the competition. To test each pedestal fan’s power, we performed multiple airspeed tests on different settings and combined that with how well it translates into what you can feel across a room. We measured airflow, placing each fan across a large room and standing on the other side to gauge how easily we could feel each setting, both directly in front of and off to the sides of every fan. And we considered how many settings, modes, features, and timer options each model has, alongside the use of those settings. The Honeywell Double Blade 16 is a standard pedestal fan with enough upgrades to make it a solid fan and a solid value, too.
While a pedestal fan isn’t as easy to slip into your decor as a tower, it gives you better coverage in larger rooms since the blades clear your furniture. The Rowenta Turbo Silence Extreme VU5670 was the sturdiest, best built and easiest to adjust of the pedestal fans we tested, and with the tallest extension, it should be more usable in larger spaces than the other towers. A tower fan gives you great cooling performance with a small footprint, so it’s easy to place in a living room, in a bedroom or anywhere you’d prefer to tuck an appliance out of the way.
Switching between speeds, the unit we tested also had considerable difficulty finding the right rotation rate, shifting awkwardly between several speeds before settling at a constant pace. At the end of the day, though we find much to like about this quiet, effective fan, we’re not quite sure its shortcomings make it worth the hefty price tag. The Lasko S16612 with Thermostat offers surprisingly convenient functionality beyond its optional thermostat functionality — which we love.
Of all the models we tested, this one operates at the lowest pitch, sounding more like a hum than the traditional whirring of a fan. Though it can’t point down, it can be angled nearly vertically to bounce air off the ceiling and blow it effectively around an entire room. It’s the only one with the cord coming out of the bottom of the stand, as well, rather than dangling off the base of the motor halfway up the stand. A pedestal fan is not only an excellent tool for keeping your family members comfortable during the warmer summer days, but it’s also great for circulating the air within the home all year long. Today there are a great number of pedestal fans on the market, which can make choosing the perfect model confusing. This guide will help you identify the fan that best meets your needs.
This was the same SensorPush we used when we tested the best dehumidifiers. This time, we noted the temperature of the basement before and after our two-hour tests by examining reports sent from the SensorPush. Since most fans within a given category work pretty well, budgeting more gives you more features and better aesthetics. You can find super-affordable basic units like the approximately $17 Black+Decker circulator, alen breathesmart or scale up to the striking, feature-laden, multipurpose Dyson tower at just under $770. At 3.44 pounds, the Vornado was significantly lighter than some of the other fans, like the 9.25-pound Lasko Wind Machine 3300. Rubber grips on its underside kept it stable on any setting, and it resisted toppling when we tried to jostle it, unlike some of the other lightweight models like the Black+Decker BFB09W.
So while you’ll likely be happy with whichever fan you choose, we’ve picked out the best tower, pedestal and floor fans to suit your space. When it comes to sheer airflow and power, the Vornado 683 Medium takes the cake. It’s easily felt from across a room, though only if you’re standing directly in its tunnel-like path. Not only does this high velocity feel great in your face after a prolonged period outside on a hot day, but it also helps to circulate air around a room more effectively — exactly what this model is made to do. The Lasko Cyclone is also quite powerful and has the added bonus of oscillation and a timer, both of which the Vornado lacks. Also notable for their similarly high top speeds are the Honeywell Double Blade and Rowenta Turbo Silence Extreme 5-Speed.
With three powerful speeds, optional oscillation, and, directional louvers to adjust the air vertically, this fan will keep you cool and comfortable without using much space. Plus the multi-function remote control allows you to create your desired comfort level from across the room. Need a pedestal fan with lots of options and a fully functional range of speeds? This fan has 12 different speeds so you can achieve the ideal airflow for your needs. The Lasko® 1850 performance pedestal fan in black/gray, powerfully cools the largest area of your home. This fan performs at three quiet, energy-efficient speeds with oscillation and adjustable tilt-back for direct airflow where needed.
