A bit noisy
This style of fan is designed to get air flowing throughout a room without unnecessary noise. Some models are near-silent, which is ideal in a home office or bedroom.
A heavy-duty floor fan is super-efficient at moving a lot of air. This type of fan works well in a garage or basement because it can be a bit noisy. Use it in a home gym or next to a workbench.
For comfortable, continuous airflow, a pedestal fan should be your go-to. This type often has an oscillation feature, which comes in handy if you’re trying to push air conditioning down a hallway on a hot night.
Keep in mind these five functions when shopping for a new cooling fan:
This portable fan is mini but mighty! It takes up next to no room in a suitcase or overnight bag and is ideal for use on the go—think campsites, cottages and hotel rooms on your next road trip. It also works well at home on a desk or bedside table.
Set up this sleek, slim tower fan in your home office, TV room or basically anywhere that could use a breeze. The oscillating feature moves air 75 degrees for maximum cooling. We also like the programmable shutdown timer, which is great in the bedroom if you don’t want your fan blowing on you all night long.
Make summer cooking more comfortable by mounting this high-performance blower right under your kitchen cupboards, or place it on the floor in the basement next to your yoga mat for a breezier workout. This multi-purpose floor fan can do it all.
Whether you’re sitting at a desk, standing in the kitchen or lying in bed, this adjustable pedestal fan provides comfortable cooling at just the right height. The simple design will blend in with any décor, in any room in your home.
We think you’ll be a fan of this small-but-powerful desktop blower. It easily tucks into the corner of even the smallest home-office desk, end table or bedside table and is ultra-quiet—even on high speed.
This tower fan whips air around a room like a brisk fall breeze. It’s been engineered for energy efficiency and, with no fast-spinning blades, is safe for little kids and curious pets. Plus, you’re getting the top quality you expect from Dyson appliances.
