Buying Guide for the Best Tower Fan

Fan Cooling Power

• Tower fans cannot be used on their own for large living spaces. That’s you will want to match airflow to your room size as possible. A high air circulation power is ideal for a large room and vice versa for a small room.
• This is because it tends to get uncomfortable if you have a high circulation tower in a small room because of the airspeed and noise.

Speed Controls and Convenient Features

• To achieve customized comfort, it is good to go with a tower fan with the highest number of controls you can afford. Features such as auto-off or a sleep timer are just as important as they come in handy to prevent getting a room too cold and using too much power.
• Control from a distance is also a must-have. Never skip the remote control.

Tower Fan Noise Level

• The sound of wind howling in and out of your fan can be annoying, or for some reason, it can help you sleep. Am talking about those of us who can’t sleep unless there’s the soothing of white noise. Either way, you’ll want to consider how the noise level of your fan is going to affect you.

Fan Ease of Operation

• Tower fans can come with lots of features some too sophisticated that you can find it difficult to operate the fan or miss out on some features that can make your life more comfortable. You may find tower fans with different oscillation features, humidifying, and air purifying. Consider the features you want and the ones that increase the price for nothing.
• Also, don’t forget to consider how easy it is to clean the fan you pick.

Fan Safety Features

• Since tower fans are placed on the floor, young, curious fingers can easily get stuck if your fan has wide grates. Always ensure that your fan has an auto shut off feature, soft blades, and narrow grates that are safe around kids and pets.
• You will also want to look for safety information and other people’s experiences with a fan. Like whether it has been reported to overheat or produce funny noises.

Design and Aesthetics

• Do you want a tower fan that blends with your décor? Of course, you do. But you also need to consider if you have the space for it.

FAQ for Tower Fans

Conclusion You never know what you are missing until you bring home a tower fan. Look for only the features that you need rather than fancy additions you may never use. The convenience of a tower fan is that you can move it from room to room and use less power. But if you have a large sized room, a pedestal fan may be the better option over a tower fan, or a ceiling fan.
