13 Best Fans, Editor test and review (2025)

honorable mentions

Go for Shark Flexbrease Hydro $ 130, I love the original shark flexbrees (above), so I was very excited to see that Shark released a rechargeable portable fan in seven colors, usually not seen in fans such as Lilac and Hanidu. Shark says that it may run with Mr. continuously or with 60 minutes (interval mode?), And after testing it in my son’s football practices, I was impressed that these estimates were more or less accurate. However, the fog emanating from the middle is so fine and in such a small stream that it blown up quickly before giving anyone a chance to cool, until they were sitting with only inches.

Vornado Transom Window Fan for $ 110: I was influenced by the characteristics of this fan – it found a remote control, the air can go in or out, and it is relatively calm. This is definitely a step from less expensive versions. However, foam blocks did not provide as a fit as I like, the fan can only be installed horizontally, and the thermostat is located inside the fan-a problem that struggles to cool down a south-facing bedroom during our tests as well as space heaters.

Vorinado Strat for $ 130, Although most of the Vornadado fans are round -colored – and remain appropriately, Stretta has attached mixed emotions between online commentators. After using it in my husband’s office for full heat, I have to agree that this is a shocking design. A boxy, high-tech hair-drain-like shape, 18 inch tall stretta pulls the air and pushes it upwards through a 1-by-14-inch slot at the front, a maneuvers designed to mimic a long tower fan. When you are in its way, it is narrow and somewhat nervous in the very straight air, but Stretta is still an air circulator, which means sitting on the floor and not necessarily the air to blow the air directly on the user. If you want to feel the air, you will be better with a tower fan.

Honeywell cool tower fan for $ 68 in the entire room, This eight-speed fan is very solid for the price-it has found a remote control that is neatly slots behind the unit, and is also very strong on the base carpet. It was not much quiet than some other fans on low, however, which is its sales point, and lighter bodies seem cheaper than similar fans, although it may not be a deal breaker for price.

Palonis 40-inch oscillation tower fan for $ 70, This fan is quite staggering on the carpet and has a cheap-cheap remote control that must be indicated Absolutely On the fan sensor to operate. However, it keeps out one of the strong breeze seen for a tower fan and has now been working quietly and firmly in the background of his home office for months. Unlike other fans in this price range, the remote is also loaded with batteries with help.

Dyson cool am07 tower fan

Dyson Cool AM07 Tower Fan for $ 370, Our previous pick for the best tower fan is the best Dreo’s MC706Dyson’s prestigious ellipse is still worth a look. It is a beautiful, high -tech looking statement piece that fits into any decoration, with a small footprint of about 8 inches. Lack of blades makes it easier to keep the impeccable and it is safe for children and pets, and the assembly instructions are refreshing. He said, it is one of the most vigorous fans tested when set on high and I do not like that it can only be controlled with a remote, which is small and can easily lose. It is a solid tower fan, but there are high performing options for low.

Vorneado Refresh 8 Table Fan for $ 60: This aromatherapy fan is about 660 size, above, but with a long pedestal and without a handle carrying. It comes in a kind of clinical looking off-white, and at 40 decibels on low, it is much more loud than it expected. The Aromatherapy designation comes from the fact that you can apply essential oils to include the pads slip under the front cap in front of the fan. It worked for a while until I completely saturated the pad, not just a few drops according to the instructions. However, my testing unit had a minor stunning – just so noteworthy that it is upset – and the front grill requires a screwdriver for a long time than a standard size, which I did not have.

not recommended

$ 150 for Dreo Smart Air Circulator Polyphan 704S: This attractive smart pedestal fan has a lot of shiny reviews, but the first order I had died while I was updating the firmware to connect it to the Dreo app. To achieve replacement, I had to take myself a video to try to operate the fan and then pack and then the broken fan had to send the drao back through the Fedex. In this process, I also received several incorrect tracking numbers for the new unit and were implicated to leave the Amazon review with specific keywords. This fan has great features for money, but with its short one year warranty (although it can be extended to two and a half years if you create a Dreo account and register your device) and at least customer service, it is not just a risk worth. The replacement unit has proved reliable, but uncontrolled.

O2cool neck fan for $ 10: I liked that this fan could either be freestanding with a small kickstand in the back or can be worn around the neck with a cord, but it was very weak to provide any noticeable cold air.

Comlife rechargeable camping fan for $ 40, It is a popular option on Amazon that I had high expectations to use during both normal travel and camp trips. I liked it that it was a light and reconstructive, and the bendable octopus legs were appealing for their ability to catch a tent, hanging, or allow the fan to sit in a tripod-style on a bedside table. However, they broke after a few months, and after a few months the fan’s ability to hold a charge decreased by several hours. It is now in garbage.

Alan + Roth Waldosta Outdoor Sealing Fan for $ 120: Bought in the hope of cooling the air inside my backyard Metal-filled gazeboThis 20-inch fan hangs from a hook and is a stylish, retro vibe that fully matches my gazebo oil-fired bronze frame. I hope that fans would make it more pleasant to eat out in hot days, but it does not increase airflow to a large extent – especially compared to it Shark flexbrees-And the cord is so small that it is necessary using a permanent extension cord, which is completely separated.

Lasco duo comfort high-velocity fan and ceramic space heater for $ 98: This smooth double tower has a fan with a heater and four speed settings on the left and its own control buttons on the right. Unfortunately, the fan performance is sudden, in which air speed is struggling for the top 450 feet/m. It is loud than many tower fans at around 70 dB at high. On opening the box, it had some extreme off-gassing-the testing unit gave a terrible plastic smell for about a month, even it was closed during that time. Worse, however, however, the fact is that there is no tip-over protection function for the heater-I knocked on testing it, and it finally moved to the face-down in the carpet for a full 30 seconds before lifting it.
