Things to Know About These Appliances
When the thermometers start showing hot temperatures indoors, it is time to resort to some air cooling devices that will restore your comfort and help you feel at ease in your house. The AC conditioner might seem like a good idea but considering how much energy it requires, it’s not a wise investment in the long run. This is where they come into discussion and why people are so fond of these compact yet efficient room fans that can create an impressive flow of cool air.
Tower models are slim in design and boast a long shape which enables them to fit anywhere in your house and also serves as an effective means of spreading cool air into a room. Unlike other types, the blades are placed along the tall housing, without being exposed, hence the stylish design. As for operating, they can be used in any room because they are more silent and easier to blend into the décor. Just as effective but not as discrete are high velocity fans that occupy a small footprint while delivering an impressive flow to keep you cool.
There are many types of fans, from ceiling ones that stay out of your reach to the pedestal ones that rotate large blades to create a draft of air. Among all these models, the
they manage to stand out for many reasons.
- Slim design
Without a doubt, the narrow shape makes it an excellent choice for any area of your house, no matter how crowded it is. The pedestal models are bulky and require plenty of space but the tower ones can be placed in a corner, near a piece of furniture, or on a window sill and you won’t even notice it is there. Thanks to the slim shape and the lightweight design, using it in different rooms and moving it around is not a burden.
- Stylish appearance
When choosing the appliances for your house, you must take into account the overall design so that the items chosen will perfectly blend into any room décor. There are so many models =to choose from that look so different that finding the one to satisfy your tastes should not be hard. Whether you want a classic one which imitates wood or you want a futuristic fan with an LCD display, there is no way you won’t find an awesome device for the hot days that will also complement your house design.
- Safety in use
Another advantage of choosing a tower model over another type is the safe design that makes them appropriate for use even around children and pets. The little ones can be curious and the rotating blades could seem interesting for them, which could result in an accident. The tower room model has no visible blades that could hurt someone and all the electrical parts are hidden inside the housing so there is no risk of incidents. You might think that the tall design makes them more prone to tilting and falling but the sturdy and wide base prevents them from becoming a danger. Moreover, some models even turn off when tipped over so the risks are minimized.
- Efficient operating
The shape was designed with performance and functionality in mind. Since they are distributed along the tall housing, the cool air is spread on a wider surface, hence the increased efficiency. Moreover, they come with an oscillating feature with an angle which can vary from 90 to 180 degrees so the cool air reaches an even wider surface. Therefore, it will deliver more cool air to a larger area without requiring more operating time or electricity.
- More silent
Compared to other models, the tower ones are more silent in operating so using them in bedrooms, nurseries, or living rooms will not become an intrusion. They are particularly designed to eliminate unnecessary noise caused by large rotating blades. Since they are larger and deliver cool air to a wider area, you won’t need to set them at a high speed so they will create little noise. On a low speed, it creates no more than 24dB while the highest speed does not exceed 70 dB.
- Environmentally friendly
It is important to choose appliances which do not harm the environment, especially those that you use regularly and for a long time. Luckily, slim fans use less electricity than other types and they also come with timers that allow you to set them to work for a period of time before turning off to preserve energy. Models with a built-in thermostat turn it on and off only when they sense changes of temperature in order to prevent energy waste.
- Easy to use
You might think that a sleek slim room fan comes with complicated functions that you won’t need or you won’t know how to handle but, in fact, it is very user-friendly. The majority of the models come with intuitive controls and indicator lights which guide you through operating and maintenance. Moreover, there is also a remote control coming with the device so distance operating is possible. In most cases, the remote control sits in a compartment in the housing so you won’t misplace it.
Tips for Making a Good Choice
Before making any purchase, and this also goes for tower room fans, you need to do some research and learn more about each item in order to be able to select the best of the best. This model has some particularities and knowing them can guide you towards finding
an efficient unit that will use little energy and will give a whole lot of cool air.
Check the CFM
They are designed to cool rooms of certain areas and although not every model comes with specifications which promote it for a certain room size, you will know that an item will show great results if it can handle the air in a room. The CFM or the cubic feet of air it can move within a minute shows its ability to handle either large or small rooms. While some have a CFM of 450, others can reach 2,500 meaning they are more suitable for large areas and they will yield better. Therefore, keep this in mind when choosing a new fan for a tiny bedroom, a large living room or a crowded kitchen.
Choose a sturdy design
It is essential to pick a stable and strong model if you want to keep your family away from incidents. If you do not go for a model with a large base and slip-resistant feet, it can become a safety hazard, especially for children. The tall shape makes them more fragile and easier to tilt so you must choose an item that is stable and does not flip over. Also, avoid placing them at height and since the slim shape allows you, hide them in narrow corners that are hard to reach. If you have small children and are afraid they might be able to run it when you are not around, consider using a window fan as it provides cooling while being out of children’s reach.
Opt for customizable operating
It is an appliance that you use to make you feel comfortable and that you must adapt to your own needs so it is important to go for one that has adjustable features. Different operating speeds are a must because you might not always need to keep it on the high setting and several airflow modes will come in handy if you want a soft breeze. Also, why not go for a model with a thermostat that will turn it on or off depending on the ambient temperature? The programmable timer will come in handy for when you want to fall asleep or if you plan to leave the house and you are afraid you will forget to turn it off.
Look for convenient features
Needless to say, it should be easy to use and for that, it must come with some great features which ensure convenience. The remote control comes in handy when you do not want to get out of bed to change the settings of your fan and the indicator lights will always tell you the status.
What Stands Behind our Ratings?
Before making a top, we had a look at different aspects that were helpful in deciding on the best unit. Given how many products you can find on the market, knowing a thing or two about their operation and the essential features they should have will
help you make the best purchase.
Innovative air cooling technology
We looked only for the best models that could provide the most advanced cooling technologies which contribute to an energy-efficient operating. This is why we chose the Dyson AM 07 as the finest unit based on the Air Multiplier technology it uses. All the other models were very efficient in delivering cool air using rotating blades which spread the air over a wide area.
Useful oscillating feature
Despite the fact that they distribute the cool air on a wider area, we agreed that the oscillating feature can maximize the efficiency so we only looked for models which came with this feature. All our picks come with an oscillating base which allows the unit to rotate around its own axis in order to spread the air on a much larger surface.
Adjustable speeds and airflow settings
Having full control over the device means that you can customize its operating in order to create the perfect ambiance and to save energy. Therefore, we only looked for models with more speed levels that operate at a low noise to preserve silence and comfort. The Dyson AM07 comes with no less than 10 speeds and 10 airflow settings which let you use it as you best like.
Convenient thermostat and timer
The best ones feature a timer so you can set it to work within certain time intervals that differ from model to model. Moreover, among the three top-rated picks, you can also find a thermostat that automatically turns them on or off whenever the room temperature rises or drops compared to the set temperature.
The Most Reliable Brands on the Market
Although there are many manufacturers that provide a wide range of fans of different types, not all of them manage to remain in the attention of their customers. Many years of experience, dedication, and hard work show results in the quality products that people trust, which is why
it’s vital to look for models designed by popular and reliable brands.
- Dyson
When you think of innovation in this domain, Dyson is the first name that comes to your mind and that is mostly due to the unique technologies they use in designing the state-of-the-art AM series. Dyson manages to please the most demanding customers with the most stylish and advanced models that completely change the way a fan should look and work.
- Ozeri
Another brand that makes a difference in the field is Ozeri and their products also seem to stand out from the crowd not only through the elegant design but also through the efficient operating. Those looking for a great device at reasonable price should focus on the products offered by Ozeri, among which we mention the Ozeri Ultra, Ozeri 360, and Ozeri OZH1.
Frequently Asked Questions

While the market is filled with solutions for this problem, not all cater to the situation in the same manner.

The Dyson Air Multiplier AM07 is your best option as it not only provides 10 speed and 10 airflow settings to select between, providing you with complete power over cooling customization, but it boasts a pet and child safe design as it is bladeless. Just as smart of a selection comes from the Honeywell HY-280 model that oscillates to provide an even coverage and cool the room as effectively as possible. It provides you with customization capabilities as well as there are 8 airflow and 5 speed settings put at your disposal. However, if you want a model that is budget-friendly without sacrificing quality, the Lasko #4930 is the right one for you as it comes at a cheap price yet delivers an outstanding amount of 3 speed settings to pick between so that you can cool down the room in no time.
