Best Tower Fan

As much as we look forward to the warmth of the sun on our necks every summer, we also begin to dread how hot it will get in our apartments, or bedrooms. Once the heat rises, one of the easiest ways to stay cool without expensive air conditioning is by using a tower fan. A tower fan has a tall, thin silhouette that really helps to circulate the air, thereby making the room cooler and less stuffy. Even if you have an air conditioner but want to run it less to cut down on your electric bill, a tower fan will help circulate that cool air so you can cut down on your AC running time.

Whether you’ll have the fan in your bedroom at night when you sleep, or in the living room while you watch TV, make sure you get a fan that doesn’t have a noisy motor. And always take a look at the size of the room that you want to keep cool. This will help you figure out how powerful a fan you need. With a quick look at some of our top recommendations below, you can choose the fan that best suits your situation and personal needs.

1. Lasko Portable Electric 42″ Tower Fan

SPECS:

• _{Sizes: 43” x 13” x 13”}
• _{Weight: 12 pounds}

Best Quiet Fan

This fan creates a powerful breeze but even with the setting on high you can still hear the TV. It’s as quiet as a whisper and standing just 42” tall with a small 13” x 13” footprint, the sleek, vertical design just melts into the background. It’s a great choice for your bedroom because it has nighttime controls that automatically dim the display and sets the fan on high for an hour, then medium for an hour, and then stays on low until you interact with the fan again. Most likely you won’t need to, because you’ll be sleeping like a baby. The fan is also easy to assemble and operate.  

It has a built-in handle so you can easily transport it from room to room. It has an energy efficient auto shut off timer that you can program from half an hour to seven and a half hours. This model also comes with a remote so you will never have to stop what you are doing to get up and fix the fan. There is an oscillation option if you choose to use it. This fan is backed by a one year limited warranty.

Small footprint One year limited warranty Special night time controls Auto shut off time Remote included Oscillation option Super quiet even on high Highly rated by verified customers	Heavy

2. TaoTronics Tower Fan

SPECS:

• _{Size: 35 x 12 x 12 inches}
• _{Weight: 6.3 pounds}

Best for Bedroom

We are crazy for the TaoTronics Tower fan, especially for your bedroom. The fan comes with three choices of wind modes: normal, natural and sleep mode. This way you can decide which is the most organic for you at bedtime. There are actually nine cooling options you can program into your fan. In addition to the regular speed fans, it has a special designated sleep setting that adjusts the airflow and turns off the LED lights to make your bedroom dark for sleeping.  

The sleep mode automatically increases and decreases the fan speed throughout the night, integrating in alternative swings providing a very comfortable, natural cooling process at night. Plus, the fan’s air spans out 65 degrees of full coverage. You can also use the active auto mode that sets the tower fan to function at an ambient temperature of 79 degrees, and it shuts off when the temperature reaches 75 degrees. One last thing we love about this fan is its blade-less design, making it a safe choice for families with children or pets.

Pros	Cons
Bladeless design Auto ambient temperature mode 65 degrees of coverage Great sleep setting with auto shut off of LED lights Three choices of wind modes Nine programmable cooling choices Portable	Customer service complaints

SPECS:

• _{Sizes: 9.61 x 9.61 x 27.95 inches}

Best Bargain

If you don’t need a fan to cool down a large space at home, we absolutely recommend the Pelonis Oscillating Tower Fan. Its oscillation covers 60 degrees of your room, covering a wide area to cool.

You can also set it to auto turn off from one to eight hours.

Pros	Cons

Last Words

Unlike air conditioners, fans don’t generate their own cold air. Instead, they take whatever air is nearby and create re-circulated airflow throughout the room. Don’t get caught in a trap of gadgets if that isn’t what you need. Think about the main purpose for your tower fan, and make sure it has all of the attributes you’re looking for!
