Electriq 24" High velocity portable fan - Black

Product Information

Tower fans are a better choice for bedrooms or living rooms, since they don’t take up much room on the floor but reach a larger area than a desk fan would. The Dyson makes my living room feel degrees cooler in an instant by projecting over 290 litres of air a second. I can really feel the difference compared with less powerful devices.

Finally, floor fans, which tend to be larger and so can cool a larger room - you might find them in gyms or conference centres. Made from durable aluminum and powder coated steel construction, rust-resistant grille. Premium Totally Enclosed Air Over (TEAO) ball bearing motor. Extra-long 6.6 FT SJT power cord. 1.3 AMPS, 1100 RPM, 7700 CFM, 120V, 170 Watts, 60 Hz, 1/5 HP. Meets OSHA and UL507 standards, UL Safety listed. 1 Year Limited Warranty.

Where the data is available, look for a fan with a higher airflow than 150m³ per hour as a measure of its cooling power. Most of the fans we recommend are three to ten times more powerful than that on their highest settings. Energy efficiency - AC require a significant amount of electricity to run, especially in hot climates and larger houses. Fans consume much less energy.

Pedestal fans, which consist of a circular bladed unit on top of a stand, tend to be more powerful than tower fans. Some, such as the Duux above, can be converted between a desk and pedestal fan by removing the stand. Yes, desk fans are generally the cheapest and lowest-powered but are usually the best choice at close range. (There are also handheld fans, handy in a sweltering tube train, but so low-powered that we don’t review them here.) It’s no exaggeration to say that this is the king of pedestal fans. The first thing I notice (after how easy it is to assemble) is that it has both horizontal and vertical oscillation which, coupled with a powerful airflow of 1,653m³ph gives it unrivalled room-cooling capabilities. However it feels natural, like a gentle breeze.Floor fans are similar to pedestal fans but without the adjustable stand. Simply place them on the floor for powerful airflow at a lower height. Floor fans are often used in garages, workshops, or larger areas that require heavy-duty cooling. They are larger and more robust compared to desk, pedestal or tower fans. Air delivery with 3 speed settings 7700/6600/5850 CFM. With a heavy duty thermally protected direct drive AC totally enclosed ball bearing motor, protects the motor from workshop debris and all other dust. Full 180 degrees vertical tilting angle. 69 Decibels maximum. Fans are used for circulating air, this allows your sweat to evaporate faster and leaves you feeling cooler. Although an electric fan doesn't technically cool the air, you'll feel cooler as a result! Finally, if we’re honest, not many fans look nice. If you’re buying one for your home, consider biting the bullet price-wise and investing in a futuristic, bladeless Dyson or an unobtrusive tower fan.

There are also air coolers, which use water evaporation to chill the air a bit, but we cover those in a separate feature. What is the quietest fan for sleeping? Secondly, look for a quiet fan: generally they range between 20dB at low fan speeds to 70dB at high speed. 20dB is about the same as a human whisper, 70dB is loud enough to hear over the chatter in an office.It’s also very quiet on its lowest settings, with a whispery minimum noise level of 20db and a maximum of 60db (roughly equivalent to the noise from a dishwasher). It has an ‘eco’ mode that adjusts the speed of the fan based on the temperature of the room, a ‘natural’ mode that replicates a breeze, plus a sleep timer, night light and a handy magnetic remote. Desk fans are compact and portable, designed to be placed on a desk or bedside table. Desk fans are great for personal cooling in small spaces, providing a direct and focused breeze. They are also relatively quiet and energy-efficient. A note on availability: during warm temperatures, many of the fans we recommend sell out. Where possible, we will recommend alternative retailers or similar fans. As soon as the temperature breaches 20 degrees in the UK, everyone goes looking for the best fan to cool their bedroom or workspace. Compared to air conditioning, electric fans are cheaper, smaller, lighter, more energy efficient (most costing around 1p an hour to run) and have an instant cooling effect on sweaty skin.
