Our top overall pick is the Dreo Pedestal Fan with Remote due to its broad range of settings and adjustments that make it easy to tailor the fan’s movements to your needs. Plus, it manages to do all that without making excessive noise. For those on a budget, the Hampton Bay 3 Speed Personal High Velocity Table Fanis also a great choice, but does la...
We tested a variety of fans — including different types — to assess how well they performed on key functions that are most important to users. First, we evaluated the overall design of each fan. This included considering its weight and bulk, its portability, its noise level, and features such as oscillation, tilt, and remote control. Then, we teste...
Type
“When selecting a fan, consider the size and location first,” Shaunfield recommends. For small areas, table fans are a great fit. These fans tend to be easily portable, and they usually have oscillation features to provide more coverage despite their size. Desk or personal fans are an even smaller type of fan that otherwise shares features with a table fan, but can be used on a flat surface without causing too much chaos if you have papers and light objects around. For more coverage or coolin...
Airflow
Airflow for most fans is measured in cubic feet per minute, or CFM. This unit of measurement denotes the volume of air (in cubic feet) that can be displaced or exchanged in one minute. Higher CFM means higher airflow, which Shaunfield explains typically corresponds with a stronger breeze and “creates a refreshing draft.” A larger CFM number isn’t always better, however, as a smaller office space doesn’t need as much airflow as a large workshop. Using a fan with a too-high CFM number in a smal...
Additional Features
When selecting a fan, you may also want to consider features like oscillation, height adjustment, the number of settings or modes, and how easy it is to move around. “Choose a fan that complements your style and includes essential features like a remote or an energy-efficient DC motor,” Shaunfield recommends. Just note that fans that have multiple features may end up costing more than those that have less settings or lack a remote.

However, the price point is higher than we’d like for a small desk fan without any additional features.

What is the difference between a fan and an air circulator?
Air circulators are another option that many people may consider for cooling down a room. Essentially, an air circulator is an appliance designed to move air consistently and evenly throughout a room. A traditional fan, in contrast, typically focuses its air movement in one direction (wherever it is pointed), although oscillation features can provide more true circulation. If you’re looking for direct cooling in one area, a fan pointed that direction should do just fine, but an air circulator...
Are more expensive fans worth it?
“Fan prices vary based on brand, size, and additional features desired by buyers,” Shaunfield says, noting that this wide variety of preferences is why many retailers offer a range of fans with different features and price points. A more expensive fan is only “worth it” if that extra cost is due to a particular feature that you feel strongly about. However, if you have a large space, you may need to opt for a fan that has a little more power — which may be a little pricier than smaller device...
What types of fans are the most cooling?
“Ceiling fansare considered the most efficient for cooling as they circulate air throughout a room,” says Shaunfield. “Floor fans are known for immediate cooling in specific areas, and have gained popularity due to their affordability and portability.” When trying to predict how well a certain fan will cool your room, consider the size of the area, as well as the CFM and directional movements,
