Next, the remote control is powered by a CR2025, which is not included, and the only way to open the remote to install the battery is by unscrewing a tiny screw that only a specialty Philips-head screwdriver could do. (Think one of those screwdrivers in an eyeglass repair kit.)

Some of the fans feature unique modes that they use for differentiation, such as Seville’s “Eco” mode, Honeywell’s eight fan speed settings, and Brookstone’s “Breeze” mode which attempts to imitate a relaxing wind pattern. We think the above metrics are by far the most important things when considering a tower fan, but they aren’t the only ones. Many of the tower fans have other characteristics that might be attractive to you.To make sure your delivery goes as smoothly as possible, we need to know about any potential access or parking restrictions, which may cause problems. Please consider all the following factors: Parking Restrictions At the highest speed, we could feel air pushed through from 12′ away, but it was more of a slight breeze. We measured mph, and it registered a respectable 8.9 mph, but only at the bottom of the grill. From 2′ away, mph decreased dramatically to 4.2. In all cases, the air flow diminished at the top of the 24″ tall grill, so you’re really only getting air from the lower two-thirds of the grill. Overall, the Seville crushed the competition in waist-height cooling power, generating wind speeds of 8.2 MPH — which even beat out the Dyson, a unit that’s five times as expensive.

The more settings, the greater control you’ll have over the fan’s air flow. Look for a minimum of three – any more and our tester found the differences between them negligible. ModesNot all fans do this, but some, including every Dyson and the SmartAir, also help to clean the air they're distributing. Some have filters that trap pollutants, while the Dimplex Ion Fresh Cooling Tower Fan freshens air around it by emitting neutralising ions. Do fans use a lot of electricity?

Will our driver team have any difficulty parking outside your property? Are there yellow lines or other parking restrictions in effect? Steps or Stairs These costs will obviously add up if you run your fan for hours on end. But if you’re after one for occasional use, none of the models on our list should add much to your energy bill.

The Vornado is sleek and attractive with its smart chrome adornment that also serves as a carrying handle. Its base sits flat on the ground and has a small footprint, so the Vornado can be unobtrusive in any size room.
