Pedestal fans

Most pedestal fans have an oscillating function; you can also adjust the height and angle of the fan manually.

Pedestal fans ventilate and cool the interior very effectively.

Larger fan blades generally provide better ventilation, but small fan blades create much less noise than its counterpart.

Box fans

The box fan’s blades and outer case are made of plastic, while its inner structure resembles a traditional electric fan.

What’s exceptional about the box fan is that its perforated cover can rotate fully, a complete 360-degree. It enables the fan to adjust the direction of the wind and ensure constant ventilation.

Box fans come in different shapes and sizes: portable fans, floor fans, wall fans and ceiling fans.

Some box fans with additional foldable panels can be install on windows as both a ventilator and a cooling fan.

Tower fans

Shaped like a skyscraper, the slim built of the cylindrical tower fan looks stylish and saves space.

But the tower fan is not without flaws. It can be quite noisy when operating, and dissembling the tower fan for cleaning is an arduous task.

Different from traditional fans, the tower fan propels air through the body column with a set of impeller blades stood vertically inside the shaft.

The tower fan’s air flow strength is gentler than the traditional fan’s.

The ventilation area of the tower fan is also smaller, which renders it a more suitable option for air-conditioned environments.

But the thing with technology is that it never stops progressing. On the market, now you can easily find slimmer, quieter versions of the tower fan called the Slim Tower.

Bladeless fans

It’s quite a marvel, the bladeless fan.

Looking at its long, empty oval eye, it might be baffling to feel that exceptionally strong air flow coming from a sheer nothingness.

Here’s the mechanism behind the bladeless fan: the turbines suck air into the base of the fan, the air is forced through the oval slit of the body, creating a strong flow of air.

The bladeless fan creates minimal noise when in operation, and has a steadier, stronger air flow than the tower fan. The angle of ventilation is also wide; that’s why the bladeless fan can serve as a substitute to the ordinary ventilating fan.
