Bedrooms and other smaller rooms may require only an 18-inch fan that is quieter and takes up less space than a more powerful model. Bigger spaces, such as a garage or warehouse, may require a larger, more powerful fan that is capable of moving a lot of air. The products listed here were selected according to the above considerations to narrow the field to some of the best pedestal fans on the market. Any of these fans will provide better circulation and a cooler feel to a living space or garage.
There may be a night mode, which runs the fan at a quiet speed for 6 hours before shutting off, and a turbo mode, which runs at high speed for maximum airflow and cooling power. The user can set these modes on a control console on the fan or, if included, via a remote from across the room. This Vornado fan did not require us to do much assembling other than putting its head onto its rod and curved U-shaped base. It doesn’t come with a remote control, and it doesn’t feature a control panel. It simply has a three-speed dial on the back of the unit’s circular head, much like the Lasko 16-Inch Oscillating 2521 standing fan. The whole look of this Vornado Whole Room 783 reminded us of the Vornado Energy Smart 533DC circulator fan, as its head is basically the same, just larger, and it sits on a long metal pole and base.
You can wait for the blades to air dry or dry them with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. Check to see whether you need any tools to put the pedestal fan together. Some models require Lasko Box Fan tools for assembly, while others don’t. Pedestal fans may also have telescopic poles that allow the user to adjust the head to different heights to target specific parts of a room.
