20 Best Fan For Cooling Room (2023 Updated)

Each year another heatwave and another Dyson fan purchase. Over the last few years I have bought three AM06 desk fans. Tired of carrying them from room to room last year I went to buy a fourth but found the circular design AM06 had been discontinued.

Now only the taller and (in my opinion) rather odd looking AM07 was available to kind of replace it, but not really. Frustrated and not wanting to buy a product that was considerably more expensive and in my opinion less attractive and less practical due to its height I made do with the 3 fans I already had.

This year I gave in to the heat and bought the AM07. It arrived quickly and was exactly as I expected. Taller more imposing in the room, aesthetically displeasing and in terms of function barely perceptibly more powerful than the AM06.

I’m trying to understand why the AM06 has been discontinued along with all circular models and I can only imaging that it has been calculated that perhaps a combination of the less efficient packaging size and lower retail price made it less profitable.

Maybe also it was considered that if it was no longer available customers would just buy the larger more expensive models. Dyson products are in my opinion a bit overpriced for their choice of construction materials and build quality.

However their unique functional design and engineering aspects make them the best in category on a number of counts. For this reason I have just knowingly bought a fan that I didn’t really want but I had no better option from Dyson or other manufacturers.

I am proof that in discontinuing the AM06 they can still make a sale, but I certainly won’t be buying another one and if the 06 was still available I’d probably buy one for every room. Therefore my review for the AM07 as the best fan that Dyson offer to full fill the needs of someone wanting an AM06 I give it 3 stars as it not great value for money, its too tall and its a bit funny lookin.

If you want an AM07 and like the look of it and are familiar with Dyson products then I’m sure you will be content with one.

I see a lot of bad reviews on here, which makes 0 sense to anyone who has common sense. This is a fan And it does what a fan should. Blows air at a speed enough to create a cooling sensation, a fan cannot possibly alter the temperature of the air, just because the price is high does mean this product can’t defy physics, most of the bad reviews are from people who don’t understand how the technology behind a fan works, so don’t acknowledge most reviews when it comes to this fan, or most fans around this price point.

So what exactly justifies the high price point? Aesthetics, you’re paying for a modern looking sleek design, that looks great in any household, most tower fans I have seen are ugly. An easy to clean fan, a fan that doesn’t accumulate dust and blow dust at you causing irritation to allergies, and or irritation to your eyes.

however this dust collect dust, just not nearly as much, very low maintenance. You pay for a sustainable fan, that comes with a 2 year guarantee, other fans tend to make irritating noises and or stop working after a while, longevity plays a part in the price point.

Whether this fan is affordable or too expensive is subjective. If you have the money spare and are not spending 50% of your bank balance on a fan, this is affordable, however still top of the range; if you don’t have the spare cash this will be too expensive.

Dont buy top of the range items If your bank balance can’t justify the price. Personal opinion on this item, this is almost silent on speed 1, the noise escalates significantly each time you increase the level <5 are good for noise, higher it becomes pretty loud, nothing abnormal for a tower fan.

The fans performance is great, however that depends on your expectations when paying this price for a fan. The LED that shows the speed of airflow does act like a nightlight, I however prefer this and don’t think its an issue, but if darkness is your thing at night, buy an eye mask, or cover the LED.

assembly of the desk is extremely easy, comes in 3 parts, click them in place, reverse these steps to clean the fan inside.

So I had a tower fan already, and did a side-by-side when I got this one. I can definitively say they both produce the same volume of noise at similar settings (I’d hate to meet the louder version before this one), though the pitch of that noise is higher now relative to the one it’s replacing, if that detail matters.

I can also say that compared to the one it’s replacing, the volume of air that’s being moved around is also identical. But what’s really different, beyond having more speed settings to fine-tune, or a timer that’s in smaller increments, is that the air moves out in more of a fan-shape rather than something like a strict slice of moving air that has to be positioned just so or you’ll miss it.

It also oscillates twice as fast. Honestly worth it for the upgrades, as long as it’s on a good sale. Stuck mine on a three-wheel dolly so I can move it around on my laminate floor.

Pros: Nothing, a huge disappointment. Ironicallythe table fan they’ve now discontinued wasmore powerful & quieter than this very expensive fan. To end on a positive note – Dyson stuff isnt all bad though – they’re vacuums are totally fantastic & worth the high price! Cons: What you want in a fan is for it to be quiet enough to sleep with & be powerful enough to create big amounts of seriously cold air.

But this Dysin one is extrememly noisy,will keep you awake & has a frustratingly low amount of barely cold air coming out of it. You’ll get far better & quieter cooling from a typical pedestal fan that costs a fraction of the price.

Extremely disappointed – & puzzled why they couldnt produce a quiet & powerful fan!.

I was lucky enough to buy this one week before the big heat wave of 2022. Even on the lowest setting which is virtually silent, it creates a beautifully gentle movement of air in the room which replicates a natural breeze.

At higher settings the air movement becomes stronger and really does cover the whole room when it oscillate but it doesn’t “pummel” you as it goes round in the same way a traditional Fan would it just wafts the whole room.

Needless to say when my dogs come in from a walk the first thing they do is to go and sit in the middle of the room waiting for me to switch on the Dyson fan. Both myself and the dogs are absolutely over the moon and would 100% recommend this to anyone.

Can’t wait to buy another one as I keep carrying this through to the Bedroom because it is so lovely to leave on all night and it just keeps everything so fresh.

I did not purchase this fan from QVC. I purchased it 4 Years ago from another source. BUT. if you are looking for a Reliable Fan THIS is it !!! I have it running usually 24 hours a day (in the summer and late spring) in my livingroom.

it blows air (on the Medium setting) throughout the house – even into the Den and Kitchen. I purchased Another one later in 2018 and have it on the screened in back porch. It gets damp out there when it rains – but my LASKO Wind Machine still works like New !! I love it SO Much that I purchased a Third one last year to have a Spare “Just In Case” something happened.

It has been knocked over (I have 3 large German Shepherd Dogs) I just stand it back up and it keeps going. It is Quiet – f I could I would give it TEN STARS !!! This Fan is FANTASTIC and for the Price ?? I seriously do NOT think you will find a Better Fan !!! Still working like NEW after 4 years !!!.

This fan is excellent! I am purchasing a second one for my living room. The design is superb. The easy tilting advantage of this fan makes it so versatile. The Windmachine should honestly win awards for the power of the air circulation to the ease of adjusting the direction and angle of the air flow.

It is also very light weight! I used to carry it up and downstairs depending where I was. But I’ve decoded to purchase a second one. No ther fan compares to this one. I could not recommend it more highly.

I have spent years trying to find a fan that I love. I have finally found it in this One!!! It is by far the best fan ever. Unlike many people I like to hear the fan noise to sleep and to drown out other noise for my dog.

This fan has a great sound. Powerful but not annoying. I was amazed at the cooling it put off. I didn’t even buy it for that but it has so much power and a great cooling effect. It is lightweight but big.

But so easy to move around. I hope it lasts forever, but for the price, I will still only buy this fan from now on. Also, I bought the white and gray and it is nice looking.

I’ll be honest, I bought this fan not because of the brand or reviews- I chose it for it’s look alone. I just received it today and I’m very happy with the look and feel. It’s heavy duty, feels like 10lbs easily and the paint and chrome are gorgeous.

That being said- the fan blade is not metal, it’s black plastic. The fan blade diameter is about 7” so when purchasing this fan, you can’t expect it to put out the same amount of air that a fan with a larger fan blade like a box fan for example.

It moves air but, doesn’t blast my hair back or anything. I did read a lot of reviews on a bunch of different websites before purchasing. There are a good amount of bad reviews saying that the fan stops working but, the Vornado company honored their warranty and sent a new fan.

That is what made me just go ahead and buy the fan finally after looking at it for a couple of months. Obviously I hope my new fan doesn’t break but, at least the company has my back. I’m going to keep the box it came in and leave the receipts in their just in case anything happens.

Anyhoo, I bought this fan to circulate air in a small laundry room in the sweltering summer months and for when the power goes out and we need some air flow in the bedroom that won’t draw too much power from our generator.

So the medium size meets our needs so far and looks beautiful while doing it. I’m giving it 4 stars solely because I have a slight fear that there may be problems with it working in the future from all the reviews on the web.

I apologize. Anyway, great fan. Good solid build quality. Looks great and blends in with home decor. It has three fan speeds that cover a lot of range. The lowest setting is very quiet but still moves a lot of air around, while the highest setting is a turbine, though the noise is an even hum and not off-putting.

Totally recommend this fan.

I bought this almost more than a year ago in the white color. I love the performance and look. Its in my combined living room/kitchen with lots of air space to move. I’m able to reduce my AC setting and use this to keep us cool.

If you like retro for a design, this is great quality and performance. I’ll be buying other fans from Vornado.

Definitely silent and stealth as for the fan part. Remote is awesome. But the controls loudly beep every time you turn it on or off or change a setting. NOT SILENT with all the ridiculous beeping. How do I make it stop beeping so I can turn it on and off and change the speed without waking my whole family up? Great silent fan.

Loud controls ruin it.

I received this as a sample and wasn’t sure what to expect but WOW this is an awesome little fan! It required some assembly out of the box but I had it together in about 5 minutes with the help of a 3 year old and a screwdriver (easy peasy).

I usually prefer the sleek look of tower fans but this is a pretty neat/modern take on the old style standard table fan. It has 4 settings 1,2,turbo, and silent mode- you would not believe the amount of air circulated by this little fan! We have a fairly large master bedroom (15x15ft) and this fan blows our curtains from across the room in turbo mode! Even with the amount of force, in turbo mode it sounds like a ‘regular’ fan in low mode but Still has enough white noise sound that my husband likes to have when he sleeps.

In the “silent mode” this thing is whisper quiet! It doesn’t have a lot of force in this mode, but would be perfect for a light sleeper wanting air circulation or for your desk at work. You could easily have a phone conversation/in person conversation at your desk without having to talk over the fan noise but still keep cool.

Normally we use a tall tower fan AND a desk tower fan too circulate air in the summer and spring but we will only need this one little table fan from now on! We love it! When the weather warms up we will probably purchase the taller floor version to keep in our bedroom and move this one to our daughter’s room.

This fan is in our master bedroom on a bay windowsill. With 3 large dogs in the same room every night I like to keep the air moving and keep everyone extra comfortable. The fan runs very smoothly and really is quite.

I generally just use the lowest speed, but occasionally use the other 2 higher speeds and it has a slight operational noise (obviously nothing with a motor can be dead silent) but it is not loud at all.

Nothing that would keep me awake. & actually it helps if you like a white noise at night. I am glad I did not spend the hundreds of dollars on a Dyson fan – this one works great for me.

It’s very quiet I like that. If you are directly in front of it, it provides a gentle breeze. I did think it would be a lot more powerful. Also I can’t figure out how to turn on the display light, like when I’m sleeping it’s a little bright.

It did go off on its own a few times but I don’t know why but I had to do that. I emailed the company but nobody wrote me back. So I like this fan I don’t love it. I’d give it a solid B.

This fan works great and is compact enough to fit in my dorm room without being too bulky. I enjoy night mode as I don’t like seeing the light from the fan as I am trying to sleep.

I bought this product, for when somebody sleeps over in our spare room. They stated that it worked amazing and that there was cool air coming from the fan.

I bought one of these from the closest best buy, and I made it home and put it together only to find it was not spinning on the inside. I returned it but they didn’t have others so I got my refund, and then found a fan on Amazon.

After receiving another fan broken from presumably shipping, I had to open RMA with Amazon and send it back and got the Honeywell Quietset again. I received it, it worked, but it had a loud humming noise up till level 5 and then it had a loud slight thumping noise.

I gave up and got a refund for it as well, but was told to keep it rather than sending it back. So I contacted Honeywell to give them feedback on this fan as I found out someone else had the same issue with this fan, with the intention of just giving them feedback, nothing else.

They actually sent me a new fan! I thought wow they are really trying to be helpful, and true to their word I got it a few days later. So I put it together, and the base wouldn’t completely fit together as it should but I was able to get it on and turned on the unit, to be met with the same motor and horrible vibration noise that the other one did! So, disappointed, I admitted defeat and just decided to see if I can get used to the nerve-wracking noise.

I turned it on to sleep, went to bed, and was able to fall asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night with a weird light “thumpthumpthumpthump” noise and i found out it only does it when it’s set straight up and on the floor.

This noise was way too much and I can’t sleep with it on. So now, I have two new Honeywell tower fans, AND NEITHER OF THEM IS USEFUL. Needless to say, I’m gonna have a hard time trusting Honeywell products for a while.

Their customer service, however, has been top-notch. It takes a while to get an answer from them (I used email) but when you do, they sincerely try to help. I just wish this product was as good as their willingness to help was.

I Recommend steering clear from this one and getting the comparable Lasko which I hear is quiet in a mode or two, or the Dreo. You are taking quite the gamble if you purchase this fan. Either that, Or the Tower fan gods are against me, and I’m extremely unlucky when it comes to this fan.

I’m not willing to spend any more money to find out.

I am currently looking to buy my third Honeywell Tower Fan. The first one was purchased 5 years ago and I loved it so much I kept moving it from room to room! It was so good that I purchased another one 2 years ago for our “great room” (floor to ceiling windows).

They are both still working beautifully! The 5 year old fan (8 speed) is now in my bedroom. I turn it on every night and push the timer button to 4. It runs for 4 hours and then shuts off. The little bit of noise that it makes is just enough to dull any sounds outside my bedroom (tv on downstairs, neighbours laughing in their yards, etc.

) I sleep so much better with it running than without it. It’s like white noise. And if I happen to get a little cool through the night, I reach for the remote (with my eyes still closed) and push the button that I need.

There’s only three buttons so it’s easy to feel which one I need; 1st button turns it on or off; 2nd button alters the speed; and the last button is to stop/start oscillating. Soooo easy!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

IšverstiShow in original languageI just got this fan today (7/26/22)and put it together. PROS: It is quite quiet and it’s “shiny” in case you’re a crow. CONS: The assembly instructions are hidden in the Safety instructions booklet, where else would they be?? No battery was included for the remote (needs a button battery, NOT AA or AAA), the motor is not a DC motor so it will use more power than a DC motor pedestal fan, also you cannot control the oscillating mode with the remote, and it has only 4 speeds.

All these cons for over 3 times what I paid for the cheaper one mentioned below. I just got another brand pedestal fan delivered yesterday (7/25/22) from another online retailer and put it all together.

I paid less than 1/3 of the price of the Rowenta and my only gripe about it is that it is louder then the Rowenta, but I knew that when I bought it, With the cheaper fan I got easy to locate assembly instructions, it has a DC motor for less power consumption, it has 12 speeds, and I can turn on/off the oscillating feature from the remote.

No batteries were included but for the $80 less I paid for the cheaper fan, I don’t mind putting my own in it. A lot of things on the cheaper fan are surprisingly similar to the Rowenta. I would say the quality of the Rowenta is just barely better but certainly not worth 3X what I paid for the cheaper fan.

I would not consider it a “premium” purchase to match the premium price. OOPS! more $$$ doesn’t always guarantee you a better product, do your homework.

IšverstiShow in original languageWas loving this fan – so quiet and it’s like a gentle breeze hitting you instead of the “chop” you get from other fans: Simply awesome. Unfortunately this AM, it developed a serious rattle only a little over a month since I bought it.

Called Rowenta – they have NO troubleshooting help, only the option to return and replace which takes 3+ weeks. BBB will still take it back, but I wasn’t ready to go through that hassle. Pried off the outside cage (it takes some doing) and the fan blade had come loose and the piece that holds it was about to fall off.

When I put it together, I definitely made certain it was firmly attached. There’s no need to return at this point as I have fixed it – just be aware that a rattle may start and the fan blade “stop” will need to be tightened regularly.

Also, somewhat concerned that the motor seems to be getting fairly warm after an hour or two of use. Will keep an eye on that and update my review if it blows.

IšverstiShow in original languageHave had this fan for a month now and it has worked perfectly the whole time. Pros: -Silent Night mode is amazingly quiet but also only gives a gentle breeze (didn’t think I would ever use that mode since I like a strong gust, but I have used it a lot the time) -The noise level of the Turbo Boost mode is equal to the lower setting of some of those cheaper fans (loud but on the quieter side considering how strong it blows) -I have run it all day and all night (24 hours straight) on a mix of the low/medium setting during the day and the silent night mode at night.

The back of the fan near the motor barely got a tiny bit warm while on the medium setting and gave off basically no heat on low/silent night. -Heavy base so it won’t tip over easily if someone bumps into it.

-Haven’t really needed to use the other settings yet but based on how they work, I could imagine some people would really enjoy having them. (timer and energy saver) -lights on the buttons you have selected so you know what setting it’s on (they also dim after a few seconds so it doesn’t bother you while sleeping) -remote so you can control it from your couch/bed/office chair without having to get up.

Cons: -Each button press makes a beep, I don’t mind it but some people might not like it. -Remote control doesn’t come with a battery, so you have to buy that separately (the current battery that it takes as of buying it and writing this review is one(1) ‘CR2032’ {those small lithium coin shaped batteries}).

However the fan is usable without the remote, just get up and adjust it like any other fan (that’s how I have been doing it since I’m not yet used to having a fan with a remote). TL;DR (too long; didn’t read): Worth the price, especially for apartments with close neighbors.

Best fan I’ve bought (been through about 5 different fans before this one).

Solid windspeed, but does lack a bit in “spot size” due to the small aperature. but the small aperature is also part of the appeal of the fan. The fan is designed to be compact! The remote and the oscillation are useful, (although it would be nice if you could limit the angle), and I can personally barely perceive a noise level produced by level 8, (which is about 66% of it’s total, rated output power).

The only thing I found slightly misleading about the fan is the consumed wattage. Basically, yes the fan CAN operate at 2. 4 (W)atts (not taking into account the (in)efficiency of the AC/DC adapter), but that’s at the lowest setting (1 of 12).

The high end (which is level 12) i imagine consumes closer to 21 W, which is the high end of the printed, rated wattage. Still, to be fair that is a pretty small amount of consumed wattage for a fan.

One final aesthetic detail, is that the fan looks a little like the deathstar, and has the color scheme of a stormtrooper’s suit. Take that as you will.

I have to begin by saying that I was skeptical about these “bladeless” fans you see now. I was given the opportunity to try the pureFlow QT7 for my honest opinion and I am seriously amazed and OBSESSED with this fan!! First of all, I love that it has a remote control because my 3 sons like to play with buttons and when I see them near it I just turn it off! The variant fan speeds are superb! We live in Alabama where the weather is insane so I love that there are several levels of cool I can achieve.

The pureFlow QT7 is so incredibly powerful but QUIET!! It also oscillates so that’s a good thing because I feel like it helps cool the room better. But to end my raving review I will share my favorite part of the product.

you can adjust the fan all the way up to where it will hold a balloon in the air nonstop until you decide you’re done playing!! Overall, this fan is WELL WORTH the price. I can’t wait to try the other products this company has to offer!.

Recently purchased this fan. I’d say it is better used as a personal fan. The airflow distance is acceptable for a bladeless fan. You can feel the airflow across a 5 feet table when the fan is set at 12.

If you are 2-3 feet away, you need to set it to minimum 6-7. The reason i think it is better as a 1 person fan is that the air stream is very narrow. The air comes out from the center hole and does not seem to spread out.

I am not able to make 2 people sitting at each side of the same corner of a table happy when the fan is 2-3 feet away. You can always set the fan to oscillate, but then it will take a long time for the breeze to come back to you.

Some ads for the fan says it uses 2 watts no matter which setting you set it to. It is not true. The documents say wattage is between 2 to twenty something watts.

I have been using the Dyson AM06 Desk Fan in my my home for over x2 weeks now. There have been a few days where it has been useful. I am impressed by it’s noise function minimisation. I like the design.

I can see it very useful and functional in a small room 4m x 4m max. but not practical in a larger living area spaces as an alternative to a Air conditioner unit or a larger model Dyson Cooling fan. Mostly impressed by it’s design, pivot function, remote control function & noise minimisation considerations.

Exactly as expected. I read some reviews before purchasing of others complaining its not quiet enough however even on max this fan is as quiet as a fan can be and I couldnt be happier. The breeze has a constant cold stream compared to the choppy basic fans and seems to be a bit colder as well.

It is a bit bigger than I anticipated however but the lower half is small enough so alarm clocks and other essentials have plenty of space. Couldnt be happier.

Quiet fan. Easy to move from one room to the next. Will be easy to keep clean. Powerful enough for a large bedroom. Seems bigger than I expected, but it is a design statement, aswell as a working object.

I sometimes sleep with a fan on in my bedroom. Due to the recent heatwave this became more regular. The only downsides with this fan is the bright white LED digital display. It lights up the room. It would have been better to have this display with the option to switch it off.

It is also a bit expensive. In my opinion an ideal price point would be 100. For these two reasons I gave it 4 stars.

Although it doesnt pivot automatically, its not a bad choice. Dont expect it to be super quiet and dont expect a lot of room corner circulation. However it fulfils its purpose. I recommend it for medium rooms.

Not pivoting may not be ideal for a sleeping/bedroom fan.

I love these fans! I have 3 of them as I don’t like air conditioning. They are quiet and move the air more than a regular fan. If you turn it up toward the ceiling, it pulls the cooler air from the floor and circulates it all over the room.

They’re wonderful – well worth the price.

Great product. Really effective in cooling down the bedroom (approx 3m x 5m space) on the lowest setting meaning we can enjoy a good, cool nights sleep during summer.
