DEGREE OSCILLATION: The PureMate 43 Inch tower fan Oscillation feature provides 70-degrees of automatic rotation providing a widespread breeze. Total weight of this model is around 4.3kg and it has a 1.8-metre cable. A two-year warranty is included for buyers confidence. Conclusion Our fan tests start with a battery of airflow tests, where we measure the speed of the air pushed through the fan at a distance of 1m with an anemometer. We test at maximum and minimum fan speed settings, plus a medium setting in-between. We also measure sound levels at these settings, along with power consumption at the highest and lowest. From there, we use the fan in a selection of different rooms to gauge how effectively they work in different situations and layouts. We also try out any special modes and get to grips with both the built-in controls and the remote control, if supplied. What controls and features should you look for? On the highest setting, we were able to feel a breeze from 20 feet away. The 70-degree oscillation makes for a wide range of airflow, and the bladeless design means it’s free of fast-spinning blades, giving those with kids or pets peace of mind. Plus, it’s easier to keep clean than fans with blades or grilles, which tend to collect dust and debris. Additional features include a magnetized remote control that can be stored on the fan itself, a sleep timer, and an automatic shut-off in the case that it’s tipped over. This tower fan also has a wide range of powerful settings which can cool a room down in a matter of minutes.

Fan performance: This ridiculously powerful fan produces fast-moving air closeup, and a genuine breeze throughout a room. In fact, it could do with a slower setting. Negatives of this PureMate tower fan have to be that it is programmed to always be on a medium setting and the controls can be uncomfortable to keep changing, the temperature light of the device is further reported to be very bright and hard to switch off.

High-end Tower Fan: Unlike traditional tower fans on market, MYCARBON tower fan has 2 air outlets, both can automatically rotate horizontally by 90°, and the upper air outlet can be manually rotated 360°! It's more flexible and practical! Thanks to the wind wheel with several vertical blades, which rotate on an axis, MYCARBON tower fan diffuses a vertical airflow that gently sweeps your entire room, providing fresh air from head to toe and it’s quiet too! Top features of this tower fan are its three wind speeds and four operation modes, the model also has a timer function going up to 8 hours and low noise of only 32dB when used on its lowest setting. An infrared remote control is also included and the model has a control panel with touch buttons. An oscillating tower fan in general often comes with a wide varying angle of oscillation, this could be from an 80-degree oscillation to a 350-degree oscillation depending on your model.

The measure of how much air a fan can move each minute is known as cubic feet per minute (CFM). Fans with a higher CFM will have more cooling power and vice versa. Because they are designed with space-saving in mind, tower fans are generally less powerful than pedestal or floor fans. Most tower fans feature a number of different speed settings, ranging from a gentle breeze to a powerful cool. A tower fan's cooling power doesn't just rely on its size—its array of speed settings makes a major difference. Most often, a wider range of speeds makes for a more versatile machine. You can use a tower fan simply to create white noise, add a gentle breeze, or noticeably cool an entire room. Our best for large rooms option, the Dyson Pure Cool Purifying Fan has 10 settings, and even functions as an air purifier. A fan with fewer speeds might not provide you with the same options but offers simple air circulation, like the Lasko Wind Curve Tower Fan, which has three settings. The Pro Breeze 40-inch Tower Fan is one of the most sizeable models on the market, and with an AC motor rated at a powerful 45 watts, it promises to shift plenty of air. Indeed, our tests confirmed exactly this, but it does so at the cost of noise and pretty basic functionality in comparison to other tower fans. Pro Breeze 40-inch Tower Fan – What you need to know

Key specs – Dimensions: 107 x 30 x 30cm; Weight: 5.7kg; Oscillation angle: 60˚; Cord length: 1.8m; Warranty: 2yr; Power: 45W This fan comes in three different color options, and features a sleek, unimposing design (the bladeless design makes it look particularly streamlined). The sound is only distinguishable on the highest settings, and even then, it was nowhere as loud as running the air conditioner. Although, considering the price, we wish it was made out of a sturdier material than plastic. Keep in mind too that you will need to regularly change the filter. But considering this doubles as an air purifier, it might be worth the splurge for those who suffer from allergies or asthma.

This hybrid model put off a natural breeze when running the fan (and really helped to circulate air throughout our homes) and warmed our living room nicely when running the heat. We were able to feel its airflow from six inches, six feet, and 20 feet away. The noise level was subtle, but still noticeable in a silent environment. The four fan speeds and three heat speeds (high heat with high fan speed, high heat with low fan speed, and low heat with low fan speed) mean you can get year-round use out of this multi-functional tower fan. We found it to oscillate about six inches from the center in each direction, for widespread airflow. The Pelonis 40" Oscillating provides great coverage at a more affordable cost. It's one of the few models in our test fleet with an oscillation greater than 65 degrees — delivering a full 90-degree spread instead. The range on this fan is also great; when it is on the most powerful settings, airflow can be detected from pretty far away. Features and settings we appreciated on this model were its timer that goes up to 15 hours, four different modes, and its quiet beep and lights that turn off after a short time. You can hardly hear anything when the fan is on low settings, which may be something to consider if you're a light sleeper who is disturbed by a lot of noise. Unfortunately, this prodigious movement of air comes with significant noise. One metre from the front we measured 46.2dB at low power, and 54.5dB at maximum. Even when sampled at a right angle, completely away from the airflow, we recorded 43.4dB at minimum and a maximum of 48.8dB. Negatives of the MYCARBON tower fan are its noise which is reported to be noticeable when used on its highest settings, some users have also said the power to not be strong enough with little air circulation.

In terms of design, the Pro Breeze oscillating tower fan is freestanding and measures 40-inches tall, it is also easy to assemble and comes with a one-year warranty. Conclusion While many tower fans pretty much look the same, what’s inside those tall sleek bodies varies greatly—some offer smart features, while others boast ample speed settings, and so on. Therefore, it makes sense to start your search by identifying the factors that are most important to you. Carl Prouty, tech expert at Abt Electronics, suggests you evaluate any model you’re eyeing by asking yourself the following questions: “Does it fit well into the room? Do the features match up with your needs? Does the cost fit your budget?” With those tips in mind, here’s everything else worth considering while shopping. Settings In addition to speed settings, some tower fans also have modes of operation for specific uses. For example, some tower fans come equipped with a Breeze mode, which alternates the fan speed to imitate the natural flow of wind. Another popular option is a Sleep mode, which looks different on every machine. In some models with this function, the fan will turn off after a specific interval of time, while others lower the noise of the fan and dim the display or noises.
