Product Information

Introducing the new level of quiet! This fan is up to 25% quieter with 5 cooling settings from whisper quiet up to turbo performance. A second benefit of them is that they have multiple fan modes. There are usually three settings of ‘Low’, ‘Medium’ or ‘High’, which changes the speed of the fan. You have control over the temperature in the room, so it can match your air-cooling requirements. They are very affordable and cost-effective. To run one can cost as little as 26p for one day of usage. QuietSet controls allow you to choose from 5 speeds of quiet including a sleep mode for ultra quiet operation. Decide whether you’d also like to be able to change the fan’s settings with a remote control. This is an attractive feature for those looking to operate the fan from a bed or an office chair. Remotes also sometimes come with the ability to program an automatic shut-off time of between 1 and 4 hours. Some even come equipped with an added sleep mode on their remotes. A benefit of Pedestal Fans is that they can be easily moved and are fully portable. If you need cooling in your home office or living room during the day, you can easily move the fan into the bedroom of an evening. Pedestal fans are a popular choice for sleep aids thanks to their excellent airflow and low operating volumes.

Keep an eye on the fan’s cord and plug. Cease using the fan if you notice the cord is frayed or there are any defects in the plug. The best standing fans are usually fairly quiet, but some can be almost inaudible depending on the setting. A cheap pedestal fan might run at 55 to 60 decibels, which is similar to normal conversation. Not a problem in an office perhaps, but not what you want in a bedroom. High-quality models can be as low as 40 decibels — which is often called ‘whisper quiet’ — and some tower fans are even quieter. Timer Small but useful extras might include things like ambient temperature control — which will automatically turn on and off the fan when the room reaches a certain heat — and auto-dimming control panels that turn off after a set time. It’s a nice feature if the fan is used in a bedroom. Bladeless fans offer additional safety for children, with no spinning blades to trap small fingers. An ETL listing means the device has been independently tested and found to meet relevant national standards of manufacture and safety. WarrantyThe Honeywell Comfort Control 16 in. Double Blade Pedestal Stand Fan delivers powerful cooling that's suitable for whole room use. This is achieved via a double blade design that allows for optimal efficiency and maximum air flow (15% more air volume when compared to traditional fans). This whole room fan comes equipped with an LED control panel that will allow owners to seamlessly select between three speed settings and three types of air flow. Customize your cooling experience manually (or with the included remote control) with three types of air flow that include:

Look at the settings to make sure you get the features you desire. It’s common for pedestal fans to come with three speed settings (slow, medium and fast), however, you can get a model with as many as five speeds. When examining the control panel, you’ll also want to look for an energy-savings mode or LED display lights to make the buttons easier to read. With a wide range of options like oscillating heads, remote control and timers, modern standing fans have a wealth of useful features and offer much more than just efficient cooling.

Standing fans can broadly be divided into two types: pedestal fans, which are usually tall with a large, rotary fan head; and tower fans, which are a comparatively shorter and more slender device. In general, pedestal fans are more powerful. 16- or 18-inch diameter blades can create tremendous air flow that few tower fans can match. However, tower fans are more compact, often quieter and frequently have a wider range of functions which add convenience. It’s impossible to say that one type is better than the other — each model has to be looked at in greater detail. What to consider before buying a standing fan Speed settings
