About this deal

You can choose the light to be white, green, purple or blue. Powerful and stylish - what's not to like? Timers are great for when you want to turn a fan on before going to bed, or before leaving your house. A turn-off timer will allow you to set a specific time for when your fan will turn off, whereas a turn-on timer will allow you to pre-program the time that your fan turns on - this can be great for when you want your house to be nice and cool when you return from work or from a grocery run. How much do the best tower fans cost? 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 CANADIAN TIRE® and the CANADIAN TIRE Triangle Design are registered trade-marks of Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited.

The fan itself performed decently, but it was far from the most powerful fan we tested. Still, it will do a good job of circulating air in a small to medium-sized room. Holmes has good support options if you have problems or questions and the three-year warranty is one of the best we saw. Silentnight is known for its good quality products and this item has some easy-to-use functions including a built-in standby timer mode, remote control, and three different fan modes. To circulate and cool the air, the fan features 70 percent oscillation in addition to 10 speeds, although during testing we couldn't really notice it was on until the sixth setting. At the highest setting, the fan was felt as much as 20 feet away and was still relatively quiet—you wouldn't have to yell over it to have a conversation or turn up the volume of the television. In fact, even after testing it at home, we found the sound to be only really noticeable at the highest setting, and nowhere near as loud as our AC unit or larger box fan. It's best to refer to the individual fan's user instructions but in general, you can remove dust and debris from a tower fan's blades using a can of compressed air. Worried about it not cooling your entire room? It has a 60-degree oscillation angle, so it'll be pretty effective at reaching most of a large room.The built-in remote control storage is also a nice space-saving feature. If you need to store or move the fan, it features a built-in carry handle, although we found it to be a bit bulky to be truly portable. Overall, we think this fan is more of a set-it-in-one-spot-and-enjoy option. Also, if the wood-paneled look isn't the right fit for your decor, this fan is also available in silver and grey.

If you need a fan for an office or another smaller area, the Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan is a great option, with a wood-paneled look to help it blend into any room. We noticed during lab testing that the fan feels powerful up to 10 feet away, although it’s hard to notice an airflow at around 20 feet—but this shouldn’t be an issue in small to medium-sized rooms. Plus, it's also a good choice to use while sleeping. Relatively quiet at its highest setting, it has a 7.5-hour timer and sleep mode that dims the LED display while gradually reducing the fan’s speed. While smart features certainly aren’t essential to the operation of a tower fan, they can make using the device a more seamless experience. With most Wi-Fi-enabled fans, you’re able to control the device using an app on your smartphone, which can come in handy if you’re sitting across the room and want to adjust the fan’s airflow. It’s true that most tower fans include a remote control that can perform these functions just as well, but using the app means that you don’t have to keep the remote by your side as you go about your daily tasks. Key specs – Dimensions: 54 x 15 x 14cm; Weight: 2.4kg; Oscillation angle: 90˚; Cord length: 1.6m; Warranty: 2yr; Power: 18W We continue to be impressed with this fan's design after six months of testing and continue to think it's well worth the splurge of you an air purifier and fan combination, with a small footprint. We've used it in a bedroom and found that both the noise and the fan itself it barely noticeable, blending into the space well. While we have found that this fan works well for our use, we have continued to note that this is not the most powerful tower fan that we've tested, and there are more powerful options out there, especially if you are just looking for a basic fan to cool your space on hot days. It also has a timer that you can set for one to 8 hours, so the fan will shut off automatically, helping you save energy at night. You can control most of the fan’s features using the remote, but the remote took some getting used to. The symbols are specific to the unit and not universal. Since we were working with many remotes during testing we had to relearn what the symbols meant each time.It has an attractive slimlin design too, so it won't take up too much time or throw off a modern or minimalistic looking home. While tower fans are characteristically tall and sleek, they come in all different sizes. Erica Puisis Size The Seville Classic UltraSlimline has a lot of power, and more features than most tower fans in its price point – like a wide oscillation range of 95 degrees, which helps it circulate air efficiently. You can also conserve energy with timer settings that can shut off the unit automatically at intervals between 30 minutes and 7.5 hours.

Your fan model might also include a cleaning brush, which you can use to scrub dust and lint out of intake grills. (A small, clean toothbrush can get the job done in a pinch.) A can of compressed air helps clear out debris from the fan's blades and the rest of its interior. The best news is that the QuietSet name isn’t just marketing hype: the HY245E is noticeably quieter than most conventional tower fans, even at its higher settings, with a night mode you might actually sleep through. Other fans are bigger and put out more air over a wider space, but this one delivers more than enough cooling for the average living room during the day and works better in the bedroom at night. And if the price is a little higher, it’s well worth paying.Bigger pedestal fans might offer a bit more power, but they also bring with them noise and unwieldy movement, which can become annoying if you're using them on a regular basis. It also has a remote control, so you can easily change the settings from your bed, your desk, or the sofa. For cooling and circulating the air in large rooms, we recommend the Lask FH500 Fan and Space Heater Combo Tower. Tall enough to reach over a bed, it has a powerful airflow that we felt as much as 20 feet away while testing. And even at its highest setting, it functions as white noise and is not disruptive. It's so quiet in comparison to other tower fans we've used, ideal for using as you sleep on ridiculously hot days (we're British so anything above 20 is boiling).

It’s easy to use, has a timer and a great natural breeze setting, and is reasonably powerful by compact tower fan standards; we measured the maximum airflow at 2.2m/sec. It’s also light enough to lug around everywhere, which is handy in a heatwave. Throw in low energy consumption, even at higher speeds, and this is the best of the compact options. We are big fans of this fan. We have used it almost continuously at home for over six months, primarily in the fan mode. Although it is very tall, we have never noted it falling over, even while being used in a small room, or a busy open-concept living room with dogs and kids running through. It simply wobbles and then stops. Although it is not the best option as a portable fan, it's easy to carry at the top when needed, thanks to the build in groove for your hand. It's very powerful in a small space (almost too powerful if very close to you), but comes in handy when needed. We continue to appreciate that it's quiet enough to leave on all day, circulates the air, and cools even larger spaces. We will note that we've used the heater function in the winter and it does work great and keeps small spaces feeling cozy. However, just the bottom of the unit is actually the heater, so it feels a bit bulky when only used to heat the space. It's a great combination heater option though, especially if want to leave it out year-round and need the occasional heat. This isn’t the perfect fan for sleepers, as even on its lowest setting it’s far from silent, but it’s fine for cooling down a small living room or taking some heat out of the bedroom before sleep. Looking for maximum cooling for a minimal cost? The Igenix is pretty hard to beat. This tower fan also promises to evenly distribute air throughout a room — something which many other elegantly structured fans can't offer.The Holmes HT38RB-U has some good features that give it extra functionality. This tower fan has the second-longest warranty of any fan we tested. The Dyson Pure Cool Tower Fan (TP04) is one of the best tower fans you can buy, period. It features Dyson’s innovative bladeless fan technology, making it safer for homes with children and pets. Plus, it combines turbocharger and jet engine science with the firm’s Air Multiplier tech to quietly but powerfully deliver 77 gallons per second of smooth, cooling airflow when you most need it.
