How do you cool down inside when the heat is on outside? For those who shiver at the thought of the artificially cool air that an AC blasts and the higher electricity bill it racks up, house fans lower the sizzle with natural circulation and a manageable price tag. They also don’t require the installation and repair expertise of pricey technicians. And since they’re usually portable enough for easy transport, you can use one for multiple rooms. So where do you begin?
Go ahead and ditch that window AC unit. This quiet fan lets out a strong blast, injecting stuffy, too-warm days and nights with a cool breeze. Lasko’s most popular fan does an even better job of cooling large spaces and circulating the air in any room. A handy remote control means you won’t have to leave the comfort of your couch or bed to change the settings, and for insomniacs and light sleepers, its soothing white noise won’t keep you up all night.
Instead of blowing you away, Vornado’s powerful flagship fan cools and moves air like a ceiling fan, but on your floor. Rather than merely pushing out wind in one direction, it circulates the cooler air near the floor with the warmer air that hovers at the ceiling to create a fresher, cooler feel in whatever room it’s in. The effect is a balanced breeze rather than gale-force gusts. It has four settings instead of the standard three, allowing more precise user control.
Don’t worry about the working parts—putting this fan together is a breeze. And you can’t get more effective cooling for fewer dollars. It has a sleek design and an adjustable pedestal that allows for versatile use. The adjustable head offers more range of cooling motion, and best of all, the fan requires no nuts and bolts to put together. A few twists and turns, and it’s ready to cool.
