And we considered how many settings, modes, features, and timer options each model has, alongside the use of those settings. The controls on the fan’s base are awkwardly located partially behind the bottom of the blade cage. It chirps loudly with every setting change, and the light on the base never turns off — though it’s just one small red dot, which is less intrusive than many others. The remote caddy must be removed from the stand to put the head all the way down, and you can’t control the oscillation function with the remote, only with the traditional knob on top of the motor. Our unit also had a heavy, droopy head, which limits its angles of operation from straight ahead to slightly down.
We measured its highest power at 12.7 mph, which is significantly above average for this group. It tilts both up and slightly down and has quieter beeps that are less obnoxious than other models. 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 , 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. Though its sound is quieter than many others of similar power, the quality of noise this fan emits is, at every speed, rather similar to the whirring of a small airplane.
The safety feature of this fan is paramount as it has patented fused plug which means electric current cuts off when there is anomaly on the fan’s electronic parts, so there is less worry even when the fan is operating all day. The pedestal’s tilt where it connects to the fan is also a nice convenience that you just don’t see in a whole lot of fans on the market. This way, you can simply give the fan a flick of your wrist to change where it blows air, as opposed to messing around with the pedestal until you get the right air flow you want. As another convenient bonus, it also requires no assembly on your end, even when you order it online. I found that I stayed the coolest when I had the fan pointed at me as directly as possible.
