From her home gym to her home office, she knows what it takes to find the right fan for any space. She tests several types of fans and has been testing all types of home and outdoor gear for both OutdoorGearLab and TechGearLab since 2017. Rather than needing a set of tools, it requires twisting and clicking pieces into place. The instructions were straightforward and in 10 minutes I had the pedestal of the fan screwed into the base and the fan head assembled.

Featuring three speeds, this fan operates with easy-to-use pull-cord controls for convenience, and its metal housing and blades make it durable enough to withstand use in harsher environments. To test each pedestal fan’s power, we performed multiple airspeed tests on different settings and combined that with how well it translates into what you can feel across a room. We measured airflow, placing each fan across a large room and standing on the other side to gauge how easily we could feel each setting, both directly in front of and off to the sides of every fan. And we considered how many settings, modes, features, and timer options each model has, alongside the use of those settings. 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. It also lets out a chirping “beep” every time you plug it in or change a setting.
And, to assure complete independence, we buy all the products we test ourselves. Several fans have a single screw that can be removed to take off the grill and access the blades for a thorough, regular cleaning. We appreciate the usefulness of the Black & Decker remote caddy, but Lasko Box Fan find it annoying that it has to be removed in order to completely lower the fan. We tested every fan in multiple scenarios and rooms to help you find the right fit for your work or living space.

The Lasko S16612 with Thermostat offers surprisingly convenient functionality beyond its optional thermostat functionality — which we love. This fan emits a lower pitched hum that more easily fades into the background than many other models’ higher-pitched whirring noises. We almost couldn’t hear it amongst all the other noises in the house at its lowest speed. The remote is both simple and fully functional, controlling every aspect of this fan — including oscillation — with a beep-less push of a button.
Its top-measured speed hit just above average at 10.9 mph on High. If you are a light sleeper who plans to use a fan in your bedroom, finding a fan that is both quiet and effective is no easy feat. It has a silent mode, but even above silent mode, it can barely be heard. It has five speeds, and is designed to replicate the feeling of natural airflow. It also has 120-degree oscillation and automatically shuts off after 8 hours. One of the tallest fans we tested, this Pelonis model also offers fairly high power on all speeds – if you’re okay with its louder-than-average whirring.
