How to Purchase Standing Fan
Here is a list of the different factors that should be considered before purchasing a standing fan:
• Room Size
This factor is often overlooked when you are buying a standing fan. However, you need to know the size of your room in order to choose the right size fan.
If you ignore this element, you risk getting a fan that is too small for your space. You could also end up spending a lot of money on a powerful fan only to find that it is too big for your small room. Therefore, you should measure your room correctly to find out the exact square footage that the fan should cover.
• Remote Control
Just like the programmable timer, which is an added benefit for pedestal fans, you will also find models with a remote control. It is helpful to have a remote control to set the fan speed or to turn it on/off.
However, for those who won’t use the remote control but prefer manual interaction, you shouldn’t invest in a fan with this feature. Also, fans with remote controls are more expensive.
• Timers
If you often forget to turn off your fan, it is best to choose a standing fan with a timer function. Also, it helps to avoid wasting energy if you don’t want the fan to run all night.
You can find fans with programmable settings of 1, 2, 4 or even up to 8 hours. However, if you don’t need a timer, it’s best not to waste too much money on a fan with this additional feature.
• Quiet
It is considered relatively quiet when the sound level is below 60 decibels. Whether a fan is noisy and disrupts your daily activities can only be determined by the location in which you want to place it.
However, quiet fans are usually more expensive. Unless you are a light sleeper or you are getting a fan for your study, you can opt for a standard fan with low decibels.
• Adjustable Height
Modern fans have an adjustable height feature that allows you to set the height according to the area you want to position. You can move the stand up and down to circulate the air in the correct position. In addition, we recommend that you take note of this component as it is very useful.
• Fixed or Directional
If you are installing a fan for a small room that needs localised cooling, the fixed head function will suit your needs. However, if you want to place a floor fan in a room where other people are seated, it is best to choose a directional head. For larger spaces, a backward tilt and swing function is preferable as you can direct the room air to different angles.
