Home Fan Rating - Top Models

To normalize the microclimate in the room and provide normal conditions for work and leisure, it is not at all necessary to spend a lot of money on expensive air conditioning - just buy a fan. A huge number of manufacturers offer a wide variety of models. We will figure out which fan is better to buy for a home, how different models differ from each other, and which ones have features.

Kinds

Fans come in several forms:

  • Floor - devices on a long leg, the height of which, as a rule, can be adjusted. Floor standing appliances are equipped with large blades that provide coverage for the largest space. Such models are best chosen for large rooms. Most floor fans are equipped with a rotation function in different directions to ventilate the entire room.
  • Desktop - as a rule, rotate in several directions, have small blades and compact sizes. The cost of such fans, compared with outdoor, is much lower. Use them more often to equip the workplace at the table.
  • Column - are cylinders that work in a vertical or horizontal position. Equipped with a special system designed to control the power of the air flow. Column fans do not have blades, their principle of operation is similar to a heater.
  • Ceiling - most often used in shops, restaurants, cafes and other large areas. Units are equipped with large blades and a powerful motor.
  • Thermal - equipped with the function of heating the air in winter and ventilation in the summer. For the manufacture of such devices, heat-resistant materials are used that prevent overheating. Thanks to special switches, you can adjust the power level.

Criterias of choice

You can figure out which fan is best for the home by examining the following device parameters:

  • The diameter of the blades - the larger this indicator, the more intensively the device blows around the room. It is desirable that the blades are protected by a screen having miniature openings. The most optimal diameter is 10-16 cm.
  • Noise level - one of the main problems of cheap models is their high noise level. When choosing a fan, it is important to pay attention to devices with a noise level of no more than 25 dB.
  • Functionality - there are models equipped with several functions at once: air ionization, timer, remote control, etc. Such devices are more convenient in operation, but also cost more.
  • Control - the unit can be controlled using a sensor or button navigation. The presence of a display allows you to control which functions are currently working.
  • Air strike - the higher this parameter, the greater the cooling rate of the room area.
  • Blowing area - this indicator is important when buying a fan for a large room. Devices with a maximum airflow area can cover up to 50 m².
  • Blow modes - the ability to change speeds allows you to adjust the intensity of the blow.The simplest models have only two speeds, the most functional - up to eight. Some manufacturers offer models that are able to change speeds automatically, including each of them in turn.
  • Power - this indicator is responsible for how much room the fan can cover. Today there are devices with a power of 30-140 watts.
