Which desk fan is better to choose?

Buying a table fan for your home or office is a very important step.
In order for the purchase to be successful, to please you with the set of necessary functions and high quality, it is very important not to make a mistake with your choice. To buy the best desk fan, you need to follow these simple guidelines:

• Initially, you need to decide on the area of ​​the room where the device will be used. For ventilation of small rooms (up to 15 sq. m.), fans with a low power of up to 25 W are suitable. At the same time, it is worth remembering that the larger the area of ​​the room, the higher the power of the device should be.
• It is worth paying attention to the protection of the blades. If you have pets or children at home, you should choose table fans with a protective grille. Almost all fans on our list meet this condition.
• The noise level is also very important when choosing a desk fan. If a device with average noise is suitable for home use, then for office work you should choose the quietest models - fans from Stadler and Soler & Palau.
• In addition, it is worth considering the functionality of such devices. In addition to cooling, they can aromatize and ionize the air, have touch control, a timer and backlight. The leader of our rating – the portable fan Xiaomi VH2 and a device from the company Boneco – have touch control.
• The ability to tilt and rotate the device body is important. These capabilities allow you to cool the entire room faster and better. In this case, it is worth taking a closer look at fans of the Scarlett and Stadler brands.
• If you plan to use the fan not only at home, but also when traveling, you should choose models that can be powered by a USB cable. There are many such models in various price categories on our list.

Recommendations for selection

• The size of the room in which you intend to use the device is important. So, for rooms with an area of ​​less than 20 m², units with a power of 35 to 65 W are suitable.
• If you're looking for a fan for your bedroom, limit your selection to models with a noise level of no more than 30 decibels.
• Families with children should take a closer look at bladeless devices or stable devices equipped with a double-sided grille covering the rotating parts.
• The larger the fan blades, the farther the air flow “shoots”. Therefore, focus on models with wide impellers.
• When choosing a unit, give preference to products from well-known brands: Tefal, Scarlett, AEG, Xiaomi, Midea, Timerton, Soler & Palau, Electrolux. The products of NoName manufacturers, although superior in price, are not distinguished by high quality and functional reliability.

You will learn even more about the best household fans and the criteria for their selection by watching the video.

Which fan to buy for home

The main characteristic of a fan is its air performance, which depends on the power and size of the blades.

For ordinary home wind blowers, these indicators are not particularly important, but in the case of exhaust fans, the performance must be selected with a margin, taking into account the volume of the room.

For your home, it is better to buy a fan with several operating modes - the more there are, the easier it will be to choose the optimal speed. But here it is worth considering the noise performance of the equipment.

Manufacturers often indicate decibels only for the weakest mode, and then it turns out that at maximum the sound of the operating fan drowns out the TV and conversation.

If the fan will operate in a spacious room with several zones, it is better that the unit with blades can be rotated or tilted, changing the direction of the air flow.

Modern models have many interesting functions that expand the scope of application of climate control technology.

These include:

1. Heating;

2. Ionization;

3. Moisturizing;

4. Backlight.

Description and types

Fans are mechanical devices whose main task is to move air masses. It is important to know that these devices are not capable of lowering the air temperature in the room - the coolness is felt due to the cooling of the human skin.

Household models are divided into three main types .

Axial fans are devices equipped with a housing on a stand and an electric motor, the rotor of which is also a fastener for the impeller (propeller). When the device is turned on, the blades rotate at high speed and drive the air flow in a certain direction. Such units can be equipped with the function of automatic rotation and changing the angle of inclination.

Radial fans consist of three elements: a housing, an electric motor and an impeller with curved blades located on it. Due to the rotation of the impeller, air enters the inlet of the device and, entering the channels between the wheel blades, moves under the influence of centrifugal force. Then the air flow under pressure is redirected to the outlet.

Bladeless devices are fundamentally different in appearance from conventional household fans. They consist of a housing with a built-in motor, a control panel and a blower having a round or oval shape. Such models are in demand due to their stylish design, the absence of open rotating parts, safety and low noise levels. The only drawback is the high cost.

What to look for when choosing a floor fan

At first glance, fans are fairly simple equipment. However, before purchasing, you should still pay attention to some nuances, the main ones of which we will list.

Blade diameter. The blowing area and its intensity depend on this parameter. For home use, models with blade diameters from 10 to 16 cm are optimal.

Power. If the room has an area of ​​up to 20 square meters, then any power value in the range from 40 to 60 W will be optimal. For larger areas, the range expands to 60-140 W.

Angle of tilt and rotation. This parameter, as well as the power and diameter of the blades, affects the efficiency of the fan. It is advisable to purchase models with auto-rotation: they independently rotate from side to side, producing airflow.

Ease of use. This point includes the presence of height adjustment on the fan, as well as blowing modes: the more of them, the easier it is for you to achieve an optimal microclimate in the room.

Noise level. It is best to check this parameter directly in the store and only after that make a final purchasing decision. A comfortable noise level for humans is 25-30 dB. True, background noise in the store can affect the objectivity of the device assessment. If this is the case, feel free to return the purchased model within two weeks. In this case, you need to complain specifically about the noise, and not say that the device is faulty. Otherwise, you will most likely be sent for diagnostics and the process of exchanging the fan may be very delayed.

Fan control. Modern models of floor fans have touch or button controls, as well as a convenient display that displays all settings and current information. It is also very convenient if the floor fan comes with a remote control: however, in 2021, even very low-cost devices are equipped with a “remote control”. If you want the fan to work at night or automatically ventilate the room before you return from work, the built-in timer will be useful. Backlighting can also be a nice additional feature.

Ionization, humidification and cooling of air. Ionized air is known to improve health and well-being. There are also models equipped with an air humidification and aromatization system. A fan with humidification is good both at home and, for example, on a summer veranda. Manufacturers rarely offer floor fans with a cooling function, however, in the strict sense of the word, this is no longer a fan, but a mini-air conditioner. All of the above devices are, of course, more expensive.

Safety and durability. A good fan should not only be efficient and functional, but also sustainable. In addition, its blades must be in a protective casing. Also, some experts recommend choosing white models: such devices will collect less dust. It is advisable to check before purchasing that there is a certificate confirming that the manufacturing materials are safe from the point of view of human health and the environment, and that the fan complies with all standards established for air-conditioning electrical equipment. And finally, if possible, you should not postpone the purchase of a fan until the summer, and seasonal price increases have nothing to do with it. The fact is that it is during this period, as already mentioned, that stores often run out of high-quality models in their warehouses, so, while escaping the heat, you risk purchasing outright consumer goods.

How to choose a good fan for your home?

Today, many companies produce devices for “smart homes” that support a lot of options, the relevance of which for ordinary buyers causes many conflicting emotions. This means that the abundance of devices is growing, and at the same time, more and more questions arise regarding how to choose a fan for yourself. We will try to highlight a number of key parameters that are most relevant, taking into account the interests of the overwhelming number of users:

1. Mechanism . Classic axial models are still the most popular, attracting with an affordable price due to inexpensive components. Such solutions have blades, the movement of which creates air masses. An alternative is radial fans, which are safer, smaller, but more expensive. The last option is rotorless fans, which appeared relatively recently. Outwardly, they resemble a ring on a stand, look stylish, and take up less space than classic alternatives.
2. Blade diameter . This parameter is relevant for classic models, as you understand. The larger the part, the fewer revolutions are needed to complete the task. Accordingly, large models make less noise but take up more space.
3. Maximum power . Depends on the blades. The higher the performance, the higher the speed of air flow. Moreover, this same parameter directly affects energy consumption.
4. Number of speeds . For most household fans, 3 operating modes are available. More advanced models have up to 6 speeds. In our opinion, this is not a fundamental parameter.
5. Noise level . Modern fans have a “Sleep” mode, etc. As part of the inclusion of a special speed, the number of revolutions decreases. At the same time, if you want to enjoy a comfortable sleep, it is advisable that the value does not exceed 40 dB. Otherwise, the sound background is unlikely to allow you to enjoy the operation of such a device.
6. Housing materials . Can be made of plastic, metal or wood to match the style of the house. It is more important that there are no defects and that the fan is easily transferred from room to room. Obviously, metal is more reliable, but more expensive and heavier.

Fan reviews

Many people mistakenly believe that air conditioners have completely replaced household fans. The demand for fans may have fallen, but this device has a fairly extensive list of advantageous features.

Advantages of fans:

• Reasonable cost compared to an air conditioner, even if you purchase the most expensive models.
• Mobility of the device. If necessary, it can be moved from room to room; depending on the type, it can be installed on a flat floor or shelf.
• Economical energy consumption.
• The small dimensions of the device make it possible to use it even in very small rooms. Easy to maintain.
• Ease of use. To operate the fan, you just need to plug it into a power outlet and select the optimal operating mode.

Disadvantages of fans:

• Doesn't cool the air. The fan mixes hot and cold air flows thanks to the directional movement of the blades, which creates a feeling of airflow.
• The noise of the blades during fan operation may disturb people.
• Does not maintain optimal temperature conditions in the room after shutdown. As soon as you turn off the fan, the coolness disappears.
