The Best Fans - Reviewed & Tested

We spent weeks researching and testing each fan by measuring wind velocity, sound levels and general usability.

Our picks for the best fan:

When purchasing a fan, the top features to consider are:
• Aesthetics
• Noise
• Oscillation

me looking up “best fans to buy” at 3am bc it’s so hot in my room.

[TheRausing]

I love fans. Can’t sleep without one, mostly for the sound.

I just need one to keep me cool on a hot day and not too loud

[Deklectic]

I always thought I was weird but its nice to see many other people need a fan to sleep too 🤣 even in the winter time something about the noise and the light breeze relaxes me. Get a metal fan if your into that because it will actually Last for years because they are built more heavy duty vs a walmart special plastic fan that will abrutly burn out with in a year if your a heavy fan user like those of us that use one 365 Days. Everything is built so cheap now a days until its unbelievable.. 🙄😔

[Deklectic]

I think Metal fans are the best fans to have if you wan't real good circulation and your product to actually last. The lowest setting on a metal fan is equivalent to the high setting on a traditional plastic bladed fan most of us are use to.. If you want something that will LAST years get that type of fan but if your on a tight budget and don't have 60+ to spend on a fan then a cheap plastic fan is better than no fan at all.

When the first few sentences talk about a fan 'being out of stock until spring of 2019' - but the title claims to be 'best fan of 2020' - I know I'm being yanked around. Had to downvote for that reason.

I want my fan to be loud. I use it for sleeping.

Should retitle to "Best Fan Out of 10 fans we bought of 2019" Bunch of different vornado fans and you selected the VFAN vintage?

[the_faba]

"spent weeks researching and testing each fan" and you dont provide the measurements? really? :_

[jesustalks]

Best fan of 2020.

But posted in 2019?

[AILMinistries]

You claim to have tested the decibel level but then you mention nothing about it either in the video or on the blog.

[NighthawkX]

You forgot to mention one of the most important things. Its durability

You don't want to sleep with that Air King, I love mine, but it blows my curtains and pictures off my wall even on the low setting. That thing airs out a hot room though, just keep an eye on it cause it's powerful!

I have a Vornado vintage fan, it's the same model but size smaller. It didn't last! It comes in three sizes and it appears that this one in the video is the largest size. I enjoyed the styling of this fan and also the metal construction. I thought it would last for a very long time because of that sturdy appearance. I have a real vintage fan that is probably from the 40's or 50's and it's still works. Unfortunately this one has not lived up to it's reputation. I keep mine next to my bed and use it on low all year round. I believe I am going on my second year now and the motor is starting to give me problems. When I switch it on low the blades don't spin. It's as thought he motor is freezing up. If I put it on high it will start spinning and then I can switch it over to low and it will work. It is manageable for now but I have a feeling it won't be too long before it gives up all together. This is disappointing because I paid quite a bit more for this and was willing to do so thinking it would last a very long time. It is also pretty loud. It has a cool vintage humming type sound which I don't mind. In fact I kind of liked since I like white noise. Others who are sensitive would probably be very upset about this so be advised it you are considering it. The sad thing is that it seems like fans today are either super cheap or terribly expensive. Maybe I will try that Genesis Avalon. If they are not going to last more than 2 years, I really don;t want to pay more than $50.

I was looking for cpu fans but this popped up but it is actually pretty interesting.

[ceecs]

so much science and time and detail went into this & ive been looking on amazon for a week now, i appreciate this video it helped so much thank you! :)

[macbrebonicks]

My tea's gone cold. I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all. As the fan blows out my window I can see it all.

I can see, nobody is mentioning or making a reviews online on the sites about Klarstein. This is real great german, a beast of the brand. They have as well the most powerful tower air cooler fan. The Polar Tower Smart. With it's 3.306m³ / h of max wind speed is insane. I didn't seen anything more powerful. Correct me if i'm wrong, maybe there is something up to that level of wind speed... but Klarstein definitely needs more attention.
