electriQ Tower Fan Bladeless 24" with 3 Speeds, Remote Control and Mood Light

Product Information

On this setting, the display lights are turned off and the fan speed is adjusted based on your stages of sleep. Its lowest setting gives off just 42 decibels, which apparently is the same level of noise as a quiet library. The best tower fans, on the other hand, tend to take up less space and make less noise, which is perfect if you're using them in the background when watching TV or trying to doze off. They deliver a steady and powerful airflow which, provided you clean your fan every once in a while, shouldn’t affect those with allergies. It’s got an easy to use remote control, but the buttons on the unit itself sometimes needed a double tap to register the contact.

Noise was an essential factor, with quiet fans getting a higher rating and those that were extra quiet (30 dB) getting a bonus rating for light sleepers. When it first arrived, we found it a bit fiddly having to screw the base onto the fan, but our criticism stopped there. There’s also a 12 hour timer which can be set in 1 hour increments, helping to keep your home cool without wasting energy. If you’re particularly sensitive to lights on at night, it might be worth bearing in mind that the fan’s current ‘mode’ is indicated by a small LED, and this can’t be turned off. However, if the remote operated at the same frequency as the smart TV remote, it rated lower since that can be frustrating.If you don’t want to use the light, either as a nightlight or colourful statement lamp, it can be switched off separately to the fan, so the fan function remains running. High-power mode: A pre-set mode that will instantly choose the highest power settings to give a strong blast of air. Unlike traditional blade fans, the dust has less places to gather; therefore, less dust is blown out into the room. Furthermore, I rated the fan higher if it had an auto mode to change the speed as the temperature changed. Having more speed settings available doesn’t necessarily mean more power, it just gives you more choice to create your ideal environment for work, leisure or sleep.

With the built-in timer, you can set the unit to turn off at pre-set intervals from 30 minutes to 7. The first thing I notice (after how easy it is to assemble) is that it has both horizontal and vertical oscillation which, coupled with a powerful airflow of 1,653m³ph gives it unrivalled room-cooling capabilities. It also has a remote control, so you can easily change the settings from your bed, your desk, or the sofa.

A tower fan can be more useful than a pedestal fan if you're planning on using it regularly as it will fit into a corner of a room without taking up much space and with a small footprint. Bladeless fans are getting more multi-functional by the second, and the electriQ Bladeless Quiet Tower Fanis no exception.

It needs to be adjusted using the control panel so, if you’re changing the settings at night, you will need to get out of bed. It's unlike any other as it features LED lighting in the centre, creating a calming atmospheric glow. This relatively affordable pedestal fan has a lot going for it – it’s quiet, sturdy, can be controlled via a smartphone app (or your voice) and has a whopping 26 speed settings, plus a ‘natural’ mode that creates a varying breeze-like effect.Some bladeless fans go one step further than just having speed settings and offer a choice of modes to choose from too. Energy Efficiency: Those with shut-off timers got higher ratings because this feature allows you to save money on energy if you forget to turn it off. It's best to refer to the individual fan's user instructions but in general, you can remove dust and debris from a tower fan's blades using a can of compressed air. If you’re hoping for the fan to circulate air around a smaller room, 360° oscillation may help you better achieve this. When summer temperatures climb, having a cooling fan to hand can make it a lot easier to work, relax and sleep.
