For expert tips on buying tower fans, we spoke to Matt Brown, former merchant of ACs and fans, air quality, and floorcare, and current senior merchant of vinyl flooring, at Home Depot. We also brought the top performers home for long-term testing and have updated this piece with fresh insights based on our experience. We tested 31 fans in our Lab, eight of which were tower fans, and evaluated them based on air speed, design, portability, effectiveness, and overall value.

Tower fans also tend to be quieter than other fans, helping you get a cool and comfortable night’s sleep without any disturbance.
