Have a small living space? Tower fans are ideal for you to cool down this summer, for they provide a wide area of air circulation in a small space, owing to their vertical vent design. They can be placed anywhere from the floor to the table. Some models are also designed to be positioned at the windows. I would pick a slim tower fan for my office and kitchen because they can efficiently cool down the surroundings while going easy with the electricity bill as compared to a power guzzling air conditioner. How does a tower fan work? I have been browsing through some tower fan models for my kitchen and office. Here are my top five picks: Bionaire’s BT46R-U tops my list of tower fan manufacturers. It has all the add-ons that a tower fan can have, along with an electronic touch pad control, three speed settings and an integrated carrying handle for making it more portable. While reading the reviews for this product, I noted that most consumers are satisfied with the air circulation provided by this model.

This tower fan is all that you would want- slim, tall and inexpensive at Rs. 3, 365. Bionaire offers a 5 year warranty on this one. Mist Air tower fan from Usha is priced at Rs. 2, 095, a reasonable rate considering the company’s good reputation. The motorized oscillation in this tower fan is inclined at 60⁰ so that the circulation inside the room is wide and efficient. Usha considers it ‘ideal for your living room’. With 45 watts electricity consumption and a lightweight body, do you think it is indeed so? Oster Tower Fan BT16RBS adheres to the ‘CE’ (European Union) ratings for safety of electrical products. Rated at 50 watts, it is just right for your bedroom, as it is as quiet as a whisper. It weighs just 3.2 kgs, is 74 mm tall and occupies 24X24 mm floor space. The timer can be fixed up to 8 hours and controls for speed and sound can be closely optimized. Priced at Rs. 2, 740 it is an ideal pick for a typical Indian consumer. Kenwin is one of the most popular indigenous manufacturers for tower fans in India.

Though its height and width are comparable to international standards with just a few millimeters here and there, this fan is sure heavy at 8 kg of weight. However, true to its Indian roots, it is durable and has an effective range of 25 ft. it circulates 2250 cu. m of air per hour. For those on a tight budget, this model priced between an unbelievable Rs 787-868 is a steal. Priced at Rs. 2,985, the HY-105 Quiet Set from Honeywell is the smallest tower fan in this list with just 40”X12”X12” dimensions. oreck air purifier truman cell reviewHowever, it can air a medium to large room efficiently with its wide oscillation. winix air purifier 5300 manualThe best part about this fan is that it comes with multiple settings for noise reduction, hence the name. hunter air cleaner model 30730

It is designed to take up the least floor space. The warranty period is a short one of a year, but this 4-kg fan might actually save up to 20% from your electricity bills. Tower fans are popular for their slim design and cooling effects, but they are prone to overheating and hence, malfunctioning. For this purpose, good quality tower fans are equipped with polarized plugs to reduce overheating. In general, tower fans are not supposed to be sprayed with water or exposed to external air from windows, though there are some models which can be placed in the windows. I think tower fans are a good option on the whole given their price ranges and utilities.
