We’re looking for tower fan models/brands specifically, but you can use this post to talk about whatever :)

      Seconding this. Best fan I’ve ever owned, great circulation and still kicking after 10+ years too

        My vornado set a trend in college because of how well it would depressurize our dorm rooms while smoking weed.

        Bernoulli’s principle y’all.

      And people often don’t appreciate that a Vornado doesn’t need to oscillate. The air stream they generate will get all the air in a room moving without tilting or turning.

      Thirding this. I went for two of their pricey all-metal tabletop fans. Definitely a luxury purchase, but they’re built like tanks with sleek retro styling. These things will last the rest of my life.

      They’re surprisingly quiet on low and medium, and sound pretty typical on high.

    The best fan I’ve ever owned which is still working great is one of these big metal 20" fans from the hardware store. When it’s set to high it’s like a tiny tornado but I swear it keeps the room 10 degrees cooler

        Every year when it gets hot I take this one out and spend about a week thinking it’s not working right and I’ll have to replace it. Then I remember to open the grill and clean all the cat hair off the blades and it works like brand new again lol it’s been going strong for about 6 years now!

    I have this one and like it. Looks like it’s out of stock, but maybe there a newer model?
