Choosing the best bladeless fan
A bladeless fan, also known as an air multiplier or bladeless tower fan, can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and from different manufacturers. With so many models available, here are the 10 criteria you should consider before you buy a tower fan.
- Airflow: Check the bladeless fan’s airflow capacity, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM) or litres per second (l/s). Higher airflow rate indicates better cooling capability.
- Size: Bladeless fans come in various sizes, from compact desk fans to taller tower fans. Choose one that fits your space.
- Speed settings: Multiple speed settings to adjust the fan’s intensity to your comfort level.
- Oscillation: Oscillation distributes air more evenly across a room and can be particularly useful in larger spaces.
- Air purification: Some bladeless fans also double as air purifiers, with built-in HEPA filters or other filtration systems to improve air quality.
- Noise: A bladeless fan is generally quieter than a traditional bladed fans but some may still produce noticeable noise at higher speeds.
- Safety: Safety features such as a tilt sensor will turn off the fan if it is knocked over.
- Portability: If you plan to move the fan between rooms frequently, consider its weight and whether it has built-in handles.
- Energy Efficiency: Look for energy-efficient models to help reduce your electricity bills. Energy Star certification is a good indicator of efficiency.
- Additional Features: Some bladeless fans come with remote controls and extra features like a sleep mode, ionizers, or app connectivity. Decide which features are important to you.
