10 Best Cooling Fans to Take the Stickiest Heat Out of Summer
10 Best Cooling Fans to Take the Stickiest Heat Out of Summer
Now would be a great time to not underestimate the cooling power of a fan. Not just the cheap-o box fan or oscillating fan, but one that looks nice—or at least discreet—while it does its job, and does it well. Here are 10 such cooling fans. A few won't exactly enhance your home decor scheme, but most are made with design in mind. They're all very good at stirring up a breeze.
1) Vornado Pivot3C Compact Clip-On Fan

Not all of us tackle the insurmountable to-do list of the day at an executive-sized desk. Keep the desk space clear with Vornado's clip-on circulator.
2) Pelonis PFT40A4AGB Household Tower Fan
PELONIS
amazon.com
This indestructible, no-nonsense fan whirs quietly in its corner, taking up the same floorspace as a pair of shoes as it oscillates. Play around with the levels, timers, and fan modes to get it exactly right.
3) BONECO F220 Air Shower Fan

You get two heights out of this adjustable fan, which besides making a strong argument for modern minimalism, backs up its good looks by sucking in quite an impressive amount of air that it then circulates back out.
4) Vornado Silver Swan Alchemy Oscillating Fan

Cary Grant had a fan like this, probably. Vornado's Silver Swan is the antidote to the hulking plastic monsters that litter today's homes.
5) Stadler Form Otto 14.8'' Personal Fan
Stadler Form
Another such cure can be found in Stadler's Otto model, which masks industrial-level blades in a bamboo structure. Nice to gaze upon, isn't it? The Otto can softly stir up breezes, but it can also mimic a Boeing wind tunnel. Take your pick.
6) Blueair Blue Pure Fan

Two birds, one less machine to infringe upon your floorspace. Blueair combined an air purifier with a box fan in a calming kind of design that wouldn't look out of place in the kids' rooms.
7) Dyson Air Multiplier AM06 Table Fan
Dyson
amazon.com
You can practically feel the luxury wafting from this blade-less, desk-appropriate Dyson. Oh, no, that's just air cooled quietly and efficiently.
8) Dyson Pure Hot + Cool, HP01
Dyson
amazon.com
Name a task involving air, and this Dyson'll take a crack at it. So, cooling air, heating air, and purifying air of all its nastiness. If you can swing it, then swing it. You won't find a more streamlined machine.
9) Honeywell Turbo Force Power Heater + Fan
Honeywell
amazon.com
It won't win any Design Awards, but this pint-sized beast exudes cool breezes suitable for a small space. And then, come winter's plummeting temps, it'll crank out some much-appreciated heat waves. It's got doodads, too—timers, intensity levels, swivels, the works.
10) Objecto Flow F5 Oscillating Fan with Aromatherapy

Standing oscillating fans tend to be, frankly, ugly. Objecto begs to differ. The Flow is next-level adjustable—angle the head, change the oscillation mode, lower the stand almost to the ground, even add aromatherapy oils for it to distribute through the airwaves.
These 10 will take even the stickiest heat out of summer. And they're not half bad to look at, either.
