subject: A Review On The Oscillating Tower Fan [print this page] The oscillating tower fan is a good choice if you have a medium to small size room as larger rooms would most likely benefit from a pedestal or larger type of oscillating fan. This type of tower fan has a turbo breeze function that really amplifies the air around you to where you can feel the air flowing through the room. Many brands of tower fans come with some feature that enhances the air flow but they may be referenced by a different name depending on the brand. The amps on the motor will correlate to the power of your fan and how much flow of air it can achieve.
The main point of the oscillating type tower fan is the way it can push air through the room quickly.
The following features are what to look for:
1. Fan comes with a variable-speed control.
2. Some fans come with a programmable timer which allow you to set a start and end time. This allows you to select predetermine times to come on when your home and to go off when your not. This is another way the fan can help conserve your energy usage.
3. A remote control for easy operation when your not in reach of the fan.
4. Look for the models that have an LCD display. This will allow precise temperature control.
5. Control the thermostat from the LCD display.
6. A filter for cleaner air that is easy to wash. The filter system is also an added benefit to allergy suffers. Dust and pollen is easily removed from the air you breath.
7. A wider flow of air from the fans that have the oscillating feature.
8. Another plus is these fans are designed to compliment the room as the dimensions are perfect to allow them to be place in a corner of the room or between two chairs. When compared to the big and bulky box fans and common pedestal fans these fans take up little space.
9. These tower fans are light weight but built well.
The best way to use the oscillating tower fan is to raise the thermostat of your air conditioning a couple of degrees and then place the fan so it circulates the air around your room. By doing this you lower the energy bill while still maintaining a comfortable and livable temperature in your home. You can then turn on fans only at night for further savings.
From some of the Amazon reviews, some users comment on how nice it is to fall asleep to the sound of the fan while they feel the cool breeze hitting their face. Experience the cool breeze of the night air in your home with these well built fans.
The remotes have a built in light for seeing at night without turning your room light on. The flash light of the remote is perfect for finding things in the dark. Even if you have set the fan by its LCD display you can change the settings at a moment's notice just by using your remote.
The programmable thermostat can be set at two-hour intervals.
The use of warm water is all thats needed to clean the filter on this tower fan. One look at the filter after some use and you will not believe the amount of dirt that is pulled from your room.
