Tower Fan Types

Bladeless Tower Fans
This type of tower fan blows air from a ring that has no external blades. Hidden vanes in the pedestal blow a thin, high-velocity stream of air through a continuous opening across the tube, or elongated doughnut-shaped hole. The design is attractive and easy to clean compared to a tower fan with vents.

Oscillating Tower Fans
Oscillating tower fans rotate back and forth and can offer more comfort over a larger area than fans that are fixed and direct air flow to one specific area.

Pedestal Tower Fans
These are fans on a pole with a wide base. They are sturdy, sleek and blow air only from the top of the fan. This type of tower fan works well for placing behind furniture or to aim air above a bed or other platform.

Outdoor Tower Fans
A damp- or wet-rated fan is designed to be placed outdoors or in areas where moisture can build up, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms. Outdoor fans can hold up to humidity and have a specially designed motor housing to protect the wiring.
