The Spruce
It is relatively lightweight and has a built-in handle, so we could easily move it.
This fan has four fan speeds, and we could detect a noticeable difference between each.
you could also dim the display lights if they are distracting.

We never experienced any wobbling or tipping with this fan as well, thanks to the stable base.
And even at its highest setting, it functions as white noise and is not disruptive.
Safety features include a blade-less design and a tip-over automatic shutoff.

It simply wobbles and then stops.
We do want to note one tip about assembly.
It only took us a few minutes to put the three pieces of the fan together.
So, ensure you dont make our mistake and remove all of the stickers first.
On the lowest setting, sleep mode, we only heard a very low hum.
The highest-setting sound was more noticeable, but we did not find it to be disturbingly loud.
Since it has a remote, you don’t even have to get out of bed to operate it.
When not in use, the remote can be stored inside the back of the fan.
We also love its unique design: It’s sleek and has a wood-paneled look.
While that might not fit everyone’s aesthetic, it does stand out while taking up a small footprint.
It has three fan speeds and we could detect a noticeable difference between each.
This fan oscillates 45 degrees in each direction slowly, so we almost always felt the airflow.
We tested this fan for six months at home (and counting!)
Our only complaint is that the fan is wobbly if you knock into it.
We also noted that it produces more air than ourceiling fan.
Plus, it’s also a good choice to use while sleeping.
The built-in remote control storage is also a nice space-saving feature.
Overall, we think this fan is more of a set-it-in-one-spot-and-enjoy option.
We love its clear digital display, bladeless design, powerful airflow, and thoughtful features.
It can be positioned vertically or horizontally to circulate a wide flow of air around the room.
Design:To evaluate the design, we measured the noise level at different configs and noted our observations.
For example, could you hold a conversation or watch TV while the fan was on?
At what setting was it too distracting?
We noted the speed and degree of oscillation (how far it turned in either direction).

We also tested how far away the remote worked from the fan (up to 20 feet).
Effectiveness:We noted all of the fan speeds and if there was a detectable difference between each speed.
Value: We also considered the fan’s value in terms of its features and effectiveness for the price.
The Lasko FH500 Fan & Space Heater Combo Tower has separate controls for the heater and fan.The Spruce
We also loved the designated spot for the remote, touch-sensitive controls, and carrying handle.
However, after further testing, we found the airflow to be weak unless you were fairly up close.
Most often, a wider range of speeds makes for a more versatile machine.

All of the options on this list feature oscillation.
