What are the benefits of a standalone fan?

  • The wide variety of standalone fans on the market makes it easier to find a fan that suits your space, room size, cooling requirements and lifestyle preferences
  • Standalone fans are an affordable alternative to portable air conditioners, both in terms of purchase price and running costs
  • They’re more lightweight and portable than their portable air conditioning counterparts, making them easy to carry from room to room.

Types of standalone fans

  • Pedestal Fans: These traditional portable fans are also called stand fans, as they’re supported by an adjustable vertical stand. The fan section uses spinning blades to cool down a room.
  • Tower Fans: Also known as column fans, these fans have a long rectangular or cylindrical shape. They’re powered by impeller blades inside the unit, which push air through an air outlet that runs from close to the base to the top.
  • Desk Fans: Also called table fans, these personal fans live on your desk, and can be as small as 10-15cm in blade size. They’re great for the office or work-from-home spaces - or both.
  • Floor fans: These sit squat, close to the ground. A high velocity floor fan will also push air more powerfully at a longer distance across the room.
  • Box Fans: Also sitting low, these fans are boxed into an enclosure with a grill, housing the blades on the inside.
  • Wall Fans: Wall-mounted and similar to the top section of pedestal fans, these use 3-5 blades to spin on an 180-degree axis.

No matter which fan type you opt for, there are usually plenty of extra features available. Simply scroll down and select the filters on the left-hand side to customise the fan reviews that show up on the right.
