How to choose
Airflow in CFM
CFM measures the volume of air a fan moves, and a higher figure means more airflow. The Hurricane moves 2,400 CFM, the PELONIS moves 2,295 CFM, the BLACK+DECKER moves 1,200 CFM and the COMFORT ZONE moves 901.8 CFM. Compare the stated figures with your room size before you buy.
Speeds, watts and noise
All five fans have 3 speed settings, so watts and noise separate them. The Hurricane draws 55 watts at 42 dB, the PELONIS draws 55 watts at 25 dB, the Genesis draws 60 watts, the COMFORT ZONE draws 71.5 watts at 63.3 dB, and the BLACK+DECKER draws 80 watts at 63.3 dB. A lower decibel figure means a quieter fan, so match watts and noise with how you use the fan each day.
Size, handles and cords
All five fans measure 20 inches. For moving ease, the Genesis, COMFORT ZONE, PELONIS and BLACK+DECKER each have a carry handle. The Hurricane has adjustable feet and a 5-foot cable, and the BLACK+DECKER has a 6-foot cord. Compare cord length against where you will place the fan.
