How to choose
Compare airflow in CFM
Airflow in CFM states how much air a fan moves. The Hurricane moves 2400 CFM and the COMFORT ZONE moves 640 CFM, so the gap between them is large on paper. Match the figure to the space you want to ventilate, and remember that speed settings change how much air you feel at each level.
Speed settings and noise
All three picks offer more than one speed, so you can pick a gentle breeze or a stronger draft from the same fan. The Hurricane runs at 45 dB and the COMFORT ZONE at 63.3 dB, so compare those figures if sound matters in your room. A lower decibel figure means less sound from the fan at its stated level.
Size and placement
A 20-inch floor fan suits open floor space, while a 9-inch tabletop fan sits on a desk or table. Check the depth, width and height of the fan against the spot where it will stand, and leave room around it for air to move. A carry handle helps when you move a fan between rooms, and a floor mount keeps a larger fan steady in one place.
FAQ
Which pick has the highest stated airflow?
The Hurricane states 2400 CFM, and the COMFORT ZONE states 640 CFM. Compare those two stated figures when airflow is the deciding factor for your room.
What size box fan fits a desk?
The EZ-CHILL is a 9-inch tabletop fan with a carry handle and a weight of less than 3 lb, so it sits on a desk or table. The two 20-inch picks are floor fans that need floor space instead.
