How to choose
Compare speeds and oscillation
Speed settings control how strong the airflow feels, and more settings give finer steps between low and high. Oscillation moves the head side to side so air reaches more of the room instead of one spot. The PELONIS and BEESTAR use 90° oscillation, the Lasko uses 60-degree oscillation and the Becvtoz uses 180° oscillation. Match the range to how wide the area is that you want covered.
Height and desk or floor use
Adjustable height matters when one fan must serve a desk, a sofa and a standing area. The Becvtoz adjusts across 15, 20, 30 and 38 inches, and the BEESTAR adjusts across 19, 31 and 43 inches. The PELONIS adjusts from 3.9 to 4.7 feet, and the Lasko stand extends up to 54 inches. The Lepwings switches between desk and floor use. Pick the range that fits where you will place the fan.
Power, remote and timer basics
A remote lets you change settings from across the room, and the PELONIS, Lepwings and Becvtoz include one. A timer shuts the fan off after a set time: the PELONIS has a 7-hour timer, the Lepwings has a 3/6/9-hour timer and the Becvtoz has a 12-hour timer. The Lepwings runs on a 10400mAh rechargeable battery for use away from an outlet. Set the fan on a flat floor and keep the oscillation path clear.
