How to choose
Speeds, modes and airflow
Speeds set how finely you can tune airflow: the DREO gives 9 speeds and 4 modes, while the other four picks give 3 speeds each. Airflow in CFM is the other number to compare: the Lasko lists 1,854 CFM, the DREO lists 1,150 CFM and the COMFORT ZONE lists 445 CFM. Modes change the pattern of airflow. On the remote models, the remote lets you change speeds and modes without crossing the room. Compare the CFM figure with the speed count before you choose.
Height, tilt and oscillation
Height and tilt decide where the air lands: the Amazon Basics and the Lasko adjust height, the DREO adjusts from 37 to 42 inches, and the COMFORT ZONE adjusts from 41 inches to 47-3/8 inches. Oscillation spreads air across a room: the Lasko uses widespread oscillation, the DREO uses 120-degree horizontal oscillation, and the COMFORT ZONE uses 90-degree oscillation. The Commercial Cool is a floor fan with an adjustable tilt angle instead of a pedestal stand. Match the height range and the oscillation angle to the room you want to cool.
Weight, power and upkeep
Weight matters if the fan moves between rooms: the Commercial Cool weighs 5.5 lb, the COMFORT ZONE weighs 5.8 lb, the DREO weighs 10.58 lb and the Amazon Basics weighs 12.3 lb. Wattage runs from 28 watts on the DREO to 96 watts on the Lasko, with the Amazon Basics at 60 watts. The COMFORT ZONE base folds down for compact storage.
