How to choose
Compare airflow in CFM
Airflow is the number that separates the Lasko and the PELONIS: the Lasko moves 2,000 CFM and the PELONIS moves 1,765 CFM. A higher CFM figure means the fan moves more air, but blade size and head direction also shape where that air goes. Compare blade size, tilt and oscillation alongside CFM when you choose.
Oscillation, tilt and direction
The PELONIS oscillates 90 degrees and tilts its head, so it spreads air across a room without moving the fan. The Lasko pivots its head for 360-degree directional airflow, so you aim it at one spot. The BEYOND BREEZE tilts 180 degrees on its cradle, so you can point it from a tabletop or the floor. Pick the movement that matches how you use the fan.
Controls, timers and portability
The PELONIS has a remote and a timer: the remote controls power, speed, oscillation and the 7-hour timer, and the height adjusts from 42 to 48 inches. The Lasko uses manual controls, and the BEYOND BREEZE uses push-button control. Both the Lasko and the BEYOND BREEZE have carry handles for moving room to room. The Lasko arrives fully assembled, and the BEYOND BREEZE cradle needs no assembly. Weigh the controls against how much you move the fan.
