How to choose
Oscillation and blade size
Oscillation moves the fan head side to side so air reaches more of a room instead of one spot. Oscillation is 90° for the PELONIS and COMFORT ZONE, and 85.5° for the Emerson. Blade size also matters: four picks have 16-inch blades, while the PAMI has an 18-inch fan size. Compare the stated angle and blade size against the space you want covered.
Height, weight and controls
Adjustable height lets you aim air at a couch or a bed. The PELONIS adjusts from 42 to 48 inches, the Emerson from 37.5 to 49.5 inches, the Lasko to 47 inches and the COMFORT ZONE from 41 to 47-3/8 inches. Weight matters if you move the fan: the Emerson weighs 5.7 lb and the PELONIS weighs 11.4 lb. Controls differ too: the PELONIS includes a remote, while the Lasko and COMFORT ZONE use manual or button controls.
Noise, airflow and timers
Noise figures are 50 dB for the PELONIS, 56.7 dB for the COMFORT ZONE and 65 dB for the Emerson. Airflow figures are 1,140 CFM for the Lasko and 445 CFM for the COMFORT ZONE. A timer switches the fan off after a set time: the PELONIS has a 7-hour timer. Check which figures each pick states before choosing.
