How to choose
Match oscillation to the room
Oscillation spreads air across a wider area instead of one fixed direction. The Uthfy covers 120°, the TriPole 80° and the Greheywos 75°, so compare those figures with how much of the room you want covered. A wider sweep suits a shared living area, while a narrower sweep suits one seat or one side of a desk.
Battery power versus plug-in power
A battery fan moves between rooms and works away from an outlet, but its run time ends and it needs charging. The TriPole runs 6.2 to 42 hours on a charge and the Greheywos 5 to 21 hours, so check those figures against how long you need air each day. The Uthfy runs on AC power, so it keeps going while plugged in but stays near an outlet.
Height, tilt and upkeep
Adjustable height and head tilt let you aim air where you sit or stand instead of one fixed level. The TriPole adjusts from 22 to 41 inches with 200° of head tilt, and the Greheywos adjusts from 3.7 to 36 inches with 180° of tilt. For upkeep, pick a fan with a removable grille or parts that come apart for cleaning, like the Greheywos front grille, and fold a folding fan flat for storage.
