How to choose
Match heat settings and fan speeds
Heat settings set how much warmth a tower puts out, while fan speeds set cooling airflow. The Lasko has 3 heat settings and 4 fan speeds, the DREO has 5 heat settings and 12 cooling fan speeds, the KIAMI has 3 heat settings and 8 fan speeds, and the Amazon Basics has 2 heat settings and a fan mode. Compare both counts with how you use the tower across seasons.
Check oscillation, timers, and controls
Oscillation spreads heat and air across a room instead of one spot. The Lasko, the DREO, the KIAMI, and the Amazon Basics each oscillate, with 120° on the DREO and 80° on the KIAMI. Timers also differ: 8 hours on the Lasko, 12 hours on the DREO, and 1 to 9 hours on the KIAMI. Each tower here has a remote for changing settings.
Compare protection and coverage
Tip-over shutoff stops a tower when it tips, and overheat protection stops it when parts get too hot. The Lasko, the DREO, the KIAMI, and the Amazon Basics each list both features. For coverage, the Lasko lists coverage rated for up to 150 sq ft by the maker. Check the listed coverage before matching a tower to a room.
