How to choose

Outdoor rating first

An outdoor tower fan must stand up to sun and light rain, so check the weather rating before the speed count. Only the DREO lists IPX4 water resistance with UV protection for patios, backyards and garages, while the PELONIS, Levoit and OmniBreeze list indoor use. If the fan will sit outside, the DREO is the pick with the outdoor rating in this list.

Speeds, modes and oscillation

Speeds set how strong the airflow feels, modes shape how it varies, and oscillation sets how wide it spreads. The DREO offers 12 speeds and 4 modes with oscillation from 30 to 150 degrees, the Levoit offers 5 speeds and 4 modes with wide oscillation, and the PELONIS offers 3 speeds and 3 modes with 90-degree oscillation. The OmniBreeze offers 4 speeds and 4 modes with wide oscillation, so match the range to the space you cool.

Noise, power and control

Noise in decibels states how loud the fan runs, and controls state how you change settings. The DREO runs at 20 dB, the PELONIS at 27 dB, the Levoit at 28 dB and the OmniBreeze at 52 dB. All four include a remote, and the DREO adds app, voice and touch-panel control, so pick the control mix that fits how you use the fan.
