How to choose
Noise figures compared
A lower decibel figure means a quieter fan. The PELONIS lists 34 dB, the JUMXION lists 40 dB, the Vornado lists 45 dB and the COMFORT ZONE lists 53 dB. The shinic describes its low speed as quiet for sleeping, so weigh that description against the stated figures. Match the stated noise figure with how close the fan sits to your bed.
Reversible airflow and modes
Reversible airflow switches between pulling outside air in and pushing inside air out. The shinic offers intake, exhaust and circulate modes, and the Vornado switches between intake and exhaust. The COMFORT ZONE runs 1, 2 or 3 fans at once, so you can match airflow to the room. A remote helps when the fan sits across the room: the shinic remote works up to 20 feet away.
Fit, placement and cords
Window fans fit by width, so measure your window before buying. The shinic fits windows from 23.5 to 37 inches, the COMFORT ZONE from 25 to 36.7 inches, and the Vornado from 26 to 38 inches. The PELONIS and JUMXION sit on a surface instead, so place them on a floor, table or window sill. Check cord length too: the shinic has a 6-foot cord and the JUMXION has a 5-foot cord.
