The Good Housekeeping Institute tests 32 fans, identifying the best choices in several fan categories. Unfortunately, details of the testing are not included. The Honeywell HF-810 Mega Turbo High Velocity Floor Fan is the best floor fan in the Good Housekeeping Institute test. Reviewers on Amazon.com give this fan a very good rating.
The Honeywell HF-810 Mega Turbo High Velocity Floor Fan receives good marks for power in professional testing and owner-written reviews. Most reviewers agree that this fan moves a lot of air. Unlike most floor fans, this unit has a floor stand, which reviewers like because it allows the fan head to be tilted to direct air flow and prevents the fan from tipping over. The noise level is a problem for several owners, but for most it is tolerable or even conducive to a good night's sleep. One reviewer complains that this fan cannot be taken apart for cleaning. A concern cited in testing is that this unit, like all floor fans, has large grates that decrease safety, especially around children. At less than half the price, the Lasko 3733 20" Box Fan (*est. $17) is cited for its power in a formal review, but some reviewers on Amazon.com find it inadequate.

Engineers at the Good Housekeeping Institute test 32 fans, listing picks in several types. The Honeywell HF-810 is the best floor fan. Testers are impressed by its power, noting that it "circulates gusts of air in hallways and basements." The report cautions that, as with all floor fans, the large grates on the fan head are not safe for children.
