Tower fan

- Space-saving design
- Nice looking
- Small grates make it safer for use around children
- Some reports of durability problems
The Good Housekeeping Institute tests 32 fans and identifies the best choices in several fan categories. The Lasko 2530 Elite Wind Tower Fan wins as the best tower fan. We also found support for this model at Amazon.com, where most owners give it good scores, though some report durability problems.
In reviews, the Lasko 2530 Elite WindTower Fan receives high marks for producing good airflow with minimal noise. Owners also appreciate the space-saving design. In addition, the small grates of tower fans make them safer for use around children. For a tower fan, the price is low, but some owners posting reviews at Amazon.com, say the Lasko fan stopped working within a year. Overall, however, the Lasko tower fan -- which picks up an award from Good Housekeeping -- is a good value, though its looks are nondescript. The more expensive Bionaire Metal Tower Fan BT49R-U (*est. $80) is praised by a reporter from Slate.com for its cooling ability, noise level, design and value.
