Best inexpensive floor fans

Low-cost home floor fans are the most popular products among consumers. In this price segment, high quality products from various manufacturers stand out. Each of them is equipped with an axial working mechanism. They are ascetic devices to the maximum with a minimum number of options.

Maxwell MW-3508

The device in question has a performance of 45 W, this is expressed by the presence of 3 blowing modes at once. The largest is actually an impressive air strike. However, one should immediately note the problem - pronounced noise during operation. In addition, the weakest regime will not be too weak for the majority of consumers. In view of this, users agree that the minimum mode should have been made less than half.

The blades of this device are 40 cm in diameter. The device can be easily adjusted in height. Basically, the device is more technologically advanced than similar products in this price segment due to electrical control via a remote control, the presence of a timer, thermometer and monitor.

The assembly itself is externally and perceptually quite solid, its weight is approximately 4 kg. However, engineering shortcomings are hidden directly in this. Due to the insufficient space for fixing the rod and the large mass of the device body (relative to the rack), a part of the body retainer will split soon enough. It is impossible to fix the body of the device on the rod. There are difficulties during assembly - it is extremely difficult to fix the protective grill, it will require coordinated actions of 2 people.

Pros:

• remote;
• timer up to 8 hours.

In such a device, rather large blades - 42 cm in diameter, all the necessary turns and tilts are realized. It is possible to select 3 variations of the step regulation speed. Management - mechanical, carried out using a remote control.

• height adjustment of the rack;
• change of the angle of inclination of the upper part;
• operation with a turn of 90 degrees or in a fixed position;

Best Radial Floor Fans

In this rating there are 2 models of fans that differ in their manufacturability. There are no blades, as in the above models of devices. Instead, airflow is generated by centrifugal forces from the rotation of the inner rotor.

AEG T-VL 5537

A similar device from a manufacturer from Germany, column-type with floor mounting, is produced in China. Buyers agree and appreciate the bright high-tech style quite highly. However, it is also noted that the metal body parts have only a decorative function.

The device is quite economical - the consumed performance will be 40 W. The option to turn the air flow is implemented. The angle is 75 degrees, but this will be a lot for a radial device. 3 rotor speeds with step regulation. There is a timer with a shutdown delay of up to 8 hours and a remote control. The dimensions of the device are quite compact.

Buyers also appreciate this product for its dimensions - it is possible to put it anywhere, even if there is not enough free space. In addition, such a device features low operating noise. The developer indicates about 25 decibels, and in accordance with the characteristics of users, the parameter is fairly fair.

VITEK VT-1933

Radial device which is a product of a domestic manufacturer and a Chinese design. Manufactured in a columnar form factor with floor installation. The device is distinguished by exceptional performance and the corresponding energy consumption - 120 W, which is approximately 2 times more than other similar products.

The function of rotating the air flow with an angle of 90 degrees is realized. Equipped with a timer with a switch-off delay of 7.5 hours and a remote control. It functions perfectly in conjunction with a signal receiver - buyers notice the “finishing off” of the impulse at a great distance, from adjacent rooms and from the balcony through the window.

There is a 3-speed mode with step regulation, here there are complaints from many buyers for excessive noise when choosing the highest speed. Other consumers find that redirecting the flow up will completely eliminate the problem.

Pros:

• unusual style;
• sensitive receiver for remote control;
• convenient form factor in storage and placement;
• sufficiently productive;
• remote control and timer;

Minuses:

• makes noise at maximum speed;

How to choose

The question often arises which fan is better. In order to make the right choice and correctly spend finances on high-quality equipment, it is recommended to focus on the following criteria:

• Power. When the user expects a small device to cope with the cooling of air in a 50 sq. m, then this will become a mistake. The designer declares what the maximum space is calculated for a particular product.
• Noise of the device during operation. The maximum possible noise level is 40 dB. When the device is bought for a children's room, then this parameter does not exceed 30 dB.
• Engine. A ball bearing option should be chosen as it is more efficient and quieter.
• Functionality. In modern products of floor devices, there is a switch-off timer, backlight, electronic monitor, air aromatization, humidifier.
• Manufacturing company. Popular brands tend to produce quality products.

It is suggested that you familiarize yourself with the list of the best manufacturers of outdoor devices. When compiling the rating, the opinion of people was taken into account, many characteristics of those who had already used the products were studied.
