What makes a good fan?
Before deciding on a model, it is worth taking a look at important criteria: the air circulation rate (measured in m³/h), the volume in decibels (dB) and the consumption in watts. Additional functions such as speed adjustment, quiet operation, timer, night mode or remote control make all the difference - especially when used in the bedroom or home office. A quiet fan with around 30-40 dB is ideal for night-time use, while devices with at least 40 watts are recommended for large rooms. However, as fans are also becoming increasingly energy-efficient, it is essential to look at the air circulation rate. The installation location also determines the effectiveness of the cooling - tower fans fit well in corners, table fans are suitable for selective refreshment.
How to find the right fan size
Depending on the size of the room, you should ensure that the fan diameter is suitable. The following overview provides a good orientation:
Small room,\ e.g. guest room:
< 3 x 3 m Ø: 76 - 122 cm
Large room,\ e.g. living room:
< 6 x 6 m Ø: 127 - 137 cm
Very large room,\ e.g. loft flat:
> 6 x 6 m Ø: from 142 cm

Ceiling fans with and without light
Whisper quiet for the bedroomsYou only have one power connection on the ceiling and can't decide whether you want to use it for a fan or a ceiling light? Then simply choose a fan with integrated LEDs for good general lighting. Also available with remote control, which you can use to select the light colour. A whisper-quiet model is recommended for the bedroom, for example with a WhisperWind® motor like Hunter. Functions such as a night mode, a signal tone that can be switched off or a timer function also ensure undisturbed sleep.

Smart fans
Convenience through versatile controllabilityIn keeping with the times, fans can also be controlled smartly - by remote control or app. This makes it easy to adjust the speed and direction of travel. If the fan also functions as a light, the light colour can even be adjusted at the touch of a finger. If you wish, you can also call up the functions of the smart air freshener using a voice assistant. Another option: if provided by the manufacturer, simply retrofit a radio receiver and make the fan smart at a later date.

Standing stars and table fans
Flexible cooling - wherever you wantTable and pedestal fans can be operated from a power point in no time at all - perfect for spontaneous cooling. They are particularly popular in the study, home office or kitchen. In a direct comparison, tower fans impress with their space-saving construction, modern design and particularly even air distribution. Classic pedestal fans offer a higher air output and are sometimes height-adjustable. Oscillating models with several speed levels ensure individual air circulation in the room according to your own preferences.

Fans with IP protection class
Refreshment in the outdoor loungeIf even the most beautiful shady spot in the garden doesn't provide the necessary cooling in midsummer, it's time for a fan in the garden lounge. With an appropriate IP protection rating of at least IP44, ceiling fans, for example from the traditional company Westinghouse, can easily be hung in covered areas of the garden. If you only want to cool down temporarily, you can of course also take the table fan into the garden for a hot afternoon.
The most important facts about fans
)
A fan is useful all year round. While it cools pleasantly in summer mode, in winter mode - in reverse - it ensures good distribution of the heating air trapped under the ceiling. This option is perfect for reducing heating costs. If you want to benefit from your fan 365 days a year, you should make sure when buying it that it has the option of winter operation.
)
Ceiling fans are permanently mounted and wired via the ceiling connection. They are available either exclusively for cooling and distributing the air or with integrated LED lamps for general lighting. Standing and table fans can be positioned flexibly. With battery charging via USB, they are even a companion when travelling. Fans are already available for less than 100 euros.
)
Of interest are performance, suitability for a certain room size and different intensity levels. Depending on the type of ceiling, pay attention to the weight. Pedestal fans should be able to tilt and oscillate (move the head). Also practical: height-adjustable pedestal fans. And the operating options range from pull chains to smartphone apps.

Winter mode
In winter, the warm heating air that accumulates under the ceiling is better distributed in the room. This also keeps your feet warm and effectively saves on heating costs.

Summer mode
In summer, the fan circulates the air, creating a pleasant cooling effect on the skin. The strength of many fans can be regulated individually.
