Hoping to save on your electricity bills with the best stand fan in Malaysia 2020? While still keeping your skin from melting right off? You’ve come to the right place!
This selection of fans (including the best tower fans in Malaysia) will make a difference in your home air flow! Or you can use them to spot cool the air immediately around you!
Whichever it is, you can take your pick of fans below. Most are within the RM100 range!
Types Of Stand Fan
Stand fans can be moved to where you need them to be. Like portable air conditioners. There just needs to be a power outlet nearby.
With the exception of Dyson, they usually don’t cost much!
Regardless of which type you choose, they can have common features:
- Variable speed settings
- Remote control
- Timer
1. Pedestal Fans
The best thing about these fans is their height-adjustability. And you can direct the head up or down to face a specific direction.
2. Tower Fans
Airflow from the more costly tower fans is directed closer to the ground. They have louvres rather than blades.
How To Choose A Stand Fan
1. Room Size
Before you buy a fan:
It’s good to have an idea of the room size (in cubic feet) where you will be placing the fan.
For example:
A room of 1,000 ft³ would need a fan that outputs 1,000 CFM for optimum air circulation.
CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) is how airflow is measured.
2. Energy Efficiency
If there is one, you can use the Energy Star label as a guide to choose your fan! More stars are better!
High CFM is good too.
A fan that can produce 2,000+ CFM with 50 W of power is energy efficient!
3. Noise
For an acceptable noise output, get a fan rated below 60dB.
Remember, a more powerful motor and higher fan speed will naturally be noisier. Especially if you’re keeping it in a small room!
4. Timer
Do you want your fan to switch off automatically or change to a lower speed after a while? Some fans have a preset timer for 1 hour, 4 hours or even 8 hours.
5. Fan Modes
Like air conditioners, some fan models now have sleep mode.
6. Adjustable Angle
You should be able to choose between a fixed or oscillating direction. And if the head of the fan tilts up or down, that is useful too!
7. Adjustable Height
Maybe you like to sit on the floor. In that case, a fan that can lower its height is great!
8. Remote Control
So you don’t have to get up and make manual adjustments to the speed. Or to turn on and off the fan from where you’re comfortably sitting!
9. Number Of Blades
As with a ceiling fan, common sense would lead you to think that more blades are more efficient:
But newer models with just 3 blades can match up to their 5-blade predecessors! Because of better overall design!
Thus, this should not be a deciding factor for you to pick out a new fan!
