Hoping to save on your electricity bills with the best stand fan in Malaysia 2023? 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!
Table Of Contents:
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 louvers 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 having a fan with more blades is 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!

Panasonic is associated with quality and the Panasonic Stand Fan F-MX405 is an embodiment of that! With a strong base and motor! Enough to circulate air in a large room!
The fan is highly recommended by many users for its quality and performance!
Some even buy a second after getting the first! The blades are of plastic and run smoothly. And quiet enough to sleep to (level 1)!
Note: At level 3, it is not as quiet.
As long as you have a screwdriver, self assembly is very easy as well.
So if you don’t mind spending more than RM100 and can do without a timer, the Panasonic Stand Fan F-MX405 is one of the best pedestal fans you can buy in Malaysia!

Cons:

- Expensive
- No timer
2. Midea Stand Fan MF-16FS10N
Midea MF-16FS10N replaces Midea Stand Fan MF-16FS15F. And they are different in more ways than one. Even though both 16-inch models look very similar.
Firstly, Midea MF-16FS10N has red accents while the Midea Stand Fan MF-16FS15F sports a minimalist color scheme.
Midea Stand Fan MF-16FS15F has 5 blades where Midea MF-16FS10N has 3 large blades. The head of both models can oscillate and tilt.
Like the Midea Stand Fan MF-16FS15F, the Midea MF-16FS10N has 3 speed settings. Speed 1 has strong windflow.
Their energy consumption is similar too. Between them, the Midea MF-16FS10N has the higher power rating (55W vs 50W).
One feature that is missing from the new Midea MF-16FS10N though, is the 2-hour timer which the MF-16FS15F has.
For the price, the lightweight build of this standing fan is acceptable. However, be wary if you have young children that like to run around.
Considering stand fan prices in Malaysia, the Midea Stand Fan MF-16FS10N is still value for money!
At its price though, we would just opt for the Toshiba Stand Fan F-LSA10 which has longer timer duration and a sturdier base besides!
The MF-16FS10N is also not a quiet fan so don’t put it in a bedroom. In fact, the MF-16FS10N is louder than the Toshiba F-LSA10.
- Size: 16″ (40cm)
- Number Of Blades: 3
- Power Consumption: 55 W
- Features: 3 ABS Fan Blade, Adjustable Tilt, 3-Speed, Adjustable Height
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: ~RM100
Pros:
- Cheap with 1 year warranty
- Easy to install
- Adjustable head (tilt and oscillation)
- Decent build quality for the price
- Wind flow is high even at level 1
Cons:
- Loud
- Not nearly as powerful as an industrial grade fan
- No timer
3. Toshiba Stand Fan F-LSA10
Another powerful stand fan (even at level 1) that’s in the RM100 range:
The Toshiba Stand Fan F-LSA10 comes in white and does not look cheap. From personal experience, the build is solid. And it won’t take you long to assemble!
It is already audible at the lowest setting. The size suits our small living space. And there’s good air circulation, especially when using this with ceiling fans on too.
The sound it makes is a hum rather than a whine so that’s acceptable to us. It does not make conversations any less clear. So far, we never had to use the higher speeds with this, even in high heat.
We like that you can adjust the height of the fan. And tilt the fan head direction, up or down, left or right, oscillating or fixed.
If you want a minimalist style fan that has a 5-Star Energy Rating, is powerful and well made, then we highly recommend this one.
Although you may want to pick another model if you want a silent fan!
Note: It’s slightly shorter than your average pedestal fan.
- Size: 16″ (40cm)
- Number Of Blades: 5
- Power Consumption: 50 W
- Features: 5 ABS Fan Blade, 2-Hour Timer, Fully Automatic Oscillation (up to 85°), 3-Speed, Adjustable Height
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: RM109
Pros:
- 5 Star Energy Rating
- 2 hour timer
- High quality finishing with smooth edges, parts fit nicely
- Easy to self-assemble – with clear instructions
- Fan head and height are adjustable
- Already powerful at the lowest setting
- Clean appealing profile
- Sturdy base
Cons:
- A bit noisy (Level 2 and 3)
4. KDK Stand Fan KX405
Either in red, metallic grey or black, the KDK Stand Fan KX405 is stylish and functional.
It has only 3 blades but don’t let that fool you! As the KDK Stand Fan KX405 has the same CFM rating and capabilities (e.g. Fully Automatic Oscillation) as the Panasonic Stand Fan F-MX405!
Along with a 5 star energy rating!
Based on reviews, it is an excellent fan that you can self assemble easily.
Installation video:
There are users who stand firmly by KDK products! Finding that they are more reliable than other cheaper brands (like Pensonic) and last for 20 years!
Users really like the red variation of this fan! Also, if you’re looking for a tall and powerful fan that is well balanced, the KDK Stand Fan KS405 is the way to go!
- Size: 16″ (40cm)
- Number Of Blades: 3
- Power Consumption: 40.8 – 63.8 W
- Fan Speed: 765 – 1331 RPM
- Capacity: 2225 CFM

- Price: RM185
Pros:
- Quiet
- Strong wind flow
- Tall height but stable (heavy base)
- Looks nice
- Easy assembly
- Quality build
Cons:
- Expensive
5. Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A
Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A has an unusual selling point compared to other stand fans in Malaysia.
Because you can convert it to be a table or stand fan. The highest it stands is 35 inches (~3 feet). Moreover, it can fold completely into itself for easy portability.
On top of this, it’s cordless. That does mean you have to charge it. With a full charge, the fan lasts for around 3 hours.
One thing we don’t like about the Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A is that you cannot use it while it’s charging. The charging process takes 5 to 6 hours. But this feature protects the battery.
Other nice features of the Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A is that you can set the vertical swing up to 180°. The fan swings horizontally on its own. There is a timer and a remote control with this stand fan too.
The Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A is small but powerful for its size. Still, it’s better for personal use than to cool a large area.
Even though it has a sleek appearance, the Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A is sturdy. It is both convenient to pack and move around.
Unfortunately, the power adapter does not pack neatly into the fan. Nor is there a dedicated storage slot for the remote control on the fan.
We give Acson credit for their Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A. It’s an innovative idea in the saturated market of stand fans. It is not without its disadvantages.
But if you don’t need it on constantly, and need a portable personal fan, the Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A is a viable choice.
At this price point though (more than RM300), you could spend a little more and get yourself a Smart standing fan. Like the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro.
- Size: 11.6” (29.5cm)
- Rated Power: 14W
- Features: 8 speed settings, automatic horizontal swing, timer, 180° vertical swing (manual)
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: ~RM340
Pros:
- Appealing design
- Portable – fan packs neatly
- Good build quality
- Cordless (doesn’t look messy)
- Dual function (table fan and stand fan)
- Cover is removable for easy cleaning
Cons:
- Takes almost twice as long to charge as the runtime (3 hours+)
- Expensive
- Not exceptionally powerful
- No dedicated storage for the power adapter and remote control
- Short warranty for the price
6. Khind Antique Stand Fan SF141
The brass coating of the Khind Antique Stand Fan SF141 gives it a vintage vibe that will suit some homes better than a sleek modern fan would. Both body and blades are made of metal.
Users can’t get enough of how beautiful these fans are! But most users are surprised that it is smaller and more powerful than it looks! Even at the lowest setting (level 1)!
It’s a medium sized fan (almost half a foot shorter than other stand fans). Just reaching an average adult’s chest height. The maximum height is only 104cm.
PS: There is only a single screw to lock the blades in, which worried one user
A few reviewers suggest using this fan in a smaller room or an outdoor terrace/ porch as it may look out of place in a larger space! They also wish it was quieter!
The instructions are not very detailed, but most users have no trouble assembling the fan on their own. However, the cover/ cage and the base are prone to dents during delivery!
Tip: Check the condition of the case and base for dents before assembly.
- Size: 14″ (35.5cm)
- Number Of Blades: 4 Metal Fan Blade
- Power Consumption: 50 W
- Features: Overheat Protection, Fully Automatic Oscillation, 3-Speed, Adjustable Height
- Warranty: 1 year + 3 years on motor
- Price: RM159
Pros:
- Long motor warranty
- Safety thermal fuse
- Powerful output
- Easy to set up
- 5 Energy stars
- Very elegant
- Has a handle for convenient transportation
Cons:
- Quite noisy
- Not very tall
- Smaller than it looks
- Heavy (made of metal)
7. ELBA Stand Fan ESF-E1639TM
Elba gives Panasonic a run for their money with the affordable but durable ELBA Stand Fan ESF-E1639TM. You could possibly consider this if your budget is below RM100!
You’ll have to put up with some noise which more than a few users have complained about, but it’s still acceptable for sleeping!
What surprises users most about this stand fan, is how easy it is to assemble! One user took just under 5 minutes!
The 5-blade fan produces a strong wind flow at just speed 1. But the quality is lacking if you compare to other stand fans from brands like Toshiba.
For example, it wobbles slightly when in operation. So you may not want to put it at maximum height!
- Size: 16″ (40cm)
- Number Of Blades: 5
- Power Consumption: 50 W
- Features: Thermal Safety Fuse, Fully Automatic Oscillation, 3-Speed, Adjustable Height (up to 1.36m), 2-Hour Timer
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: RM99
Pros:
- Has a 2-hour timer
- Straightforward assembly
- Airflow is strong
- Lightweight
- Acceptable noise level (but noisy to some)
- Height is adjustable
Cons:
- A bit wobbly at the higher speeds
8. Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro
Between the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro and its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2:
Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro is more powerful. It is rated at 24W while Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 is rated for just 15W.
Both fans look very similar and have almost the same dimensions (343x330x1001mm vs 343x330x1000mm). The fans stand at roughly 3.2 feet tall. Each has 2 sets of blades – 5 blades in the front, and 7 at the back.
Like all the Smart standing fans in the Xiaomi Mi range, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 both require 2.4GHz WiFi and work with the Mijia APP.
Moreover, both fans support Alexa and Google voice control.
But the range that the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro is capable of is more than the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 (16 meters vs 14 meters).
So, if you have a large room to cool, it makes more sense to invest in the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro over the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2.
The price difference between the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 is about RM100.
Depending on whether you opt for 1 or 2-years warranty, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro can come up to RM400.
Which is pricey for a stand fan but the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro is wireless and has Smart features like app and voice control.
And like the Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro can be used as a table or stand fan. But the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro has a better charging to runtime ratio. It can last up to 18 hours depending on which mode and speed level you choose.
Plus, it only takes 2.5 hours to charge while the Acson Foldable Floor Fan AFF10A takes more than 5 hours to charge.
Hence, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro is our pick for the best Smart stand fan in Malaysia.
Review video:
- Size: ~11“
- Number Of Blades: 5 + 7
- Rated Power: 24W
- Features: Voice control, 140° oscillating angle, Mijia app control, Natural breeze mode, Wireless

- Price: ~RM400

- Supports voice control (Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant)
- Straightforward installation
- Good workmanship
- Able to set when to turn of the power (1 to 4 hours)

9. Dyson Cool Tower Fan AM07
As iconic as its price, the Dyson Cool Tower Fan AM07 is no longer sold on the official website.
But you can still get it (with warranty) on other platforms! There’s another version of this that combines a tower fan with an air purifier!
The stylish tower fan is light enough to be moved wherever you please. And is not at all difficult to put together.
Those with children feel more relieved to have this fan rather than a conventional one with blades!
It gradually improves the airflow in a room. The breeze is gentler and feels more natural than with a blade fan.
Review video:
A couple of users feel that a regular stand fan has more power than the Dyson Cool Tower Fan AM07. As one user put it, speed 7 of the Dyson Cool Tower Fan AM07 is about the same as speed 1 on a Khind fan!
But the majority of users seem to agree that it’s a good product overall. Just noisier than what they expected! They also appreciate its low maintenance (i.e. no blades to collect dust).
It’s pretty quiet as long as you use it below level 4 (out of the 10 available speeds). Or in an open area. The noise at speeds higher than 7 can be very distracting (i.e. shrill).
- Number Of Blades: Bladeless
- Power Consumption: n/a
- Features: Air Multiplier™ Technology, Safe, Smooth Oscillation, Sleep Timer, Remote Control, 10 Airflow Settings
- Warranty: 2 years
- Price: RM1,789
Pros:
- Remote control can be kept on the top of the fan (i.e. magnetic)
- Remote control
- Timer up to 9 hours
- Silent (until speed 3 or 4)
- Good quality (but not exceptional)
- Attractive versatile design
- Built-in HEPA and activated charcoal filter
- Intense spot cooling
- Smooth airflow output
- Cools air too
- Easy to assemble and clean
- Space-saving
Cons:
- Very costly
- Loud on higher speeds (4 and up)
- You cannot tilt the head at an angle
- Short power cable
With Air Purifying Function:

10. Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R With Built In Ionizer
While taller and larger than the picture shows, the Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R With Built In Ionizer can blend among your furniture with its nondescript profile. And still fit into a small space.
If not for the higher noise output at faster speeds, you may not notice its presence! Because users say that the speed at level 1 is already strong and the sound is noticeable.
Like the Mistral Tower Fan MFD1801R, the Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R can only rotate with a 60° angle. If you need a wider angle than this, check out the Midea MTF-101K 3 Speed Level Tower Fan below (as this oscillates at a range of 85°).
Since the Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R is noisier and more powerful than the Mistral Tower Fan MFD1801R, you can place it in your living room or a common area in your home.
PS: One user liked the Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R enough to get 4 units!
Just mind that if children bump into it, it does not hold its ground so well.
- Number Of Blades: Bladeless
- Power Consumption: 65 W
- Fan Speed: 735 – 1062 RPM
- Air Delivery: 307 CFM
- Features: 8-Hour Timer, Built-in Ionizer, 3 Airflow Settings, LED Display, Remote Control, Thermal Safety Fuse
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: RM276
Pros:
- Doesn’t take up a lot of space
- Good airflow
- Built-in air ionizer to purify the air
- Timer for up to 8 hours
- Easy to assemble
Cons:
- Expensive
- Not that quiet
- Taller and bigger than what most users expect
11. Midea MTF-101K Tower Fan
About half the price of the Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R (~RM150 vs RM276) but not as powerful (45W vs 65W):
The Midea MTF-101K 3 Speed Level Tower Fan is still as a popular stand fan in Malaysia.
It puts out decent wind flow. This may not be as much as a regular stand fan but the output is strong enough for a small room (with air conditioning).
The oscillating range of the Midea MTF-101K 3 Speed Level Tower Fan is more than the Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R too (85° vs 60°).
And the sound it makes is similar to the hum of an air conditioner. You should note that even at the lowest speed, the Midea MTF-101K 3 Speed Level Tower Fan is fairly noisy.
Since it stands at around 2.5 feet, the Midea MTF-101K 3 Speed Level Tower Fan is short for a stand fan. This is the main disadvantage of this fan as there is also no way to adjust the fans louvers so that they face up (or down) at an angle.
So, if you don’t mind having to prop the Midea MTF-101K 3 Speed Level Tower Fan up on a table, it’s a cheap solution for a small room that needs extra cooling.
If you want a taller tower fan, get the Mistral Tower Fan MFD440R (~3.7ft) instead of the Midea MTF-101K 3 Speed Level Tower Fan (~2.5ft).
Mind that the resulting air is not as cool as the output of an air cooler!
- Number Of Blades: Bladeless
- Power Consumption: 45W
- Features: 3 speeds, 3-hour timer,
- Warranty: 1 year
- Price: ~RM150
Pros:
- Easy to set up
- Affordable with 1 year warranty
- Looks nice
- Portable – it is light with a handle on top
- Space-saving
- Child-safe (can’t poke fingers inside the fan)
- Timer goes up to 3 hours
Cons:
- Noisy
- Not powerful enough for a large room
- Short height without no way to tilt the blades up/down
Conclusion
Our top pick for the best stand fan in Malaysia would have to be the Panasonic Stand Fan F-MX405 (Item 1). For quality, efficiency and long-term reliability!
However, there are plenty of other prettier options that may match the aesthetics of your home better. Without you losing out on efficiency!
