A tower fan uses what amounts to a centrifugal blower, whereas a pedestal fan uses an axial fan design. Centrifugal blowers produce faster air velocities and tend to be quieter. Axial fans tend to move a larger volume of air (CFM) and tend to be a bit louder. Great job with the video. This is exactly the results that could be expected based on scientific principles.

I’ve had both fan designs and the bigger sized standing fans are way better than the rest of the fans.
-
After having 2 tower fans in the last 10 year I recommend the standing 😅fan in AZ.
-
Title should be "£170 fan vs £20 fan. Which is best?"
-
hmnn. my concern now is cleaning and maintenance. its pretty easy to clean and maintain a traditional fan.
-
You measured wind speed, but you really need to measure volume of air that is pushed as well. You can take computer fan and measure the speed and it will be pretty high. But you will not feel anything, because volume of air is negligible.
-
You didn't mention cleaning, my tower fan simply comes away at the back so you can take it apart and wash it, its the 42inch Levoit Tower 👍

I had a ac motor pedestal fan and on high it uses 50 watts and the airflow was not that much and then I got a dc motor pedestal fan and on highest setting it uses 25 watts and that the airflow was strong and that it uses the same power as a usb phone charger on lower settings like 7 watts and under
-
Can you do a video where you take apart a tower fan so we can see how it works?
-
I keep breaking my laskos went through 3 of them in two years going to pick up a tower fan but worried about knocking it over.
-
Thank you that was a thorough review!
-
New type... had the same tower fan since 1995 lol. They work well, this one must have been well made too because aside from taking it apart to clean it every couple of years and giving the top bearing some oil it has run for 28 years!
-
Nice review! I'm surprised that tower fan used less energy vs the standing fan, from my experience it's been the other way around in terms of getting good airflow. The Dreo I would say would be considered a more high end tower fan vs the stuff you can find in Walmart or Costco so perhaps that make the results better than if you had a tower fan in a cheaper price bracket to match the standing fan. Otherwise, a good in depth review that's hard to find!

We have a standing fan with a heavy base that’s close to 40yrs old, maybe more (I remember seeing it when I was very young
-
And what exact was the wind speed between the two??.... buying a fan the first thing people want to know is how strong they are, how well they work - not what buttons it has... and no one actually gives a review how powerful it is and how well it works!
-
Why didn’t you do a 12 speed fan and the 12 speed tower?
-
What app on the phone was he using for the sound detection at 1:08
-
I've had a tower fan, doesn't put out as much air, in the very hot summers it's no match for a stand fan.
-
If it's a super hot day and your room is a sauna, which one is better?
-
Thanku 😍
