Desktop. Small models designed to be placed on a tabletop. Usually, they have low power and are designed primarily for the person directly sitting at the table. Among those, there are also portable options (
mini-fans), which are not powered by the mains and are available for use not only on the desktop.
— Floor. Fans intended for installation on the floor. There are two types.
Floor fans without stand are distinguished by the large diameter of the blades and high power, and also cannot adjust the direction and always blow in one direction.
Floor standing — a classic version of home ones, which also have large blades located at a height of more than a metre from the floor and can rotate around the stand, which allows you to ventilate the entire room.
—
Wall mounted. Fans equipped with special brackets that allow them to be mounted on the wall. The power of such fans is comparable to floor fans, and the advantage is that their installation does not require free space on the floor, which can be critical in small areas. On the other hand, wall mounting is much more complicated than floor mounting.

Floor/table (2 in 1). Transformer models adapted for use as a floor or table fan. The implementation of their design may be different. The vast majority o
...f such fans are equipped with a stand for placement on a desktop and a stand with a base for floor installation.
— Universal 3 in 1. Universal models can transform for use as a floor, desktop or wall fan, which can be useful when used in confined spaces. The implementation of the design itself may be different, but usually, a stand for placement on a table, a wall mount and a stand with a base for floor placement are included.
— Ceiling. With the help of a special mounting, this type of fan is installed directly under the ceiling, has large blades and has high performance. It is one of the most efficient types of fan, able to provide excellent airflow, and, in winter, such a device directs warm air downwards.The item refers to axial fans and gives an idea of the size of the device. The larger the size, the more airflow the fan can produce at lower RPM (and therefore less noise). It is worth noting that sometimes this indicator is indicated for the blades, and sometimes it is fully indicated for the entire grill body. However, this already gives an idea about the size and capabilities of the device.
Fans on a metal chassis are distinguished by a reliable and high-strength design. They stand steadily on different types of surfaces, have an exquisite appearance, but are heavier than their counterparts with plastic cases. Often such fans are equipped with a guard grills and blades also made of metal.
