Power consumption

The maximum power consumed by the fan during operation. The higher the power consumption, the higher, usually, the greater the airflow rate created by the fan, and, accordingly, the higher the performance of the device. On the other hand, power usually directly affects the price, all other things being equal.

Number of speeds

The number of preset speeds at which the fan blades can rotate. The rotation speed is usually set by pressing the corresponding button (in addition, there is also a stepless adjustment, see the relevant paragraph). Most modern models with step adjustment have three preset speeds.

Air flow

The maximum performance provided by the fan — that is, the maximum amount of air that it can pass through itself in an hour.

The air flow is selected by manufacturers, taking into account the area and, accordingly, the volume of the room for which the device is designed. For efficient operation, the device must be able to pass the entire volume of processed air through itself at least once per hour. At the same time, for models with the same area of the room, different performance parameters can be claimed — accordingly, the processing speed and efficiency will differ.

Also, note that the recommended area of the room can be estimated by performance if the latter is not stated in the characteristics. For example, if the device provides 200 m³/h, this means that the volume of the room can be less than 200 m³, which, with a standard ceiling height of 2.5 m, gives an area of 200/2.5 = 80 m². And ideally, the area should be even 2-3 times smaller — that is, be about 25-40 m².

Minimum noise level

The maximum noise level produced by the fan when running at low speed. It is good to know this value, especially in the conditions of operation of the device at night or in rooms that need silence.

Base

Cross base. The most common type of base for floor-standing fans, it provides sufficient stability while maintaining a lightweight design. Also, fans with a cross base are usually cheaper than others. Of the advantages, a collapsible design can be noted, which creates additional convenience for storage or transportation.

Disk base. This type of base is massive, usually, such discs at the base can weigh 3-5 kg, depending on the fan model. They are made from various materials. Usually, the disk comes as a separate part of the structure, on which a decorative overlay is put on top. It is believed that such a base provides better stability than many cross bases.

Tripod. The least common type of base, in which, apart from the aesthetic component, there is nothing else. In terms of structure, such models are too voluminous, and in terms of reliability, they are at the level of models with a disk.
