What is a Pedestal Fan?
A pedestal fan is a type of electric fan that sits on a stand or pedestal and provides a refreshing breeze in any room or space.
Unlike traditional table fans or box fans, pedestal fans can be adjusted to different heights and angles, allowing for the right airflow for your needs. They are also generally quieter than other types of fans, making them a popular choice for use in bedrooms, offices, and other areas where noise is a concern.

Why Buy a Pedestal Fan?
A pedestal fan, also known as a standing fan or floor standing fan, can be a game changer during hot summer months. Not only do they create a cool breeze that can be felt from afar, but they also circulate air throughout the room, keeping the environment feeling fresh. Plus, compared to traditional fans that can take up table space, pedestal fans stand independently and can be easily moved from room to room, making them an ideal, portable choice.
Curious if a pedestal fan is the right choice for you? Check out our Fans Buying Guide article for inspiration and insights.
How to Choose the Right Pedestal Fan?
There are a few factors to consider when Choosing the Right Fan for You, including:
- Fan Size: When shopping for a pedestal fan, consider the room size where it will be used. This will help determine the optimal height and power of the fan. Larger rooms may need a taller fan with stronger airflow to circulate air effectively.
- Noise level: A key factor to consider, especially if you plan to use the fan in a bedroom or office, where quiet operation is essential. Look for fans with multiple speed settings and a sleep mode for ultra-quiet operation. To help with this, our article The Pros and Cons of Fans will point you in the right direction.
- Efficiency: An important consideration, look for fans with energy-saving features such as timers or auto shut-off functions that can help reduce electricity usage.
- Adjustable Air Flow: An Oscillating fan head is another feature to look out for. This design allows air to bounce off walls and the ceiling, creating a pleasant breeze throughout the room rather than blowing air directly at you.
