How to choose the best fan for your bedroom
By and large, there are four kinds of fan. Desk fans are usually the smallest and can fit on a shelf or bedside table to keep you cool at reasonably close range. Pedestal fans place the fan at the top of a tall stand, and are designed to keep a larger area, or even the whole room, cool. Tower fans aim to do much the same job, but within a smaller cylindrical or column package that takes up the minimum space. Finally, floor fans are basically larger desktop fans that sit on or close to the floor and blast air out at a slight upwards angle.
Meaco MeacoFAN 1056P review: What do you get for your money?
This is Meaco’s largest and most powerful fan, only with a pedestal stand and a different control layout. The 1056AC has been the recipient of numerous awards, and it’s not hard to work out why. Thanks to some clever engineering and a DC motor, it’s impressively powerful yet simultaneously energy-efficient and quiet. The 1056P is essentially the same fan on a pedestal.
That pedestal design is worth talking about, though. The design is a bit chunky in order to manage the size and weight of the main fan unit, but it’s nicely sculpted to reduce the bulk and leave a shape that looks pretty good.
