If you want to feel the breeze, you’d be better off with a tower fan.

It’s also louder than many tower fans at around 70 dB on high. Thankfully, most fans fall into one of six general categories: Pedestal fans offer adjustable height, oscillation (though many tower fans have this also), and larger blades for more power, and they are easier to clean because the blades are usually visible. Misting fans are usually air circulators or pedestal fans that come with an attachment for misted water to be expelled with the air.
