Anyone with Experience with Tower Fans?

yup

but also a tiny bit more delicate - the revolving part can stop working if it's not treated with respect

I own and use three. I like them but can't say they are better than a circular floor fan. Obviously, they have a smaller footprint. Two of them have features I either don't understand, or at least don't use. Two of them have timers, for crying out loud. One even had a remote control. It kept falling out of its little niche and I threw it away.

I suppose the circular fan has a wider wind path, but that's not a big feature when they can all be set to oscillate.

Thanks. Ended up buying a Vornado floor fan. I don't have air conditioning and I rather have a sturdy fan that won't go kaput with a single hiccup nearby.

I have a small bedroom/living room but smaller footprint isn't a worry for me.

No reason to regret either choice.

I remember our fan from my childhood, maybe from the forties, army or not, but probably.
Sturdy thing, it was. I am guessing I sold it in a garage sale when I had to sell my parents' house, but am not sure. In any case, duh, stupid of me.

Here in Sandville, some of us use swamp coolers (others having regular AC systems), and I figure some having none. The swamp coolers help somewhat. I can still deal with heat, but get cranky if it gets over 95 outside or, say, 88 in the house, thus the cooler, whence it will go down to, say, 83. depending on the day, maybe lower. But there are ceiling fans in the main rooms, and some have more than one speed. That was one expense when I moved in, well worth it.

Add, swamp coolers don't make it in areas of high humidity.

I'll add that I what went through when I gathered my swamp cooler was dead last year, and went to Home Depot and bought two apparently great standing fans. A bit fatter and squatter than the thread pictures.

Michael fixed the cooler (it's 1986 old), I took back the fans. I remember it being hard to choose which type.

I like the two most recent ones - they are combo heater/fans. Great not to have to store one or the other.

Can you sleep with the floor fan? They're usually too loud for me...
I have a tower one from Honeywell and at a lower setting while oscillating and you don't hear a thing.

I rely on ceiling fans in every room.

Yeah, those evaporative coolers are great when the humidity is low, especially after sundown when outside temperature drops way below the temperature in the house.

And here was me thinking you had problems with a fandom base, expecting, at the very least, to learn something about a new cult film/show.

I'm very disappointed.

I also have a ceiling fan. Not effective during the worst of NYC humid summer nights.

I wear ear plugs when I sleep. That's why I went ahead and bought a pricier Vornado floor fan. Due to past experience, it's like a white noise machine.

can you afford a small dehumidifier? they really make the biggest difference - take out the humidity and blow out nice cool air

I always thought dehumidifiers were for basements and other enclosed spaces where mildew were potential issues.

I'll give that a thought and look around.
