How to read this page
- A ceiling fan often spreads airflow across a room more efficiently, especially when used for many hours.
- A tower fan may be easier to place and cheaper upfront, but it depends more on proximity and room layout.
- Use the same daily hours on both sides before deciding whether portability or room-wide airflow matters more.
