Summary
The only fan that doubles as a true HEPA air purifier, with 10 speed settings and app control. CNET's top tower fan pick for those who want cooling and clean air in one device.
Consistently top-ranked by both experts and Reddit communities for moving serious air quietly. WIRED's top pick and a Reddit favorite for bedroom cooling and whole-room circulation.
Pros
- Combines HEPA air purification with powerful tower fan cooling
- 10 speed settings for precise airflow control
- Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri — broadest smart home compatibility
- Cool, steady airflow described as comfortable and non-forceful
- Moves huge amounts of air without excessive noise
- Whole-room circulation design outperforms directional fans
- Durable, built-to-last construction praised by BuyItForLife community
- No-nonsense operation with reliable performance year after year
Cons
- Significantly more expensive than competing tower fans

Our take
The Dyson is expensive, but if you have allergies or want air purification alongside cooling, nothing else comes close. It's the one fan worth the splurge.
If you want one fan that just works — no fuss, no gimmicks — the Vornado 660 is it. Reddit and experts agree more than almost any other fan on this list.
