Tested by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute:The Best Tower Fan
New York, NY, March 14, 2011 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces The Best Tower Fan after it outperformed all other models in tests for air flow, quietness, ease of use, and features.
"The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1983 to research, test, and rate products objectively without commercial bias," explained Sheri Camarata, Product Research Supervisor for the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.
Hammacher Schlemmer Institute analysts used an anemometer to measure each fan's air velocity from 2" to 5' away. The Best model generated 522 feet-per-second wind streams on the highest setting, far superior to lesser fans that produced only 433 feet-per second winds. The Best Tower Fan also moved the greatest volume of air--up to 68% more than other models.
"Many of the fans that recorded high scores for velocity also produced excessive noise, but The Best Tower Fan produced only 51 decibels on the highest setting, unlike lesser fans that generated up to 63.3 dB," explained Ms. Camarata.
The Best model earned a perfect score for features, thanks to its 7½-hour timer, three fan speed settings, and its remote control that stores inside a compartment on the fan.
Analysts found The Best Tower Fan's instruction manual to be easy to understand, the unit assembled with little effort, it oscillates 75º for optimal air circulation, and its 13"-diameter footprint will not protrude into living spaces.
The Best Tower Fan is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $79.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com/79947 or call 1-800-543-3366.
