Unlike common household fans that sit on the floor and are too low to effectively cool higher areas, this oscillating fan is 4' tall, providing a greater range of cooling height. Traditional fans have to be placed away from walls or other constricting spaces, but this unit occupies less than 1' sq. of floor space and can stand in a corner for greater air circulation throughout a room without impeding foot traffic. It has a digital programmable thermostat, three fan speeds for personalized cooling, and it can be set to oscillate through 90º or remain in a fixed position for targeted air flow. A sleep setting automatically lowers fan speed at night to reduce noise levels, and all functions can be controlled by the key panel or the remote control that stores in a slot on the fan column. 48" H x 11" Diam.
