It seems like there is a lot of love for the lasko blower-type fans and I bought one a year or so ago to add to a circular shop fan I already had. Honestly, I find the circular industrial style moves a more air over a larger area. I recently got another fan for my wife that’s a shop fan with a directional enclosure and that’s my new favorite (I “borrow” it from her daily).
Picture below. Fan on the right moves a lot of air, but in a small area. I think the fan on the left is better, moves more air over a larger area, maybe not quite the velocity. Fan in the middle is the clear winner, good mix of velocity and concentration. Using all
3 in an air conditioned space makes for really good evaporative cooling.
