**Question:** Which fan actually cools a hot room?

**Short answer:** Lasko Oscillating Stand Fan has the best record for airflow: 34 of 38 shoppers who mentioned it said it moves a lot of air and cools them down. Lasko Box Fan is a close second at 31 of 35, then Honeywell TurboForce Air Circulator Fan at 32 of 38. The small Vornado Flippi V6 Personal Fan has the weakest record here at 17 of 33.

**What stands out:** The three full-size fans with blades take the first three spots, ahead of the tower fans.
