Overview
Not a box fan or a tower, the 279TR is a compact circulator with a three blade rotor and an adjustable tilt head. A remote sets one of three speeds and a timer, and an LED display shows the setting.
Whole room air movement from a small floor unit suits dorms and offices where space is short. Noise at the upper speed is moderate, and cooling comes only from moving air.
Who it's for
Small to medium rooms where one fan has to move air widely, with a remote for use from bed or a desk. Light sleepers sensitive to fan noise should choose a quieter model.
Pros and cons
- Remote control and timer
- Moderate noise at speed
- Cooling by air movement only
Performance notes
A shaped housing and a three blade rotor push a column of air across the room instead of a loose breeze. Tilt lets the stream hit the ceiling or a far wall, and speed sets how hard it moves.
