SRF News tested ten standing fans to determine which models provide the most reliable cooling. The tests evaluated factors such as airflow direction, noise level, handling, safety, construction, and energy consumption. Some models produced a wide airflow that could potentially blow papers off desks, while others offered a focused, adjustable air stream. Safety was tested rigorously, with some models failing due to potential risks like fingers getting stuck in the protective grid. Philips and Stadler Form received criticism for their performance in the safety test, though they argued the testing standards were stricter than required by EU norms. One model, Blanc, suffered significant damage during the tilt test.
