When is a fan not a fan? When it's an air circulator, apparently. When the weather warms up, my wife and I had been using an old pedestal fan we bought years ago, and it does a fairly good job of making us feel cooler in our bedroom.
But fans are noisy, and they actually do nothing to lower the temperature. They just blow air directly at you, which makes you feel cooler while you're in the area it's pointing at. Air circulators, on the other hand, are designed to move all the air in the room. And that not only benefits everyone in the room, it also means you don't have a blustery column of air blowing at you.
I've been testing an air circulator from Meaco, a firm I've grown quite fond of after testing some of its products over the summer last year.
