Singapore is located in a tropical region that experiences high temperatures all year round. As such, the fan is an essential electrical appliance present in all, if not most homes on this little red dot.
Among the various types of fans, standing (or pedestal) fans are one of the most common.
Thus, we decided to test 25 of the best standing fans that you can get in Singapore in 2020 and included reviews of their wind speed* and noise levels**.
*We measured the wind speed using an anemometer at close range to the respective fans. We took the recording from the highest speed of each fan so there is a consistent comparison.
**We included the noise level of certain fans based on information gathered from their website.
