Don't let its small size fool you: This 11-inch option has three modes that produce a cold breeze you can feel up to 27 feet away.

At its core, a good fan needs to do an efficient job at cooling down your home, but that doesn't mean it can't be stylish, too. Fortunately, you can get the best of both worlds with Vornado's vintage-looking fan.

From its famous vacuums to its hair tools that have a cult following, Dyson is the upper echelon when it comes to home appliances—and its Cool Tower fan is no exception.

Controlled by a small remote—that's curved and magnetized to snap right onto your fan—this pick has 10 airflow setting so you can have a customizable experience. There's even a sleep timer so you can set your fan to blow anywhere from 15 minutes to nine hours. And, thanks to the 70-degree oscillation, it spins a round just the right amount so you'll never have to wait too long for a cool blast.

Looking to simmer down your room without taking up too much floor space? Take a gander at Dreo's tower fan. At under a foot wide and just 36 inches tall, this slim pick can cool down your room at an impressive rate of 25 feet per second.

Speaking of sleep, this fan also has an eight hour timer so you can rest easy while you snooze.

That way, you can have a welcomed chill without procuring any unwanted dust bunnies.

Keep your cool on the fly with Gaiatop's portable fan. With three adjustable wind speeds that can be controlled with the click of a button, this handheld option is pretty straight-forward.

Personally, this is the kind of find we'd pop in our bag and bring to the beach or pool.

Boost your home's IQ with the help of Windmill's smart fan.

Though Windmill's smart fan can be operated through a soft-touch button on the machine, you can also control everything through voice commands or its corresponding app.

If your design style falls on the more minimalist end of the spectrum, reach for Rowenta's sleek alternative to the previous pick.

There's also an oscillation feature and auto-timer, both of which can be controlled from a handy remote.

Admittedly, shelling out a couple hundred dollars for a fan might elicit some sticker shock, so why not stretch your dollar with the 3-in-1 Clean Sense from Shark?
