Air Circulators vs Traditional Fans [WHICH One is BETTER?]

They're both fans.

Fans change the temperature? How? They just move the air

Air Circulators are best used near AC vents. Their blades are pitched in a way to throw air at a further distance and it gives the room a nice chill feeling when it bounces the walls. I’ve saved a bit on my electrical bill cause the AC doesn’t turn on as often. For reference I use a Vornado 279TR and a WooZoo Globe Fan. Both were bought from Costco. I’ve also owned a Vornado 660 but gave it to my uncle to use it in combination with his Mini Split.

Marketing....got it.

Bought a Meaco air circulator to replace my fan. It does make the room feel fresher and is far quieter. Worth the extra doe imo.

How dies ir do vs ceiling fan

i love how the brand name is just "brand" 😂 nice touch

I think the whole premise behind an air circulator is kind of nonsense. It obviously cools you down the most when it’s pointed directly at you, just like any old fan. Only difference is that it’s more quiet and pushes more air. And in my experience traditional fans tend to develop a lot of annoying noises after a bit of use—rattling, clanking, motor whine. Makes it impossible to sleep with them on.

The thing with air circulators is that they propel the air in a vortex-action, which can travel longer distances. The vortex can bounce off other objects and walls in the room until it is eventually sucked back in through the back of the air circulator. Fans can also work to circulate air in a room, they just don’t propel the air as far and as efficiently as air circulators.

Fans also have a 360 oscillator, my circulator doesnt

air circulators work well when there are openings (vents, doors, windows, etc) that are struggling to pull air across, as the circulators ensure that air gets cycled constantly

air circulators are just rechargeable fans but bigger and use an ac current.

Nice design.

A fan and air circulator are the same thing. What do you think a fan does? It moves the air. 😂 When was the last time anyone has ever said? Let's buy an air circulator? I have never heard anyone say that. Im sure some company out there probably makes a fan and calls it a air circulator though, probably hoping some poor sap, will buy it thinking its something special.

They are only fans bro
