Sanford 18-Inch Stand Fan with Remote Control, LED Display and Adjustable Height - SF901SFN

The largest stand fan here, and the one to buy when a 16-inch simply is not reaching. At 18 inches with a 3-blade system running up to 1300 RPM, the Sanford SF901SFN pushes air across a large sitting room, a shop or a hall — three wide blades move air forcefully, which is what you want when distance is the problem rather than gentleness. 90° wide-angle oscillation covers the space, adjustable height lets you set the head level with seated or standing people, and the remote with LED display means you actually change the speed rather than leaving it on one setting. Being a pedestal, it moves between rooms — which is the advantage over a wall fan of the same size, at the cost of floor space.

Specifications

Buying guide

Size up to 18 inches when a 16-inch fan is not covering the room — a large sitting room, a shop, a hall. Below that, 16 inches is cheaper and adequate. Three wide blades move air more forcefully than five narrower ones, so this is the choice when you want a strong draught across distance rather than gentle air for sleeping; five-blade fans are smoother for a bedroom. The remote and LED display are the features that determine whether all three speeds get used, and on a fan this size the controls are low down and awkward to reach from a chair. Set the head height level with where people actually are rather than aiming over them. Keep the base clear of walkways since this is a large fan to trip over, check stability around children, and clean the blades monthly because dust cuts airflow and loads the motor.

How it compares

Against the 16-inch stand fans, this covers a considerably larger area. Compared with the 18-inch wall fan SF934WFN, that frees floor space and has a copper motor, while this can be moved between rooms. Against the tower fan SF6701TRF, that occupies a smaller footprint and looks neater but moves less air. Against a rechargeable stand fan, this needs mains power but costs less and runs indefinitely.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need 18 inches?
Only if a 16-inch fan is not reaching across your room. For a normal bedroom or sitting room, 16 inches is cheaper and adequate.

Three blades or five?
Three wide blades push air more forcefully across distance, which is what you want in a large room. Five blades are smoother and better for sleeping under.

Is the remote worth it?
On a fan this size the controls sit low and are awkward to reach from a chair, so the remote is what makes all three speeds actually get used.
