floor fan

Ground-level air mover

A floor fan is a portable electric fan designed to sit on the floor rather than a table or ceiling.

Floor fans typically have larger blades and more powerful motors than desk fans, capable of circulating air throughout a room.

They often feature adjustable height, oscillation, and multiple speed settings: We set up a floor fan in the living room during the heat wave.
