When it gets unbearably hot outside and it also heats up inside the apartment, fans are just what you need.
There are also air conditioners, but many people prefer it when it doesn't cool down that much.
Ideally, the temperature difference should be no more than about 6 degrees Celsius.
Fans are an alternative for this, as they ensure a pleasant breeze in the room.
However, conventional pedestal fans are relatively bulky and not exactly aesthetic.
Another option are tower fans, which take up less space and are a bit fancier.
But which fan types are better?
Compact table fans are also suitable for the workplace.
