Question : ceiling, window, box, or standing fan? what’s your flavor?
I LOVE THE POWER OF THE FAN. i love them for many reasons, the top ones being white noise and temperature control.

Here’s my input on all the fans I’ve had experience with:

~Ceiling~
comes with the house!
Pros: I feel like they actually circulate the air in the entire room and it’s fun to stare at them. it’s even more fun to play with the strings or to make it stop with some kind of object.
Cons: Extremely inconvenient when you want to do drugs in a powder form. Not loud enough for white noise for sleeping time. Also depending on the fan, sometimes the little strings that hang down clink over and over again and i want to slit my wrists.

~Window~
i’m talking about the little double fans that are super light you can easily move in and out of the window…you have to slide the window someone to make it fit. they are okay…
Pros: nice for easy portability, but I could really just stick a regular box fan in the window and do the trick ten times better. not a big fan at all.
Cons: I actually get semi depressed when I see one…

~Box~
probably my favorite ♥
Pros: You can move them easily. Stick them in a window to make the room more cool…turn it towards me if i’m hot. Perfect white noise for sleep or if i’m alone and it’s too quiet.
Cons: so much dirt gets trapped in it i feel like i’m just blowing bacteria all over me.

~Standing~
probably next in line after box
Pros: adjustable height usually, better than the box fan b/c no matter what angle I’m at, the standing fan’s got me…the box fan i might have to prop up on a chair or something. They turn back and forth and blow all over. Sometimes I think they just look cool.
Cons: usually not as loud as a box fan. They end up getting junk trapped in them too…after a while they start to make weird noises.sometimes I might like that it’s blowing on me one minute and not the next and then it might become aggravating….

~Industrial~
i’m talking about those huge silver fans from schools days that sat on the floor but had to be propped up by that other metal part of the fan. I am considering buying one of these for my apartment
Pros: LOUD!!! STRONG!! oh yah!
cons: extreme dirt/dust trapping. might be a little bit overkill for a studio apartment…

I HAVE TO BUY A NEW FAN THIS WEEK AND IM JUST TRYING TO DECIDE!!!!!!!
i can’t buy a ceiling fan and i’m not interested in a window fan.

I’m buying one fan for sure…but by the end of the year I want 3 more.

2 for the main room and 2 more for the sleeping room.
industrial ceiling fans

Have you seen the Dyson bladeless fans? They are so cool but very expensive. Check the link
