Even if you’re blessed with a home that has air conditioning, you probably don’t want to run it all the time — after all, those energy bills add up fast, and AC is a complicated environmental issue. Using fans instead can keep you cool while also having a smaller impact on your wallet and the planet.That said, it’s understandable if you’ve been underwhelmed by fans in the past. Not all of them are equally powerful. But with a bit of digging, we were able to find highly-rated fans that reviewers say blew them away (get it?), and all of them are available for purchase on Amazon.If you’re hoping to keep your AC usage low during warm weather season but still want to stay cool, check out these options that earned reviewers’ stamp of approval.AmazonA classic oscillating Dreo tower fanRating: 4.6 out of 5 starsStanding 36 inches tall and able to circulate 25 feet of air per second, this Dreo tower fan has four modes and four speeds you can adjust using the included remote. The fan has 90-degree oscillation to help cool down the whole room, as well as an eight-hour timer.

Sleek design with low to no noise with such great power, I feel like I won a lottery. Buying couple more at this price is the best deal." — Hamza MuhammadAmazonA HuffPost writer-approved Vornado pedestal fanRating: 4.5 out of 5 starsHuffPost Shopping writer Tessa Flores wrote about owning this Vornado pedestal fan, saying, "Rooms that would normally feel oppressive and stuffy with heat are instantly transformed into spaces that are more comfortable, temperature-regulated and noticeably fresher. This has been a game changer for summer nights and on those occasions when I don’t want to sit in front of the overly drying and artificially cold blast of the AC." She added, "The blades and fan head are also significantly easier to keep free of dust compared to other fans I’ve owned."This fan has three speeds, an adjustable tilt and height, and — unlike most other fans — actually looks pretty chic with its retro aesthetic. You can get this in jade green or cream.Promising review: "This is hand-me-down quality. I expect this thing will last forever - it’s VERY heavy, quiet, and really moves the air around. It reminds me of the appliances from the 40s and 50s from your grandparents house that still work. If you want a fan that will outlast you, this is it." — KathrynAmazonA smaller Honeywell fan with over 96,000 5-star ratingsRating: 4.6 out of 5 starsBy far the cheapest fan on this list, this Honeywell option is also one of the best-reviewed, with over 16,000 5-star reviews. A smaller, personal fan, this still packs a punch with three different speeds and an aerodynamic turbo design that lets you feel the cool up to 25 feet away.

It’s small enough to throw in a suitcase or shift around the apartment, but it packs way more power than I expected. The airflow is strong, even on the lowest setting, and it’s surprisingly quiet for how effective it is.It also tilts, which is super helpful whether I’m using it on a desk, shelf, or nightstand. I’ve used it while studying, sleeping, getting ready, and even just as white noise in the background — it’s genuinely become a staple in my daily routine.If you’re on a budget and need something that works without taking up a ton of space, this is 100% worth it. Not glamorous, but ridiculously dependable. I’ll probably end up buying a second one soon." — VPAmazonThis coveted Dyson fan that doubles as a heaterRating: 4.3 out of 5 starsThe only thing to love more than a great fan is one that doubles as a heater, saving you from purchasing yet another appliance once the weather turns.

Heats more quickly. Fan can be focused or spread out. Thermostat. Timers and other features as well as efficiency make this higher price tag worth the price. It is quieter than a traditional fan but moving wind is never truly quiet. Love this magical device." — TagAmazonA more affordable Pelonis tower fanRating: 4.3 out of 5 starsA more affordable alternative to the ultra-popular Dreo tower fan we featured earlier on this list, this Pelonis tower fan is 30 inches tall and features 90-degree oscillation and three speeds.

Get it." — Katrina Del CastilloAmazonA smaller but still powerful Dreo circular fanRating: 4.6 out of 5 starsDreo isn't just known for their tower fan; you can also get a smaller fan for your table or desk like this one, whose powerful air flow can be felt at a maximum distance of 70 feet away.

I now live on the second floor in a studio apartmentI which means not much room at the inn for an extras but this little fan packs a powerful refreshing punch whether I am at my computer or laying in bed or washing dishes. Of course it's easy to move and I can point it upward in my direction. It's a winner and so reasonably priced. Wished Dreo made more products. They are reliable. I thank Dreo for selling it and I thank Amazon for sending it. It's a great fan to use for we old timers. (I'm 73)" — outoftheblueAmazonA Levoit tower fan with smart temperature sensorsRating: 4.6 out of 5 starsWhile it does come with a remote, this Levoit fan is pretty hands-off in that it does most of the hard work for you thanks to the smart temperature sensors that adjust the air flow accordingly, 90-degree oscillation and a 12-hour automatic timer. The fan offers four modes and five speeds, able to move up to 25 feet per second, while still only operating at 28 dB.Promising review: "Wow!! Amazing fan. First I’ll say that I run hot cause of meds I take and I’m always sweating. Hot sleeper, and all that “good stuff”. Well this fan is going on the holy grails list. It works so well… perfect amount of white noise and “wind” speed. I usually hate the tower fans but this one surprised me for the price you can’t beat it. Plus a remote and cool features to turn it off automatically. I love it so far. I also usually never have my fans on rotation mode but this one works so well that I use that function and the whole room got colder in minutes. Gonna be a great summer . " — Teddy VelasquezAmazonThis Lasko Wind Machine fan for large spacesRating:. 4.4 out of 5 starsStanding 25 inches tall, this "Wind Machine" fan packs a serious punch with three speeds.

This fan is made with a durable, rust-resistant plastic construction to help it last for years, even when used in humid conditions.Promising review: "This fan is amazing. I ordered it because we are forewarned this will be a brutal hot summer in our area. We have had 3 hot summers with 40-50 days in the 90s and last year a week over 100. This amazing fan arrived today and I plugged it in on low for a gentle breeze down 30 ft hallway hall into living room. Very quiet, lovely, comfortable summer breeze, I turned it on high and WOW, power plus.If you are in need of a fan for summer season order this one fast. They are fantastic, great price right now. They will sell out fast. No more silly remotes to loose, no charging batteries or finding one of those hated little cube things. This fan is all together the easiest most efficient appliance in my house to plug in and go. 3 tilt positions, 3 speeds, no digital nonsense to fiddle with 6 buttons. I buy a couple new fans every 3-4 summers. I have had at least a dozen. Some in the $100s. This fan is the best of the lot. No one will dare borrow this one. This fan is a treasure." — mary wThe original version of this story was published on HuffPost at an earlier date.
