Is it better to have a fan rotate or not?
Better cooling: Oscillating fans provide better cooling because they rotate, thereby allowing better air flow around the room. The air in the room is moved around, as compared to stationary fans that only move the air straight ahead. You can also choose to keep the fan stationary.
Is an oscillating fan better?
An oscillating fan simply blows the air stream from side to side, so the cooling is intermittent, but more people can feel the effect. A floor fan (oscillating or not) simply blows air in a stream. If you are in the stream, you feel cooler, if not, to you the fan is near useless.
How do I choose a standing fan?

What is the two fan trick?
Try the Two Fan Trick to Cool a Small Room The fan facing the ceiling will help circulate hot air that has naturally risen to the ceiling while the other fan will push that hot air through the doorway and out of the room—cooling you down.
Why are ceiling fans better than standing fans?
This central location in the room gives the fan a better vantage point from which to circulate air. Additionally, the blades for a ceiling fan are much longer than a standing fan’s blades which helps ceiling fans to move air more effectively than standing fans do.

They don’t contain a lighting feature, which is usually included in a ceiling fan, but they provide a good amount of cooling on hot summer days.
What is the difference between a box fan and a tower fan?
While box fans simply move air in a straight line from back to front, tower fans can be set so that the air circulates in any direction: upward, downward and through a rotary angle of up to 180 degrees. This allows the user to heat, cool or ventilate a larger area than is possible with a stationary box fan.
