GaaraOfTheSand 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 I need to get a tower fan for my small kitchen. Best is slim with slim base can save floor space but can cover as much height as possible one. Got recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Topspin 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 My in law had one tower fan but realised that there is no way I can open the cover to clean the blades. There is a screw to open it but it needs a special tool. Normal screw driver won't do. Not sure if this issue applies to all tower fan brand. Please check with shopkeeper before you buy it.

Try Mistral Tower Fan, saw at Best Denki, $99, powerful, and with easy remove back filter that can be washed. I am also eyeing for tower fan for my new house. Cheers.

There are several components that are inside and cannot be taken out easily; you'll need to reach in to wipe away the accumulated dirt. Or learn to live with it. Conventional fans are a breeze to clean (pun unintended) albeit they look awful and take up much space. It's your choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
