Among fans, standing fans are easy to move, can cover a wide area, and have strong adaptability. Because of these, they have become the main cooling choice for homes, offices, and temporary spaces.Data from e-commerce platforms in 2024 shows that stand fans made up 42% of the whole fan market. This is much higher than desk fans (28%) and tower fans (20%).Stand fans can work well in different spaces, for different groups of people, and meet different usage needs. This is a key reason they stay popular.
Home use is the main place for standing fans. Their "adjustable height + wide-angle oscillation" design exactly meets these needs:In the living room, they can adjust height from 1.2m to 1.5m (good for sofas and coffee tables), and they have 70°-120° wide-angle oscillation (covers 20-30 square meters). A survey from one household shows that standing fans cover 50% more cooling area in the living room than desk fans.In the bedroom, these standing fans have a silent motor (operating noise ≤35dB). They won’t disturb sleep at night, and user satisfaction is 91%.Their grille can be taken off (easy to clean) and they have a timer function (1-8 hours). These fit daily household usage well, and this makes them a top choice for "air conditioning-assisted cooling" in summer.
In confined spaces like offices (8-15 square meters per workstation), the "narrow body + directional air delivery" offer significant advantages. With a width of 30-40 cm, these fans can be placed in corners without taking up desk space (saving 60% of desk space compared to desk fans). Some models offer three speed settings with a lockable oscillating fan. The low setting is ideal for a single worker (to prevent documents from being blown around), while the high setting, combined with the oscillating fan, can cover multiple workstations. A survey of one office building showed that employees reporting "stuffy heat" decreased by 72% in areas using standing fans. Their low power consumption (50-70W) makes them more energy-efficient than air conditioners and suitable for extended operation.
For spaces where you move around a lot—like rented apartments and temporary dormitories—standing fans are lightweight and easy to put together. This solves the big problems people face in these places.Each standing fan weighs 3-5kg, so women can carry it easily. It’s 40% lighter than a floor fan.Some models can be split for storage (you separate the base from the fan body). This cuts the storage space by 50%, so it’s easy to move or store.You don’t need to do complicated installation—you can put the fan together in 5 minutes. This meets the "buy and use right away" demand. Data from a rental platform shows that standing fans have a 58% repurchase rate among renters, far exceeding other fan categories, making them a must-have for temporary cooling.

| Home Bedroom | Quiet motor (≤35dB), timer function | No sleep disturbance, easy operation | 91% satisfaction rate for nighttime use |
| Office Workstation | Slim body (30-40cm), three-speed settings | Space-saving, suitable for individual/multi-person use | 72% reduction in stuffiness feedback |
| Rental/Temporary Space | Lightweight (3-5kg), detachable storage | Easy to carry, saves storage space | 58% repurchase rate among renters |
Currently, standing fans are expanding their applicability through intelligent upgrades. Sales of models equipped with remote/app control (for remote operation) and temperature-sensing automatic speed adjustment (adjusting fan speed based on room temperature) have increased by 65% year-on-year. Some models also include air purification filters, offering both cooling and purification, making them suitable for those with allergies. As a "cost-effective + multi-scenario" cooling tool, the applicability advantage of the vertical fan will continue to meet the flexible needs of different users and become a "practical choice" for cooling in summer.
