Just investing in a fan isn’t enough. If you really want to get the maximum benefit from your pedestal fan, you also need to consider exactly where you position it to deliver the best advantage. Take a look around the room you intend to use it in and work out where you need the cool air the most. You need your fan to deliver airflow in an unobstructed way for it to be most effective, but you also need to ensure that you can place it somewhere that in itself doesn’t cause a disturbance. Most pedestal fans offer oscillation of 90-degrees, so make sure that it’s set up and pointing in the right direction so that it can fully oscillate. Next to your desk or directly beside your bed are great places to place your fan if you really want to target that cooling breeze directly over yourself and your immediate environment.\r
