I’m a guy who tends to sweat — it’s just part of my nature. This summer, a birthday present from my father has been a lifesaver for my bed linens, which would otherwise be enduring the relentless heat waves affecting Brooklyn lately.

This well-liked globe fan is also extremely popular with college students. My cousins in college all claim it’s a top choice in the dormitories, and I understand why. It’s quiet, includes a remote control, and doesn’t occupy much space.

Over on Amazon, price inflators are hiking the cost of this fan up to $69.99, which is significantly higher than the suggested retail price of $49.99. But that’s not where we’re buying today.

If you’re looking to grab this oscillating fan on discount, check out Walmart, where it’s priced at $39.97. (That’s a whole two cents cheaper than the sale price at Best Buy.) For obvious reasons, fans are extremely sought after right now, and it’s always pleasant to snag one on sale in the height of summer warmth.

The fan can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally, allowing you to direct airflow precisely where you desire. The oscillation feature also establishes a steady airflow throughout the room, and you can switch between three speeds. There’s an extra breeze setting designed to mimic the varying pace of wind. I’ve found this feature to be pleasant but not particularly cooling, though it could be handy if you just want to catch a little fresh air on your face.

Additional features encompass a remote control and a timer function that will turn off the fan automatically after a designated time. I’ve been surprised by its power considering its compact size and quiet performance. I can keep the fan operational during online meetings, whereas my air conditioning unit generates a distracting sound.

And if you’re inclined towards a bladeless fan (or if you’re a loyal Amazon shopper), one of our preferred bladeless tower fans is also available at a discount.
