Lasko EcoQuiet 42" DC Tower Fan review

The EcoQuiet takes the top spot because it pairs the lowest published noise figure on this list with a fair price. Lasko lists its Whisper settings at 23 dBa and the top speed at 46 dBa, which is a narrow and quiet range for a 42-inch tower. The brushless DC motor gives 12 speeds across three modes, so you can step down gradually at night instead of jumping between low, medium and high, and Lasko says it uses over 60% less energy than comparable AC tower fans. Night Mode lowers the speed and dims the control panel, and there is an 8-hour timer and a remote. Airflow is rated at up to 264 CFM, enough for a bedroom or a small office. The trade-offs are modest: there is no app, the timer stops at 8 hours and the product page does not state the oscillation angle. At $89.99 with a 2-year warranty, it is the default pick for a quiet bedroom.
