The Classic 36-Inch is the value pick for a quiet bedroom. Levoit publishes a noise range of 28 to 48 dB, only a few decibels above the Lasko EcoQuiet at the low end, and it was on sale for $54.91 against a $74.99 list price when we checked. Its standout feature is a built-in temperature sensor: in Auto, Advanced Sleep and Turbo modes the fan changes speed as the room warms or cools. Advanced Sleep Mode starts with the display off and adds oscillation after an hour, which helps light sleepers who dislike glowing panels. There are 5 speeds, 90 degree oscillation, a 1 to 12 hour timer and a remote, and the back cover comes off for cleaning. Levoit rates the motor at 39 W with a top air speed of 25 feet per second. The limits are fewer speed steps than the DC fans here and no app on this version; Levoit sells a smart 36-inch model for $129.99.

Who it is for

Budget bedrooms where a fan that adjusts itself to room temperature overnight is welcome.
