We bought Sunbeam pedestal fans for the bedrooms two years ago and they are fantastic. We paid about $150 each but they are worth it. Very quiet and lots of speed and direction options. They come with a remote control and they also have a timer.

Cool! Really interesting comments read on this!

I love the no blade ones but they are very expensive

If money is not an issue, then go for Dyson. But seriously, I’ve never spent more than $20 on a pedestal fan, and I use them all the time in Summer, and they last me for years.

I actually like getting a new one often. Saves me cleaning the blades after they’ve been sitting through winter and I don’t have to find anywhere to store them through winter! We are tight on space! Lol.

I have both a tower fan and cheap $10 pedestal fans & I love my cheaper ones best. I’ve had my cheapies for over 10 years.

Tower fans are very stylish and compact. You can purchase through bunnings

there are some good comments here

Some good advice there below.

We bought a tower fan instead – and love it!

I love the bladeless fans and I think they work as heat too. Thinking of getting one for a caravan

I wish I knew exactly what mine is. It’s a misting fan (can be used as a normal fan) and it has a sleep function. In this mode it is quieter, not that it’s load to begin with and the wind is gentler and not as constant. Maybe look for one with this function.

these are some great ideas

The bladeless fans look amazing, I’ve been wanting to invest in one for a while

Dyson has some awesome bladeless fans that look super stylish, I know Good guys stock them but they are a little pricey.
